Feeling like having some cupcake or donut for coffee today? How about some eclairs? You got it right, we are talking about different versions of Android out there in the wild and not any of those mouth-watering desserts. However, if we have already set you salivating, let us pacify by telling you that it’s now possible to get these desserts, sorry these android UIs on our 5800s. Nah, we are not talking about any fancy emulators here, just a well done theme is what we need, and looks like Mandeep has got the right recipe for android desserts on your 5800s!

Android by Mandeep is an excellent imitation of the Android UI and though is nowhere near the android emulator, we reviewed earlier, it has got loads of eye-candy and appeal. Read on for a brief review of this theme. Read more »

Bored of hearing the same cold voice of the voice navigation commands onboard the Ovi Maps on your 5800? How about personalising the voice commands to your very own or downloading one of the many options that Nokia has piled up at their servers? Own Voice is what you need, and we are not talking about your vocal chords but the latest app from Nokia which does very much what it’s name stands for.

Before you head to Ovi Store to get this app and add that personal touch to your navigation experience, we should warn you that there are 54 commands in total, so unless you have like half an hour to spare, you are better of downloading some of the voice packs available within the app. What options do users have and how easy is it to add a personal voice pack? Find out after the break. Read more »

It’s been a while since we saw a really impressive theme from someone other than the BIG TWO of Symbian themes. We are referring to Pizero and TehkSeven ofcourse and the theme that has really caught our attention goes by the name of Blue Pearl by Morkino. They are one of the relatively new theme designers and though this is not the first work we have seen of theirs, this is definitely the best we have seen from them.

Before we move on to our review on this eye-catching theme, we should highlight to our readers that our previously reviewed theme- Earth by none other than Pizero has more than a million official downloads from the Ovi store. A million downloads aside, does the theme from Morkino, has what it takes to stand out among the great works of Pizero and TehkSeven? Let’s find out after the break. Read more »

How does the idea of having access to all your web feeds in one place sound to you? No, we are not talking about an RSS feed reader but something way beyond that.

That’s exactly what Snaptu is all about-a single solution for all your web needs, well almost!

How’s the gaming scenario on 5800 looking like for you guys? Well, there have been some popular titles from other platforms like the Asphalt, Prince of Persia etc, which have been bundled in the Symbian package and the hardcore gamer has been kept on his toes for a while. But, off late there has been not much of a movement from big names, but Sonic Jump from SEGA is a welcome change.

When a major game developer like SEGA comes up with a game, you don’t think twice before downloading that game and when they bundle the game as a free download, there is no reason not to get this game on your 5800. But is the game worth a download? Let’s find out, after the break. Read more »

You know when your app store isn’t doing great? When there is an app to suggest the best apps within the app store. iTunes App store has a few of them but now over our Ovi store has seen an entry in this segment of apps. Unlike the ones in iTunes App store, this one comes from the store keeper’s themselves: yeah that’s right Nokia itself has developed and released the topApps on Ovi store, an app which very much lives up to it’s name.

So what exactly does topApps do, other than listing the best selling apps in the Ovi store? Quiet a few other things as well. Find out after the break. Read more »

The good old Google Maps just got better on the symbian version with the update to v4.1. As seen in its clients across several mobile platforms, voice commands seem to be the theme for mobile applications this season and it finally lands on the Google Maps client for the symbian version.

When it comes to voice commands, differing accents pose a stumbling block, as Microsoft learned when it was pitching Microsoft Dictation as the primary speech-to-text add-on for its Office suite. Has Google learned anything from Microsoft’s bitter experience? Let’s find out after the break. Read more »

Does the name eyeSight ring any bells for our Tube5800 followers? If it doesn’t let us remind you that it is the same company which released the magical eyeCall application which we gaveaway in one of our Tube5800 contests dating back to June 2009! We have come a long way indeed and so has eyeSight which recently released their music player-Moove, which does more than playing the music!

Perhaps the title of the post gave it away already, and if that didn’t the screenshot of Moove MP3 player welcome screen on the left should have. The USP of this app is not the music player but the control mechanism which puts the front facing camera to good use. Find out what and how of Moove on 5800s, after the break. Read more »

It’s been a while (three months to be specific), since Nokia last released a firmware update to their best selling touchscreen device-5800Xpress Music and lest you be thinking of Nokia abandoning it’s loyal customer base, we have an update for you. Infact it’s our Finnish friends who have released an update for the 5800 firmware, which to be honest caught us by surprise, considering the update frequency in the recent times for our 5800s.

The latest firmware is v50.0.005 and since Nokia have jumped from v40.*.* to v50.*.*, we are expecting some major improvements. The update is available for a select few product codes (spread across Europe, South America and Asia) at the time of drafting this post and is expected to hit the Nokia Update servers worldwide in a short matter of time. As seen with previous updates, v50.0.005 is available over both Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) and Nokia Software Updater (NSU). While we weren’t able to get the update on our 5800 ourselves, several of our 5800 friends across the globe have been alerting us on the update and we are wasting no time in updating our readers of the same. What’s new in v50.0.005? Find out after the break. Read more »
