Continuing the good work that our friends at Espoo have been doing over the last couple of weeks, they have now updated the Ovi store. Yeah we kept reading from them and elsewhere that Ovi store is all set to get a new revamp and boy, they did deliver on the promise.

If unsigned apps are your forte, then we have something for you which might make you jump from your couch or whatever you are seated on, reading this post of ours. The v40 firmware of our dearNokia 5800s is now hackable. Thanks to the PNHT team, for bringing the latest hack to the masses.
Chess Pro II as the name suggests is a Chess board game that you can play on your Nokia 5800. The game has a feature rich design with a customizable user interface. You can choose between a number of designs for your pieces. You can even change the screen layout and boards to different shades of color. If you are an expert player and understand the movement notations then you can change your view mode which allows you see the corresponding notations of all of your game moves. This game allows you to enjoy your play with the computer as well as your friends. You can switch on your Bluetooth and set the game to listen for new users in the preferences and play via Bluetooth with your friend. You can even play the game with your friend via SMS, you simply create a new human user and select it from your contacts.

You have a number of AI (Artificial Intelligence) users already created in the game with different proficiency levels (Expert/Intermediate/Beginner). Playing with the AI users is just amazing and you can spend hours playing this game. The very first game i played on my mobile i spent an hour because it is really addictive when you don't wanna lose and play till your very last piece is gone. Speaking about the stability of the game and resource consumption, it is designed for Nokia 5800 and runs smoothly and never gets your phone stuck.

To use the video calling service all that you need to do is just search for the Fring/Skype contact on Fring and choose Video Call from the calling options. The video call facility is available to 'Fring -> Skype' and 'Fring -> Fring' calls. I hope they bring out video calling over Yahoo, MSN and Gtalk also. So now you can video chat with your friends either from Fring or Skype on PC.

UC Browser is just another browser not really as good as the Opera Browser for the Nokia 5800 i reviewed in my last post. However, it has come long way since i last knew about it. It was buggy and unstable when i last used it. UC Browser 7 is an all new avatar of the last version i laid hands on. It is much more stable and refined, displays the webpages just like you see on your PC browser.
Browsing over this browser on Nokia 5800 was a fine experience. In terms of functionality, i would say it surpasses Opera. It has an inbuilt download manager which supports low speeds over the 2G network. The download manager allows you to save your download anywhere on the phone, something which is not available in Opera 10 Beta 2. It somehow restricts the download to the phone memory only.
We all know about Opera which happens to be the master of mobile internet browsing. I have reviewed the previous versions of Opera 4 and Opera 5 for Nokia 5800 which happened to be the J2ME versions. Opera 4 was a nice one but Opera 5 somehow was not stable on Nokia 5800. Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2 is a symbian version and works flawlessly on Nokia 5800. The entire layout and user interface which appears on Nokia 5800 gives a feel as if you are not browsing on Nokia 5800 and you are on an entirely different phone.



Yeah, Skyfire-the only other mobile browser (other than symbian and microB), capable of rendering flash content on mobile devices is now available for symbian fifth edition device, still in 1.5beta though. We have been waiting to get our hands on this browser from our 5800s since long and the dawn of 2010 has finally bought this amazing browser to our dear Tube 5800s.
The holiday season may be over but if you are still planning for some travel (work/leisure), we have something you might just need for the trip. Wondering what? Let’s say you are traveling to some exotic location, the local language of which is as alien to you as the humanoids on Pandora of James Cameroon’s Avatar, then you are in for luck as ABBYY have just released another one of their revolutionary OCR based apps for 5800s- ABBYY’ FotoTranslate.
ShareMySlides is an online live presentation service which is currently running in the Beta test phase as such it is offering free service at the moment. I found it really interesting in the sense that you can upload all your documents (Only PDF and Powerpoint currently) on their website and view it on your mobile without a supporting application. What i mean is that to view the power-point or pdf documents that you upload, you don't need a Adobe Acrobat or Quick Office application installed on your Nokia 5800 to view them. There is a ShareMySlides application that can be used to see these documents on your phone which is absolute free at this time.Read More »

You can create photo mugs, posters, collage pictures, etc and have them delivered at your doorstep via courier.

Yes, you heard it right, Nokia has offered free lifetime navigation on these compatible phone models - Nokia X6, Nokia N97 mini, E72, E55, E52, Nokia 6730 classic, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia 5230. Nokia 5800 now has a free turn by turn navigation with voice and visual guidance across 70 countries. Of-course, this has come late but Nokia has finally kept our faith in it. Iphone was launched with free navigation and Google Maps already had a free version for Nokia 5800. With strict competition with other brands offering free navigation, this is a bold move from Nokia.The new Nokia Ovi Maps with free navigation has an online mode toowhich allows you to get your location without downloading the maps on the go. It works somewhat like Google Maps. There is a bad news for all those Nokia 5800 owners who have still not updated to the firmware version 31.0.008 or higher. The new Ovi Maps is compatible only with the latest firmware v31.0.008 or higher.
I wish you a very happy navigational weekend. It is one more reason to get ASAP a car holder for Nokia 5800. Go and explore with the new free navigation service from Nokia. I know it must be hurting guys with Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition who paid more to get a lifetime navigation. To download visit the new Ovi Maps, visit http://nokia.mobi /maps on your phone's browser or click here to download directly on your PC.

I know i have been late at putting this up but the sole reason for this was to confirm the authenticity of this upgrade and test it myself. However, i have not been able to test it myself because the newfirmware is still not available on the Nokia servers for my region. I have it confirmed on the Nokia Update Finder that the upgrade does exist for my region and others too. Here is a list of all the products codes for Nokia 5800 which are eligible for this new upgrade.
This is a positive sign for all the Nokia 5800 users as this update has come after a very long time since the last one and proves that Nokia has not forgotten its first touch screen baby.

We just got the BREAKING NEWS we all were dying to hear since long. Yeah, the much awaited Firmware Update v40 finally lands at our Nokia 5800. The update brings with it Kinetic Scrolling and a New Home Screen similar to 5530’s.
Total Recall is amazing stuff and no we are not talking about that Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie of the early 90s but a killer app from none other than Killer Mobile. If you have had a symbian phone before, you would have probably heard or had this app on your phone for this is one of the most popular apps on symbian front.
When you read/hear Las Vegas, what’s the first thing that comes to your mind? Casinos and the bubbly nightlife right? Well, the same Vegas has been doing the rounds on the web but for a totally different reason this time around, courtesy Consumer Electronics Show or CES 2010 which recently concluded in the US abode of casinos and yeah Nokia did have a device or two up its sleeves but that’s not what we are gonna talk about here. We were more than amazed by this little preview of a promising game from Nokia- Bounce Boing Battle, which is a welcome addition to the gaming scenario on 5800s.


The Nokia DC-11 is charger for on the go that offers you the opportunity to charge up to two devices simultaneously. The Nokia DC-11 has a silver aluminum body which looks good indeed. However, you should take care of it as scratches come remarkable fast and leave their trace even faster. It weights 94grams and is with it’s dimensions (113×56×11 mm) really slim but still as high and width as a phone. Nonetheless it slips perfectly in a pocket and is so a handy companion.

Wikipedia or Wiki as it’s popularly known as, needs no introduction to any netizen spending a decent amount of time on the web these days. However the popular web encyclopedia has been overlooking the symbian eco-system when it comes to releasing a dedicated app for the platform.
