We Want Our Boxes (For Our Games, That Is)

Over on Ovi Gaming I’ve posted an editorial on the importance of game boxes and physical media for the collector and the console gaming ecosystems.
This may seem a strange issue to bring up, and even though there is a niche that regards game boxes as collectibles, there are many, many more that would be quite [...]

Stephen Fry, Vax and the All About Symbian Insight Podcast

Popping up every week (although I don’t always point it out here) is the All About Symbian podcast, where Rafe Blandford, Steve Litchfield and I chat about the latest happenings in the smartphone world – mostly Symbian but we talk about the wider reach as well.
Of course you can’t talk about modern phones without discussing [...]

Nokia’s Comes with Music if you like mainstream, don’t mind DRM, can live with restrictions….

Nice big article over on All About Symbian looking at Nokia’s Comes with Music service, where you receive two years of as much Digital Restricted Music as you can download from the Nokia Music Store. Admittedly you need to have a taste for mainstream music, and there are some gotchas, as I found it:
Let’s start [...]

All About N-Gage becomes Ovi Gaming

One of the changes over this Memorial Weekend (isn’t it amazing how certain festivals have went international thanks to the internet?) is that All About N-Gage, the sister site of All About Symbian, is no more. It has ceased to be.
It’s now Ovi Gaming.
The news post with the changes can be found here, but in [...]

Review of the Nokia E75 as a Consumer Smartphone

It might be labelled as an Enterprise device, but Nokia’s E75 makes a pretty good consumer device, as I find out in my review over on All About Symbian.

Quantel Effects, The Liberator and the Nokia E75

More video fun over on All About Symbian – you can tell that I’m starting to explore the effects package in the video suite. Still, I hope it doesn’t get in the way of the content. This time around, i wanted to talk about the poor PIM/PDA apps on the Nokia E75 Enterprise device, and [...]

More Thoughts on the E75

Why is a mobile phone like a deck of playing cards? All will become clear in the second part of my video review of the Nokia E75, which went live via All About Symbian this morning.

Since starting these video diaries on the March USA trip, Steve Litchfield has been helping out with the workflow – [...]

Video Diaries and Reviewing Smartphones

While on the US trip, myself, Rafe and Steve over at All About Symbian decided to take the time that I was away from my regular desk to do a little testing of a new product, namely short video reviews of handsets over a long period of time. During March, readers of All About Symbian [...]

Liveblogging My Flight To The US

Well I say liveblog, more notes that I’m making on the EEE as I fly, hence thenewer posts are at the bottom of this one. I’ll uploaded them when I get somewhere that’s not 6 miles up in the air, free Wi-fi enabled planes this 777 is not. (All times PST).
