I just returned from a short business trip to Singapore and knew before I went out there that it might be trouble for my credit card because Singapore is known for their electronics stores and malls dedicated to electronics. After a couple days of work, it turned out my trip was shortened so I tried...

The Nokia S60 Nseries and Eseries devices are incredible mobile devices, but the email client is very basic and has a rather plain look and feel to it (aka BlackBerry look). The default Messaging client does a poor job with hyperlinks, doesn't display my messages forwarded from other services, and...

The Nokia N78 is the successor to the very popular Nokia N73 with significant improvements, including WiFi, GPS receiver, S60 Feature Pack 2, and...

It was only a month ago that I mentioned the release of Opera Mini 4.1 beta and today I received the announcement that the full release of Opera Mini 4.1 is now available to download and install for free. It is so good that it has now earned a place as the right soft key on all of my Nokia S60 devices...

While the Nseries products are very impressive multi-media computers, the latest Nokia device that really caught my attention at the Mobile World Congress event was the Nokia 6210 Navigator. The saddest part of my various experiences with the device is that we may never see it available here in the U...

While Nokia made a few device announcements, they also announced a few upgraded and new service offerings. One that I plan to load very soon on my S60 Nseries devices is the upgraded Nokia Maps 2.0. One of the primary features that I personally cannot wait to try out and that I was happy to see is the...

A couple of the new applications you can download and install are Earthcomber and Sling Player Mobile for S60. I went into depth and showed a video of Sling Player Mobile on S60 devices and if you purchased...
