Nokia N96 Theme Review – Ovi

Name: Ovi

Creator: PiZero

Summary: It’s been a while since I posted any theme and I just happened to find this, PiZero‘s latest theme. If you have followed some of PiZero‘s themes you would know how high he is in the theme creator world so his latest theme for the nokia N96 should be great. The first impression I got from Ovi was that the background is very tidy but a bit on the dull side, then when you go into the menu that doesn’t matter because you can see how perfect it looks plain. Ovi comes with a brand new set of icons which fit in perfectly with design of the background.

Overview: Really I don’t think this is PiZero’s best work, I think its missing the artistic side of themes, just a little too clinical. That doesn’t mean its a bad theme, it only takes one look to see how good it is and its been out for just over a day and its had about 3,000 downloads so I’m sure lots of people will like it. Ovi is a free theme so you can all enjoy this great theme. Read more

Nokia N96 App Review – Lie Detector

Name: Lie Detector

Description: Lie Detector

Summary: I’m sure we all have seen these cheap lie detector toys that are just for a bit of fun, but it always sounds nice if you had a real one. Now there is a Lie Detector for your nokia n96 that will help you decided if someone is lying to you over the phone. Lie Detector in theory works but is far from perfect, Lie detector will analyse your conversation and then match your voice and remove it so it can tell if someones voice pitch changes. Leaving the only thing you have to do is remember when you asked the question. The application really only works on yes and no answer questions so it mite turn out like quite a funny call.

Overview: I tried this application but unless my girlfriend is a raisin it didn’t really work so I guess its just more of a gimmick application. I don’t think its really designed to a gimmick application but come on for a phone lie detector what exactly do you expect, also lie detector is a free application (I can’t confirm its a free application but I can’t find anywhere to buy it so it should be free) so you mite as well give it a go, it could be a good bit of fun.

Nokia N96 App Review – Midomi

Name: Midomi

Description: Song Search

Summary: The nokia N96 device is still known as one of the best media phones out and with the new firmware improving the sound quality I thought it would be a good idea to post something in this area. Midomi is a bit out there but it’s something a little special let me explain, what Midomi does is listen to your singing or humming and then finds out the name of the song. This type of software isn’t new I remember grace-note on a Sony ericsson doing the same. However this is the first one I found for symbian. Unlike grace-note Midomi will also download the song for you from its massive database. In theroy it one of the greatest applications ever but when it came down to singing I guess my voice isn’t good enough neither is my set of speakers so I don’t how I can get this application to work right. I still think that some people will have great use for it, I just didn’t.

Overview: If this application does exactly what it says it can do it will be so popular and I really hope it does. One thing that should interest people and that is that the application is free and you can sign up for Midomi for free with limited abilities but that’s fine. Real this could be a lot of peoples favorite application wont be mine until I learn how to sing. Read more
