Back from CNY, MMMOOO brings the new version of MyPhone, v2.50 to us. As you have known, MyPhone can simulate the iPhone UI on your Nokia N97. But the new MyPhone can do more than this. The guys at MMMOOO gives MyPhone lots of useful functions to make it more powerful such as realtime clock icon, RSS reader, games, Bubble SMS Thread. And a Calendar list and a translation functions are added in this version. With the powerful CPU of N97, MyPhone runs smoothly on it.

The Changelog in v2.50 is:

• Add calendar list function, a clear way to read your schedule
• Add translate function.
• Add Archery game, a game for you to kill the time.

If you have brought MyPhone previous version, you can upgrade to the new version from your MMMOOO Shop Accout for free. If not, you can purchase MyPhone here with only 12.99 USD. Or you can try it here before purchase. Continue reading…

As you are probably aware, a few weeks back we got the v21 firmware update for the N97. But this update was only available on certain product codes, the UK (0585162) one not being in there Any way, now we have the update available, get over to the Ovi Suite and get updating! I was however hit with a warning that the “Software updates server could not be reached” so you may have to keep trying until it lets you in.

UPDATE: The servers seem to be working fine now

I haven’t been able to update yet so a hands-on review of the new firmware is not available at this moment in time but I can tell you what is expected.

Hello all for another review on another great app. Today I’m going to talk about the eBuddy app for Symbian.

Yes yes, there are others such as Nimbuzz and Fring that offer much more functionality such as voice calling and video calling over Skype etc but unfortunately I can’t use these without Wifi – Yes that’s right, I’m with T-Mobile UK which unfortunately block the ports that these apps need.

The only two IM apps I can use are eBuddy and Palringo which are both great but I find that eBuddy just beats Palringo. Both these apps are free from their respective websites so get on down there and check them out, it can’t do any harm (links at the bottom)

With eBuddy you’ll need an eBuddy ID, it’s easy to register, and this ID will hold all the information for all your IM Services. eBuddy allows you to chat through MSN, Facebook, ICQ, AIM, GTalk etc. You can add as many accounts as you require.

Ever wanted to watch some TV on a train, LIVE? Okay, we’ve got iPlayer for recorded shows (and some Live shows) but we can’t use this over a 3G network but this technique is available over any network fast enough to run it.

You may have heard of this website, but even if you have then you might not know that you can view it on an N97. TVCatchup.com is the website I’m talking about of course – this website streams live UK freeview TV channels over the internet to its (free) registered members. Yes, unfortunately this means that you won’t be able to watch it unless you’re in the UK (Proxy anyone? ).

Have you ever have had your beloved Nokia N97 start to act up and not listen to your commands as quickly as you would like? If you’ve experienced these slow-downs in your phone, then rest assured, you are not alone and there are ways to boost the N97’s energy so it can behave like the premium flagship phone Nokia intends it to be. Though Nokia has released a firmware update that nicely patches up the initial problems these issues still arise due to the low hardware restrictions on the N97. First, we will look at what causes these problems, and then we’ll look at a couple of applications that can solve these problems. Continue reading…
