If you remember the Nokia Aeon concept, which can divide it’s touchscreen into different places, you will notice how this patent can become a reality, although in this simple diagram it looks incredibly weird. The design is called Jacobs Ladder flipping hinge arrangement. Mr Jacobs’ imagination might lead to a huge phone, especially if you consider that the device is supposed to open up like a Communicator.

Mark Guim from The Nokia Blog has persuaded us users to compile a list of our top ten must have, or the applications that we first install in our S60 phones. I haven’t written mine yet, but you most probably remember my N95 must have applications article (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3), I didn’t finish the series as I kept on installing more and more programs and the list would go on forever. However check below the blogs of people who have compiled their favourite applications list, and also let us know which one are your favourites!

• The Nokia Blog (Mark Guim)
• Nokia Addict (gerrymoth)
• IntoMobile (Stefan Constantinescu)
• Symbian in Motion (Zach Epstein) (Part 1, Part 2)
• S60 Blogger (Steve Rowlands)

If you have any more links let me know, and do not forget to tell us which ones are your favourites!

Nokia Maps v2.0 will be installed in the upcoming NSeries devices and other S60 phones as it has left beta stage and became a stable release. For those that haven’t downloaded (more than 240 000 downloads were made), the features are listed after the jump.

I was scrolling through my feeds, and I must have skipped AAS, as Ricky Cadden, the Guru from Symbian Guru told me that Nokia is locking NGage games to IMEI.

What this means is that once you buy a game for your phone, it stays ON THAT PHONE, which means that if you change phones, you cannot do anything to get it back, doesn’t work with actual licences or anything, it’s simply locked to the phone, pretty much what happens to the Nokia Maps licences, although you can transfer the IMEI if you request it.

All I ask is that you help to create some attention to Nokia, as one day, you will need this. So, NSeries or “NGagers”, pop in at the NGage forum thread, and post your views.

Tzer2 was the one who wrote the original article regarding this matter, so please read the post at All About NGage and get another idea of what is happening regarding NGage lock-to-IMEI issue.
