Nokia n82 blog

Now that my region’s Nokia N82 v20.0.062 update has been released, I’ve been very excited to try out the Web Runtime (WRT) Widgets. A lot of news has been generated on this new technology, with some claiming that it might even kickstart a new revolution for mobile phone services and applications. It’s all been writing and talk so far, so here’s a first take on Nokia WRT Widgets and the sort of potential it holds for the future.

First off, where can one get S60 WRT Widgets? Googling doesn’t really reveal much - it’s all news and information on WRT widgets, rather than the widgets themselves.

After updating to the new firmware on my Nokia N82, I think I can say that Flash Lite 3.0 is definitely not overrated or just a hype. It’s an awesome addition to the S60 v3 Feature Pack 1 platform, and it’s definitely one of those features where one stops to wonder ‘how did I live without it?’

First up is YouTube performance, which I think is the concern of most people. Well I’m happy to say that YouTube performance is definitely up there. When clicking on a video link, Realplayer automatically opens, and the video starts streaming - very nice feature. Playback is smooth but the quality of the videos are scaled down to fit the 320 x 240 resolution, and this means that overall the video is blurrier than its desktop counterpart. Well, to be honest, there isn’t anything to moan about - it’s a 2.4 inch screen, so such a high quality doesn’t help much except add to the file size of the video file.

The S60 Browser is almost perfect, except for one thing - not allowing the user to open new tabs even though the browser itself supports it. This is because in previous phones, the lack of RAM coupled with the opening of more than 1 tab could cause the browser to crash all the time.

Not that it’s a problem anymore on the N82. It’s got huge amounts of RAM (relative to other phones) with more than 80MB free even when web browsing, so I should be entitled to open as many tabs as I want, no?

Just to let everyone know that I’ve started on my final exams, and they’re due to finish on the 23rd of May. So that means fewer updates on the blog, and more studying. I won’t be answering emails during this period, but feel free to send me emails - I will reply once the exams are over. Updates will still continue, but in the form of scheduled updates, so you might see some news which could be considered ‘old’. I’ll think of something more original to put up in the meantime.
