My main phone is broken, and a replacement phone from one of my oomfies has not arrived yet.

I have an old touchscreen #Nokia phone with #Symbian 9.4. Can you recommend any simple games and puzzles to play while listening to podcasts?

The stuff I have in my drawers of geekery.

I used Symbian OS for years. It was a fantastic operating system which Nokia used a version of.

Me? Why I had a Psion Series 5 then a Nokia communicator. Until recently I used the series 5 as a clean and distraction free word processor. The keyboard is the best pocket keyboard ever made.

The Nokia 9210 Communicator , launched in 2001, was the first device to run on the Symbian OS . It famously appeared in the 2002 music video Dilemma by Nelly and Kelly Rowland , where Rowland used its Excel app to send a "message", sparking a lasting meme

feels so 2010:

es gibt wieder cross poster apps @openvibe

erinnerungen an gravity, damals noch auf #symbian.

Virtually Board Snowboarding for #Symbian s80 has finally been found! This is another thing that indirectly, but confirms that prototype of second part for #NGage may actually exist. By the way, developer of game is Springtoys Ink. And game is not written on x-forge. Info provided by Ink321.

Legend says the designer of this big chungus, often called "The Taco Phone", had lost all hope at getting an approval and just used goatse.cx as an inspiration. You're welcome, now you can't unsee this.

Let's make a simple Symbian app! Symbian OS ruled smartphones in the early 2000s—if you had a Sony Ericsson or Nokia, you probably used it. But by the decade's end, iOS and Android took over. Why do you think Symbian couldn't keep up?

Anyway, requiring stuff to be signed is idiotic. I'd love to keep developing for my #blackberry but thanks to the idiotic requirements of developer certificates and signed applications it is now impossible as the vendor has closed the signing services. And there is no workaround afaik.
Same with #symbian I think.
There will be no #retrocomputing with these devices now or in the future.

Ten years ago Microsoft absorbed the handset division of Nokia. The world's biggest operating systems vendor was going mobile in a big way, and buying the erstwhile world leader in mobile phones to ensure its success.

Barely two years after it was announced, the whole thing fell apart and Microsoft wrote the whole thing off as a tax loss.

Two more planned #Nokia N-Gage launch titles that had prototypes done but never made it past that:

Bounce and Kart Racer (or Kart Racing, depending on the source)

Anyone out there with contacts to former staff members of #Kuju Entertainment? If so, please get in touch with me. I'm especially interested in getting in contact with Adrian B. (no, not Adrian Black )

Please boost. Thanks.
