Noticed today that Nokia Betalabs have released a java application and even worse its an old S40 java application. The ‘Enhanced Calculator for S60‘ or the old ‘S40 Calculator’ has been released.

Now its nice Nokia have realised the Calculator in the S60 phones isn’t the best and want to improve upon it, but come on, they could have at least made it a *.SIS file and made it overwrite the old one. Hopefully they’ll do this or include it in a firmware upgrade.

Maybe I’m just expecting too much now from the Nokia Betalabs guys after they’ve releasing some great FREE apps?

I’ve updated the nokiAAddict Podcast Web Directory to include all the various audio and video podcasts from Mobile Industry Review which used to be SMSTextNews

If you haven’t watched any of the guys video podcasts yet I’d def recommend it as they are quite funny and informative at the same time.

There is still the standard audio podcast along with new video podcasts in 3GP and M4V format.

I enjoy sometimes finding by chance a quicker way to do something on your phone. While using the Nokia Web browser on the N78 I managed to pull up the toolbar? I couldn’t workout how I’d done it till I went through the menu and selected ‘Show toolbar’ and it explained how to do it. If you hold the centre key down in a blank space the toolbar appears allowing you to select:-

Its competition time at nokiAAddict.com and you have the chance to win a Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-503. All you have to do is answer the 3 simple questions below:-

Q1. What Nokia mobile has a built-in FM transmitter?

Q2. What are the names of the three themapsters characters?

Just in case more than one person gets all the questions correct, tell me in no more than 140 characters, why you’d like to win the Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset?

Closing date for entries is 12th September 2008

When I took the N78 out of its box the first thing I thought was where are the numbers on the keypad, but once I turned the phone on they soon appeared. Nice touch, but the 2nd thing I noticed was the back cover of the phone didn’t shut correctly on one corner, not very nice

It seems Nokia Betalabs guys referenced the wrong version of Nokia Internet Services Support Package on the website, should be v1.06.

I’ve removed all previous version using App Manager and installed the correct ones, rebooted the phone and all is working fine.

Nokia betalabs have now released Nokia Chat for all S60 3rd Edition mobile phone, which is good news for all you N73, E61 and none GPS enabled Nokia users. head over to Nokia Betalabs to download or type http://www.chat.nokia.com/app into your phones web browser.

UPDATE: Just tried to install on my Nokia E61-1 and getting ‘System Error (-1)’ when trying to open

Alos just tried installing to my N73 and can’t get Nokia Chat to open, but noticed in both N73 & E61 that Nokia Chat doesn’t appear in Contacts like it does on the N95 8GB.

I’ve added a new page called ‘Downloads‘ to the nokiAAddict website. This will be a list of links to all the developer websites for all apps I use on my Nokia mobile phones. Most links entered on your mobile phone will allow you to download the application directly.

Enjoy downloading and let me know if any links are broken.
