This seems to turn into a wear between phone manufacturers. Apple just posted the video above to their official Youtube channel. This time they show a Nokia N97 drop from 7 bars to 2.

Symbian Foundation posted a set of Symbian^4 UI screenshots on their Symbian Wiki page. The screenshots have now been removed from that page, but you can find them here after the break.
These images aren’t of course anything near final, but gives you an idea where Symbian is headed with its UI design. Symbian^4 looks like an mash-up of Symbian^3 (Nokia N8) and Symbian^1 5th edition (Nokia N97). Hit View Post to see the rest of the screenshots.

Nokia N97 mini firmware updated to v12.0.110
Jonne Eilimö | July 1, 2010 09:33 UTC | 2 comments | source
Together with the Nokia N97, also the N97 mini received a firmware update today. This will bring the version number up to 12.0.110, and I’d guess that it is also a bugfix release. Couldn’t find a changelog for this yet, but I’d guess it is at least near the same with the Nokia N97′s that I posted here.

Disco Ensemble Music Video Shot With 25 Nokia N97s
Jonne Eilimö | June 19, 2010 14:07 UTC | 1 comment |
Helsinki Institute for Information Technology HIIT and Nokia Research Center have collaborated to film a music video at Provinssirock in Seinäjoki, Finland.
25 Nokia N97s will be used to film the Disco Ensemble gig later today. This footage will later be used to mix up a music video for the band.
Participants will use Nokia N97 phones to take video during Lapko’s or Disco Ensemble’s concert. After Provinssirock each group will make their own video mix using the video clips they took during the concert. The video mixes that really kick ass will get published on bands’ social media sites.
Pretty cool concept if you ask me.

Nokia N97's Firmware Updated to Version 30.0.016
Jonne Eilimö | June 1, 2010 13:52 UTC | 5 comments | source
Nokia N97 just received a firmware update to version 30.0.016. No official changelog is yet available, but the update can be downloaded via NSU or the OTA feature on the N97. There is no need for backing up your data (though it is recommended) because of the UDP feature on your N97.

Nokia just released a new beta of the Nokia Messaging for IM.
Nokia Messaging for IM offers a desktop-like IM experience on your Nokia device. You can stay in contact with your friends across multiple communities at the same time, easily switch between them and customize your status by community. Highlights include:
- Chat with your friends on the Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger, Google Talk and Ovi communities.
- (new!) Easily change your custom status, avatar (picture) and switch between conversations and communities with just a few taps on touch-based devices.
- (new!) Preview new messages in the Chat home screen widget. When signed in to multiple communities, the widget will cycle between them. You can also change your presence within the widget itself.
- See your friends’ avatars and set your own using the camera or an image from your gallery (for Windows Live Messenger (new!), Gtalk (new!) and Ovi communities).
The new touch-based beta client is available for the Nokia N97 mini and Nokia 97. It has not completed a full testing cycle on the Nokia 5800 and Nokia X6 but has passed the early tests – so give it a try.
