So the updates are out and here is what we have. To start things out there is Social 1.2 which has photo and video uploaded improvements. Ovi Store2.0 is preloaded along with Ovi Maps. QuickOffice 6.4.166 will be there along with improved zooming functions. The dialer will now work in landscape mode as well as you can change the phones wallpaper directly from the options on the home screen. The music player has also been enhanced thanks to a new screen saver that shows track name and a bay of cycled colors.
Fixes include the animated screen saver now being removed as well as the charging indicator giving fals messages when charging with the device powered off.
The size of the update is 170MB so if you have a limited data plan, we would suggest downloading the update from the Ovi Suite.

Nokia N8, C7, C6-01 update details released
Tuesday, February 15th, 2011Nokia World Event Highlights
Wednesday, September 15th, 2010Finnish phone manufacturer Nokia is currently keeping the full interest of the entire mobile phone industry. With the Nokia World event currently keeping everyone busy and up to date, keeping track of all the new announcements can be difficult to manage. Here’s a quick round up of all Nokia related news bits so far.
First off, CEO Jorma Ollia will be leaving his position as the CEO of Nokia in 2012. While this was not formally stated during the event, the man did not deny the situation when he was asked about. Another major figure in Nokia, Anssi Vanjoki has recent left the company. The man was originally the head of mobile and it is believed that he quit his post as a reaction to the coming of former Microsoft employee, Stephen Elop as the new CEO.
Anyway, on to more cheery news, there are three new smart phones from Nokia that are going to be launched. The Nokia E7, C7 and C6-01 handsets are going to be the new devices that are set to dominate Nokia’s mid range offerings. With the Symbian^3 operating system loaded with plenty of useful features –particularly support for online social networking, these phones are going to give mid range Android handsets quite the competition.
The Nokia N9 is a no-show at the event. It is believed that the MeeGo based smart phone is taking a pass at this event in order to provide the Nokia N8 (which is expected to launch later this October) more attention. The N9 is not going to be available until later in December and further attention to the handset might cannibalize the sales for the N8.
Lastly, Nokia is also featuring plenty of new features on the Ovi store. One particular focus was the new location based services on Ovi Maps which is quite similar to the Foursquare app.
Apple’s New Patent, Nokia C6-01 and Samsung’s G-Tab
Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
The Google Android operating system is going big with the upcoming launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab. According to initial speculations, the new touch screen tablet will be sporting the new Android 2.2 Froyo operating system and the device will be supporting voice call functionality effectively making it one large mobile phone –which is probably why Samsung still includes the device in the Galaxy line up.
In any case, the Korean phone maker has yet to reveal other details about this upcoming gadget.
Speaking of upcoming, Apple has an interesting little patent that was put into focus by the tech website Patently Apple. The new technology being developed (on paper at least) is a way to combine the microphone with the audio jack.
The innovation will help mobile phones by adding in a secondary audio source and could be used to help filter out noise much like a dual speaker system would be capable of doing.
This technology seems to have been in the Apple patent cupboards for quite some time and it is actually quite a shame that they did not implement the technology on the recently released iPhone 4. Hopefully, other upcoming devices for Apple would be able to integrate the feature or some derivation of it.
Last on our news updates is a quick update from Nokia. Apparently, a Bulgarian operator accidentally placed the image of the Nokia C6-01 on an ad that was meant for the C6-00. The issue was quickly rectified and the image of the C6-01 is now associated with the right name.
While initial concepts for the Nokia C6-01 where showcasing a physical slide out QWERTY keyboard, the final product loses this add-on for a sleeker form factor. Since the older C6-00 already sports a keyboard, it is nice to see a small degree of variation when it comes to choosing a handset from the entire Nokia C-series.
