Wanna test drive Nokia N8 or C7? Here’s your chance!
8 Oct
Are you not convinced by N8 and Symbian^3 yet? You’re wondering how the things works and looks exactly? Maybe you have a one, particular app that you can’t live without and you are worried if it’s working on newer OS? Well, I think I have a solution for you.
Forum Nokia have a special developer tool for testing their apps on real devices, connected to the servers somewhere in Finland. Thankfully you don’t have to be a developer to test out those devices. All you need to have is a Java installed on your computer and a Forum Nokia account. Once you register and login to your account go to Remote Device Access page. There you have a list of devices you can test right now. There are 3 C7s and 7 N8s available at the moment. Not only the newest ones but also older S60v3 and S60v5 devices. There are also some limitations. You have 8 hours per day for reservations and you can reserve each device for max. 3 hours. Don’t worry if all devices are in use at the moment. You can schedule your reservation for sometime in the near future. By the time you’re waiting for your turn you can collect all the software that you want to test on the device etc. You have the option to browse all the disks, install the new software, upload files into the phone’s memory and download files from it. But be nice and don’t mess it up, when you finish testing – remember to uninstall the apps that you installed etc. Just keep it clean. If there’s a time left – and you already finished your testing – cancel the reservation to make it accessible for others. Keep in mind that this a tool for developers. Don’t overuse it just for fun because Nokia can decide to pull it down due to the unwanted traffic.
