Nokia Neon Noise is a S60 theme created by Yan Flahorn. Neon Noise is supposed to be a lifestyle theme and looks quite nice. The theme consists of grey, black and neon green colors.
The theme background/ wallpaper represents broken grey and at some points almost black asphalt with neon green graffiti like patterns on it. Those neon green patterns look really nice and refreshing. Most of them are circles with white circle parts in them which then are placed very closely together. Around those circle patterns there are some color stains which are also in neon green. Near the bottom the asphalt fades to a pitch black.
The font color is white which is very well visible both in contrast to the background and the neon green. Of course the battery and status bars are also in white. The primary indication field is slightly transparent and in neon green like you would expect it to be. A stronger shade of neon green is also used as the secondary font color which isn’t transparent.
Flahorn also overworked the music player to fit Neon Noise better. The media buttons (e.g. play, skip, stop etc.) are now in green and white.
Overall this theme is a nice alternation to the themes that I reviewed so far. It doesn’t have a really innovative concept since the circle like patterns are known to many of us already but the integration and the colors used give this theme somewhat of an individual look.
Like with every Flahorn theme you can download it over at his Deviantart page.

One is a fighting game for devices which supports N-Gage. Back in 2005 One was also available for the N-Gage device which was a combination of a cell phone and handheld gaming system. It was a very popular N-Gage game and was considered as one of the best games for that platform. The reason being is that One had awesome 3D graphics and was one of the few fighting games for N-Gage.
If you are an avid Google Mail user then the free GMail client for S60 3rd Edition should be of interest to you. It is a java based application which will allow you to receive and send emails via Google Mail a lot easier. Of course you can also visit the mobile version of Google Mail on the regular S60 web browser but using that browser can sometimes be a real pain. So the standalone Gmail client is a nice app to have.

Marble maze is a labyrinth game for S60 3rd and 5th Edition devices. Like the previous game I reviewed this one also uses the accelerometer of the phone. This means that the marble is controlled by tilting your device and not by pushing any button. The objective of Marble Maze is to lead your marble from one end of the labyrinth to the other end of it or a specific destination which can be right next to your starting point like shown in the screenshot.
Here and Now is another creation of the guys over at the Nokia Beta Labs. The major task of this app is to show you what local events are going on and how the local weather will be in the next few days. Here and Now was released two months ago for devices based on S60 3rd Edition FP2 but after the last update it also works on FP1 devices. When this app is out of beta status Nokia is planning to preinstall it in the forthcoming Nokia devices. The Nokia beta labs also promise that the final version will include some more services than the two mentioned. Whether the new S60 5th Edition devices will also get this app is still unknown.

Since the Ovi Store service has started some while ago and games started to appear on it, some of the Nokia cell phone users wondered what actually would become of N-Gage which has been Nokia’s gaming service for quite a while now. Because of the availability of N-Gage on the N-Series and recently the E-Series (e.g. E55) and Xpress Music phones this gaming service became quite popular for mobile gamers throughout the last year.
