Merging fonts, S60 specific glyphs and other stories

Fonts! Yes, one of S60′s oldest mysteries. Why Euro1 firmware phones don’t support asian fonts? It made sense back in the S60v2 times, where memory was scarce. But now there’s plenty of space for just a couple more megabytes that a full unicode font would occupy. For that, there are alternative fonts, pretty much any [...]

V21 for the 5800

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 [...]

Gravity for S60 is out!

Pic lifted from blog-n97.fr, as taking a screenshot myself would be too… personal. :P It’s out! It’s out! The most anticipated gravity twitter client for S60 is out and it rules pretty hard!

V20 for Nokia 5800

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 [...]
