Symbian help - by email
Craig Loxton, the guy who guested in the latest Smartphones Show, has been busy - he's set up a Symbian Help group on Google Groups , presumably intending to run it much like the old, beloved EPOC Digest back in Psion days. It'll cover S60 and UIQ matters and is open to all.Posted by Steve Litchfield at 21:26 UTC, January 2nd || 3 Comments

The Friday Gaming Double Bill
In the last Friday gaming spot before N-Gage launches (well, that's the theory anyway), I bring you Attila's review of Stolen in 60 Seconds, plus Krisse's review of Quartz 2, both top notch games with wide Symbian OS device compatibility. Have fun with them and let's hope we have even bigger fish to fry come next Friday and Christmas!Posted by Steve Litchfield at 9:06 UTC, December 14th || 2 Comments
Taking storage for granted and 'The Importance Of Backups' part 362
In which I muse on the advances made in storage technology over the last 25 years, acknowledge some imperfections and then repeat the oldest piece of 'good advice' in the IT world . Do you know how they get 50,000,000,000 1s and 0s on your microSD? No, I don't either, and I don't trust it.Posted by Steve Litchfield at 10:20 UTC, December 11th || 17 Comments
A Symbian Christmas
Ah yes, Krisse does like to roundup Christmas/wintery games each year, with a couple of new entrants this time round. There are games for all Symbian platforms, most of them are free, and at the very least they should keep you going until Nokia decides to throw the switch on their N-Gage store...Posted by Steve Litchfield at 14:06 UTC, December 7th || 5 Comments
80 laser-fraught levels of Robo
In the second part of a Friday game double-bill, Attila Katona reviews Robo, also for (nearly) every Symbian OS platform known to man. It's a level-based puzzler in isometric 3D and Robo is really rather good in its cute, pixellated way.Posted by Steve Litchfield at 9:10 UTC, November 30th || 5 Comments
Blazar - cheap enough and cheerful?
It's been around for a while for S60 and UIQ (in all varieties), but Krisse brings us a detailed review of scrolling shoot 'em up Blazar in the modern age. That'll be the 'we're all kicking our heels, seeing what else is out there, waiting for N-Gage to be properly available' age, then....Posted by Steve Litchfield at 7:57 UTC, November 30th || 0 Comments
N82, N95 8GB and Kaiser added to the Grid
Forgive the (now) monthly plug, but I've added the Nokia N82, N95 8GB and (non Symbian) HTC Kaiser/TyTN II to my infamous 'choose your perfect smartphone' grid. And hey, the iPhone's in there too, comments welcome on any unusual winners!Posted by Steve Litchfield at 15:55 UTC, November 24th || 10 Comments
Li-Nuggz, your weekend game challenge
Krisse has been reviewing arcade puzzler Li-Nuggz, a colourful and dynamic game for all Symbian platforms except UIQ 2. Verdict? Plenty of playability and great design, but you might want to turn down the sound effect volume!Posted by Steve Litchfield at 8:05 UTC, November 24th || 2 Comments
