At the S60 Summit last week, Rafe got some serious hands-on time with the Nokia E50, the very latest (and diminutive) S60 3rd Edition smartphone. What can it do and who's it aimed at?
The good news. As previously news posted, Nokia has licensed Golf Pro 2, Synergenix's next-generation golf game, for some of their 3rd Edition smartphones. The bad news. It's horribly flawed in its current incarnation. Read on to find out why.
Steve's been having a bit of a GPS week here on AAS and here presents his review of SmartphoneWare's Google Earth Companion. Its purpose is to track your journeys and produce native Google Earth files that can be overlaid on the latter's maps and photos.
..."Stop this, it's getting silly!" The normally reliable Darla reports that there's a 'new Symbian virus on the loose', quoting that 'Symantec announced today the presence of a new trojan attacking Symbian devices'. This is self-serving FUD gone mad. Read on...
Suddenly a lot of things that we've been watching over the last year or two have fallen into place in regards to Nokia's mobile gaming strategy. Why did Nokia persist with N-Gage for so long? Why did they spend so much money on their E3 stand? Ewan analyses their strategy and comes up with a compelling argument for N-Gage-compatible smartphones outselling PSPs and the like in the next 12 months.
Power users of S60 smartphones look away now. The rest of you, here's my tutorial on getting started and productive with Nokia's S60 predictive text system. If you're already a T9 wiz then why not print it out for your partner, colleague or mum, or anyone else still clutching on to multi-tap input and afraid to take the leap?
Interesting post over at Engadget Mobile with loads of pictures of upcoming smartphones running N-Gage games, along with the glamour of Nokia's huge booth at the E3 games event.
Nokia's PC Suite's come a long way from its humble PsiWin and EPOC Connect ancestry. But come on, installing connectivity software's supposed to be really, really tricky, isn't it? Surely half the fun of PDAs and smartphones is spending hours despairing with your head in your hands?
Following last week's 48 hour poll to take a snapshot of the Symbian-powered smartphones you're currently using and your plans for the future, Steve Litchfield picks through the stats and draws out a few surprises.
The inclusion of an N-Gage hot title in the N93's ROM didn't escape Ewan's beady eye. In this editorial he argues that with the N70 and N93 each containing an N-Gage game, Nokia's next generation gaming platform is well and truly 'in beta'.
Following on from our first looks at the N72 and N93 Rafe previews the Nokia N73 the new all around multimedia Nseries S60 phone from Nokia. He concludes that as a modestly sized phone with a 3.2 megapixel camera, advanced music capabilities and backed by S60 3rd Edition it is a worthy sucessor to the Nokia N70.
