SimplySymbian is looking for bloggers!
January 4, 2008
We’re glad to announce SimplySymbian has reached the point where we need to expand. Therefore we are now looking for co-bloggers with an unhealthy obsession with mobile phones, smartphones and everything in between. Our ideal blogger is someone who knows what’s hot, what’s new and what’s coming in the fast paced and ever changing mobile business.
The person we’re looking for loves to search the net and other channels for the latest news and submit about 5 posts per week. We’re of course interested in long term relationships and if our collaboration works well, after a trial period we’re ready to include a profit share as well as free and/or trial phones and trips to mobile events and tons of free mobile applications into the compensation scheme.
If this sounds interesting, please contact us via e-mail using jobs(at)simplysymbian.com. Include 2-3 sample posts you’ve written in the past and a description of yourself.
Updated firmware for Nokia N95 8GB, full YouTube and Flash lite 3.0
January 4, 2008
Nokia released a big firmware update for the Nokia N95 8GB. The firmware is numbered v15.0.015 and is available from Nokia Software Update for users with the EURO1 product code to begin with (availability depends on your product code, which depends on your region and operator branding). As usual, you’ll find instructions on how to change product code and make the update here OR you could just wait until the update reaches your region and/or brand.
Here’s a list of some changes:
- Speed! Everything works faster and smoother! Seems Nokia has improved how the phone handles the built-in flash memory.
- Booting is now about 20% faster.
- Lots of ‘old’ themes are now working.
- Gallery and Search are also faster as they’re kept in memory even after hitting ‘Exit’.
- Flash Lite 3.0 is now fully supported which means you can watch flash video content (such as YouTube, Google video or Dailymotion). Powerusers still would do better with emTube though.
- Web Run Time (WRT) has been added to support Nokia’s new Widget platform.
What else? Please share any changes that I’ve missed here.
