eBay to eliminate listing fees for casual sellers {Download Squad}
May 12th 2009 10:14PM Ha ha what a joke. eBay does all it can to support the "storefront" eBay user and THIS is the concession for the little guy? Craigslist must be killing them, and good riddance.
Nokia's Ovi Store said to be launching with 20,000 'items,' unknown number of apps {Engadget Mobile}
May 10th 2009 10:31AM A FB app would be nice but I'm hoping for an updated *email client*. The same old klunky email from 2003 is making me crazy. I'd cough up $50 for that new e75 email client that I can install on my e66.
Also a smart access point manager to auto-select WiFi/3g/Edge (the birdstep one crashes) like some Nseries devices have would be worth some cash.
If I can't add significant benefits to my Nokia device with items from the Ovi store then Nokia's chances in the smartphone world are sunk.
Anyone know a target date for it opening? I was hoping for May 1st...
How would you change Nokia's 5800 XpressMusic? {Engadget}
Apr 28th 2009 4:15PM Apart from the physical changes the real change needed is in Nokia's refusal to update it's phones with new features. S60 will be left in the dust as iPhone and Android add features to existing phones and Nokia does not.
Nokia hooks N78 up with another update, still hates the North American version {Engadget Mobile}
Jul 21st 2008 3:11PM Nokia support responds:
"We understand you are inquiring about a firmware upgrade for your Nokia N78-3 device.
James, firmware on Nokia mobile phones is only updated when the update would correct a problem on the phone itself. Firmware upgrades are not updated to add features to the phone.
Your Nokia N78-3 device has been in market since June, there has not been any determination for need of a firmware upgrade."
So it turns out we're all just imagining the problems.

Jul 21st 2008 2:57PM Check the thickness of the N82. They look to have similar specs but the N78 is a pocket-able phone, the N82 is a brick.

Jul 17th 2008 2:56PM Darn right NAM needs an update, I've got non stop issues with bluetooth and IMAP email.
S60 is looking more and more like a house of cards - every little update has ripples all through the system.
Should USA users expect OTA updates like Europe or by the (recently broken for a week) Software Updater? Should we expect it in 6 hours, 6 days or 6 weeks? Helllloo Nokia?
Oh and can people talk about a mobile phone without the obligatory Apple fan-boy iPhone comment?

The Joy and Sorrow of IMAP - Emailers Anonymous {Download Squad}
Feb 29th 2008 11:19AM You might mention that POP clients go haywire and lose mail too. I've seen more mail lost with POP clients than IMAP.
Also good chance to mention an excellent free IMAP backup program, mailstore.
