How To: Hack S60 Nokia Phones
This guide will be referenced to many times in the future, so I am posting the instructions to hacking your S60 Nokia phones now. Hacking your S60 phone will let you install unsigned applications without a hassle and even apply some patches if you like. It’s much easier than I thought!
How To: Change Back To Smoother Fonts On The North American Nokia N95 8GB Using FontRouter LT
After the upgrading to the latest firmware v20.2.005 for the North American Nokia N95 8GB, you probably noticed the rougher fonts due to anti-aliasing getting tuned off.

I Entered The Nokia Free Hands Challenge To Win A Nokia N82 and BH-902
Nokia just launched the Free Hands Challenge where you can win a Nokia N82 and the Nokia BH-902 bluetooth headset each week. I am not passing on this opportunity, so I’ve already uploaded my video.

The bad thing about it is the changes applied by the patch needs to be reapplied every time the phone is restarted.

Fresh from the mail today, I took pictures while unboxing the Nokia E71 (E71-1 model for Europe) to show you the package contents. Right away I noticed the box was significantly smaller than the one that came with the Nokia N95 8GB. Let’s take a look at what’s inside.
