After months of teasing, Opera finally released a beta of version 10 for Symbian, available here or at m.opera.com/next It’s all fine and dandy, it’s basically Opera Mini 5 beta, with Opera Turbo and all their fast magic, only faster because it’s a native app. I know some people that swear by Opera Mini, and this [...]

Maemo meetup, Chicago

By fernando | Published: November 4, 2009
I was there! Yesterday night, after some years meaning to go to the “Evening with S60″ events in Chicago, I finally was able to go to one. This post won’t have many pictures, mostly because I was more excited about playing with the N900s than about taking pictures. :P So, things I found noteworthy, in [...]

Nokia 5800 updated to v30.0.011

By fernando | Published: July 27, 2009
Early this morning, reports of a new Nokia 5800 firmware echoed through the internets. I thought I’d wait until it’s confirmed hackeable, as I always do. But after a couple conflicting reports I decided to try for myself. OTA firmware update, same experience as V21. First impression: if you get an endless rebooting phone, take out [...]

V21 for the 5800

By fernando | Published: April 28, 2009
First OTA firmware update I install ever! Took a screenshot of the installation process too. Yaaaay. Now for the alleged change log that’s been floating around, seems pretty accurate, so it must be true. Following BUGS are fixed, Lock code does not work after FOTA update Logs: Info cannot be seen in missed calls if name includes special characters [...]

V20 for Nokia 5800

By fernando | Published: February 10, 2009
A little late on the news, as I couldn’t install it without messing with products code first. And I can’t post about something without giving my impressions. Anyway, with the installation behind me, yes, the new firmware is awesome, fast (finally leaving the transitions on is worth it!) they fixed a lot of those blue default [...]

More Nokia 5800 pics and notes

By fernando | Published: January 9, 2009
Ah winter, ice, snow. I tried and tried to take good pictures really showing the bluish tint of my 5800 for my last post, but failed. Turns out it was just a lighting problem, since the blinding white glow of snow was enough to make it show itself to the camera. :D See the whole collection [...]

By fernando | Published: January 7, 2009
Yes! Finally today I went to the Nokia Flagship store in Chicago to get my very own Nokia 5800! This post is going to be just my first impressions, not meant to be a through review, I’ll leave the nitpicking in specific apps (or lack of) in the next posts. The good: Since the moment I took [...]

Impressions from the comments on the interwebs mention the following changes: Anti-hacking measures New weird bug that mixes english with whatever language you selected for phones with changed product code (don’t know how that’d happen, but it’s the word on the street.) Bold application names on the menu. [...]
