Nokia Beta Labs has recently launched an application ‘Nokia Diagnostics v1.0‘ for performing diagnostic checks on your mobile phone. This application does not have a lot of significant functionalities as of now but with this prototype Nokia is planning to build a solution for people where in they can troubleshoot their phone all by themselves. Nokia 5800 is completely supported by this application. Currently, this application does some basic checks on your phone which even you can do without this application.

Network Coverage Test

Internet Access Test

Loudspeaker Test

Earpiece Test

Battery Charger Test

You can check if your ear-piece is working fine or not. In order to judge this, the application plays your current ringtone which you have to judge if are able to hear or not. Then, to check the loudspeaker, it plays the same ringtone on your loudspeaker and asks you if you are able to hear or not. It can check for network coverage and signal strength. It also checks if your charger is functioning correctly or not and if your phone is getting charged. It also checks your internet connectivity. This application may sound useless for a lot of us but trust me there is surely an audience for such an application.

All tests passed

With time Nokia Beta Labs plans to add more sophisticated features to this application so that you and me can skip a lot of calls to Nokia Care Center spent in getting answers to some very basic problems that are faced in day to day use of Nokia 5800.

Yearning for high speed internet-on-the-go? In case tethering from that unlimited plan of your mobile line is not your cup of tea, then we might have something for you- Mobile Broadband.

Mobile Broadband is one of the easiest ways of accessing the web especially for people who are on-the-move. It connects a variety of internet capable devices including laptops, portable music players and gaming devices to the web. Now that you know you what Mobile Broadband is, let us see how to get one for your use via our friends in UK- Mobile Broadband UK, after the break though.

As you might have guessed by now, mobile broadband connects to the internet via a Mobile Broadband modem, which surprisingly is no bigger than a typical flashdrive. It’s kinda amazing how a device as small as your thumb (may be probably smaller) can bring the world of world wide web to your laptop on-the-move.

Now you would be asking yourself where and how to get one and this is where Mobile Broadband UK pitches in with an exhaustive compilation of mobile broadband packages from six major service providers in the UK including 3, Orange, O2, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile and Vodafone. The site not only gives you a comparison of the latest data packages from the providers but also gives you access to some discount coupons and special offers.

With data packages starting from as little as £12/month, this may just be the right time to get that high speed on-the-go internet connection. So waste no time and rush to Mobile Broadband, to chose the right package for you for when it comes to internet, there is no one-size-fits-all solution.

Furtiv Beta enables Nokia Share Online to be able to upload pictures/videos to Facebook, Twitter, Picasa Web Albums and You Tube. I really admire that this being made available by Furtiv and Nokia did not even think about it. Moreover, this is a free service so everyone can benefit from this. Furtiv Beta plugin for Nokia 5800 allows you to upload your pictures and videos without having to install or signup with any third party software company. Just visit Furtiv and download some configuration files to your phone and activate the services and you are done. Please find below a detailed guide on using Furtiv to upload from your phone using the inbuilt Nokia Share Online.

1. Visit http://furtiv.mobi on your phone’s browser. You will find four different links for downloading settings for Facebook, Twitter, Picasa and You Tube respectively.

http://furtiv.mobi

2. Clicking on each of these links will download configuration files that are saved automatically to Nokia Share Online on your phone. You will observe a confirmation message - ‘File saved to Share online’ upon each file download.

3. After you are done with the step above, from you phone’s home-screen,  activate the media bar and click on the third icon - Nokia Share Online.
