February 22, 2010
Beware our fellow readers; pdasnews.com has got for you the first exclusive review of Trigna from CrazySoft folks. Lets start from the beginning: What the heck Trigna means? The developers say this comes from the Greek word Trigona (yes without the o) which in the first place means triangles. I can verify that this is the case in this game, its all about triangles. Click here to read the full review.
Our verdict:
Congratulations to the CrazySoft team for a fantastic original game. I cant be mistaken because I am stuck on my phone since I started playing and I cant help it! I believe we have something great here guys; maybe a trigna mania is rising
Microsoft’s own Windows Phone 7 device will be made by Asus?
February 22, 2010
“Windows Mobile is reborn. We all met the new Windows Phone 7 and by the end of the year we’ll meet the first smartphones based on it. Reportedly, Microsoft will launch their own phone in early 2011 as well. And it will be made by Asus. With the Windows Phone 7 Microsoft didn’t start a new chapter in WinMo’s history. They started it over. We’ll see if it’s for the better or for worse. According to the Northeast Securities analyst Ashok Kumar, there is more to see from the company. A Microsoft branded mobile phone. Currently, it’s in the works and is expected to be ready for its premiere sometime at the beginning of the next year. Microsoft’s own Windows Phone 7 smartphone will be a touchscreen-equipped bar made by Asus. None of the companies have neither confirmed nor denied that so far.” via gsmarena.com
Trigna mind game just released for all mobile phones!
February 20, 2010
“Trigna is the latest trend in puzzle gaming. CrazySoft team is back, with a completely new, addicting and clever mind game. The Tile ‘Trigna’ derives from the Greek word ‘Trigona’ which means ‘triangles’, and this is what the game is about: making triangles…
Gameplay
The objective of the game is to make triangles. Make triangles by clicking three marks of the same color. You only have some seconds until each round is over. Check the time meter. Try to make as many different triangles as possible in each round. Try all possible combinations you can think of. But remember: You cannot use marks of different colors and you cannot make the same triangle twice. Also don’t choose marks that are in a straight line.” Check this GREAT game here:
The Fairest Fight Samsung i8910 HD vs Google Nexus One vs Nokia N97
February 19, 2010
“In the battle of top end, large-screened smartphones, the Symbian-powered flagships have a new competitor: the Google Nexus One, selling across the world and offering the unadulterated Google Android experience. And this being the start of 2010, it’s also a good moment to pitch the two open source operating systems against each other. But how mature is Android (2.1)? And how do the device and its software stand up to two of the flagships from the Symbian world, the Nokia N97 and the Samsung i8910 HD?” Read more here:

February 18, 2010
“Symbians recent mobile operating system dubbed S^3, will go down in history as the companies first entirely open source release to engage more people in creating an application environment free of restrictions.S^3s UI is quite up to date, with the latest pinch-to-zoom features, swiping, scrolling, flicking and picking, you can perform all the fliptastic finger tricks you would expect to on a multi-touch Apple or Android device. Customization seems to be a big focus, users can select multiple layouts for their Home Screen, widgets galore, and a media player app the looks a whole lot like Apples Cover Flow. Nokia put together a bit of a design preview for the Nokia N87 with the S^3 OS, the video shows clearly how well the kinetic scrolling and other controls perform.” Read more inside..

BlackBerry WebKit Browser Video Demo First Look!
February 17, 2010
“The announced but not yet released WebKit-based BlackBerry web browser was shown off via video demo twice today at Mobile World Congress. Mike Lazaridis, RIM’s Co-Founder and Co-CEO, gave it a minute of glory during the morning’s general session, while an hour later it was Mike Kirkup, RIM’s Director of Developer Relations, who gave a quick walk through of what’s in store for the browser at the BlackBerry Developer Day at App Planet to those in attendanceThings are definitely looking promising here for us BlackBerry users, even when taking note of the fact the demo provided today was a recorded video vs. a live demo and you can see the browser was connected to WiFi vs. 3G. Getting data down to the BlackBerry fast has never been an issue for the BlackBerry web browser, rather it’s the rendering of the page once that data is on the device. It seems the Torch Mobile folks that joined RIM were able to hit the ground running and the BlackBerry is rendering Javascript and pages A LOT faster than any other previous BlackBerry web browser. I’m not sure if RIM has any devices on hand at MWC with the WebKit browser installed but I’ll do my best to get a minute of hands-on time with one if they do. No word on roll out yet, but the sooner the better, that’s for sure. Wouldn’t it be nice if the rollout came along with an OS update that featured some significant UI updates? BlackBerry Heaven, that’s what I’d call that.” via crackberry.com

February 17, 2010
“The version 031.012 firmware for the Nokia E55 has just been released. This brings the E55 up to date with with E52, which had the same version number firmware released earlier this month. The firmware is already available as an over-the-air update, and went smoothly on our E55.The update is a 7724KB download, and after updating there were no obvious changes. Please leave a comment if you find something new or different on your E55. At the time of writing we were unable to find any further details about the update, although it would be reasonable to assume it provides the same updates asreportedby Rafe for the E52. Built-in application version after the update:
- Web 7.1.5

- Maps 3.03 (0.1.22.103)” via allaboutsymbian.com
Skype now official and for Nokia S60 5th Edition phones
February 17, 2010
“Skype for Symbian, long in beta for S60 3rd Edition and missing-in-action for the Nokia N97 marque, has now been overhauled, face-lifted and released for both, and is out of beta. You can get it by going to skype.com/m in Web on your (N95 onwards) S60 phone and downloading when prompted. Read on for lots of screenshots from my Nokia N97, comment and links. Here’s Rafe’s first look at Skype for Symbian, from the beta released a few months ago. You might want to glance over this first. The S60 5th Edition version has been given a major cosmetic overhaul, though seemingly at the expense of a greater RAM hit.Here’s the main Skype information age for Symbian. And yes, the image for the N97 is wrong 
And, no, judging from the comments below, it doesn’t seem to work on anything non-Nokia – though I’m sure Skype are working on it. Skype is pretty heavy in terms of demands on the phone’s processor, especially when starting, so you have to be patient while it signs in, retrieves your Skype contacts/thumbnails (the first time – all these are stored locally and retrieved far faster thereafter) and checks statuses. There’s the option to include all your phone contacts as well, for calling via Skype if desired (and if you have Skype-out credit). It’s also very slow when downloading an existing chat history and then rendering it. Chat messages don’t seem to be stored locally and it can take up to minute for a lengthy chat history to be loaded up and rendered – guys, why not just grab the last day’s worth, rather than the last month? Just a thought. You can see why it has taken a while to get such a heavyweight application to the phone – Skype tries to fully replicate the desktop client far more than it tries to compete with the more nimble phone-centric Nimbuzz and Fring. As a result there will have been plenty of people at Skype tearing their hair out over the full client’s performance on the N97 (and N97 mini and 5800, to be fair) – it really needs faster hardware and more RAM. As you’ll see from the last screenshot, we’re back to the usual ‘Nokia really should have put more RAM in these things’ rant, I’m afraid. Skype will already be RAM-optimised, after so long in development, so all you can really do is close other hungry apps, like Gravity, Web and Photos, before kicking off Skype. Still, it works, call quality is good, and it’s great to see this app finally available for the Nokia N97, albeit 5 months later than originally promised.More photos here:
New Firmware v3.2010.02 8 (PR 1.1.1) for Nokia N900
February 17, 2010
“The Nokia N900 has just received a new firmware update taking it up to v3.2010.02-8 (PR 1.1.1). New firmware updates generally contain bug fixes and optimizations necessary for the software on your device to perform properly, therefore we recommend you always keep your device up to date. Unfortunately there is no official changelog but we will update this article as soon as we know more. The new firmware will gradually make its way round to you over the coming weeks depending on your region and product code.
How To Update The Firmware
There are many ways of updating the firmware on your Nokia N900. To install the software on your device using FOTA (Firmware Over-The-Air), simply launch the Application Manager and click update. There you will see a Maemo5 update. If the firmware update is not immediately available via FOTA, you can also update your firmware using NSU (Nokia Software Updater) on your PC. Once you plug your device in, select the PC Suite option, ensuring that the phone has a Sim Card inserted and the profile is set to General. Some devices also support UDP (User Data Preservation), which will preserve all your data and content on your device during these updates. However we still recommend you do a full backup in order to guarantee the safety of your data. The N900 is known to wipe off some data when updating via NSU so please be careful and backup your content” via thenokiareview.com
