Last few days
I posted a few days ago about a promotion we have running at the NSeries Mobile NSeries shop. Here is a reminder on what is on offer:
The first title is Psiloc's IR Remote. IR Remote from Psiloc allows you to control multimedia devices such as TV, HiFi set, CD, VCR, and DVD players with your mobile phone. I suppose it's worth mentioning you actually need an IR port on your phone for it to work....
The second title is Smartmovie SmartMovie is a video player for Smartphones device, with a counterpart PC converter. With the converter, you may prepare any video clip for playback on your mobile device.
Third, we have PapyrusWith Papyrus you get a complete solution for managing your busy life. Papyrus is a complete management solution for S60 phones, offering several different smart-views and powerful tools for keeping track of a hectic schedule.
Fourth there is the excellent Profimail Profimail is a powerful e-mail client for S60 phones. It allows you to read your mail on the go and send text with attachments directly from your device. Send photos, recorded sound or simply text messages to friends from anywhere. One of my favourite applications.
And lastly, there is Handy Taskman Handy Taskman allows you to keep tabs on different applications you are running concurrently on your Symbian Smartphone.
It recognises programs that are running and checks the size of remaining memory left on the Smartphone (RAM, Phone memory and memory card). Just select the program and enter the first letter of its name to start it.
The requested program can be started from the full-screen display list of recently launched programs. With Handy Taskman one can switch back and forth between selected programs, shut them off, delete them or shut off the whole group. The program compresses the applications in the working memory of the Smartphone to do this.
Click on the software titles to be taken directly to the product page, for more information. During the cart process you will need a code to obtain your 20% discount, the code you will need is 1230065120091FD
The offer runs until 31st January
Location Tagger
Nokia Beta labs have released a location tagger app, which I would love to write about but things are just so hectic right now. So, pop over to AllAboutSymbian to get the lowdown from Rafe.

N82 Firmware update
The N82 has a firmware update available, latest version is now 11.0.117. A couple of other people have upgraded theirs, Rafe at AllAboutSymbian and Stefan at IntoMobile
Due to my PC being offline the last two days I only managed to update my phone last night, and it all went through fine. The N82 update was the first to offer User Data Protection, and I agree with Darla Mack UDP is a beautiful thing. UDP protects data stored in the phone memory, so you don't need to reinstall everything. It is still advisable to backup, just in case, but it is a good thing to update the firmware and find all apps working, the whole menu laid out as you have set it, etc. It used to be such a pain re-installing everything.

Nokia N78 To Be Launched In February?
I received an email yesterday from an affiliate network, which included details of forthcoming handsets to be released in the coming months. The one that caught my eye straight away was the N78! The details suggested that the handset will be released in February 08, although as usual, release dates do change. The spec listed for the handset are:
• WiFi
• HSDPA
• 3.2 Megapixel camera
• 8GB internal memory
• Expandable Memory
• On board maps with A-GPS
• FM Transmitter
The FM transmitter is interesting, does that mean it has an FM radio, or does that mean it has one of those transmitters for sending signal to a nearby FM radio? Also, 8GB internal memory *plus* expandable memory?
The design of the phone is a standard monoblock design, similar to the N82, and is black. Keypad design wasn't clear.
The N78 is supposed to be featuring S60 FP2 but that wasn't listed in the spec, although to be fair the spec list just covers the main highlights. All very interesting, let's hope it does release in February.

Nokia N95 8GB, the first DLNA certified mobile
Press Release:
Nokia today announced that the Nokia N95 8GB had the distinction of being the first ever mobile phone to receive Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) certification. The DLNA is a body advocating the interoperability of wired and wireless consumer devices. For the consumer, this accolade translates into convenient and intuitive connectivity between your DLNA Certified home electronics devices, personal computers, and your Nokia N95 8GB.
DLNA technology enables multi-vendor home ecosystems of consumer devices by building a common connectivity platform for a variety of multimedia experiences. This vision is fully in line with the Nokia's aspiration for openness and seamless interoperability between devices and services from different brands.
DLNA has certified the Nokia N95 8GB as a Mobile Digital Media Server, an acknowledgment that taps into the genius of this multimedia computer. The extensive connectivity and cutting-edge media capabilities of the Nokia N95 8GB are ideal for enjoying content, such as music, photos or videos, wirelessly on other devices in the home environment.
"We are thrilled to receive this tribute from the DLNA. The Nokia N95 8GB is truly a masterpiece of a multimedia computer, and a prime example of the direction mobility is taking - it's personal, powerful and fits seamlessly into your life inside and outside the home," said Anssi Vanjoki, executive vice president, Markets, Nokia.
DLNA has already certified over 1800 products in the personal computer and consumer electronic categories, but this is the first time the stringent guidelines for interoperability set by the DLNA have been met by a mobile phone. Mobile devices were included in the DLNA Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines that were published in early 2006, and are now part of the recently launched DLNA certification program. The Nokia N95 8GB passed DLNA's rigorous testing process to receive the green DLNA Certified logo, a marker of its leading position in the mobile domain of the digital home.
With up to eight gigabytes of built-in memory, the Nokia N95 8GB can hold a vast selection of your favorite media content, like those ski vacation photos and your music collection. You can share these with your friends and family on a DLNA Certified home entertainment system and enjoy your photos on a full-sized TV screen or jam to those tunes on your home stereo system. All you need to do is share the content wirelessly from your Nokia N95 8GB.
Nokia is an active member of the DLNA and has been driving interoperability of mobile, PC, and consumer electronics devices at and beyond home. As mobile phones have converted into diverse multimedia computers, they serve as the primary gateway to the Internet, services and content for millions of people around the world. Nokia is mobilizing home multimedia content and enabling remote access to home content using your Nokia mobile devices.

Nokia Urbanista Diaries
An excellent idea, this. Four intrepid bloggers sent round the world with a Nokia N82, recording their journey. Fantastic.
The whole project is a Nokia sponsored global relay race, where each contestant is placed 'somewhere in the world' and will encounter situations and challenges where they can use the N82 to document and share their experiences, as well as locate the next blogger to pass the baton/phone on to.
The four brave explorers taking part in this adventure are Devin Balentina from the Nokia Guide, Ryan Gallagher from CameraToss, Ms Jen from Black Phoebe and Jose R.A.M from MyNokiaBlog
There is a dedicated site here where you can follow their progress, plus I have installed a widget at top right of my blog where you can also keep track of the Urbanista's progress.
And finally, in conjunction with the Urbanista project, there is an opportunity to win an N82 every week for eight weeks starting from the 18th January.

An interview - with me!
One of the great things about running a blog is getting to know other bloggers who run similar sites along similar themes. A short while ago, Norman John from Symbian World asked if I would answer a few questions about myself and my interest in S60 in general, the answers to which he has posted on his blog. Check it out, here.

Back to Business
So, after a long Christmas and New Year break we're back to business. Coming up in a few weeks we have the 3GSM conference in Barcelona, which I am fortunate enough to be attending, and I'm hoping we'll have some NSeries handsets confirmed, like the N78 and N96 to go along with the leaked news of the new ESeries phones due.
Right now, I've got my hands full of phones. As well as the N82 which I continue to use every day, I have a Nokia N81 to play around with, thanks to the guys at Womworld, I have a Nokia E51 to look over supplied by Nokia and curiosly the other day I came across a Nokia 6600. Back in the day the 6600 was one of my favourite handsets. So I'll be looking to see how well the N81 does, looking at how a top ESeries phone compares to NSeries, and looking at how far we've progressed since the days of the 6600. Plenty to be getting on with. I've taken a few comparison photos of the N81, E51 and 6600, which you can see below.

Avvenu Available Again
I wrote back before Christmas how Nokia had purchased Avvenu, the program that lets you access your PC remotely. The downside to this was the service became suspended to all but those in the US There are alternative options for remote PC access, such as Orb but I've never liked the PC interface for Orb since they upgraded a while back, although the phone interface works well.
Good news, I received an email this morning the Avvenu service is available again. Click here for a list of countries where the service can be used. I'm expecting accessing the PC from my phone to be a lot easier in the coming months as Nokia develop the Avvenu service further.
I'm off now to upgrade the Avvenu software on my PC.
