 We're all looking forward to the full release of Maps 3.0, it's been a long time in the works. Nokia have released a new software called Maps Updater, which obviously updates your Nokia Maps, but it's surprisingly an .exe, which is a PC only file. But if you're like me, and own a Mac and haven't bothered with dual boot, how on earth do you get maps 3.0 on to your handset?
Well officially you can't. However, looking further in to the app, all it actually does is install a .sis file. With a bit of craft and trickery we've managed to intercept the .sis file, it's called Nokia_Maps_3.01_2401_5.0_u.sis. So if you're like me, and own a mac but keen to get Maps 3.0, I've included the file at the bottom of the post.
The process of getting the .sis file wasn't particularly difficult, but that isn't the point, is it? If you're curious as to how I got the file, I simply fired up Maps Updated on a PC, and as soon as it downloaded the update, before I clicked through to your device to proceed with the install, I searched the hard drive for new *.sis files and there it is.
I'm hoping Nokia release a Java version of the updater, so that we don't have to go through this process each time Maps is updated

 Ricky from Symbian Guru has just notified me that Mobbler has JUST been updated and guess what? they've added support for touch screen phones, including support for gesture control.
Mobbler is a Last.fm player for Symbian devices. Last.fm keeps track of the music you listen to, known ’scrobbling’ it. You can scrobble your music from an array of devices from desktop to mobile. Last.fm has a community of millions.
The Nokia N97 version includes some neat features, such as being able to skip tracks by simply swiping the album art from side-to-side. Other features include the ability to set an alarm to get Last.fm to play at a set time and destination support. The Mobbler app runs quietly in the background of your series 60 device, reporting on your listening habits. |

 A couple of weeks ago, Vodafone and Nokia announced at a conference that only the black Nokia N97 would be available at launch. At the time I made a prediction that the white N97 would be a network exclusive. According to Pocket Lint the Phones4u have the exclusive for 8 weeks.
The retailer will also be offering the black N97 too at launch. The N97 will be available for free on a £40 plus a month, 2-year contract with Orange, as well as a £45 a month, 18-month contract and for £100 on a £35 a month, 18-month contract. The latter comes with 600 minutes, with the other two offering 1200. 3000 texts come bundled with all the packages. |

One of our forum members spoke to a rep from Nokia's flagship store who claimed they'll be receiving N97 stock tomorrow, June 9th.
He then rang Nokia's customer care, who also claimed the N97 orders will be shipping tomorrow.
If this is true, it will be 10 days earlier than the UK, who's first N97's will be sold via the flagship store in Regent Street, London on the 19th. |
