Bought a Nokia 5800? Planning to buy one soon? Before you do anything, read All About Symbian's guide to your first steps with the phone. We've written this article with ordinary people in mind and tried to keep jargon to a minimum, but hopefully even advanced phone users should find something useful in it.
The sad state of Download! has been a topic of discussion in Symbian S60 circles for quite some time.

After All About Symbian's recent look at using S60 with Macintosh computers, we now start a new series of articles looking at using S60 with Linux-based computers. First off is a how-to guide on connecting the Linux-based EEE PC to the internet using an S60 phone as a modem.
Nokia currently has three platforms in development simultaneously, for their smartphones, normal phones and internet tablets. All of them have their good points and bad points, but in this feature we take a look at how S60 could learn from its two sister-platforms.
The Nokia 5320 XpressMusic has finally gone on sale, and we've got hold of one of the first retail units. This is the actual phone as it is now in the shops. The review should be coming soon, but hopefully this will keep those interested happy until then.
