Meet members of the Mozilla mobile team as they give you a quick tour of the user interface, features and vision of Firefox for mobile. It is about time that we see a client for symbian phones as well. Although the new Opera Mobile Browser does the job pretty well and is way friendly in the S60v5 devices but nevertheless it would be great to see a fully functional Firefox Browser soon. Catch the video below for more:

Do you love frogs? Nevermind even if you despise them for this fun little game- Froga will change you perception of frogs, and if not that it will atleast entertain you with its puzzles.
Frogs and puzzles? And don’t the leaves look like Pac-Man? Yeah you are right with both the observations, for the first: the puzzles are more like block-2-go or Bulldozer and for that uncanny resemblance to Pac-Man of the leaves, we have no answer. May be we should knock at the doors of interActive (developers of Froga) for an answer, or may be Namco (developers of Pac-man) will! Let’s not bother about copyright infringements here and dwell straight away in to Froga, after the break though. Read more »

CAUTION: Before you read further, please make a back up of your device and make sure you understand that you are doing this at your own risk. We will not be held liable for any type of loss that may occur during the reset process. 1. *#7780# – Restore factory settings – resets all the settings to the default. Make sure you back up your data. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345. 2.*#7370# – Reformat your phone (out of the box, though keep in mind that most new nokia phones at least Nseries, Eseries and s60 based phones have UDP – user data preservation, so not ALL data may be lost. Still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.) This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working. If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. 3. Hard reset – hold the following buttons * (star key), 3 (number button) and talk/green key for s60v3 based devices. Turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. Once you feel the phone power up you can let go off only the power button while still holding all three buttons. For Nokia 5800XM – use the following buttons to do a hard reset, /Green/Red/Camera keys pressed all at once on power up. This will only work on 5800’s that have firmware version 20. and up. For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is Backspace/SpaceBar / Backspace while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen. If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance. source:s60blog.com
It’s been a while since we heard from SPB Software, who are like one of the most popular app developers for Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms. Just when we thought their Symbian division had gone dormant, they released their new app- SPB Weather.
Weather forecasts, why would you need weather forecasts on your mobile phone? If you are asking the above question, let me tell you that this info comes in very handy especially if you happen to be someone who travels a lot on work. You don’t want to be wearing the wrong gear as you step out of your home, only to realise how horribly inappropriate your choice was on reaching the destination. Ok, we need weather forecast, but how good is SPB Weather at sourcing this info right into our 5800s? Let’s find out. Read more »

Famous for their applications on the Windows Mobile platform, Resco have been pretty active across other platforms as well. One of such applications on the symbian platform is Resco Photoviewer which was first launched way back in 2007, the golden years of Nokia’s dominance in the smartphone segment with the unparalleled success of Nokia N95.

Dad’s Cab and Ovi Maps synchronisation and we say parenting is fun with this app. Sounds pretty much confusing for a 5800 game, right? You must be wondering, “what does this game do after all?” Well for the starters its a game/app for Dad’s who often ferry their kids to school in their cars and it makes the drive all the more entertaining with Dads acting as cab drivers and charging the kids for the ferry service. Ofcourse, the kids cannot pay in cash but they can pay via certain good deeds. Sounds interesting, right?
