I think it passed long time since we haven’t talk about a game. Today I found a really nice one. When you’re bored and you want to play a game on your Nokia N97, I think that the best games in that situations are the action games or at least this is what I prefer.

You can become really fast addicted to it because you want to beat others players records.

Avoid broken platforms, black holes, UFO’s and baddies. Blast them with your nose balls in this incredibly addictive game!

It’s a very cheap game and I think you should try it. You can get it from here for $0.89

SymRDP

This item was filled under [ applications, reviews ]

SymRDP Remote Desktop Protocol is a technology that allows you to use your mobile phone and connect to a remote computer in a different location. For example, you can connect to your work computer from your mobile phone and have access to all of your programs, files, and network resources as though you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and then, when you get home, you can see your work computer’s desktop displayed on your phone, with the same programs running.

SymRDP allows you to get full advantage of having a touch-screen on your phone during an RDP session with your remote computer through the following services:

- it naturally allows you to use a stylus (or even a finger) as a PC mouse;
- it gives you convenient access to any part of your PC screen via habitual PC-like scrolling;
- it provides a virtual touch-screen-based standard 84-keys PC keyboard for symbol input;
- if your phone has a physical keyboard it adjusts it to become a PC keyboard as much as possible;

What do you need to do? Just go ahead and enjoy the power of remote access to anywhere from your pocket.

And one more thing is there, If you had any previous experience with something like VNC-based Remote Desktop applications for a phone (which, in general, are very good for phones without a touch-screen), please, forget it from now onwards – it will not be useful for your touch-screen phone with SymRDP, but it can catch you in a cage of old-fashion stereotypes (like “moving cursor on the screen”and many more) that have no room in the real touch-screen world any more.

Today I was searching on ovi store for a nice app and I found one very useful, It helps you keep your phone secure.

Spam Killer is SMS firewall that kills spam and junk messages before they reach your inbox thus filtered messages do not disturb you. Spam SMS is automatically placed into Spam folder, kept there for several days (customizable) and erased automatically after.

You do not want to buy recla watches and viagra, get a diploma today or “win” a lottery you never took part in? Try Best Spam Killer and you won’t have to waste your time on such junk. My opinion is that it makes all the money.

This app isn’t free but I think isn’t so expensive. It costs $2.65 and you can get it from here

Nokia N97 vs BlackBerry Bold 9700

This item was filled under [ Specs ]

First of all I have to say that BlackBerry Bold 9700 is newer than Nokia N97. Nokia N97 have been announced in 2008 November while BlackBerry Bold 9700 have been announced in 2009 October which is quite a big difference.

Nokia N97 weights 150 grams while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 is lighter weighting 122 grams. I think that isn’t a big difference.

When we talk about colors, Nokia N97 is leading with 16M colors while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has only 65k colors. Nokia N97 has a 3.5″ 640×480 touch screen display while the BlackBerry Bold 9700 has a 2.44″ 480×366 display.

Both phones are featuring full physical qwerty keyboard but the Nokia N97 has also the feature of hand writing because of the touch screen but i tell you that I personally tested that and it is a good feature but it takes too much to write something of at least if you’re not used it.

Looking at the prices for a new unlocked Nokia N97 are starting from $480 while the prices for a new unlocked BlackBerry Bold 9700 are starting from $430 so there is not a big difference talking about the prices.
