Nokia n82 blog

Since the announcement of the accelerometer on the N95 and the games that appeared to take advantage of the iPhone’s accelerometer, I’ve decided to compile a list of games that works on the Nokia N82 and utilises the built-in accelerometer so more of us can be aware of the N82’s full potential. Granted, not all games are free, and not all are problem-free; but here’s just a preliminary list:
Marble Maze is a labyrinth game that includes over 40 different labyrinths to solve. 3 difficulty levels are present in the game, by the means of using 3 different ‘types’ of balls to solve the labyrinths.

If you’ve been a long time user of Nokia phones, then you might know what Active Standby plugins are. Currently an exclusive feature to the Nokia E-Series S60 phones, it’s basically an option within the Control Panel to allow to user to control what they want to see on the Active Standby screen.

For example, if you’re using an E-Series phone, you could opt to disable showing your To-Do list, or your WLAN scanning in the Active Standby Screen if you don’t find a use for those features. Any aspect of the Active Standby screen can be changed to your personal taste and preferences.

Seems like there are quite a few misconceptions these days about the various GPS options one gets on the Nokia N82 or the Nokia N95, so I’ve asked a Nokia rep at their Customer Care Center to clarify the different GPS options that’s available on the phone.

You can go to Tools >> Settings >> General >> Positioning >> Positioning Methods to either enable or disable the different GPS methods the N82 supports.

Bluetooth GPS: This should be pretty much straightforward; if you set it to enabled, it allows for a Bluetooth GPS receiver to be paired with the Nokia N82. Instead of using the phone’s integrated GPS chip, it’ll be using the Bluetooth GPS to get a fix on your current location.

The Nokia N78’s newest firmware has just been released - however, what’s unique about this firmware update is that it’s the first update offered by Nokia that can be done over-the-air; rather than requiring you to go to your PC and open up Nokia PC Suite to update, it can now be done if you can access the Internet (via WLAN/3G/EDGE/GPRS).

If the Nokia N78 was released at just about the same time as the N82 was, I’d have a hard time in choosing which Symbian smartphone to get. Here’s just some pros and cons of both phones for those who are considering getting one or the other:

After several weeks to months of use of your brand new N82, you might be finding that accessing your memory stick is no longer as fast as it used to be when you just got your phone. If you regularly take photos, transfer videos and music on and off your phone, this is a particularly frustrating issue.

A solution to the issue would be to defragment the external memory of which you store all these files every few weeks to a few months, depending on how often you delete and replace files on the memory stick. Defragmentation sorts the data on the external memory in to a sequential order, thus improving read performance of the external memory as data is now grouped together in chunks.

Recently a video of Google’s OS Android running on the Nokia N95 has surfaced; would this mean that it’s also possible to get Android running on other Symbian smartphones?

With the iPhone’s release, more and more people are now aware of how a ‘good’ interface could be on the mobile phone. The Symbian S60 platform is extremely versatile and powerful; but if you asked any average user, they wouldn’t be able to customise or change things as much as they wanted to as the options are nested deep within the different menus.
