Need For Speed

For those who want to try out a new N-Gage game (and haven’t hacked their N96) thene there is a free trial of Need For Speed Underground on the N-Gage website.

The link to the trial game is here.

There is also a mini site dedicated to the game, which you can explore here.

By all accounts this is a good game, if driving games are your thing.

Nokia to close down Mosh free app site

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

Open for 2 years now the highly successful free file share site, Mosh, from Nokia, is reported to be coming to the end of its time.

For all of those partial to a free app or two, now is the time to head over to mosh.nokia.com and grab those apps before it is too late. Although there is no official date to close the site, it could be to tie in with the launch of OVI, in May.

More Nokia Firmware problems

Thursday, March 5th, 2009

At planet N96 we admit to being N96 focused, so offer no apologies that we have not picked up on the fact that the Nokia 5800 has been less than impressive, at least in the NAM market, where from this report, it seems the touchscreen 5800 has been taken off the shelves in America.

This may be some comfort to N96 owners, who have been through the anguish of waiting for Nokia to get the firmwear on their phones to a reasonable level, but does ask the question why Nokia can not devote sufficient testing to a device before it is released to the public.
