This is one of the most anticipated UIQ 3 application together with CorePlayer new version (which should be released next week, yay!). I mean, UIQ 3 has a built-in PIM /Calendar but somehow it is crippled  (no contact integration , for example) and it is about time UIQ 3 become a serious platform with more professional applications. Did I mention that this is brought to you by the same people who developed DreamConnect?Full press release follows… Read the rest of this entry »

In the second part of our review on the Nokia N81 8GB (read part 1 of the N81 8GB review here) we’re going to take a look at the camera and the camera application.

The N81 8GB is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera, a single LED flash. It does however lack autofocus which is a shame. The obvious question is can it deliver decent photos? That’s exactly what I thought so I shot these pictures using the Nokia N81 8GB (2mpx) and the Nokia N95 8GB (5mpx). You don’t need to be a genius to figure out the N95 8GB will come out as a winner, but it’s still interesting looking at the difference.

Here’s a cool video on the N-gage fighting game ‘One’ running a Nokia N81. ‘One’ will be released very soon.

And here’s a DVB-H demonstration (mobile TV) running on a Nokia N96.

Both videos were shot by James at Nokia Creative when attending Mobile World Congress.

Here are the latest poll results at SimplySymbian for the ‘Buying the Nokia N95 8GB?’ poll. There were a total of 265 voters and it seems most of them intended to buy the black beauty. I know I did and I’m very satisfied so far.

Absolutely!	55% (145 votes)
I’m thinking about it.	17% (46 votes)
I have not decided yet.	7% (19 votes)
I want the iPhone instead!	4% (11 votes)
Hell no!	17% (44 votes)

Next poll is ‘ Buying the Nokia N96?’. You can find the polls and vote in the right sidebar on this page.

This is another device announced pre-MWC this year. In a very awkward fashion if I could say. Because when the Press Release was made public, there are not a even single photo available but now, thanks to the folks at Engadget Mobile for their hands on photos of this E90-esque smartphone.On the outside, KT610 looks like a normal phone with a small screen but once opened, the 2.4″ QVGA screen (320 x 240) is crisp and should be familiar to those who have used S60 device before. The full QWERTY is also a nice looking addition with keys spaced comfortably between each other.
