Nokia Messaging for IM has been around for quite a long time but was only supported by S60 3rd edition devices until today. The Finnish company finally released a special version of the instant messaging client for S60 5th edition phones, allowing users to chat directly from their phone using an official application. The client can handle Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, Windows Live Messenger and Ovi Chat but does not support audio and video call features.

When Nokia and Intel announced they merged their mobile platforms, most of Nokia fans were really excited to see what the next generation of Maemo devices will provide and how it will look like. Many of them, including myself, were expecting the Finnish manufacturer to bring this new platform to the N900 and therefore update the device before even releasing MeeGo powered devices. However, Nokia officially made it clear that they will not do such a thing and keep this OS for new devices only.

NokiaLB Readers may think at times that this website is designed as another PR tool by Nokia. It is in fact not so. This site is run by people convinced that Nokia’s products are of an excellent quality and they serve the needs of the users; however, when there are cases to criticize, we will not shy from it.

So bearing that in mind, the Internet is full of material on the Nokia N8, one of Nokia's major launches for this year. We wish them all the best in doing their final touches until its release later this year, third quarter to be exact, but we do hope that this does not turn into another N97 fiasco.

All of us at NokiaLB believe that Ovi Maps is definitely an awesome navigation solution that helps many users everyday to get to their destination. We were lately telling you how to easily find a Lebanese POI and integrate it into Ovi Maps, let's now talk about the benefits of using the free navigation application for everyday use or for occasional navigation. We will compare Nokia's free solution with the only other reliable Lebanese navigation system, NavLeb, and analyze which one is better and accurate. Also, keep in mind we tested both of the solutions recently in Lebanon and are definitely able to tell you which system is the best.
