GLOBAL – New to the Ovi Store this week comes an app that could well change the way we use our devices to interact. The latest update to the uber-popular VoIP app Fring comes with the facility to video chat with Skype users (using the Skype API) from your mobile. What makes this different, and utterly unique (and potentially ground-breaking) is that the other user doesn’t have to be on their mobile – yep, you can video call from your mobile to someone on their desktop (and vice versa).

GLOBAL – This week the Nokia X6 hits the streets around the world, just in time to find its way into numerous Christmas stockings, no doubt. One of the most exciting new devices this year will find itself on shop shelves this Friday, going on sale in the UK and Finland.
We only saw the X6 for the first time at Nokia World two months ago, but we were immediately impressed, and everything we’ve heard since about this music-loving masterpiece has only increased our admiration. It looks gorgeous, it’s got a great touchscreen, a top-notch camera, bags of on-board storage and puts a world of music at your fingertips thanks to Comes With Music.
In fact, with so many boxes on our smartphone wishlist firmly checked, we’ve increasingly been asking ourselves what it is about the X6 we’re looking forward to the most. So we decided to ask you, the Conversations faithful: if you had to pick out one (or two, or three – you have choices) aspect of the Nokia X6 you think is the most important or the most impressive, what would it be – and why? The poll is below, and the comments are below that. Enjoy.
GLOBAL – The Royal Artist Club was first introduced five years ago. Designed as a place for bands to blog about what was going on in their worlds (this is pre Facebook, MySpace et al going big) the premise was pretty simple – Nokia gave the bands devices to blog with, they wrote stuff, it was posted on the RAC site. Today though, things are different. The bands who started blogging all those years ago, are now all over social networks and although with a healthy online presence, it tends to be a bit fragmented. That’s where the Royal Artist Club comes in. Again. Continue reading>>
GLOBAL – We’ve been having some fun with the Nokia N900. Every day we’re publishing a new video based on what you said you’d like to see it do. This week we’ve mostly been playing with the battery (in a cool stop motion animation mini movie type of thing), making calls and monitoring data usage, getting hot and sweaty running up hills to test a GPS app, seeing how easy it is to nab podcasts and streaming online video to big tellies. If you haven’t seen these yet, then click through for two and a half minutes of N900 fun.
GLOBAL – The Way We Live Next: Nokia in 2015 teaser video has been a huge talking point here on Conversations, with any number of tantalising products and services to potemtially look forward to in the future.
Last week we asked you to single out which part of the video particularly impressed you. With so many great highlights to choose from, it’s no surprise that the voting was evenly spread, but with the poll now closed, it’s time to take a look at the results.
