Qik signs Nokia deal, to be preloaded on Nokia 5800

Live mobile streaming service Qik has signed a new deal with Nokia that will see the Qik client offered as standard on at least one Nokia phone.

The first Nokia phone to include Qik preloaded will be the Nokia 5800, Nokia’s newly launched iPhone competitor that also offers Nokia’s Comes With Music service. BusinessWeek has a review of the phone here, and VentureBeat has details of the music aspect here.

There was no word yet on whether other Nokia phones will offer Qik preinstalled, but certainly it’s a small boost for Qik in a competitive space. Now if only they could get an official iPhone application up on the iTunes store

iPhone 2.0.2 the magical 3G Fix? Whoops, I can’t upgrade yet

Apple has released a firmware update for the iPhone, 2.0.2, and there’s some suggestion that it may include a fix to the 3G coverage issues.

MG Seigler at VentureBeat reports that post update he’s getting better 3G coverage in San Francisco, but there appears to be no official word yet as to whether the upgrade included a patch for the problem.

Obviously if they can fix it via software update, everyone wins, however I sort of can’t upgrade it yet. I couldn’t resist running Pwnage on my 3G iPhone so I could install Flixwagon for live video streaming. A test video below on the subject. I’ll add Qik to the mix as well later in the week to see if there’s any noticeable difference.
