It was in late December 2010 when Nokia released a small update to their Ovi Store client for Symbian S60 5th Edition. However, at the point the new version (1.08) was released for select markets only and now it’s available in all countries.

Nimbuzz for Symbian updated with data compression, invisible mode
Nimbuzz updated its Symbian app to make it more bandwidth friendly. Version 3.0.1 promises to reduce mobile data spending up to 70%, though on average you’ll have to settle for “only” 50%, which is still awesome.

Finns and Swedes can now preorder Nokia’s delayed E7 [Shipping in February. Maybe.]
The huge screen huge QWERTY keyboard form factor is one that Nokia has traditionally excelled at.

Many of us do and many of us lost our loyalty to…
Bell Picking up the Nokia C6-01 in March
I’m by no means a Nokia fan, and quite honestly, I don’t follow the comings and goings of the company very closely. That said, my first mobile device was a Nokia, and the manufacturer does cling to a fond spot in my heart. That’s why, every once and awhile, I like to pop up a…
