Are you the owner of a Nokia series 60 smartphone? Do you think that it will be cool if you can customize your cell phone exactly like the way you want? I know it is difficult to believe that you can actually customize the cell phone cases or accessories everyday but with this Nokia application that I am publishing today for the symbian OS mobile platform, you will be able to make all the settings of your phone unique in every single way possible.

With that being said, without any futher delay let me introduce to you the latest edition of a fine Nokia symbian S60 3rd edition N-Series, Xpress Music and E-Series compatible cell phone application MobiFun Software Smart Settings version 2.10. What can this Nokia compatible MobiFun Soft SmartSettings do for you and your most dearly gadget aka cell phone? It is not the most complex mobi software in this world but it certainly is one of the most useful mobile utility and phone settings based software available for any cell phones to date. Regardless of you being a technology and gadgets geek or a simple symbian cell phone user, this application is so easy to configure and activate that even the 99 year old virgin can customize it.

MobiFun Soft Smart Settings basically have many cool features:

• It simply protects your cell phone from issues of privacy without you restricting the phone completely when you, for e.g. hand the phone to your friends because they want to ‘check it out’.
• It lets you change the way the phone operates in terms of lock and unlock functionality. Yes with the latest version of MobiFun Soft Smartsettings installed on your handheld devices, you can change the combination of the Unlock keystrokes (typically Unlock and Star* key pressed in quick successions for Nokia).
• It lets you assign quick shortcuts on your phone for easy, simple access. You can choose the applications to launch, no matter in what folder or memory type they are located in. It also ensures you that things like lanching applications or games or functionality like turning on Bluetooth on your mobile phone, are not accidentally triggered and launched if the mobile device is in your pocket.
• It lets you set combo keypad strokes to access special hidden applications (depends on the 3rd party applications compatibility) which only you might know and assign. While this is a far fetched feature but it can be done.
• Smart Settings for Nokia 3rd edition mobile devices also lets you assign an easy unlock feature through which you can configure completely, for eg. when to unlock, always unlock, under which profile etc.
• Another cool feature of this Symbian OS based 3rd edition and Ngage mobile software is that with Mobi Fun Smart settings you can turn on the light without actually unlocking the keypad or pressing a key for a prolonged period of time.
• You can also choose how many programs to show under the really witty Smart Mobile Menu that you can set with SmartSettings. This also lets you select whether or not you only want to show mobile application or function icons, choose the stylus or the pen option etc. The Smart Menu operates more or less like the Nokia 5800 XpressMedia or XpressMusic smartphone or pda (whatever you want to call it) drop down function. The UI are not visually rich but in terms of productivity, they are the same!

All in all this fabulous symbian mobile application for Nokia 3rd edition smartphone devices will let you tweak the graphical user interface functionality and it will also let you operate very uniquely. This is not only Handy but the handy Settings means that the new users to set it like their old handset of a different brand. This gives all the others users of different brands like the Samsung, LG, Motorola, SonyEricsson, Blackberry, Apple iPhone, etc one more reason to switch over to Nokia the next time they decide to buy a new PDA or smartphone from the shop or market.

Ever faced a situation when your phone is connected to your personal computer of laptop via bluetooth and you need to send a SMS to someone? Imagine, your cell phone being the other end of the room and you are sitting on your chair in front of your computer and you just don’t want to get all the way to the other side to get that phone. Or, what is your option when you want to send a SMS to your friend via your laptop computer? Or what about if you want an incoming SMS alert on your PC or laptop when your phone is connected to the PC? Are there really any easy, cheap option? Read the full story

If you are working in Sales, direct or indirect or if your nature of work involves frequent traveling or customer call then you should face a dilemma which really is quite irritating at times. Most of the times when you meet with a potential or existing customer or attend a business conference, you are presented with a bag full of visiting cards which not only makes your wallets go thicker but literally becomes a pain in the a**. Exchanging business cards is like exchanging a simple hello and it quickly gives you an overview for the method of communications available either for you or the person who you are meeting with. Exchanging business cards is also a vital sales strategy as it creates a good first impression and, the more advanced or good looking your cards are, the more respected you will be (other things remaining constant).

Though we all have the option to input every single information within the phone’s contact database, doing it in person is really quite a task. It’s just too much work and you know it!!! Most of the times, 70% of the business cards are either lost or destroyed/eradicated one might say after a period of one month. Also, it is a huge trouble to find the card among the stack when you need it the most and in pitch perfect time. Say it isn’t so? What if I told you, life just got easier…. thanks to the Symbian OS and Nokia phones!!

Today, I am presenting you with an awesome application for any business minded or social individual. If your wallet is too thick already not because of money and because of business or visiting cards then this application is what a dream application is like! Yes, it is the most efficient Optical Character Recognition (OCR) application available in the symbian market to date and it is called Abbyy Business Card Reader for Symbian smartphones of Nokia. There is a solid reason I specified the word efficient here as I am sure that you know about all the other products that are available in the mobile applications or mobile software market for OCR related purpose. Most of them have a huge error percentage that results after the scan and compared to Abbyy Business Card Reader, they honestly sucks!! Abbyy Business Card Reader uses your camera from the smartphone to scan the visiting card and save it as a contact. Sounds simple enough compared to the existing hard business cards method of doing sales or exchanging your information?  With your 3rd edition S60 device powered by Abbyy Business Card Reader you can be pretty sure that you will never ever need to maintain a visiting or business card diary in your hands when you are out to a call.

Abbyy Business Card Reader makes your life easier by its extremely innovative import engine. It scans the card and takes a thumb shot or snapshot, creates a new contact with the card name appearing exactly the way you want it to appear in your contacts menu, (i.e. either by First Name Last or Last Name First), assigns the cell phone number mentioned in the card, creates an email address exactly like mentioned in the card, complete business address with Fax (if available) and PSTN number as well. All you have to do is open up your camera’s lens protector (if it has one) and hold the card underneath the camera and Abbyy Business Card Reader will automatically take a temporary snapshot and start to process the data accordingly. If the contact’s name is already there in the smartphone’s database then it only adds the additional information to that contact or in other words updates it. If the contact’s name is there in the contacts and he has a cell phone number already assigned then Abbyy Business Card Reader will automatically create a new cell phone number specifying that it was number of that person’s Cell (Business Card) and it also does not touch the existing cell phone number. Of course you can toggle this option and overwrite any information with one click only! So far this card reader works with 99% accuracy and intelligence so to speak because unlike the other products out there in the mobile phone’s market, Abbyy Business Card Reader assigns first name and last name correctly. Now you see why I said it is efficient?

This is one application that you can actually rely upon because when you are importing a contact’s information so quickly, if it takes a wrong snap or inputs the information inaccurately then everything is ruined. This application is really easy to use and does not eat up much phone memory or RAM when you are running it. It ensures accurate data and also gives you the freedom to get rid of the paper made business card, thus keeping your wallet thin and your a** painless! Lol. Can the Apple Iphone 3G or 1G do this? No! Hence Nokia Rocks!!!!!! In my opinion, this can be used as a full fledged mobile phone contact manager as well if you use it wisely.

Just do a quick search for the S60 based application you are looking for through the search box on the right side or the one below this post and you will most probably find it!

Heath Ledger was born for this role, period! Most definitely my top three movies of all time is the spectacular and recently released Batman: The Dark Knight. I can’t tell you how much I liked the Heath Ledger’s phenomenal and quite unbelievable acting in this record breaking, chart topping, money making, thrice the oscar level movie. If Joker do not get an Oscar for the Dark Knight then the Oscar is worthless. In IMDB (Internet Movie Database) Batman: The Dark Knight went up over the Godfather to snatch the first place of the best 250 movies of all time. When it was first released, I honestly must admit that I thought it’s the overall superhero hype that was going on with Joker. But man oh man was I wrong! It’s really quite sick that the guy is really dead cause I tell ya, Heath Ledger was born for this role of the Joker!!

“Hahahahaha!!! Batman you flying rodent!!”

Anyway, back to the topic and after watching the movie I couldn’t wait to play the movie based game of Batman, The Dark Knight mobile game which was released earlier. This Nokia game is quite fun in one word but I really would love it better if I could be the Joker in the game cause I really would love to squash Batman under my clown-ish shoes. Lol. It only allows you play as Batman himself and you have to get out of the sticky situations by fighting your way out by using the senses that you have developed. The overall fiery, cartoon like graphics really suits the game well and makes it even more fun. Everytime you perform a heavy punch either a “Splat!!” or “Thud” or “Smash” pops up which I really liked about this themed mobile game. The game have that old comic thing going on pretty well I must say but the overall storyline is almost the same as movies. The navigational controls are quite easy and none of the Nokia 3rd edition or 2nd edition phones of almost all screen resolutions will have no problem whatsoever playing it. There is also a constant “life left” bar that shows up on all your enemies and it helps you assess your moves better in situations when you have multiple punks surrounding you and trying to make a show out of it. You get to fight behind the glass panes where the famous poster was shot and you also get to fight the enemies on the roof tops, behind walls and in places exactly like in the motion picture. You can use your gadgets, go in stealth mode or simply punch your way to the Joker to finish the game.

This game is compatible with all the symbian based S40 and S60 smartphones of E-Series and N-Series Nokia like I mentioned earlier. All 3rd edition devices with the Symbian OS 9.1 and 9.2 like the famous Nokia N96, N95, N91, N92, N76, N77, N80, N81, N82, N78, N73, N71, N75, E50, E90, E60, E70, 3250, 6600 Slide, E71, E66, Xpress Music 5700, 5200, 5300, 5710, 5210, E65, E62, E61, E51, 6120, 6121, 6210, 7360, 8800, 6300, 6290, 6110, Luna, Arte, Prism, etc are all well supported. All 2nd edition handsets like N70, N72, 6680, 6681, 3230, etc will also be able to run it with ease. GSM network carriers like AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Hutch, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Vodacom, Digi, Telstra, Orange Mobile UK, Rogers, Cingular, Airtel, Telenor etc should be able to support it as well. This game is really worth the attention mainly because of the movie and for a motion picture based game it is much better than any other similar symbian games. You will love to play it specially if you have seen the movie but for those who haven’t seen the movie, well see that first and then play to to enjoy the mobile game to the fullest. Please do subscribe to the RSS feed before anything as subscription is free and keeps you updated with my latest releases. I am also thinking of making a Dark Knight Batman and Joker based symbian theme soon, will see how it goes though.

“Hahahahahaha!!! Why so serious?? It’s all part of the plan…. Hahahahahaha!!! Now let’s put a smile on that face shall we? After all we are tonight’s entertainment…. Introduce a little anarchy, upset the established order… well then everyone loses their heads…. Hahahahahahaha…”. - The Joker. * …takes a bow most graciously… *

Being good at what you are should never be compromised and it applies when you are playing a game too! With that being said let me introduce you today’s topic, review and a brand new game for your smartphone S60 Nokia devices. Do you like games made out of the true events that took place in the history? Does your mind likes to shoot the enemy yourself or rather be a mastermind and give orders to defeat the opponents while you watch laying over a posh red couch? Today’s game is for those who likes to give orders more than carrying it out for someone else, …and yes, today’s game is all about the history that made the world a better or worse place in your mind, …..and yes today’s game is called the Age of Empires III Mobile.

The Age of Empires puts you in charge of famous battles that took place for real and changed the course of history, making themselves the most important chapters of our history. Whether you are visiting my portfolio blog from the United States, Scotland, Germany, United Kingdom, France, Italy, or Bangladesh the Age of Empires will have something for everyone. This mobile game focuses on your thinking and strategic decision making ability in situations which is almost in dire straits. In most cases our heroes never have had the opportunity to have their food served to them in a golden dish with grapes or strawberry shakes around as refreshments and in this game you will have to walk in their shoes and make sure that you keep the history intact through your Nokia keys and screen. It’s all about the honor, pride and your personal will to succeed which will decide who is standing when the dust settles. Make no mistake that you will need enough knowledge about when to attack and how to attack, counter attack or defend in a possible booby trapped situation. Those who liked Commandos or any strategy based symbian game will absolutely love the Age of Empires.

The story line of this game is really superb and counts for half the marks of the game overall. The graphics overall is not the best or super high definition but then again they are not bad at all and more than enough details are their for your support and enjoyment. There is the classic information menu as well and overall I am not going to complain on the graphics part. In the S60 Age of Empires game you will get to choose which part of history you want to belong, who you want to be and which battles you always wanted to be in during your childhood or even now. You will be the famous ‘Knights of St. John’ and you have to build a new colony yourself with the help of your citizens and ultimately defend the entire Western Europe. After that you will have to make your presence felt by building an empire under your rule. The game is of course a remake of the PC and PS II/III based game the Age of Empires which I am quite sure you have played at least once or heard about it cause it sure made a hell of a success in the market. Don’t expect extreme similarities in terms of gameplay but for a mobile game, this one is packed with features and modes which is quite similar to the original Age of Empires. You can fight directly in battles after unlocking them one by one or choose to play from the beginning where you move on to different levels of difficulty when the odds stack up on you. I personally am not a huge fan of strategy based games to tell you the truth and am more of a FIFA game fan but I do like the Age of Empires mainly because when I play it I really have to use my brains.

You have more than 15 different stages to conquer, with different strategy dedicated to battles and resource managements. If you win battles then you will rewarded with points with which you can buy more resource for your colony or will be able to build different buildings, almost eight in total. You also have a handy pause menu along with an information pop up menu throughout the game which comes to be really handy after a few days of constant Age of Empires addiction. You also have a mini-map to help you guide and navigate easier. The overall sound effects are not bad and you might miss the 3D surround sound a lot but once again the story line really makes up for that. The situations you have to face to finish the game makes you realize how difficult it really is to win a war or to lose it. You can control your moves or decisions via the navigational joystick or at your wish as you can customize it which is a plus for this one. I don’t know if you will miss the heavy machine guns or 0.9mm automatic guns in this one, I know I didn’t. However for me, I rate it 4 out of 5 because I am really not a fan of strategy games.

Honestly speaking this game really depends on your likings about mobile or PDA games. It can really be a dream come true if you are a fan of Age of Empires years back and it can be a ’so-so’ game if you don’t like that. Whether you want to use your N-Series or E-Series 3rd edition symbian cell phones to play games like Super Mario, SIM City or the Age of Empires is absolutely up to you. Like always this mobile game is free for you to play as long as you subscribe free to the RSS feed via a reader or your email to keep yourself updated about the latest downloads of Nokia Symbian Themes. Compatible with a majority of symbian devices like the Nokia E90, Sapphire, Prism, Luna, Arte, 8890, 8860, 6600 Slide, 3250, E61, E61i, E60, E50, E70, 6110, E71, E66, E62, E65, Xpress Music 5700, 5500, 5200, 5300, N71, N73, N78, N76, N75, N80, N93, N91, N92, N96, N95, N81, N82, 6290, 6120, 7360, N-Gage and a lot more. Also phones from 2nd editions like the N70, 6681, N72, 6680 etc are also supported. Hope you like this one a lot! All major carriers like AT&T, T-Mobile, Telstra, Rogers, Telenor, Orange Mobile UK, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Digi, Virgin Mobile UK, Hutch, Airtel, Sprint, etc and any other CDMA or GSM based operators.
