"I ♥ Symbian" T-Shirt

2009-11-08T10:59:22+02:00

Yesterday I passed the clothes accessories store and found the alphabet laminate plate. So I bought it and sticked it on my blank T-Shirt with the hot iron. And at last, here it is:

Look great? (Please see only T-Shirt, don't look at that man!) I don't know what you think but I like it ^ ^

Need one? It's quite easy to do, I did it in just 5 mins! So let do it by yourself and show us yours!

Video Clip from Nokia USA : 'What is an "Unlocked" Device'

2009-07-29T00:52:56+03:00

I don't know the objective of this clip but I guess that it should relates with huge number of USA users that use locked device. :)

Nokia 5800 latest firmware v30.0.011

2009-07-23T17:19:38+03:00

I just finished updating my Nokia 5800 to latest firmware version v30.0.011.

Unfortunate that I still don't have the official change log but after testing it by my own, I didn't see any obviously change but I feel that it's much stable than previous one. However, new version should be better than older one, right? ;)

It's still not available from OTA update and also Nokia Software Updater. I flashed it with Nokia Phoenix software. And as I know, it's already available in Nokia Care in Thailand. So, please contact your local Nokia about this.

Good luck!

2009-05-13T05:50:40+03:00

Hi All,

It's such a long time I didn't publish any video. The word 'busy' is not enough for me for a while. However, I still be able to find some time gap to develop something cool. Here it is, I proudly present my 6th Neu Project, NeuRoom. It's the home appliance control system via Nokia 5800. Actually I have been used it for 2 months already but I just have time to make the video presentation yesterday. It's so useful. Honestly, I like it so much and I strongly believe that wireless home electronic appliance control system via mobile phone will be neccessary thing in the near future for sure. Everything has beed described in video, let's see it.

Cheers,

NeuSenseEngine : Multi-Point Touch Screen Engine for S60 5th

2009-03-03T11:25:13+02:00

Hi,

Resistive Touchscreen is not possible to make Multi-Touch service? I don't think so. Please check this video!

NeuSenseEngine is a Multi-Point Touch Screen Engine for S60 5th. It allows user to Multi-Point touching on the screen even it's a resistive type. However, this engine has some limitation. The point's position has to be fixed and you can't move your fingers around to make service like picture zooming in/out.

Incidentally, I also found some of similar thing to NeuSenseEngine from Symbian Freak. You should check it. It's quite cool and interesting game. ;)

Great success of Nokia 5800 in Thailand

2009-02-20T17:47:43+02:00

Today is the first day that Nokia 5800 has been sold for the one who reserved for it in Thailand.

Nokia 5800 is the most wanted phone ever for Thai people. I must admit that I have never seen any phone that have very great feedback like this.

The phone started selling at 1.00 PM but let guess when the first one come to queue? ... 5.00 AM!! He is the student that wait 5800 for a long time. Congratulations, at last you owned it. ;)

Although the air temperature is quite hot (35C) but they are willing to wait. Thanks Nokia Thailand for well management. They have food for the customer in queue all the time. If who get tired or feel hot, they also have refreshing towel for free too! Wow! However, they are nearly no need since the queue went quite fast because of hundred of cashier counters Nokia managed for customer.

Not only well managed event is, but well designed too. I like this demo booth much!

The event was very big and professional. Staffs are very professional and have good knowledge on Nokia 5800.

Till now, more than three thousands Nokia 5800 have already been sold. And it's out of stock now. (As I said, it's for one who reserved for it only.) Wow! This is only the first day. They will be available for general users in next few days.

Congratulations once again to Nokia for great success. Your phone are rock!

Here it comes: Nokia 5800 Firmware Update v20.0.012

2009-02-09T19:43:31+02:00

At last, long await firmware update for Nokia 5800 was released already.

If you have 5800, just do the following steps to update your phone.

0. Make sure that your battery is full (VERY IMPORTANT)

1. Go to Dial screen and press *#0000#

2. Press Options -> Check for updates

3. Connect to the internet with any APN (WiFi is recommended, however EDGE is fast enough for this)

4. Wait until the download finished. Phone will launch the dialog asking for update, just press Now.

5. Press Accept and Accept and the phone will be switched to Updating mode

6. It takes around 10 minutes to update, so be patient. After that, the phone will be rebooted automatically.

7. Check by *#0000# again. Congrats! Your 5800 is now v20! :D

As I can see, there are so many improvement and worth to update for example, ability to take a picture from front camera and the phone operates faster than previous version. ;)
