According to a report on Pocket Gamer, the mysterious Project White Rock for the Next Generation N-Gage platform will be a cross-platform game playable on both the PC and selected Nokia S60 3rd Edition smartphones. Pocket Gamer goes on to say the title has "over a thousand lines of recorded dialogue" but is not an RPG.
Yup, it's a first cut at a Top Tips page for the Nokia E90 Communicator, comments and additional tips welcome, now that the device is starting to creep out into the real world!
It seems Nokia is starting to roll out Mail4Exchange for its Nseries devices now, with the system appearing within Download! on the N95, according to Symbian Freak. Nothing shows up on my N93 yet, and of course non-corporate users won't be interested anyway, Exchange being a business thing....
Using GMail in a web browser has always been a bit clumsy. Ewan's taken a shine to Google's dedicated Java-based GMail client on his Nokia N95. OK, so Java's slow to load and clumsy, but Google's mini app is well designed and has some lovely touches.
After numerous (ok, four) emails, and looking ahead to Proporta's up and coming holster for the Nokia E90, below the break you'll find some exclusive photos. The case will be available in a week or so, I believe.
Following up his high profile piece on Psion, midweek over at The Register, Ewan caught up with long time Technology correspondent Andrew Orlowski in a London bar to talk about the article, and to go into a bit more depth on the topics raised. Ewan also wanted to find out what Andrew thought this meant for Symbian and the current smartphone market. And how could today not be complete with touching on the launch of the Apple iPhone in the USA? All this in AAS podcast number 27.
How could the latest Smartphones Show not include relevancy to the iPhone and try to get in first? - this is 'iDay' after all(!) So, with a truck load of Symbian news, a one minute(!) review of the Apple iPhone and a feature on things existing S60 users can learn from the iPhone's simplicity. Smartphones Show 36 is here in MP4 format, here on YouTube.
Kudos to well respected S60 tipster Antony Pranata for going the extra mile and trying out all the various Voice over IP solutions for smartphones, comparing EQO, Fring, Gizmo, iSkoot and Truphone, with Fring and Truphone seeming to come out winners, depending on your requirements. Also of note is that Truphone's new v3.0 is now available in a full beta.
Nokia have launched a mobile photo printing service for Europe for its Nseries phones. The Nokia XpressPrint service is a downloadable add-on for the Gallery application. Photos are uploaded to an online printing service and delivered by post. Prices and availability vary by country; in the UK prints cost 10p and in addition to a different print sizes a number of other products (mugs, t-shirts and bears) are also available.
The fourth edition of the Greenpeace Guide to Greener Electronics is out now, with Nokia regaining top place as a result of phasing out PVC and meeting or exceeding a wide set of Greenpeace benchmarks, designed to reduce the amount and toxicity of electronic waste piling up in Asia and Africa.
Krisse unboxes the Nokia 6120 Classic - at 66cc, it's probably the most compact smartphone in the world! There'll be a full review to follow at some point soon. If you have any questions, please post them in the comments section.
Steve looks at the technology behind assisted GPS (A-GPS) and describes how it can be used to speed up lock on times before asking what potential benefits there are for a smartphone that always knows where it is.
With photos and review comments on a cradle and four cases, Steve has been pimping the Nokia E61i. Just how much should you pamper your smartphone? Of the four cases, and not for the first time in a roundup, the cheapest accessory won out!
