Multiple Homescreen in N97
Apr 1st
Unlike a few months back, N97 now has a lot of homescreen widgets and hardly and space to put them.
I’m currently using the clock widget, two shortcut bar, favourite contacts, music player and email.
I want to add so much more. I want to add Nokia Bots, accuweather, calendar, gravity, share location, techbuzz widget etc. But there is only one homescreen which holds six widgets.
I asked Steve Litchfield and Tim Salmon if Nokia would add multiple homescreen in future firmware update. They said it is possible but they doubt it.
Sense UI is so cool with seven homescreen.
I would be satisfied if Nokia added two more homescreen to N97.
N97 vs. E72 camera test
Mar 21st
As promised in the first part, here is the camera test images. The images on the left was captured in E72 and the images on the right was taken on N97. No sophisticated method is used, I’ve simply asked my friends and family which image was better after showing them images from both the smartphones side by side.
This Image was taken in low light. flash was fired. N97’s image looks better.
Whereas on this image E72 taken on close-up with no flash E72 fared better than N97
This image was taken on low light with flash, here also N97’s image is better than E72’s.
It’s hard for me to decide which one is better, N97’s image is a bit darker. Which one is better according to you???
In this image two of them are almost similar.
Both the images were taken with flash in semi-dark conditions and I think E72 fared better.
some more random images taken on E72 -
This is the first camera test I’ve done and I did not know how exactly to do this so please tell me if there are any mistakes, comments and suggestions are always welcome. I’ll try to improve things next time.

A look at WordPress 0.5.4
Mar 17th
A new version of Symbian WordPress client was released yesterday.
It is a bit more stable and has got editing features like Bold, italics,
quote
and the ability to add link
With WordPress running I had 33 MB left which is good but I think it can be further improved to consume even less memory. My phone didn’t crash even when I had 2-3 apps running along with WordPress app.
Some problems I faced are -
1. long pressing the keys no longer brings symbol, was this feature there in earlier built? I don’t remember. N97 can type symbols with long press of keys but it’s not working with this app.
2. The app needs to be faster, smoother.
3. switching between landscape and portrait is still not smooth. and the phone is slow for 10 seconds after closing the app.
Some improvements/features needed -
1. Copy/paste please. I cannot write huge/lengthy links.
2. lists?
3. I think stats are coming in the next release.
4. I think adding photos should be made like default photo gallery format. It would be much simpler when we have thousands of photos in gallery.
5. An option to view the post with all the formatting, images and links.
If other beta testers and people who are looking forward to using this app when it’s out of beta can think of some other features that WordPress Symbian app should have, feel free to comment below. I will add it to this list.
Thank You.

P.S. I posted the whole thing via the WordPress Symbian app. I only made some chages to images via desktop.
