Nokia’s Point and Find application has been updated today. The app is also now available globally. Here’s a bit of the blog post from BetaLabs : Let’s start with improvements to the user experience. We’ve fixed short of 100 bugs in network connectivity and overall stability of the client on some of our best-selling devices: N82, N95 8GB, N95, E71, E66, N81, N81 8GB, E51, 6220, 6210 Navigator, N97. Our hope is that the client will look more snappy and mature to you than its previous release, although some fixes had to be postponed. In particular: 1D barcode recognition in the shopping experience isn’t as reliable as we’d like it to be, especially on 3.1 devices; and start-up time on the 6220, 6210 Navigator is sluggish. Our R&D team is working on those issues now. We’ve also released a client for the N97 with a brand new UI that takes advantage of the device’s touch capabilities and large screen res (see a screenshot below). Give... details >>>

Earlier today, Spotify, the Music service that many have come to enjoy, released their Symbian Client.

Fresh from his last great Maemo 5 Theme, Tehkseven’s bought us another great creation in the form of his “Just Black” super lightweight theme : The theme weighs in at just 280Kb and uses default icons to keep its size down. I’ve always been a bit bothered by themes that are too big, and might hamper the performance of my device. Just Black is a refreshingly light theme that makes your S60 Symbian device look stylish, without affecting its performance at all. Not to mention, it looks pretty snazzy on a black color device like my N82 and N97. You can download Just Black over at TehkSeven’s Website.

When you first see the Nokia 5530 XpressMusic, you might not think much of it. “Oh here’s just another nice looking touch device“. But use it for a couple minutes, and you might be surprised by how neat the device is. Atleast I was. What got me so interested in this little Budget Touchscreen device ? Read on to find out. First up, we’d like to thank Nokia Conversations for sending us the Nokia 5530 XM to check out. We were honestly surprised by how much we liked the device, after using it. We’d also recommend reading our First Impressions of the 5530 XM before reading this review, so you have a good idea of what we thought of the device initially, and whether/how our opinion has changed now. The Nokia 5530 XM is positioned as a budget device, with a sweet (and pretty crisp) 2.9″ screen, in a pretty small monoblock form factor. The device is basically a cheaper version of the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, without GPS or ... details >>>

Thanks to Micky over at NokiaUsers, we’ve found out that an Official Windows Live Messenger Client has been released for S60v5 Touch devices (like the Nokia N97, 5800 XM, X6, etc), over on the Ovi Store. The client is available free from the Ovi Store, and as you’d expect, lets you login and chat with your Windows Live Messenger Contacts. Just like the non-touch version of the client, this adds a tab to your contacts application, so you can browse through your Windows Live Contacts, and also adds your Hotmail account to your Device’s Built-in Email App. You can download Windows Live Messsenger over at the Ovi Store.

MojosMobile recently released their new Google Reader application for Symbian, aptly called “gReader“.

Want to check it out ? You can download a Trial of gReader, or just buy the whole app (7.95 Euros) from the MojosMobile Website.

Earlier today, Opera went ahead and released their Opera Mobile v10 Beta Browser for S60 Symbian Mobile devices. What’s the difference between this and Opera Mini 5 ? Well for one thing, its a native Symbian application so its much faster than the Java Opera Mini app. Plus because of this, its also more responsive, uses the battery more efficiently and has a couple more features too, like selecting text, multiple Tabs and Adaptive Page Zoom. The browser works pretty darn well at rendering full pages. It rendered the full desktop version of the ZCJ homepage pretty fast. Unfortunately there’s no Flash support so you cant view Youtube videos, etc. It also seems to use up a lot more ram. You can read the full list of features, and download the app from the Opera Mobile 10 Beta Page. To download it straight to your device, just go to m.opera.com/mobile on your device browser.
