Just a note to remind everyone of our Support knowledge base. This was set up earlier this year as a replacement for the old FAQs and contains hundreds of common (and not so common) questions and answers for devices from all Symbian platforms. Here's the Support front page. If anyone would like to help me maintain/add to this, let me know!
Ewan's been a fan of Wi-Fi on a mobile device for some time and he's been musing on just what makes Wi-Fi so darned useful. Especially so on the Nokia E61, E70, N91 and N93, which he uses in his three example uses.
Neuros very kindly sent over a sample of their MPEG-4 Recorder 2 set-top units, and I've been putting it through its paces. Essentially it's a tiny gadget designed to record video directly onto your smartphone's expansion card, for playback on the move. Here's the full review.
Time to get the diaries ready, as the All About Symbian Pub Meet time and date are confirmed. It's the same venue as last year (The Cross Keys Weatehrspoon in the City of London), and as always, it takes place on the Monday night before the Smartphone Show, so that'll be the 16th. We'll be there from 6.30pm, and the programmed events start at 8. More details here .
Techmundo's E61 shortcuts page seems to have grown nicely and is well worth perusing; and note that almost all the shortcuts actually work on all other S60 3rd Edition devices.
Rafe demonstrates in illustrated detail how to use Nokia's new Phone Software Update tool to upgrade your S60 smartphone with the very latest firmware version.
One week on, mid-August, and we've found plenty to keep you interested and challenged. Here's the AllAboutSymbian Week in Review, if you're in a hurry to catch up...
In case you hadn't noticed, there are new items appearing in our Support database all the time, with answers to many common queries. New today: "Can I speed dial my Contacts?"
With the arrival of the Nokia E70 and N93, it's been a busy week at AAS towers.... The first part of our N93 review should be live on Monday, but until then here's what you missed if you fell asleep in the sun for the last seven days...
As always, here's the AllAboutSymbian Week in Review. It's been an exciting one in many ways, with the arrival for review of the E70 and N93, both of which should be featured heavily next week. In the meantime, here's what you've missed if you haven't been paying attention over the last 7 or so days....
Just a short note for UK residents that PDA Essentials magazine, for which I write most of the Symbian OS content, has had a major face lift (starting at issue 51, which is out today) and now has Symbian as a more or less equal platform (with Palm OS and Windows Mobile) at last. Issue 51 has a 'Focus on S60' intro piece, maybe worth pointing friends and colleagues at the magazine in WH Smiths?
