eyeSight, the innovative Symbian developers who are hell bent on not letting us tap on our touchscreen symbian phones, have launched another one of theirs interactive games for 5800s- Interactive Christmas Card.

If you recall eyeCall, which we covered earlier this year: it offered a touch-free interface to answer/reject incoming calls using the front facing camera of the 5800s. This time around the folks at eyeSight have moved to the higher resolution rear camera and merged it a control unit for their christmas themed game-Interactive Christmas Card. The name is kinda misnomer for there is no actual christmas card for you to forward to your friend or anything, but nevertheless its still fun to play.  Before you rush to get this app for free from the ovi store, take a look at screenshots and our brief review, after the break.

Offscreen Technologies, one of the best known developers for the symbian fifth edition platform have been doling out christmas giveaways on the ovi store for a while now. If you have been following closely on the development over at the ovi store, you would have noticed that Offscreen has been dishing out one paid app after another, sans the price tag.

The latest to join the bandwagon of paid to free apps/games from Offscreen Technologies is the Airport Touch, a fun little game, wherein the gamer has to direct the incoming flights to the landing strip of a virtual airport. Sounds interesting? Hit on the jump button for more tid-bits of this game on our 5800s. Read more »

It’s been a while since we heard from SPB Software, who are like one of the most popular app developers for Windows Mobile and Symbian platforms. Just when we thought their Symbian division had gone dormant, they released their new app- SPB Weather.

Weather forecasts, why would you need weather forecasts on your mobile phone? If you are asking the above question, let me tell you that this info comes in very handy especially if you happen to be someone who travels a lot on work. You don’t want to be wearing the wrong gear as you step out of your home, only to realise how horribly inappropriate your choice was on reaching the destination. Ok, we need weather forecast, but how good is SPB Weather at sourcing this info right into our 5800s? Let’s find out. Read more »

We were “wow”ed, no more than “wow”ed from the response we got for our latest Tube5800 contest and we are not the only ones who were overwhelmed by the encouraging response to our contest.

We have around 278 entries to this contest, making it one of the most popular contests we have hosted at out blog here. If you thought 20 licenses was a surprise, we have a bigger one in store for you: All those who participated but didn’t won can now get MyPhone v2.4 for an exclusive discount of 30%. But first hit on the read button to see if you made it to our top 20 list to grab a free license of MyPhone v2.40. Read more »

Do you love frogs? Nevermind even if you despise them for this fun little game- Froga will change you perception of frogs, and if not that it will atleast entertain you with its puzzles.

Frogs and puzzles? And don’t the leaves look like Pac-Man? Yeah you are right with both the observations, for the first: the puzzles are more like block-2-go or Bulldozer and for that uncanny resemblance to Pac-Man of the leaves, we have no answer. May be we should knock at the doors of interActive (developers of Froga) for an answer, or may be Namco (developers of Pac-man) will! Let’s not bother about copyright infringements here and dwell straight away in to Froga, after the break though. Read more »

Famous for their applications on the Windows Mobile platform, Resco have been pretty active across other platforms as well. One of such applications on the symbian platform is Resco Photoviewer which  was first launched way back in 2007, the golden years of Nokia’s dominance in the smartphone segment with the unparalleled success of Nokia N95.

Well Nokia as well as we as consumers have come a long way and so has Resco with their Photoviewer which is now into v5.01 beta. Whats the deal with Resco Photoviewer? Well, it packs in quiet a punch with its kinetic scrolling and true image editing tools, that are presently not offered by the default image browser of our Nokia 5800s. Ok, how do they actually pan out on our 5800s? Let’s find out after the break though. Read more »

Following on the closed heels of the update from Fring, VoIP/IM client Nimbuzz has updated its client for the symbian fifth edition to v2.2 and no they still haven’t added video calls over VoIP but instead they have integrated twitter into their client now, thereby making it the most comprehensive VoIP/IM client on our 5800s.

While we have always wanted one mighty app that can take care of all our VoIP/IM needs, the twitter integration adds a new twist to the story for there are more powerful and (hence paid) standalone twitter clients in the market (Gravity being our favourite) and to be honest, Nimbuzz doesn’t cut it too close to make us shift entirely from Gravity to Nimbuzz.

We just can’t have enough of Rihanna and thanks to Nokia, they give us a good reason to turn to our 5800s (as if we are not showering enough attention to it already!). After releasing the exclusive preview of her latest album Rated R on Comes With Music along with some live performances, Rihanna is back on your 5800s, courtesy, Come Get Rihanna available for free exclusively for Xpressmusic devices at the Ovi store.

Well how much of Rihanna can you get from the app? We would say pretty much everything that you can lay your hands on the web (we are talking only about legal means here ;)). We can see that we have already set the temperatures soaring, so make sure you hit that read button to get a glimpse of what the app has in store for fans of Rihanna. Read more »
