Symbian-Guru: I’m Back In Love With ShoZu

  • Mark Jambas · 2 years ago
    Hiya Ricky,

    Glad to hear about your experience with ShoZu on the N82 :-) Such an awesome device, it's amazing how overlooked the power of a good flash can be. It totally transforms the images from this phone.

    It's a shame you were one of the few who had trouble with the original N95, but it is actually our number 1 S60 device in regards to user numbers. Sorry you couldn't really join in! I know you love the auto-upload feature but you could always use our new MMS/email gateway if you don't mind a few extra clicks. You won't need the client installed, just add your email or phone number on the ShoZu site and it'll use all your current settings. More info here:

    The newer versions like N95 US and N95 8GB (and N82 of course) are pretty flawless with third party apps thanks to double the RAM.

    In regards to the 10MB limit, well we have to keep that in place on the free service to keep our commercial paying customers happy so their service is always running smoothly. The bigger problem you'd have with uploading huge clips is actually flattening the battery with all that data transfer. But now that we've raised it from 4MB to 10MB we are definitely looking to the future and hoping to do something similar again further down the line.

    Look forward to your full N82 review :-)

    Best,
    Jambo (ShoZu)

    I've installed and uninstalled Shozu three times before on the N95 (classic), because, well, I had the same gripes about it as you've been talking about.
    Just once again installed the same app which for all sakes and purposes practically crippled my phone. Now, IT WORKS LIKE A CHARM! Just as it's intended.
    What's changed? Thank you Nokia for giving us the love of Demand Paging on the N95!
