nokiaAAddict: Great Reviews, Rants and Apps

Posted on by

Gerry Moth’s nokiAAddict.com is an indispensable site for Nokia and Symbian users whether they are actual addicts or just trying to get their phones to do what they want them to. Gerry reviews the latest hardware and software but the best part of the site for me is its directory of S60 3rd and 5th apps. When you need an an app, avoid the frustrations of the Ovi Store and doggy download sites and head directly to nokiAAddict’s Downloads page … Continue reading →

The Place for N97 Fanatics

Posted on by

The N97 is Nokia’s flagship model, at least until the N900 comes out. It didn’t get very good reviews initially but with last week’s release of new v 2.0 firmware I’m seeing a lot of positive reports about the handset. The N97 seems to be selling like hotcakes too, moving two million units in the first three months to become Nokia’s best selling Symbian device. Some of those two million have likely been to N97 Fanatics to read the best … Continue reading →

The Symbian Blog Goes Mobile With A New WordPress Plugin

Posted on by

I recently found Vaibhav Sharma’s site, The Symbian Blog.  The name is a little misleading as focus of the site seems to be mainly Nokia and S60  rather than Symbian as a whole.  There’s very little about UIQ and MOAP. But I suppose that’s OK as those platforms are likely to soon become history and Symbian will become  a synonym for S60. The site is updated daily and features product announcements, hardware and software reviews and tips for getting the … Continue reading →

BlackBerry Tips and Downloads

Posted on by

As a new user of an old BlackBerry 7100i, I’ve been making heavy use of the LazyWeb and its offspring, the LazyMobile Web to learn the secrets of this powerful but quirky device and to find games and apps to download.  Here are quick reviews of a couple of BlackBerry specific mobile sites I’ve found useful. I’ve added them to the WapReview Directory’s BlackBerry section. BlackBerryTrade (mobile.blackberrytrade.com)  is a relatively new BlackBerry news blog, user forum and download site. The … Continue reading →

Mobile BlackBerry Forums

Posted on by

My Boost Mobile Motorola i855 recently died and I picked up an old Blackberry 7100i for $35 on eBay to replace it.  This is my first Blackberry so I needed plenty of help in figuring out to set it up to synchronize with Outlook and to find and load compatible applications.  Fortunately there are a huge number of BlackBerry resources on the net. A little Googling and I found everything I needed.  My contacts, calendar and notes are now synchronized … Continue reading →
