Nokia announced today that a United States International Trade Commission (ITC) judge issued an Initial Determination in favour of Nokia in the action brought by InterDigital against Nokia. The case, filed by InterDigital, alleged that Nokia infringed four patents that InterDigital asserts to be essential for the UMTS (3G) mobile standard. The judge found that there is no infringement of the four alleged patents and therefore, Nokia is not in violation of section 337 of the Tariff Act.
Our own forum member tha_neo has published a new version of his FREE Caller ID application “Trucaller” for Symbian and Windows Mobile phones. TrueCaller is a caller ID application which shows you who the caller is if you don´t have the number saved in your phone book. TrueCaller is supported by more than 100 devices and runs in the background and activates on incoming phone calls and text messages (SMS). Note that you’ll need a working 3G connection to use this application
This is how TrueCaller works
1. You receive a phone call from a number that is not saved in your phone book
2. TrueCaller searches for the number in our databases
3. If TrueCaller finds the number it will be displayed on your screen. If number is not found you will be prompted, “No matches found…”
4. When phone call has ended TrueCaller will ask you if you want to save the caller to your phone book (if the caller is found)
The new version 1.10 is now also fully Symbian signed.
Symbian version will include:
Full country char support (Israel etc)
Symbian S60 v5 UI compability
Feedback button directly in the application -Hide application from the tray -Improved update function -Some bugfixes concerning connections -Faster performance

This is a video review for DC Mugen’s Epikcase Pro for the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music. Epikcases are made out of resin instead of silicone. Therefore, they offer the same protection as silicone cases, except they will not slip off or stick to your pockets. This video was created by NokiaChannel.com, which is still in its very early beta stages.
