I must admit, I do like Nokia Maps, I have really got used to having some navigation software on my phone. If i’m ever lost, either in the car, or walking I know I can fire up Nokia Maps and I’ll be alright. Don’t get me wrong I love Google Maps too, but I love the turn by turn navigation that Nokia Maps gives me, the thing is Nokia Maps isn’t perfect. Not at all, the routing is fairly good to it’s credit, but I find it a bit ‘naggy’ – it’s telling me to do stuff when I don’t need to know. It can be prone to crashing, searching on it can be very hit and miss, the UI is appalling and annoyingly on the 5800 – there is no landscape mode and the ‘touch’ aspect is decidedly lacking.
I’ve spent some time with a new piece of navigation software that is available on S60 3rd and 5th Edition (also Windows Mobile), called NavMii, and i’ve been pleasantly surprised.
NavMii is Sat Nav software that has a ‘GeoFriend’ capability, meaning you can send your friend your location and their NavMii will navigate them, or vice versa. Obviously this is fairly dependant on your friends having NavMii installed. But an interesting touch never-the-less.
NavMii is available for £45.99 and this entitles you to the software, support and one years worth of updates to the software. A years licence for Nokia Maps (at time of writing) is around £52.00, so it’s cheaper than Nokia Maps, but is it better than Nokia Maps?
The short answer is yes, and i’ll explain why

In February 2009 Nokia announced the Ovi Store, kind of Nokia’s answer to Apple, Android and Blackberry. Back than the release date was May and indeed, the Ovi store made its way to our handsets.Yet, it has been launched in Germany, UK, Australia, Singapore and Ireland and works on the 5800 XpressMusic, E75 as well as on the N95. However, it is reaching more and more countries and devices in the next days. In order to download the Ovi store just refresh the ‘Download!’ application on your S60 device and download Ovi Store. From now on you can download applications, games, themes, sounds, videos and more.

Yeah, finally Nokia’s OVI store is now LIVE in Australia, Ireland, Singapore and Spain with phased launches in other parts of the globe. Who knows, by the time you read this post, OVI store may be up and running in your very own country. Till then, roll back and enjoy this exclusive review of OVI store on Nokia 5800.
Alarmed by the success of Apple’s App store which boasts of more than a billion application downloads in less than a year, every major smartphone company is coming up with their own App stores. RIM’s APPworld and Android’s Android Market have been roaring ever since their launches early this year. Not to be left far behind, Nokia had promised its customers its very own App store with over 20,000 items in the store on its inaugural launch. Well, Nokia has stood by its word with its launch of Ovi store today, while there is no feasible way to check with its 20,000 items (items and not applications!) claim, lets just take their word on that for the time being.

Throw a mobile device with a 3.2″ screen at 360 x 640 resolution at developers and its only natural that they come up with ebooks and ereaders for the device. Its been like 18 months since Kindle was first released in US market and the market for portable electronic readers has been gaining grounds ever since then. If you ask me, I will not bother shelling out upwards of USD 300 on ebook reader alone and would love to have an application which can bring ebook reader capabilities to my mobile phone. Fortunately for me, many developers have been working on this concept and I stumbled upon this amazing reader from Offscreen Technologies.

Google translator needs no introduction and is one of the most widely used applications on internet today. I am sure am speaking for most of the geek community here, when I say that at many a times, I land on a site in foreign language, with no links for an English version. Most of the times, you badly need the information and need it fast. That’s where google translator pitches in, I get the required info from the website in a matter of seconds. Now you don’t have to switch on a PC for your quick translation needs, for google team has come up with a google translator widget for our beloved 5800s.

Adobe Flasth Lite 3.1 is now available on Nokia 5800 (well, its been like 15 hrs since it first surfaced on internet). Prior to this, Adobe Flash updates were incorporated into firmware upgrades. This time, Adobe has decided to make this update available as an independent download. To update flash lite on your 5800, go to menu-> applications-> app. update.
App. update first appeared on Nokia 5800 in firmware v20, so you need to update your firmware, if you are running on v20 or earlier. The application update checks for updates on all the installed applications and hence very convenient to update all your applications at just one go. Its something like Windows update on your desktop and is much better than windows for this update application checks for available updates for all the installed applications. As can be seen in the screenshots to the left, there were two updates available for installed applications on my phone. It took me less than a minute to update and install both the updates over wi-fi.
