Good new for those who have invested in Samsung!
Samsung Electronics released their Q3 result, and it’s astonishing. They sold 60.2 million phones, with an average price of 81€. That’s 15% higher when compared to Q2, and a 16% higher than what it was last year.
This is also the first time that Samsung’s market share in phones climb over 20%. This makes Samsung worlds 2nd biggest player in mobile phones.
This is something that could come handy, an iPhone app that will translate text from a picture that you have taken. The app is priced at 1.59€.
The Nokia N97 mini will be released in Scandinavia next week.
The phone will come with a price-tag of 549€ for the standard edition, and the Comes With Music edition will be priced at 679€. Seems quite weird since the “real” N97 is priced at 579€ at the moment(in Finland).
Most of the mini’s will be of the CWM edition, and it will be harder to find stores that sell the phone without the service.
Good new tho the HTC Hero users, HTC is working on bringing Android 2.0 to your phone! Don’t know if any other existing HTC phones will also be updated in the process, but at least the Hero will be.
Here is the quote from Engadget:
Yes, we are working on an Eclair update for the HTC Hero. Because Eclair is a significantly enhanced release, it will require some time to update Sense for this new version of the Android OS. Please be patient while we work to provide you with a tightly integrated experience like the one you are already enjoying on your Hero.

A little correction to the post that I made yesterday, Google’s turn-by-turn navigation is first coming to Android 2.0, and after that possibly to the iPhone. Sorry about the mess-up in the last post :)
But what I didn’t write about in the last post, is that Google Maps Navigation will automatically jump when possible into street-view when arriving at the destination. This is what I call a nice feature!
Nokia today announced that it is now possible to re-download content from the Ovi Store.
Nokia started their transition phase with only selected phones and content first, but now they have made re-downloads possible in the whole Ovi Store.
