Pizero’s High Quality S60 Themes - February 28, 2009

If the themes that you’re using are starting to look a bit dull, sure you can hit Google and do some searching for new themes, but chances are that you’ll end up installing a bunch and deciding that they were, at best, of mediocre quality.

Compare it with a theme like this (only an example):

Picasa Web Albums goes S60 Friendly - February 26, 2009

Every week more or less goes by with at least one article on major tech websites saying “so-and-so” service or blog has gone iPhone friendly, but how often do you hear that for the Symbian S60 platform. It’s rather ironic as the S60 remains as the leader in terms of the smart phone marketshare worldwide, but the iPhone gets all the attention and support for web services and applications (simply think Meebo, Facebook, Google Talk, and countless other services that I don’t need to name).

Nokia Email to rival Blackberry’s Push Email - February 24, 2009

So just last week Nokia released their own service, aptly named Nokia Email after deciding to pull the Blackberry Connect from their newly released E-series (Business Series) phones.

The new service allows for Push Email, supporting both the POP and IMAP protocols, whilst retaining the old SMS/Text messages look that you find in your inbox. It’s currently in beta right now (probably why it’s free), but you can surely expect to pay a price for it in the future.

Opera Mobile 9.5 for S60 Preview - February 23, 2009


Nope, I don’t happen to own a Windows Mobile smart phone to do a review of this, but CNET’s already got a video review of the highly anticipated Opera Mobile 9.5 Beta 1. While it’s still a WM exclusive app, we can all expect something similar in the coming weeks when the Symbian S60 version will be released.

Nokia to offer pilot scheme, restricting beta apps release - February 20, 2009

Yep, you read right. Nokia is offering a brand new pilot scheme for interested users who wish to participate in product development - basically put, it means that if you want to try all of Nokia’s latest beta software and stuff like that, you’ve got to sign up to be a participant, as it won’t be released for public downloading. The difference to Beta Labs is quite clear cut. Beta Labs can share applications, content and services for trial usage to thousands and hundreds of thousands of users in an open platform. Nokia Pilots program is in contrast allowing Nokia’s different development teams, who’s work is still classified and in many cases not made public, to share their ideas with Nokia Pilots. Having said that, there is a need to restrict the access to this type of material and content. Thus, we require in some cases non-disclosure agreements (NDA’s) with Nokia Pilots.What makes it worse is that even if I join, I probably won’t be allowed to talk about it on the blog. A real shame - I know many readers are very curious about the latest apps and developments on their smart phones and N82s to see how they can make the most out of their device.
