I got this note in from Nokia’s social media team — if you’re having trouble with your Nokia N97 lens scratching (only a very small amount of devices are effected), you should read this text from the Nokia social media team: [We are...] aware that there is a number of Nokia N97′s where the lens [...]

Jobs I’d Like To Have: The Nokia Ovi Services Troubleshooter
Last week, I introduced a new regular feature here on Mobile Industry Review called, “Jobs I’d Like To Have”. We launched with me exploring what it might be like to sort out Microsoft Windows Mobile. It started off as a 200-word post and quickly grew from there. With that in mind, tonight Matthew[1], I’d like [...]
The best network for the iPhone in the UK: Orange
It’s official. After a good week-and-a-bit, it’s time to end the poll we’ve been running here on Mobile Industry Review. The news that o2 lost their exclusivity on the iPhone is a big deal in the United Kingdom. A very big deal. So much so that the issue has definitely caught the normob (“normal mobile [...]
Are you going to the Open Mobile Summit?
The Open Mobile Summit is taking place on the 4-5th November in San Francisco. And it looks to be a good one. The keynote speaker line-up is going to be really, really interesting. They’ve got Vint Cerf (father of the internet and now at Google), John Donovan, CTO, AT&T, Michael Abbott of Palm, Cole Brodman, [...]
How many downloads do iPhone apps get?
The eternal question.. answered directly by super-shit-hot UK developer, Simon Maddox, on the MoMo London email discussion this afternoon: Hey Will, My app, 0870, was accepted into the app store a week and a half ago after 429 days in review. I’m planning to release all of the stats on my blog, but here’s a [...]
Short Transmissions for Tuesday
Continuing our ‘news in brief’ feature for Tuesday, here’s what’s caught our attention at Mobile Industry Review Towers: Motorola’s Very Successful Developer Day Things appear to be going very well with Motorola’s new focus on Android — if the number of developers attending their MOTODEV summit are anything to go by.
Why the Ovi Store is still total bollocks
Yes I’m a fan. A big Nokia fan. Using my new N86 I’ve been thoroughly enjoying the background-processing abilities with the likes of Nimbuzz running along with Google Maps, ShoZu and so on. The camera is, of course, brilliant, too. But the Ovi Store? Oh dear. Here’s just one indication why it’s struggling.
Econet Telecom launches ForgetMeNot’s email-by-SMS service for Lesotho
For me, Africa is the content to watch for mobile innovation. Whilst there’s a lot moving in the Far East, I’m ever hopeful that the introduction of reliable and inexpensive communications facilities will really change things for the better. I received the following email from Mpine Tente. Mpine heads up the Retail and Customer Services [...]
The iPhone-powered heads-up-display Google Map for cyclists
Tom Chivers in today’s Telegraph features a rather interesting addition to the world of cycling. There are some particularly keen cyclists amongst the readers of Mobile Industry Review (notably, the chaps from Esendex who regularly cycle the length and breadth of the country) so I’ll be interested to see what they think of this innovation.
I’ve just been Audiobooed!
I met Karen Barber (@klbarber) from Audioboo and she invited me to record my first Audioboo message. I think it’s live now! I had a bit of a dig at the investors here in the UK…
Windows Mobile! Shame!
At the TechMediaInvest event this evening. I couldn’t believe it when I saw a chap using a Windows Mobile handset complete with sodding stylus. It should not be allowed. Posted via email from MIR Live
