No, nobody has ported Maemo 5 to our 5800s (yet!) but symbian theme designer Mandeep and FoneArena have released Maemo Arena, a symbian theme heavily inspired by the UI elements of Maemo 5.

Now only if some hacker would port the Maemo 5 OS to the 5800s, would we get the features like kinetic scrolling and skype integration on our 5800s but till then we have to be happy with this Maemo Arena theme, which we have to confess is as close as symbian UI can ever get to the Maemo UI, that is at the time being. Check out screenshots and a brief review after the break. Read more »

Spotify, one of the better known music streaming services on the mobile platforms has now landed on our 5800s (yeah finally!). The service which has been doing the rounds in the iPhone and Android communities now completes the full circle when it comes to support for different mobile platforms with the newly announced symbian support.

As with their apps on iPhone and Android, the app is available only for premium subscribers of Spotify (£9.99/month). That doesn’t mean others cannot install this app; its just that non-subscribers will not be able to use the app’s streaming services and hence will be stuck at the login page of the app. If you are game to a premium Spotify account, you gotta see the demo video, after the break though.

Twitter is one of the most happening networking services today and tweeting has caught on to the imagination of most of the net savvy crowd. With 3G/EDGE services becoming more a necessity than luxury these days, mobile devices are increasingly being used for tweeting.

While twitter clients have a fairly limited presence in the ovi store, the competition is rather fierce with Gravity and Stew setting high standards for a twitter client. How TwitBreeze measures up to the competing clients? Let’s find out after the break. Read more »

Enough of iPhone bashing, let’s get back to Pico Fart on 5800, after the break though. Read more »

It’s been more than a year since we started this blog and it has been a wonderful journey so far. From just another phone specific blog, we have grown into the largest and the best source of applications/games for 5800s on the web, and that is apart from the reviews and contests, 5800ers tend to identify us with.

While we have been striving hard to bring the best of 5800s to our readers, we are being bogged down by some serious financial constraints.  But our determination to serve the 5800 community is stronger than that and we are sure the community will come forward and lend a helping hand to us. So here comes a sincere request from the Tube5800 team: If you think our blog was in anyway instrumental in helping you get more out of your 5800s, please drop a few dollars in our online donation box.
