Ow Kah Leong's Nokia 808 PureView: One year on

In this feature, guest writer Ow Kah Leong rounds up a year of the Nokia 808 PureView as his principal phone, smartphone, camera and travel companion.

RubiBox (Box.com client) gets a major v2.0 update, multiple account support

Box.com (née Box.net) rarely gets the same press that DropBox or Google Drive get, but it's arguably just as useful. And you may not have remembered that there's a fairly fully featured Symbian client for this cloud storage service in the free (well, ... [Published All About Symbian - May 17 2013]

Shooting for the stars with the Nokia 808

Fresh from my (and others) attempts to capture the moon with the Nokia 808 PureView, I was interested to see that 808 photographer extraordinaire Richard Dorman has been going one step further and trying to capture the stars .

PhotProc brings professional image processing, but patience needed

Jaw-droppingly impressive. And jaw-droppingly impractical at the same time. But that's what you get for doing some incredibly maths-intensive work on a smartphone, even the 1.5GHz Nokia 808 PureView. The somewhat unimaginatively named PhotProc (I imagine ... [Published All About Symbian - May 16 2013]

Nokia Suite gets another big new stable release, v3.8 is a 'go'

Available now is a new release on the 'non-beta' track of Nokia Suite, v3.8.30, following the release of a 3.8 beta a month or two ago, with the main changes over the previous stable release, 3.7.22, being better SkyDrive migration and a mountain of 'reliability' ...

By popular demand... the 808 rematched with the SGS4, with no holds barred

My 5-camera 7-scene test , earlier this week, provoked a lot of comment along the lines of "ah, but you left the Nokia 808 on default settings for almost all of that, if you'd have used Creative mode properly, the 808 would have fared a lot better!"

SkyDrive uploader rolls out for the Nokia 808 and other Belle FP2 devices

You may remember that Nokia issued a rather primitive SkyDrive uploader for Symbian to Belle Refresh devices last year, followed up by a more polished version two months ago? The idea was to ease the uploading of contacts and photos to Microsoft's live.com, ... [Published All About Symbian - May 14 2013]

Purely as a link of interest for All About Symbian readers, who will be only too aware that I've compared the Lumia 920 to the best camera-centric smartphones from the Symbian world many times (usually unfavourably), worth noting that Nokia has just announced ...

BBC iPlayer licenses no longer being served to Symbian smartphones

Happily, in that story, I was able to share the small trick that still let users 'download' programmes ... [Published All About Symbian - May 11 2013]

"Our technology is not mutually exclusive with Nokia's. We can take elements of what they're doing and improve what we can do. There are some synergies that will lead to some pretty exciting possibilities that we're actually beginning to work on today, although I can't talk about it yet."

...(seemingly) of a new series over at My Nokia Blog, 'deaconclgi' has highlighted a long unsung hero of Symbian: its file system and File manager ( "Files' on newer phones). With iPhones and Windows Phones not having any user accessible file system, and with many Android phones not coming with a file manager at all, it's a timely reminder of how good Symbian S60 users have had it over the last ten years. Quotes below."
