Formally known as Nokia Maps, Ovi Maps 3.0 has graduated from Nokia Beta Labs and is now officially available to download, for any compatible handset, from Nokia.com/maps. Nokia maps originally began pretty simple, with other applications offering a better experience without the need of a PC. Ovi Maps still requires you to have a PC in order to load maps (Mac support coming soon). Read the rest of this entry »

MyPhone v2.2 Menu Screen

We were the first source on the web, to bring you a sneak preview of Android emulator, M1 and now we are again the first source to give our readers a sneak of the latest version of: you guessed it right, MyPhone-Infinite. We are making a habit of being the first with anything that’s related to 5800. As much as we love our 5800s, we love to bring the latest news and reviews, along with some free licenses to give away to our fellow 5800 users.

If MyPhone v2.11 was impressive, MyPhone v2.2 will blow your mind away! I am not exaggerating what so ever when I say this but the latest version is indeed a(n) (iPhone) killer application.

Our developer friends at MMMOOO never take a break, do they? After launching the Android emulator-M1 last month, they have now revamped the most happening application on 5800. With their latest version of MyPhone, MMMOOO has responded to some requests from users of earlier versions of MyPhone and added a few innovative features of their own. The result: an awesome emulator that will make your non 5800/n97 friends go gaga over you. With MyPhone v2.2, not only will you have the mighty symbian as your OS but also a working interface of the most happening phone a.k.a over hyped phone of the world: iPhone.

Whats new in v2.2? Well, the official change-log should be up at the MMMOOO website when its released in a few days. However, some of the changes that are worth mentioning are:

1. Faster and more responsive performance
2. Languages supported: Chinese and English (German and French to be added soon)
3. All new icon set with no need for manual configuration of default symbian applications (This is the best feature in my view)
4. iPhone like SMS interface (Users asked for it and MMMOOO delivered it!!)

Do take a look at the gallery below for some screenshots highlighting the new features.

5800 to get Firmware Update Soon?

Blogosphere is effervescent with rumours of 5800 getting a firmware update to v31.0.0.15. While there has been no official news or comments from Nokia on this topic, bloggers across the globe have been speculating v31.0.0.15 from the video of Ovi suite 2.0, posted over at Nokia Conversations. (Check the video after the break)

It all started with Vikas from Fone Arena who was quick to spot the v31.0.0.15 firmware being shown during the video at 0:57 minutes. However the screenshot also shows the present version of firmware as v15.0.0.15, which never made it to the NSU public servers or FOTA. So whether v31.0.015 will ever make it our 5800s is something only time can tell. So please do take this news or should I say rumour with a pinch of salt!

Nokia 5800 Game Review: Spb Puzzle v1.00(0)

Welcome screen

Remember those jigsaw puzzles and hours of engrossing game play, putting the pieces together? Jigsaw puzzles were one of my favorite puzzles during those lazy afternoons of summer vacation. Well, now you dont have to head to the nearest store to get your hands on a jigsaw puzzle. Your 5800 is all you need to enjoy this game in your spare time. Spb Puzzle by Spb Software is an excellent game, bringing jigsaw puzzles to our beloved 5800s.

Installation

Spb Puzzle is a paid game costing US $ 9.95 and can be either be downloaded from ovi store or from the official website of Spb Softwares. The setup file, at 7.1 MB is one of the biggest set up files I have seen so far for any application/game on s60 5th edition device. Download from the official website is surprisingly fast, making me double check if the file is really 7 MB large. Spb Software seems to have reserved sufficient bandwidth for game downloads and rightly so, I still remember the sorry state of Ovi client when it was first launched this May. I already have a good feeling about this game! I hope more application/game developers learn from this and reserve sufficient bandwidth for their download pages.
