Adding Active Standby Plugins
You can see from the screenshot the standard standby screen, on my N82. There are the 6 Active Standby shortcuts, and three functions listed below, Search, Calendar and WLAN. What I would like to see Nokia incorporate into NSeries and standard S60 phones is the Active Standby plug-ins found on ESeries phones. I really don't see why it can't be included for most phones in a firmware update. The plug-ins allow you to choose which options are listed under the shortcut icons. You can remove all shortcut options under the icons, if you wish, you can add features such as message inbox details, add voicemail alert details, etc. My friend Neil from Mobile...

Nokia N82 battery performance
Battery performance is key in any phone I use. It is a major reason why I've stuck with the N73 for so long, and my early impressions of the N82 in this regard are very positive. Norman John over at the Symbian World blog has put his N82 through its paces to see how well his battery stood the test. Click here for the po...

Nokia N82 V Nokia N73 Camera test
A couple of posts down I showed some images comparing the camera of the Nokia N82 with the Sony Ericsson K850i. In the comments someone asked for some comparisons between the N82 and the N73, so here we are. Personally I think the N73 holds its own with the N82 much better than the K850i did. All the images are posted here on Flickr, with all EXIF data, if anyone is interested. Click on the images to see them in full size:Nokia N73Nokia N82Nokia N73Nokia N82Nokia N73Nokia N82The following two pictures are taken in macro:Nokia N73Nokia N82The next two pictures were taken indoors, with the flash on:Nokia N73Nokia N82These last two pictures were...

NSeries PC Suite is back
I posted a while ago when the NSeries PC suite was first released, which was of course a beta release. After lots of feedback from various bloggers, the PC Suite was pulled so suggested improvements could be made. After all, the whole point of a beta release is to allow people to try an admittedly non finished product, and to get feedback on what improvements people suggest. In this regard, Nokia are way ahead of the competition. They have an extensive online presence, they talk to people who are passionate about their product and they do listen to feedback. Anyway, the PC Suite can be downloaded here, you can tell Nokia what you think by leaving a comment on Tommi's blog here and over at AllAboutSymbian you can read about the new release with screenshots t...

Nseries-Mobile Nokia N82 Review
.jpg)
Goodbye N73 - Hello N82The Nokia N73 is one of the best handsets ever released in the NSeries range, and has been my main phone since it first hit the market. I've tried over phones, other Nokia handsets, other NSeries, handsets from Motorola and handsets from Sony Ericsson. Most recently I purchased an N95, but even that went in favour of my N73, as I mentioned back in July. The N73 just gives a good solid all round package. It is reliable, dependable, has a very good quality camera, is well built, solid, and hard working. It is simple and straight forward to use, and has a battery that just goes on and on. I know when I leave home for the day...

Back from Finland - Nokia N82
.jpg)
I'm just back from Finland, after attending the launch of the Nokia N82, thanks to the guys at Womworld. After getting some hands on time with the phone I am left with a very positive impression. It just feels good in the hand. It is fast, pocketable, usable in an everyday kind of way. Below are some pictures of the N82 alongside the N73, N76 and N95. Over the next day or two I will be giving the phone a real workout, putting it through it's paces. I will post up my thoughts so check back for more. The below pictures were taken on an N82, and have been resized. Full size pictures will be added to Flickr and I'll add the link when d...

Un kit de développement logiciel devrait finalement être présenté lors du Macworld, en janvier. Le report de la date de mise à disposition de ce kit pourrait bien être due à un certain Leopard... William Hurley adore son iPhone. Mais il l'aimerait encore plus s'il pouvait créer pour lui des logiciels sur mesure. Et il n'est pas le seul.
