Themes: Woodberry by O3one Kinetics – Free for limited time at Ovi Store

Hello Folks. As I said in the last theme post:

Today we’ll be showing quite a bit of themes that DM tipped us yesterday. Since I may not be on a computer until evening GMT time (moving back to Manchester), I thought that would be a good opportunity to show some very nice themes. You’re definitely going to want to check those out as they look great.

As promised, the first one I want to share from DM’s list is WoodBerry by O3one Kinetics - I’d suggest getting it now whilst it is free at Ovi Store.

It has a classic, mysterious looking dark panelling wallpaper going on there which is consistent throughout the theme. Overall, it works together and does look great.

Be warned. There’s still three more to show.

Themes: Ex by PiZero Design – Free for limited time on Ovi Store

The 11 O’Clock theme (BST) moves to something slightly lighter again. This is a premium theme that is temporarily free. This one is by PiZero Design.

This has a very autumn feel with those orangey-yellow bokeh light things going on there.

Themes: Sky by Hank – Free at Ovi Store

This theme is a very blue theme, with minimalist square icons of its own (though default/Anna icons will permeate if you have it).

This is called Sky by Hank and it’s Free at Ovi Store.

Note: Today we’ll be showing quite a bit of themes that DM tipped us yesterday. Since I may not be on a computer until evening GMT time (moving back to Manchester), I thought that would be a good opportunity to show some very nice themes. You’re definitely going to want to check those out as they look great.

They’ll get posted at 9AM, 10AM, 11AM and 12PM BST. I will be on twitter though @JayMontano.

Note: Although I say S^3 themes, some do work with S^1 (like this one, even the Ovi Store page shows S^1 phone). It’s worth checking.

Trying Android

Pic by N8. It already hates taking pics of my Omnia 7, now another Sammy in the house. Hmmm...

Android is the mobile OS I have least experience with. To improve my understanding of the shape of mobile OSes, I’ve got an Android handset for the next two weeks or so from the UK mobile network @ThreeUK to see what the fuss is about. What is this Android that is eating Symbian sales? What is this Android that could have been Nokia’s primary OS? And finally what Android platform doesn’t do as well as Nokia offerings (general comparisons), and what Android does that we (Nokia/Symbian/MeeGo) could learn from.

The handset picked is the cream of the crop of Android handsets. It’s only fair that I try Android on what is reported by many to be the best Android phone to date, and what, unfortunately, the handset which some Nokia fans here have ditched Symbian for.

It’s the Samsung Galaxy S2 (Oh noes, I have two Samsung phones now. I can has Eldar Award? :p).

This handset comes with it’s own ThreeUK SIM with all you can eat data, so I can test out N8, my WP phone and the SGS2 together. I’ll post my findings in the next two weeks.
