Nokia 5800 App Review: Chess Pro II – Fire your brains

Posted by Isaac Wong 0 comments

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.

Nokia 5800 App Review: Latest Fring – Now with video call

Posted by Isaac Wong Tuesday, February 2, 2010 0 comments

Fring is a mobile chat client which i believe everyone of us are aware of. We know about the capabilities that Fring adds to your mobile phone when it comes to communicating over a number of IM services. We can interact on Gtalk, Skype, Yahoo, Aim, MSN, ICQ, Twitter and Facebook with Fring using WiFi or the data connection. The latest version of Fring brings Video Calling over Fring/Skype which is amazing and Fring claims itself to be the only such application providing such a service.

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.

Nokia 5800 App Review – UCBrowser 7 – a new look and feel added with extra functionalities

Posted by Isaac Wong 0 comments

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.

Nokia 5800 App Review: Opera Mobile 10 Beta 2 – Symbian Version

Posted by Isaac Wong 0 comments

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.

So, what’s the thing with this Skyfire which made this browser win the “People’s Voice Best Mobile Application” in the 2009 Webby Awards? Well, we have already spilled the beans on this one-flash support and couple that with “blazing fast” browsing speeds and you have one gem of a browser for your mobile phones. Ok, so if it’s that good how does it fare on our 5800s? Hit the read button to find out. Read more »

Nokia 5800 App Review: ShareMySlides – Open and view pdf/powerpoint documents for free

Posted by Isaac Wong 0 comments

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.

Nokia 5800 Breaking News: Navigation on your phone is free for lifetime

Posted by Isaac Wong 0 comments

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.

Not just the navigation, all the related features are free too, like free weather updates, free lonely planet and michelin guides. 2010 is all set to witness a new business strategy from Nokia. I would say that the latest firmware update and now free navigation are nice gifts for all the Nokia 5800 fans.
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.
