Must-Have App: Maps Booster by Skyhook Wireless
My Nokia phones need to find my position accurately and quickly since I use location services like geotagging photos, checking-in on Foursquare, or navigating with Ovi maps. Fortunately there’s a revolutionary app called Maps Booster that helps your Symbian phone find your location really fast no matter what other applications need it. That’s right… I said revolutionary. If you don’t believe me, watch Steve Jobs explain the awesome technology behind the app.
Skype Excluded from Ovi Store in the US Because of Verizon Deal
When I couldn’t find Skype for Symbian at the Ovi Store here in the US after the announcement, I thought there was probably a temporary delay.

Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition Firmware Updated to v40 – Feels Incomplete
The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition got a firmware update to software version 40.2.005, but it feels incomplete.

The new Ovi maps with free navigation isn’t included within the new firmware either, so you have another download to take care of if you haven’t installed it previously.
Capture Panoramic Images with QuickPanorama for Nokia N900
Morpho QuickPanorama showed up in the Ovi Store for the Nokia N900 this week. It lets you take panoramic photographs by only moving the camera to capture a wide landscape.

Nokia’s Ovi Store Updated With New Content Sorting (Excludes Maemo)
The Nokia Ovi Store team rolled out an update on Thursday to provide faster access to relevant content with new content sorting for the store. This seems to apply to S60 devices only like the Nokia N97 mini because I do not see the changes on the Nokia N900. The update is available through a prompt when opening the Ovi Store.
