Ovi Maps (free navigation) hits the Nokia N97

Despite expectations that Ovi Maps 3.3 with free navigation would hit the Nokia N97 in a firmware update, it has popped up on Software Update (in the Applications folder) anyway as a 8MB download. Obviously, it's not recommended if you're starting off with less than about 30MB of free space on disk C: - in which case, you're better off waiting for it in a firmware release. Do please comment if you spot this for another Nokia phone that wasn't previously covered!

Add YouTube, Facebook, Picasa and Twitter to Nokia Shareonline

There's a nice tutorial at nokiausers.com on how to configure Nokia's Shareonline service to add Youtube, Facebook, Picasa and Twitter (as well as the default Ovi, Vox and Flickr services).

First - signup online for the sites you want to add (YouTube, Picasa, Twitter etc...). If you already have logins to these you are good to go to setup Shareonline:

1. On your Nokia mobile phone web browser go to http://furtiv.mobi/beta_instructions.html, or scan the following QR Code to take you direct to download the Shareonline config files for YouTube, Picasa, etc...
   
   
   
   



2. Now click on each of the links you want to setup on Shareonline


3. After download, switch to Shareonline on your phone, select the new 'ready for activation' services, login to each and they will be activated


4. Happy Mobile sharing!
