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?
Here is the AAS Week in Review. Recognising that it's easy to miss a few days and fall behind with what's new on All About Symbian, we do a weekly round-up of new content and news on the site in the last 7 or so days. If you're really pushed for time, this is the weekly list of articles and links to check out.
Steve's been exploring a way of saving up to half a megabyte of RAM and making yourself more productive at the same time, with a simple choice of S60 theme. As ever, comments welcome on the themes you find most helpful!
I must have fallen asleep in the S60 world somewhere around the introduction of the Nokia 6630, as it seems S60 2nd Edition FP2 onwards contains a nifty way of backing up all contacts to vCard format (and an extra to mass copy them from one device to another). Well, it was news to me! See S60Tips.com for the details. Nice one, Antony.
Despite our review from a couple of days ago, you don't need a separate application to keep track of World Cup events online - in this overview, Ewan describes the links to use to get the same information within your browser for an even lower cost in terms of GPRS data.
This week All About Symbian is proud to host the Carnival of the Mobilists. The Carnival gathers writing on mobile from around the web and is guaranteed to find you interesting opinions and new sites to add to your daily reading list.
For all those wondering what's happened to Sony Ericsson's UIQ 3 smartphones, note that the M600i has been spotted in the wild (even been sold on eBay this morning, it went for £820!!!) and is shipping in many markets in the next month. Clever money on the P990i says August and on the W950i says September. Comments (and other sightings) welcome!
