TamsS60 - the S60 Blog

Dear Readers,
I have to apologize on behalf of the brainsware and tamoggemon content teams for the recent lack of updates and quirks with the comment functionality.

However, our host has decided to migrate us to a new server which is more resistant to DDOS attacks after the recent brawl over a bunch of Olympus E520 sample images.

Anyways, all should now be working a-ok again - in case you note any issues, please let us know ASAP!

Best regards and sorry
Tam Hanna

After not having anything to give away last Sunday(sorry), I am proud to present you this week’s giveaway!

Paragon Group has provided us with free licenses for HandyWeather, an excellent weather program for mobile devices(TamsS60 review here)! We can give away licenses for Palm OS, Windows Mobile and S60 devices, and hope to do so next Saturday.

In case you feel like claiming one of the licenses for yourself, please visit the forum thread linked below and tell us which device you have!

Dear Readers,
it’s now time for our first-ever S60 phone review - so far, our sister sites saw the use of a few standard benchmarks(for a few years now).

Thus, we would like to ask you all - which benchmarks would you like us to use? Any favorites? Developers, any custom benchmarks you want us to use?

Please talk back!
Tam Hanna and the Tamoggemon team

Dear Readers,
please accept our apologies for the downtime yesterday evening!

Our web hosting company, brainsware, has performed various optimizations on the server that hosts the Tamoggemon content network. These optimizations have become necessary due to our explosive growth in the last months - a big thank you to all those of you who keep visiting us and talking back!

Anyways, the new server system should now serve pages significantly faster, leading to a greatly improved overall surfing experience - both we and brainsware are perfectly aware of our sub-par loading times in the last few weeks; and are actively working to improve the situation!

Best regards
Tam Hanna and the Tamoggemon/brainsware teams

Dear Readers,
the Nokia Press team hast just informed me that the 6650 does run S60v3 after all:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your message.

Nokia 6650 user interface is S60 3rd Edition.

Kind regards,
Piia

I apologize for posting wrong information, but - as already said - the press release did not mention S60 anywhere….

Dear Readers,
yours truly will be in Hannover this Friday. I will attend the following tradeshows and would be happy see one or more of you:

The CeBit

First of all, I will definitely attend the CeBit - which is one of the biggest computer fairs worldwide. Expect loads of hands-on pictures and interviews to leak out in the coming months!

The German Palm User Meeting

This year, Tamoggemon Software will have a stand at the Germany-Wide Palm User Meeting in Hannover. Please stop by for a chat, to have a play with a load of devices, and maybe even for a fun game! Of course, non-palm-users are also whole-heartedly invited!

The box pictured below is very afraid of being thrown into the bin by this lovely critter - she has grown tired of it sitting on our TV set and now wants to throw it out:

Please have mercy with the box - it contains a perfectly-ok and completely unused Brando Mobile Phone Telescope for Nokia N73. It was used for this review and has been sitting on said TV ever since:

I am now willing to give it away for free to anyone who is willing to cover the posting fees(about 7€, can be paid via PayPal).

Jokes and Doris aside…our friends at Brando’s have allowed me to give away this sample as I personally don’t have an N73. In case you feel like giving it a pop, just email me at Tamog@gmx.at and we’ll figure out how to get it to you the fastest/cheapest way.

Dear Readers,
a longer Tam-Hanna-Away usually means that I am either sick or working on something - this time, the latter has been true.

Let’s all give a warm welcome to TamsWMS - the Windows Mobile Smartphone blog. This web site brings all the content you know and love at TamsPalm, TamsPPC and TamsS60 to the Windows Mobile Smartphone platform.

TamsWMS launches with world-exclusive life pictures of a prototype of the Asus M930i in action - let’s hope that TamsWMS becomes the same runaway success that our other sites were!

Best regards and thank you!
Tam Hanna

Dear Readers,
I wanted to apologize once again for the technical problems - brainsware fixed the issues shortly after my initial post.

All systems should be up and running again as of now - if you encounter any more bugs, please send me an email via Tamog@gmx.at!

Best regards
Tam Hanna

Dear Readers,
this is a quick ping to inform you that we have performed a network-wide update of our content management software. TamsPalm, TamsPPC and TamsS60 are now powered by WordPress 2.3.2.

These updates are necessary in order to keep the content network secure, as each new release fixed security problems found in the last.

As always, please leave a comment or send an email to Tamog@gmx.at if you have any issues!

Sorry for any inconveniences
Tam Hanna
