Its the Weekend and we thought about covering a nice little game to beat the stress and look what we landed upon-BlockGO, an addictive brainteaser from Frienzplay.

The game which bears striking resemblance to the game of Bulldozer of the yesteryears is an excellent adaption of a classic brain teaser on a touch screen platform. We were so impressed by the design and implementation of this game that we just couldn’t have enough of this game on our 5800s. Screenshots and more BlockGO related tidbits after the break.

The love of our lives, the Nokia 5800 just got better. As if the alluring 3.5″ touchscreen was not enough, the black plastic bezel around the upper periphery now wields a chrome coating to add that additional oomph factor to the looks of our Tube 5800s.

Unveiled today by Nokia, the “Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition” will be pre-loaded with lifetime of voice-guided Drive and Walk navigation license for the onboard Ovi Maps. We are not done yet, Nokia is also throwing-in navigation specific accessories like Nokia self-mount car kit, consisting of a Nokia Car Charger (DC-4), Car Holder Pack (CR-103), Rotating swivel adaptor (AD-69) and Easy Mount (HH-17); all this for just €285 (before subsidies and taxes).

While the v30 firmware update has left us with a mixed bags of feelings, we landed upon a bunch of app updates for followers of our blog. Some of the most popular 5800 apps to have been updated recently include: Adobe Flash Lite, Youtube Client (for s60 v3 and s60v5) and Google Maps (for s60v3 and s60v5).

All the three are minor updates with no official changelog released from the developers as such. We are still getting a hang of the latest versions of these apps but in this limited time, the apps seem to crash less frequently (esp the YouTube client). Screenshots and more info after the break.

Remember those long hours you whisked away engrossed in a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with your best buddy? The game as such may sound silly but has very high entertainment quotient. Even to this day we can’t help but pull out a paper and start playing this classic game whenever we are stuck in a boring lecture or a sleep inducing seminar. We were so delighted when we saw this classic pencil-and-paper game on the ovi store that we didn’t waste any time and straightaway downloaded the application.
