Mobile games development

Last month, I was selected, with other developers, as a winner of a special prize in Forum Nokia 2008 Code Example Challenge.

Some days ago, I found a big pink box within my mailbox and here it is my brand new Nokia 6220 Classic!

Here are some first photos…

Among the features, here are some of the coolest ones (even if I had still not the time to test them all ):

• Builtin GPS
• HSDPA
• FM radio (never had a phone with it!! )
• TV-Out
• 5 megapixel autofocus camera with xenon flash!

Also, since it’s a S60 3rd edition Feature Pack 2 device, It comes with Java ME IAPInfo and eSWT APIs, and FlashLite 3.0.. time to write some code!

This news came to me like a wonderful surprise, and I’m totally happy to share it with you all: I was nominated June Poster of the Month on Forum Nokia! :)

Here’s an excerpt from the related thread on Forum Nokia Discussion Boards:

Forum Nokia and I appreciate that Jappit has shown the community spirit above the normal in his helping others on the Forum Nokia Discussion Boards. Jappit has been prolific in his posting in June but beyond that his answers have been helpful, considerate and generous. His spirit of help has earned him the respect of his peers.

Thanks to all Forum Nokia team!

Just a post with some self celebration

I’ve recently hit the target of 500 posts on Forum Nokia Discussion Boards, and so I’ve acquired the Super Contributor title! Here’s the related post, but the best thing is absolutely the customizable avatar bonus, so here it is:

My design skills are not that good, don’t you think?

Meanwhile, also a new Forum Nokia Champion Champion of the Month has been proclamed, so kudos to Pankaj Nathani (already Forum Nokia Champion at the beginning of this year) for his great contributions and participation in Forum Nokia community! Keep up the good work!
