and all the other games in the ovi store will only cost $1 dollar :)  this Promotion will go on until August 12th so you best start buying now and if while you are at the ovi store you want something for free you can always pick up the Gadgetized app .

Hello and welcome to the first of  what i hope to be many Gadgetized Weekly four (GW4), so lets get started

To kick things off we have one of the most interesting games out there, its made by Breakdesign you know the guys who made the ”That Roach Game South Africa”  while there isn’t any roaches to kill this time around there are some undead zombies to put back to the grave of your OS but here is the twits, the zombies only come out at night (10pm-5am) which means for the other 17 hours (morning time) there will be no zombies, what you will get when you open the game is a new funny little game called “where is the love?” lost? the screenshot below should help you.

remember this is the same game (well not really), it launches from the same icon, but when you open it in the morning you get a happy game about love and when you open it after 10pm you get zombies ready and willing to eat your brains. You can find & download 10pm at the Ovi store

We all love reading comics right? no? well most of us do anyway, and while reading comics is fun, I know some times you (well maybe not you but I) just wish you could make your our, you know a little super cj to save the world just like super man, well now you can with a cool little app called “Comics Creator”

as you can see from the screen shots above a had fun making my our comic Comics Creator is a fun little app which you can download from the Ovi store

Guns ‘N’ Glory is a  tower defense style game with less than great controls but it’s playable and very very fun, x6 users should love this game while  n97 and 5800 user may have a hard time  play it with out a stylus

the version of the game that i have is not in English (got it off an old micro SD card i had round) there isn’t a copy of the game in the Ovi store but i’m sure you could just google it

Staying in line with today’s theme of “Fun” we have other fun app called Finger Print, this app allows you to use your fingerprint to unlock your phone (well not really)  this is just a simulation for fun, which you can fool your friends into thinking your phone can scan finger prints.

you can use finger print in replace of the default nokia screen lock and you can download Finger Print here

Thanks for reading, im going to see if can 4 more apps for next week, and you, well you have just been Gadgetized!! see ya next time.

This was only the start.

• Upload pictures and videos
• Events: View upcoming events, birthdays and import to device calendar
• Search friends
• Click-to-call / click-to-SMS / click-to-FB Email

We invite you to download and test drive this social networking client from Nokia Beta Labs.

• Live Facebook and Twitter updates pushed to your phone homescreen
• Update your status on Twitter
• View / reply to your Tweets
• Communication choices – multiple ways to interact with your friends and social network circles straight from the client (e.g. post a comment, call, SMS, or email)
• Share your current location and your points of interest in a post or in a message leveraging device GPS location and Ovi Maps (e.g. view friends’ location, add your location)
• Multi pictures uploads
• Video uploads
• Search
• Full profile support
• Save Facebook invites to phone calendar

Navigate the holidays with the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition with device lifetime voice-guided navigation, world-wide map updatesNew York, NY, USA – As millions of travelers get ready to hit the road for the holiday travel season, Nokia announces the U.S. availability of the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, an upgraded version of the popular touchscreen device that comes with device lifetime voice-guided navigation for North America and a car kit so it can be easily mounted on a dash or windshield.The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition features Ovi Maps for mobile, the industry’s only mobile device solution offering real-time turn-by-turn navigation for both cars and pedestrians. When driving, Ovi Maps for mobile is a full-fledged car navigation solution with enhanced safety features like speed limit warnings and speed camera alerts, and near real-time information on traffic congestion due to roadwork or accidents. When walking, the service provides pedestrian-friendly directions, including routes that take a pedestrian up one-way streets and through parks, pathways and other shortcuts.

Unlike navigation solutions by other mobile device makers, which require constant mobile data connectivity to provide turn-by-turn guidance, Nokia puts its maps and the ability to search addresses and calculate routes directly on the device. This means users do not lose navigation capability when they travel to remote locations where cellular coverage may be unavailable, and also allows users to avoid significant mobile data charges. The Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition comes pre-loaded with maps for the entire U.S. and Canada, and users may also update and add maps from more than 180 additional countries at any time for free using Nokia Map Loader, a downloadable PC application available at www.nokiausa.com/maps.The brilliant 3.2 inch wide screen of the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition is perfectly suited for viewing Ovi Maps high resolution satellite and terrain maps, including 3D landmarks. With premium content from Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities, Ovi Maps also offers enriched Point of Interest information like restaurants, hotels and shops, as well as event and movie listings, and a weather service that provides 24-hour and 5-day forecasts. Accented by a stylish chrome ring, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition also boasts stereo speakers and surround sound, playback time of up to 35 hours, swift HSDPA internet connection and 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and memory expandable up to 16GB.Web SynchronizationLike all Nokia devices with Ovi Maps, the Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition can automatically synchronize with Ovi Maps on the web (http://maps.ovi.com) which allows users to:- Search for addresses and Points of Interest- Explore a location from the comfort of a large screen- Plan routes in advance for walking or driving and then save them- Save locations into Favorites and organize them into Collections- Places, collections and routes can then be synchronized over-the-air between Ovi Maps on the device and on the web.Pricing/AvailabilityThe Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition retails for approximately 299 USD and is available through www.nokiausa.com and other independent online and retail channels in the United States. Through December 31, Nokia is offering a 50 USD Visa prepaid gift card for customers who buy the device and activate an account with Ovi Store, Nokia’s marketplace for mobile applications, videos, games and more.

Today i’m going to show you the quality of the nokia 5800 3.2MP camera, with this video and the pics below

Video Test

Picture Test (Good Light)

(Low Light)

As you can see the 5800′s camera isn’t that bad in good light, but pictures taken indoors or in low light are really poor, still capturing video is where this camera shines, videos always look amazing on the it, to end off the camera on the 5800 isn’t that bad but it’s not that good eider, some of the pictures look really good but there are no match for the quality of the e75 pictures but that’s okay.
