@ajsadauskas @JessTheUnstill also #BlackBerry's #PlayBook #Tablet was released as a accessory screen for their Phones, which gave it "#WiiU-Effect" in terms of marketing.

  • Plus #RIM relying hard on business clients and their proprietary applianced mail systems and having big carriers upsell to business people made them look outdated & quite literally out of touch once #iPhone went mainstream.

I mean, the hardware was never their problem and #SMS-Typists swear by their #BlackberryCurve's #keyboard but BlackBerry's #toolchain - just like #SymbianOS's - was just hideous to the point that devs like @fuchsiii didn't even want to try making #Apps for those devices.

  • Unlike #Mozilla fucking up #FirefoxOS by refusing to sell devices to #developers, by the time RIM & #Nokia came from their high horses, their market shares had been squeezed into mere "rounding errors" by #iOS and #Android as it was way cheaper and easier to get #Apps developed, tested, sold, bought and use them than on their devices.

#Sony even released some #Symbian #S60 devices but since they didn't have the same signing keys, one couldn't even #sideload apps (not to mention they didn't had the #OviStore on those either!)...

Maybe Brutaldon (at the end of the page I linked)? I've had some success using it on Opera Mini, on an Nokia S40 smartphone (not even Symbian OS), since it doesn't seem to use JavaScript

If S60's native browser supports JavaScript (the one ported to Nokia C3-00 did, and wasn't even Symbian), another set of possibilities awaits

for the third time in a row the battery of my #CAT #S60 mobile phone blows up.

First two replacements were within the warranty/responsibility of my former employer.

Now that I inherited the phone which I occasionally use as my #FLIR camera, I want to replace the battery with a solid #18650cell . Will be fun adopting the connector though.

What might CTL and TH be?

TH likely is the 10k NTC to P-
But what is CTL?

Between 2002 and 2004, #Ubisoft had a service in the UK called uPlay Mobile (yes, uPlay - a name they would later recycle). Over this service, you could buy & download mobile games for your phone. There were even "physical" copies you could buy in stores, but these were just empty boxes with a download code.

That service is long gone and so is access to the games. People sometimes offer the empty game boxes on eBay for crazy prices claiming they are for the Nokia N-Gage - but they are not. They are Java MIDlets, so not even native #S60 apps. They run of course on the N-Gage, too.

Anyway, before this is getting too long: while doing research on something else, I was able to get in touch with a person who was involved in this. And he had a nice archive of many of the uPlay Mobile games that he backed up back in the day. Not all of the 20+ games, but a good part of it. I'm not sure if these are already preserved yet - I have to look into this.

More to come!

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. 🙂

@benbrown what i was really interested in but my rep couldn't get me a prototype for was the one Series 90 device they ever shipped to my knowledge. they instead released some equally sad performing hardware that basically ran linux on one or two SKUs before bagging that too.

check this fscker out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_77

they moved some of the S90 buzz into the S60 platform but by that point i had _HAD IT_ with #Nokia AND #S60.

@benbrown i remember you were on that train. i went the symbian/UIQ route, the Danger hardware was bad but at least they weren't decoupled entirely from software like those bozos at SE and Nokia. they never made a single #S60 or #UIQ device that was performant. they were all sluggish slow expensive trinkets. didn't stop me from buying a lot of them. i still have a 9500 #S80 device somewhere i plan to threaten my children with if their phone becomes a problem! #parenting

Das hier, oder auch dass 1/3 des FV dennoch ausfällt, veranschaulicht den vorherrschenden #Fachkräftemangel eigentlich sehr schön.

Die Leute machen im normalen Betriebsalltag so viele Überstunden, quasi ohne geregelte Möglichkeiten zum Abbau, dass das der erste Gedanke ist

QT SBahn_Stuttgart: ℹ️ Morgen, Montag 15. Mai verkehren #S1, #S2, #S3, #S4, #S5, #S6 und #S60 im Stundentakt, #RB11 und #RB64 regulär.

Also was mich an den Notfallkonzepten ja nervt ist, dass man für Störungen die erst hinter'm Abzweig am Pragtunnel sind keinen Plan vorhält und nutzt bei dem auch mal S4/5 in Nord Gbf wenden und stattdessen die S6 weiter durchfährt 😑

Kann doch nicht so schwer sein 👀
