Vlog: Calcium Is A Must Have S60 App
If you haven’t heard of it yet, my video demonstration of Calcium will show you how much better it is than the built-in calculator in our S60-powered phones like the Nokia N82 used in the video. It is fast, easy to use, and free to install on your phone. Calcium should be one of the first applications you install on your phone. Check out the beginning of many more videos I’ll be making to show useful applications we can install on our Nokia phones.
Vlog: What Nokia/S60 Browser Needs to Steal From Opera Mini and iPhone’s Browser
I’m not a big fan of Opera Mini, but it’s got something the built-in S60 web browser doesn’t. After pressing dot in the address bar, a drop down shows up with auto completion of .com, .org, and .net. The iPhone’s browser even have a dedicated “.com” button. Come on Nokia/S60, those extra 7 keypresses in the address bar needs to be eliminated. Check out my video to see what I mean.
How I Use Nokia Nseries Phones For School
I was showing how S60-powered phones like the Nokia N95 8GB help me with my studies yesterday at the Nokia Open to Anything party at Slate Plus. The three main applications I focused on are Mobipocket Reader, Quickoffice, and GooSync.
How To: S60 Multiple Tabs Web Browsing Using Nokia’s Ovi Multimedia Menu
I discovered while playing with the multimedia menu on the Nokia N95 8GB that it opens links as new tabs on the web browser. Combine that with the S60 Browser Shortcuts Key #5 to switch between the tabs very quickly, and now you have easy tabbed-browsing! This tip should also work with other Nseries phones featuring the new multimedia menu; the Nokia N81 and Nokia N82.
S60 Swag Delivered To The Ambassadors
S60 started delivering some swag to those who signed up for the S60 Ambassadors program. I received mine in the mail today. Nothing too exciting, but free stuff are always welcome. They sent a T-shirt, lanyard, notepad, mousepad, and pens showing off their “Open to new features” message.
S60 Web Browser Shortcut Keys
The web browser on my Nokia Nseries phones is my most used application and up until now I did not know the list of shortcuts available. I knew they existed, but I pressed buttons not knowing what will happen. If you feel the same, here are the shortcuts as well as a request for the S60 web browser developers.
Nokia Beta Now Provides Device Status As .SIS File
Hooray for Mac and Nokia users! We can now try out Device Status from Nokia Beta Labs. It is a self-diagnosis tool that allows you to collect detailed information of S60 device. I did not want to install it before because it was only available in a .exe Windows file format, meaning I had to run Windows XP on my Mac. It is now available as a .sis file where we can simply bluetooth it over to our phone and install.
Live Pictures: Evening with S60 at New York Nokia Store
I’ll be “live photoblogging” from the Evening With S60 event with my Nokia N93 here in New York City. I have not done this before so I really hope this works. With only a few hours to go, a couple of tests show it is working properly. The pictures I’ll be taking will be automatically uploaded so refresh this page to check for new images.
