Who says you need a fancy 3D panel to peek into the third dimension of entertainment? Your 5800 is all that you need and we aren’t kidding whatsoever. Carnival Comics bring 3D technology to your 5800s and 5800ers are among the first few to experience this 3D extravaganza on a mobile device!

At present the 3D technology comes at the cost of having to sport 3D glasses to catch the extra dimension, sans which it’s just a blurry image. This 3D comic is no different and you will have to invest in a pair of 3D glasses. The comics is free though, but is the investment in the 3D glasses, worth it? Let’s find out after the break.

Vuvu-what-zela? If that’s the question on your mind, we should be directing you to the FIFA Worldcup happening as we blog this very post over in South-Africa. Vuvuzelas are nothing but the blowing horn which is traditionally associated with South-African football.

The high pitch sound of the Vuvuzelas has been one of the most widely debated topics of the FIFA World cup with players and viewers across the world being distracted by the noise. There are stand-alone applications to filter the Vuvuzela noise from the Worldcup broadcasts which are widely used by cable operators world-wide. It may be a matter of concern for others but the joy of blowing Vuvuzelas is unmatchable and our friends at MMMOOO just saved you a trip down to Cape Town as you can very much blow your own Vuvuzela wherever you (or rather your 5800 or Nokia Windows phone) are (is).

The battle of Resistive vs Capactive technologies for touchscreens is here to last with each having their own share of advantages and disadvantages. While the capacitive boasts of multi-touch capability, the resistive screen boasts of response from any kind of surface, adding easy stylus support among other things. This responsiveness to any surface proves to be bothersome at times, especially when you happen to be forgetful as us.

So we thought, there should be a way out of this misery and that’s when we came across PocketLock.

What PocketLock aims to do is to lock your phone everytime you slip it into your pocket, thus keeping you away from random calls among other things. That’s what it’s supposed to do, but how well does it actually fare on our 5800s? Let’s find out. Read more »
