If you head over to http://www.nseries.com/nseries/vine/ you be greeted with a nice new video explaining Nokia viNe and telling you its coming soon, THIS WEEK.

As part of my N96 Challenge I was sent the latest Nokia viNe application version 1.0 today and I’m here to say its fast and its cool. They have still to send me the online widget to go with the Nokia viNe application, but the Nokia viNe mobile application works great in the N96, N95 8GB and even the E71. I had my reservations about the application when I first got the N96 with Nokia viNe v0.96 installed on it and I slated it for being slow and crashing constantly, but this new version 1.0 is just everything we’d hoped for from Nokia.

When you first run the application after installing, it will ask you for your Nokia Account username/password and then your Sportstracker username/password, yipee Nokia are combining everything together. Hopefully one username/password for all Nokia applications/services

Honest Nokia viNe is going to ROCK!

If you’re going to install and try out nAlertMe by Samir I’d advise not doing it in a quiet office like I did today. As the piercing alert sounded, you’ve never seen the gerrymoth move so quick in your life.

Thought I’d video what its like, so watch this:

PS: nAlertMe uses the Accelerometer in you mobile phone, so this doesn’t work on the E71. Tested working on the N95 8GB.

Bloggers have been posting pictures and giving details of the pre-production Nokia N63’s they have been given after the official launch this morning at 9am, 12th November 2008.

What I hear you say, its only the 11th November 2008? WHOOPS!


UPDATE 12/11/08: The E63 has been officially been launched today and the full specification can be found HERE

When Nokia Betalabs released FriendView last week I was quick to download, install and eager to try out, but I hit a slight problem with HTTP Timeouts over 3G connection only (connects and works great over wifi). I quickly emailed Nokia Betalabs team and got a even quicker reply stating there must be a problem with my network (3UK) as the FriendView application only uses http and if I could access the website from my phone I must be able to access via the application.

So thinking to myself 3UK must be blocking the http address or the port maybe, I rushed to phone and email 3 to explain the problem. 6 days later and I’m still waiting from a response as a normal 3 customer, but luckily I have online friends on Twitter & Jaiku who know people in 3 directly and they have come back to be with the official response from 3 Technical Support - “We are not blocking anything which would stop the Nokia FriendView application from working, but remember its a beta application”.

Great, Nokia say its 3UK and 3UK say its Nokia.

THE BLAME GAME

I’ve been talking with other Nokia FirendView users who are on T-Mobile and 02 Networks in the UK and they don’t seem to be having any problems accessing this BETA application using the same Nokia E71, N95 and n96 mobile phones that I have been trying, so I’m still of the opinion its a 3UK Network problem.

So it looks like FriendView is going to be a wifi only application for 3UK customer for awhile then!

Opera Mini have released Beta 4.2 which has updates for syncing notes, improved RTSP video handling and skins is back

I’ve tried to find a decent calculator for the E71, but can’t find a good scientific one as good as the layout and feel of MTVOID. The Nokia BetaLabs guys working on Nokia Enhanced Calculator need to look and maybe talk to the MTVOID Team?

LCG Slick has been updated again to fixed problems some users experienced with MSN. Update direct from the program or download from HERE.

Just installed this free version of GSpaceMobile onto the E71 to provide additional 7GB of online storage. The free version only allows file transfers between your phone and gmail box of max 1MB, but the full version doesn’t. I’ve also added the Firefox extension Gspace which will allow me to quickly add files from the PC and download easily later on from the phone.

This software release includes a new versions of Mail For Exchange and Nokia Maps. The release also includes a number of performance improvements including camera viewfinder orientation, Mail for Exchange synchronisation and browsing. Please note that if you have encrypted your device or memory card, decrypt it before the software update to avoid possible data loss.

gerrymoth says: Hopefully this improves the wifi problems I’ve been having, this is probably the only reason I have to upgrade at the moment.

LCG X-Plore has been updated to v1.30 which brings the ability to use the phone theme and also a new online authentication to ensure you’ve actually purchased a legal copy of it.

Update directly from the application if you have it installed or download from HERE
