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

One of the most important aspect you always have to consider when you are out to a picnic or visiting a friend is the weather. Frequently, it is the weather that cancels the baseball or cricket matches in the big stadiums and you always have to suffer by getting wet under the rain because in spite of everything, you did reach to the stadium premises to watch the big match. Or consider a situation that you are really tight on schedule and you are heading to work cause you have to attend an important meeting with the top management of your company where you will have to present the new ideas through a projector. You dress up in the most pitch perfect way possible and the moment you step outside, rain starts to fall like it is the end of the world!! Gone are the days of such misery because with your Nokia handhelds in your pocket and a little bit of help from the 3G or EDGE Gprs connectivity, you will be able to get the latest updates of what is going to happen around the place you live in or have to travel right through. Thus it is always said that weather services are the most important value added services for mobile phones users or for them who spends a lot of time travelling!

Foreca Weather, is a mobile application/software through which you will be able to get the latest weather details from your city or country or even your neighborhood!! The kind of weather information that is actually important to you can be configured accordingly as you wish and what’s more is that you can integrate Foreca Weather with your regular calendar mobile application or software and be updated automatically every time!

Foreca Weather lets you check the present scenario of the weather around you in details, it also lets you compute and collect information regarding what is about to happen in terms of weather for the next six hours. In short it also lets you gather information on the forecast for the next 10 days straight and lets you see the the weather cloud radar for the United States of America and all of the Northern Europe. Besides these, some other handy and useful features of this smartphones based super smart software are humidity and precipitation (or rain) forecast for the next few days almost instantly with the press of a single button. It also have the wind speed and direction forecast for your city or any other as it supports more than 80 thousand cities worldwide. It also let’s you see cloudiness level for any country in the world so waiting for the major news channel like CNN or BBC is no longer necessary with this mobile weather application installed on your cell phones and handhelds. Lastly, it does one more amazing thing!! It shows you symbols maps for every single element I mentioned about the weather above so that you, me or anyone who has absolutely zero understanding about weather terms can easily understand the information. The symbols are shown on satellite images which are mighty detail like some of the better GPS mobile applications. Now here comes the interesting part, the mobile application Foreca Weather for Nokia symbian phones integrates itself and configures itself automatically with your WiFi connections at home or office. That means you do not have to use the GPRS or EDGE or 3G connections of your phone which will save you some money for sure and which you can rather spend on monthly prepaid or postpaid airtime calls.

It works with all the major handhelds devices of Nokia and others which is powered by Series 60 (S60) and S40 Symbian OS 3rd edition and not the Windows Mobile 6. I think there is also a Windows Mobile or PDA version available but this is not that one!! All Nokia, LG, Motorola, Samsung, SonyEricsson 3rd edition cell phones with feature pack 1 or 2 is supported. For Nokia the list includes: Nokia N95, N95 8gb, N96, N91, N92, N93, N80, N79, N78, N77, N76, N75, N73, N71, N6600, 3250, 5610 Xpress Music, 5620, 5300, 5700, 5710, 5200, 8800 Arte, Luna, Prism, Sirocco, 5500, 6110 Navigator, 6121, 6120, 6220, E50, E51, E60, E62, E61, E65, E66, E70, E71, E90 and many more. Please do subscribe to the RSS feed before downloading this fine cell phones based software or application, subscription is free! Major networks of GSM or WCDMA platform including AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Hutch, Verizon Wireless, DoCoMo, Idea, Reliance Mobile, Telstra, Orange Mobile UK, Virgin Mobile, 3G Wireless, Digi, Swift, Singtel, Airtel, Telenor, Sprint Wireless, Telstra, MTN, Vodafone are supported. This means that all prepaid plans and post plans locked or unlocked phone should be able to support this software on the mobile phones. However, for cellulars running with a prepaid plan is advised to use WiFi rather than the mobile internet or the GPRS as it will surely save you monthly airtime bill! Cheers!

Time to get our dancing boots on cause I am shouting on the dancefloor: Dance Dance my Hearties!! Lol. Everyday we are all using the best games, some exclusive and premium smartphones themes and mobile applications/software for Nokia and other symbian OS powered handhelds like those from LG, Samsung, SonyEricsson or Motorola. It’s about time we should change the gears to something else momentarily and hence today I present you with few of the best and the most exclusive premium set of mobile ringtones available to be downloaded for your S60 smartphones!

Ringtones denote a lot more than music in my opinion, ringtones denote your personality and charisma as a person. There are loads of different kinds of ringtones available to be dowloaded in the web and beyond right? What makes your ringtone different than the mass? Is it really that good to stand out within the crowd? Honestly it all depends on your perception and how you are. I like the original classic ringtones mostly compared to the different TV themes based ringtones or the movie ringtones or even the Pinoy or Manga tones. I hate pop songs and hence I personally do not prefer the best pop ringtones out there. Rap Tones have been creating a lotta buzz lately and though I am not a big fan of Rap music (or ringtones for that matter) but I do like Eminem and Snoop Dogg. I love rock and roll though, mainly the music from the 70s like Pink Floyd, Doors, Led Zeppelin, Misfits etc. but since last year I have been sunk in the industrial music from Nine Inch Nails. I love Tool more than anything else presently and I also love the gothic sounds of Type O Negative. I love trip-hop more than hip-hop since you will probably hear Beth from Portishead singing out from my phone, or her music as my ringtones! (..you can know more about me here)

But today I am not presenting you with the rock and roll tones, or the pop tones or the hiphop ringtones either. Today is all about authentic stuff, today it is about the original Nokia ringtones that are available in all the stock handsets of S60 or S40 Nokia. Wouldn’t you love the latest Nokia themed ringtone of Nokia N96 or 5610 on your Nokia N73, N70 or N72? Or maybe you will like to have the E-Series based E66 or E71 on your smartphones? Here is your chance!!! I am publishing a whole lot of ringtones in this post for everyone to use and most of this ringtones will go fine with any symbian OS smartphones, cell phones or handhelds. Included in this list of premium and original ringtones are the entire suite of tones from Nokia N96, every single one from the recently introduced Nokia 5620, Nokia E71, E66, 5610 Xpress Music, the posh and expensive 8800 Arte, 6220 classic tones, 6500 Slide, 5300 Xpress Music, 5310 and every single one from the Navigator 6110. That is not all, I have also included the entire pack of ringtones from Nokia N82 and the beautifully designed Nokia E51. Last but not the least there are all the original, premium and super cool ringtones from the super slick smartphone, Nokia N95 8gb.

Greetings occupants!  Today I am going to publish a N-Gage based, much hyped and talked about smartphones & handhelds mobile game. While we are all more or less fan of the lightsaber code of fighting, there are still a few who hates it. For those who do not know what I am talking about or what lightsaber means, lightsaber is the weapon of choice in all the sequels of Star Wars. And now, your N-gage based platform will have another reason to live up to your expectation and maybe even beyond with this follow up sequel, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed for Nokia cell phones, specially those mobile handhelds with N-Gage 2.0 or 1.0 compatibility.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed focuses it attention on a secret apprentice of the most crooked villain of all time, Darth Vader and he is called “the secret apprentice” (..wouldn’t you guess?). If you have seen the movies Star Wars III and Star Wars IV then you will have an awesome time following the storyline of this game as this mobile game is based on those two sequels. It explores further the afterburn of the Order 66 and this one is set to change the fate of the galaxy once and for all. If you are a Star Wars fan then boy oh boy, you will enjoy every bit of this game on your cell phones. Being the Secret Apprentice you will journey to the doomed planet of Felucia and to help you succeed in your deadly missions is a beautiful yet deadly powerful Juno Eclipse, yes your pilot and navigator for this journey.

In this cell phones game, you being the Apprentice, have to fight your way against the highly motivated warrior Maris Brood and all her followers. Make no mistake that Maris Brood is not your daily enemy either, she is the one who Jedi discovered during her infancy. She was the wild one among all his pupils and she fled to learn things the hard way, to seek revenge from the doomed villain Darth Vader. She is highly skilled with lots of unconventional moves which you will have a difficult time to fight back against. But, if you try a bit I am sure that you can surely defeat her.

You will then have to fight against the commander and the legendary character Jedi Master Shaakti and General Ram Kotha. Jedi Master Shaakti is highly experienced in the art of fighting through lightsabers and will surely flat you out the first time you play her. While playing this Nokia mobile game, don’t be heartbroken if you die before stepping up to the challenge properly because practice will make you perfect and though Shaakti was the one who actually fought and won against the odds during the clone war, you will master the art to pull one back as this is your only and last chance. It is Shaakti who trained Maris Brood in the first place so you can be pretty sure how difficult it will be to defeat the master of the mistress. General Ram Kotha is a fighter since birth and have splendid powerful moves in his arsenal. Before joining this allegiance this hard hitting General spent much of his time training in combat in the age of the clone wars. He became a made man by training rigorously and mastering everything he sees or experience. Though speed is not his biggest advantage but be sure that when you get hit by him, you are nearly dead. So beware of that!

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed takes place in several high risk and environmentally creepy places including the TIE Fighter Facility Convention, in the mushroom planet of Kashyyyk and of course in Felucia itself. All the three locations are beautifully done and I must admit that this smartphones game is the best symbian game in the history of N-Gage platform in terms of graphics and audio effects. The story line is something to die for cause it is as good as it gets when it comes to Star Wars saga and by every means this symbian mobile game will take mobile gaming to new magnificent heights. Check out the screenshots below:

Also check out the trailers and the overall preview of the game, I have also included the gameplay video on a Nokia N95.

This high definition, most magnificent mobile game is compatible with the latest N-Series and E-Series S60 handhelds and mobile computers of Nokia. Phones that support Nokia N-Gage platform will run this like a real baby! Others that can play or has been tweaked so much that it can support Ngage games will also be able to play it. So that includes Nokia N96, N95, N95 8gb, N81, N85, N82, N73, N71, N75, N76, N78, N79, N80, N6600, 6120, 6110, 6290, 6120, 6220, 6121, 5700 Xpress Music, 5500 Sport, 6600 Slide, Luna, Arte, Sirocco, Prism, N91, N92, N93, 3250, E65, E90, E50, E51, E60, E62, E61, E66, E71 etc. All major GSM and WCDMA wireless network operators such as AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile or T-Mobility, Sprint, Rogers, Airtel, Singtel, Cingular, Orange Mobile UK, Hutch, 3G Wireless, Optimus, Telstra, Verizon Wireless, Telenor etc are all supported. Post paid plans or pre paid plans will have no impact on its compatibility either. Please subscribe to the RSS feed before downloading this game for your cell phones.

Greetings everyone! Watching movies on the Nokia smartphones actually began to pick up its throttle when the trend of 3gpp almost diminished to Smartmovie’s Divx media format playing capability. All the latet mobiles from Nokia and others slowly, but surely, started to increase the actual size of the phone’s screen which added even more emphasis to video playback on the smartphones. Then along came the DivX players and others to play movies or clips straight from the mobile phones and with all the N-Series S60 phones having fantastic music edition versions popping up, the meaning of mobile movies started to creep in.

One of the earliest application that was successfully picking up its market was the Core Codec player and it wasn’t till late January when end users started to realize that Core Codec does not only adds movie playback on your symbian devices but it also brings a numerous audio and video codecs along with it, thus virtually making it an one stop all in one solution for handheld media. Core Codec player (or Core Player Mobile) is now the most effective solution out there in the market which actually synchronizes its features with the next generation media features and functions like Bluetooth A2DP support, mobile YouTube or mobile FLV playback support on your symbian smartphones, playing a bunch of audio formats and many other features. Core Player Mobile supports almost all the available formats of video like the MKV, MPEG-1, Theora, MPEG-4 part 2 (ASP), DivX, XviD, MSVIDEO1, WMV, Dirac, H.264 (AVC), MJPEG etc. It also has the built in features which lets it play YouTube videos straight from your cell phone, yes my friends, Core Player Mobile can play FLV movies on the go.

If you are a Podcaster then this can be a dream application for you as it will turn your Nokia smartphone into a full fledged Podcast player letting you reach to your friends and listeners worldwide without any additional softwares or platform. It also brings the power of Enhanced Podcasting and Core Caster functionality on your smartphones. Since it supports the UIQ, iPhone, Windows Mobile Platform, Palm and Symbian OS 9.1 & 9.2 platforms, Core Player mobile had to keep a common ground for both. And they did, they kept a simple user friendly interface on the front end so that even if you switch your handset from SonyEricsson to Nokia or from your Windows Mobile 5 to Nokia S60 3rd, you still can enjoy the same old navigation and features when you install Core Player Mobile. It is bluetooth ready from the get go and supports both A2DP and AVRCP transfers.

When I said all media formats, I meant all media formats! It also supports image management and so on, thus extending it further to be an image manager beside a video and audio player for your smartphones. Jpeg, Gif, Tiffm Mjpeg, Bmp and PNG… you show it that file’s location on your memory card and it will open it up easily. The application is super fast when it comes to image management and is far better than the stock “gallery” option of Nokia which will take an hour to load if you have thousands of images on your mem card. Core Player Mobile also supports media streaming within a few important protocols like Http, Udp, Rdp, Rtp, Rtsp, Rtcp, Asf and Asx. For the average user all these media formats might sound a little new, but trust me what you listen on your Virgin Mobile Radio or Pandora are done through these protocols and now you have them on your phone. So go ahead and open up your own mobile internet radio station today, free!

Core Player Mobile also lets you add custom universally supported skins on it and the widget that comes with it is damn easy to manage and execute, letting you customize the outlook of the player the way you see fit. So inspire youself to create your own skin and use it on your Core. In the future it will also integrate subtitles option which is something I am looking forward to.

Core Player Mobile supports all the major GSM and WCDMA network providers like T-Mobile, Orange Mobile UK, AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Hutch, Telstra, Cingular, Airtel, Reliance Mobile, Telenor, Digi, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile UK etc and more. Compatible with all the latest symbian 3rd edition S60 N-Series and E-Series cell phones of Nokia and others like N95, N95 8gb, N96, N91, N92, N93, N85, N82, N79, N81, N80, N78, N77, N76, 3250, 6121, 6220, 6110, 6120, 5310, 5200, 6300, N75, N73, E50, E60, E70, E90, E51, E61, E71, E66, E62, E65, 5700 Xpress Music, 5500, 5610, 5710 etc and more. Please subscribe to the RSS Feed for free before downloading this superb application for free as well!
