NOKIA 5800 EXPRESS MUSIC

Nokia is all set to launch globally, the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition this quarter. The latest edition will have the Ovi Maps application pre-installed. Ovi Maps has a lot of new features to offer to the Nokia users. Ovi Maps come with high-resolution aerial images, 3D landmarks for over 200 cities, terrain maps, weather service, premium travel and events content and traffic and safety warnings. It is supported by Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities.

The Navigation Edition of Nokia 5800 will offer a Lifetime Voice-guided DRIVE and WALK Navigation Licenses. This is something that i think the Nokia 5800 missed the most over its competitors. When i bought Nokia 5800 (India), it came with a 3 months free navigation after which it required a monthly subscription with charges double my current data plan. At the same time, Iphone came with a lifetime navigation license. As an alternative i am currently using Google Maps which i find much much better than Nokia Maps.

With the release of the new Nokia 5800, we will have better navigation capabilities mainly because of the revamped Nokia Maps application. There are no reports of any hardware upgrades in the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, thus i think we may have the improved capabilities for our devices via FOTA.

Nokia is all set to provide its customers with a versatile device that has excellent multimedia capabilities with excellent Navigation capabilities as well. The new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition sales package includes, car charger and easily mountable Nokia car kit apart from from the regular in-box accessories. So it may replace your need for an extra GPS navigation system when you are driving. Now, Nokia 5800 is all set to be your friend all the time and everywhere.

The estimated cost the new Nokia 5800 is around 285 Euros plus taxes. If we consider not buying an extra GPS unit for driving purposes, this cost is reasonable in my view. However, this is just an estimation so nothing can be said at this moment. Let's wait for the official release this quarter.

Please post your views and comments and expectations from the new Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition.

Windows 7 desktop on your Nokia

With the world awaiting the release of Microsoft Windows 7, MMMOOO has just released their newest interface product for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone – Win 7. They have already the application being sold but they have not offered to anyone the trial for the Win7. We got you first on the web that has the chance to try the Win7 application for free. This is just a trial, not a full envyronment of the applicattion. You can find more just going here.

From the makers of the MyPhone application, Win 7 is the newest application from MMMOOO that brings the graphical user interface of the Windows 7 platform to the Nokia 5800. This application will be your application launcher for the different default software installed in your phone. Let's have a look at the Full Version reviewed by me.

From the back of notebooks in schools to the childhood memories of yesteryears, a classic and addicting game comes to the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Phone. The Tic-Tac-Toe game from OffScreen gives us a new twist to this classic game. But first, let’s talk about the basics.

How many players?

Upon launching the application, you will be shown four buttons: two small buttons at the top corners and two big buttons in the middle. The “I” button basically displays the “About Us” window that tells us the name of the application and the creators (OffScreen). The “X” button closes the application. I suggest you don’t touch that unless you really want to leave.

Its the Weekend and we thought about covering a nice little game to beat the stress and look what we landed upon-BlockGO, an addictive brainteaser from Frienzplay.

The game which bears striking resemblance to the game of Bulldozer of the yesteryears is an excellent adaption of a classic brain teaser on a touch screen platform. We were so impressed by the design and implementation of this game that we just couldn’t have enough of this game on our 5800s. Screenshots and more BlockGO related tidbits after the break.

While the v30 firmware update has left us with a mixed bags of feelings, we landed upon a bunch of app updates for followers of our blog. Some of the most popular 5800 apps to have been updated recently include: Adobe Flash Lite, Youtube Client (for s60 v3 and s60v5) and Google Maps (for s60v3 and s60v5).

All the three are minor updates with no official changelog released from the developers as such. We are still getting a hang of the latest versions of these apps but in this limited time, the apps seem to crash less frequently (esp the YouTube client). Screenshots and more info after the break.

Remember those long hours you whisked away engrossed in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with your best buddy? The game as such may sound silly but has very high entertainment quotient. Even to this day we can’t help but pull out a paper and start playing this classic game whenever we are stuck in a boring lecture or a sleep inducing seminar. We were so delighted when we saw this classic pencil-and-paper game on the ovi store that we didn’t waste any time and straightaway downloaded the application.

Tic-Tac-Toe Touch is another masterpiece from Offscreen Technologies of whom we have been covering an awful lot in the recent times. While we were not very much impressed by their Labyrinth Lite, we can say that the developers are back on track with their latest game-Tic Tac Toe Touch. Read more »
