The most useful feature for any phone these days beside its talking ability is the fact that you are connected to the World Wide Web from almost anywhere you are as long as your GSM or CDMA provider covers it under their network. From Wap to GPRS to EDGE and then fueled by the power of 3G speeds, technology have really outgrown our expectations the last few years. The wireless sector specially saw immense growth and even in our small, rebellious country called Bangladesh almost 5 crore people are using cell phones or smartphones. That’s a huge number considering we are a very poor country in terms of gross economy. Anyhow, the best thing is that the introduction of mobile gprs and Edge have really made it possible for people living in the most remote area now getting fast access to the internet. With that being said, in places like the United States of America, United Kingdom, Canada, Finland etc the usage of mobile phone and the internet packet data is really vast and “ever green”.

However, one thing everyone lacked was the ability to surf from the phone via the entire HTTP mode. In simple words, most webpages which were previously not made for WAP connectivity and compatibility was completely inaccessible through cell phones. Then came Opera into the scene and changed everything about internet browsing from your mobile phones by introducing the phenomenal browser Opera Mobile. Symbian OS and Opera Mobile surely is the best combo one can expect from his or her Nokia right? I mean only Flash based content was missing!!!! Then the Nokia N95 was introduced and again internet browsing shifted gears for the better by having a full HTTP mobile based browser with “mouse type scrolling” built in and most importantly, the symbian engine built in the phone supported Flash Lite which is even more superb and made the scene quite complete. I really can’t thank Flash Lite and its developers enough for that honestly because I personally love the overall Flash Lite experience.

And now, we have SkyFire! What is SkyFire? SkyFire is a state of the art mobile and smartphones based browser which is completely free to use and share. It supports everything you can think of literally and the browsing speed is just quite awesome. I don’t know if you experienced it yourself but in my wife’s phone, the Nokia simply sometimes hung up because the web pages that were being loaded through Opera Mobile surpassed the Java heap memory that the phone provides. Quality rendering was always not an option simply because of this. But SkyFire really changes all that because SkyFire apparently uses an efficient and intelligent engine which seems to balance the load on the phone memory very well and the cache does not load up the phone’s “point of explosion” (..know what I mean.) Not only that with SkyFire you can be quite sure that you will see the web as if you are browsing from your laptop or desktop pc.

Though we do have streaming based applications like the MobiTubia or the EmTube for watching our favorite videos but did you still not wonder that, when it will be time for YouTube to be mobile browser friendly? Opera mobile 8.5 certainly did not support it and for a time being it seemed that this is how its gonna go on forever, stand alone application for watching You Tube videos in mobile. Wrong again!!! With SkyFire you will be able to watch your favorite videos from your soon to be favorite browser SkyFire. You can even browse Facebook in full mode and not only the Facebook mobile version and even with the new look enabled. Chaning rendering and browsing resolution is now only a click away in your Nokia phones!

With Skyfire the fun does not stop here! Skyfire also have a built in map database which they seemed to have acquired via a partnership with a GPS navigation provider like Google Maps or Nokia Maps or something. In simple words, you will be able to render live maps just like in Garmin Mobile or TomTom Navigator straight up. The features do not stop here honestly because the standard files download, low quality high quality mode, one click shortcuts, save page mode are also there. Seriously you Iphone Safari guys and Opera Mobile fanatics (..which actually includes me at times) really need to check this out if you haven’t already. This is quite a browser and I feel that it will seriously change the way we once thought we can browse from Nokia based devices or handsets. The rendering is exceptionally fast and so is the loading which is a real plus for this really complete mobile browser. The overall experience through SkyFire is simply superb!!

Skyfire is equipped to be compatible with all Nokia 3rd edition S60 N-Series and E-Series symbian phones including the Nokia N91, N92, N93, N95, N96, N78, N81, N80, N92, N73, N75, N76, N71, E50, E61, E62, E65, E60, E66, E70, E71, E90, 6120, 6121, 5700 Xpress Music, 5500, 5710, 3250, 6110, 8800 Sirocco and Luna etc and more. All major GPRS, EDGE and 3G networks like the AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Orange Mobile Uk, Virgin Mobile, Telstra, T-Mobile, Optimus, Vodafone, Sprint, Rogers, Airtel, Cingular, Hutch, Digi etc are well supported. Also the Windows Mobile based PDA phones are supported too. I am quite sure that you will love this browser and so I hope that you will subscribe to my feeds because I will be most happy if you do. Enjoy your day peeps and always please comment and leave your thoughts!! Cheers!

Greetings occupants! Whether you are using a music phone with a 8gb memory limit or a phone with 256 mb card, virus sucks! Are you not sick of the virus that’s sending SMS or MMS messages from your phone without you knowing what exactly is happening? Are you not tired of your friends telling you that you and your Nokia sucks cause last night I received a SMS from you and when I opened it, I was ‘virus-fied’ too! I know, I once had a serious problem with the Cabir virus and all my friends and colleagues were going nuts cause they were telling me that I was sending them Bluetooth invites and sending them viruses! Being a Nokia freak myself, I was almost devasted by the accusations. So I had to do something about it!!!

And I did, I installed a free anti virus which immediately rectified the problem, deleted the virus, backed up the original file and made my day!! Ah that was quite a relief I must admit. Mobile virus can spread through GPRS (EDGE and 3G), WAP, Multimedia messaging or via Bluetooth and SMS. Keeping that in mind today I decided to enlighten you with a new collection of free mobile antivirus for Nokia 2nd edition and 3rd edition phones. Almost all of them will ensure that you can use them easily without messing up anything in your phone and will solve your virus issues of the symbian devices.

In this collection I am including the six top most anti virus applications ever released for smartphones and pda. The entire package includes F-Secure for Nokia, Jiangmin Anti Viral guard, Kaspersky Mobile Anti Virus, Net Qin for Nokia 3rd editions, Exo Virus Stop and the glorious Trend Micro Mobile Security. Almost all of them should work smoothly with your symbian handsets and will ensure complete safety. All of them also includes a firewall for intrusion detections via untrusted bluetooth connections. One anti virus even has SMS clean features which not only can block infected SMS but also can make your personal SMS vanish remotely in case your phone is lost or stolen. All of them also includes automatic database update through the mobile phone interface or via your laptop/pc. Via the use of a stand alone firewall you will be able to guard against background internet activity in your Nokia and thus stay safe from mobile spywares, spams and malwares. Easy to use and very light on the mobile flash memory you can be sure that either one of them will be of utmost use to you and your friends.

All the applications in this jam packed collection are tested with Nokia 3rd edition N-Series and E-Series S60 mobile devices like the Nokia N95, N93, N80, N91, N92, N96, N82, N81, N78, N73, N72, N76, N77, 6110, 6120, 6210, 6121, 8800 Sirocco, Luna, E50, E51, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, E66, E71, 5500 Sport, 5700 Xpress Music, 5710, 5200, 6300, E90 etc and more. All the major GSM and CDMA carriers like AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Rogers, Telstra, Verizon Wireless, Cingular, Orange Mobile UK, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile, Digi, Telenor, Airtel, Orascom etc are also supported.

Please do share which one you liked the best and which one you truly hated! Also please subscribe to the RSS feed to keep yourself updated about the latest releases in Nokia Symbian Themes. Cheers and have a fantastic day peeps!

Whether you are a all chillin’ gal or a totally groovin’ guy, you need friends or buddies. Not only that, since you were born and started to get out of momma’s couch I am sure all of you made friends. Then you hit childhood right? Bunked classes, cheated on the exams, played Frisbee or football together with your friends. Your first mobile might be a Nokia 8250 or a Siemens A10 with a calculator like display and most of you took your friends to the shop to buy them just like I did. Some of those childhood friends are still with you and some are lost in the transition of being a man or taking up responsibilities of your family. Now when you are at work in the office you don’t get friends but only colleagues and you know you miss your best friend or your dearest one who might be living in a different country, with different people or in your country working his/her butt off just like you. Work won’t let you get in facebook (unless via FaceBook on symbian!) or msn messenger so that you can chat to them when you are free or even when you are not free. Bloody firewalls! No matter wherever you are, stay connected to your friends, families or even your foes (…maybe) with this next free application I am going to publish!

The Slick IM Client for Symbian!

Yepp! That is the exact name of this symbian application through which you will be connected with your online or offline friends through MSN messenger or AOL, ICQ and Yahoo messenger or any other messenger for that fact. Slick is an “all in one” social messenger with rich features which can save you money and can be quite exciting. Not only that, through the new Slick IM client you will be able to group talk or conference talk on the go straight from your mobile using internet data connectivity and nothing else. The wonders of Nokia mobile phones is certainly its user friendly graphical user interface (or GUI) and the ability of its engine to efficiently use the operating system, mainly the open source Symbian OS. This particular messenger have two things which it seems to keep in mind when it was built for the first time, ease of use and rich features.

Most of the times when you mix those two you get neither of them. Either you end up with a memory eating monster or you end up with a simple IM client which only lets you talk through MSN or Yahoo! which really is not utilizing the capability of a Nokia smartphone like the high end devices from S60 N-Series or E-Series. Nokia N95 was a total success for Nokia but one thing that even that fantastic pda like handset or mobile phone lacked was the ability of it to communicate through different external protocols. Slick IM client deminishes that entirely and lets you use your smartphones to the fullest. With the Slick IM application installed on your symbian 3rd edition devices you will be able to talk in real time to your friends no matter how far they, whether they are using a desktop, laptop or a Nokia like you makes no difference to what Slick IM can provide you at your end. Want to share a picture which you just took through your high end 5 mb or 3.2 mb camera of the phone? No problem, just click and send through the IM and your friend talking to you on the other end of the world will get it pronto. Of course the speed of the file transfers entirely depends on the ability of your phone modem, so if you have a basic GPRS modem you will get around 10KBps speed. If you are on any other faster and more advanced devices like the Nokia N73 or N80, N95, N78, N96, E90, E61 etc then you will probably have the EDGE or 3G wireless modem built inside your phone, thus letting you use the total speed your network carrier like AT&T Wireless or Orange Mobile Uk. Additionally, you can also send and receive animated images, mp3 quality sound clips or audio files, zip files, midi files, office documents etc. Virtually anything you want to send can be transferred if your friend on the other hand supports it.

With the Slick instant messenger installed in your phone you will not have to display that you are from Slick in your status message in MSN messenger. Slick also supports AIM, ICQ, Google Chat, Jabber, Yahoo! Messenger beside the most widely used MSN Messenger. Just like in the laptop or PC, when a member signs in you will get a notification alert and the same goes for any incoming messages. Slick also lets you control the sound options from low to a very high. You can turn on or off the IM history depending on how you want it to be. If you are unsure about privacy then my personal opinion is to turn that feature off cause IM histories can be quite personal for some people. It also offers offline message sending, though it depends on what protocol you are using and if that particular protocol supports it or not. You also have the funny emoticons support for all the IM protocols which makes the conversations very lively and fun. I love emoticons btw, what about you?

Slick is also compatible with a load full devices of Nokia 3rd edition symbian OS 9.1 phones including the Nokia N91, N92, N93, N95, N96, N82, N81, N80, N78, N77, N75, N76, N73, N72, N71, 5700 Xpress Music, 5710, 5500 Sport, 3250, 6120, 6121, 6290, E50, E51, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, E66, E71, E90, 6110 etc. All major GSM and CDMA networks including AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Orange Mobile UK, Rogers, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile UK, Hutch, Telstra, Telenor, AllTel, Sprint, Criket, Optus, Verizon Wireless, MTN, Airtel etc are supported. Please subscribe to the RSS feed before downloading this fantastic application to your phone. Godspeed!

Not satisfied with the Slick IM Messenger? Then you can also try Agile Messenger or Windows Live Messenger!

So tell me something everyone, how do you Qeep? Lol. No no it sure is not a typo and actually today I am going to present you one of the finest and most feature packed application for mobile devices. For those who already have heard it all before, yes today I am featuring the social instant messenger called ‘Qeep’ (..love the name cause it sure is quite catchy!). For those who haven’t heard or used Qeep ever, well you better start using it right now or be left behind. So what exactly does Qeep offer which other similar, IM based application does not right? It is the same question I asked to myself when I heard about Qeep for the first time ever. Firstly, like many other IM based applications, Qeep is free! Like many other IM based mobile applications Qeep offers sending QMS (SMS of course lol) messages free! And like many other software, Qeep is lightweight and easy on the bills. There is a big plausible ‘but’ with Qeep though, Qeep lets you do a whole lot more than just IM-ing or stuff like that.

Qeep offers photo blogging, live chatting and the most terrific part of Qeep is “Multiplayer Gaming” on your smartphones! How much flash memory any application like this requires depends phone to phone but generally, they are all heavyweight champions and almost all of them immediately crashes when you are typing super fast like I do with the T9 dictionary on. Qeep however is super lightweight compared to all those other symbian or java based applications, Qeep consumes almost only half the memory compared to any other similar application if not any less so that’s a huge plus for any IM applications! I have been using it since last week to test it out and honestly I had doubts myself about the features and the size overall, but to my amazement, I must say that Qeep is really Qeeping me on my toes, but relaxed cause it hasn’t crashed even once. Can you imagine just how much flash memory does any other application like this consumes without even offering all these?  Since I am a blogger I really dig the fact that it offers photo blogging on the go, no other application have that feature and honestly speaking I always had to shut off my IM application before opening up Opera Mobile to post in the blog (not this blog though). But with that application I already can actually launch and browse the web at the same time with Opera, though I actually don’t need to cause I can blog through the Qeep interface but I just had to test it out myself. I usually like lightweight IMs which just serves my purpose and keeps my bill under control, so I never was a fan of resource hoggers kinda applications (not naming any though, I am sure you all can guess) and needed a Java based platform which I can actually keep open and running in the background when I am browsing the web. I also love the fact that you can send SMS on the go without actually involving your network SMS gateway. So the cost of SMS is really zero, you will be charged by your operator though for the GPRS, WAP, EDGE, 3G, UMTS HSDPA or whatever else is applicable in your case.

One of the most interesting features of Qeep is that you can actually play multiplayer games online with your friends. All the games are really simple but quite engaging to say the very least. And since you will be playing with or against your friends and foes, you can be pretty sure that it will be that damn hard to win which really makes it much more fun! I hate easy mobile games, I hate complicated but I absolutely love competitive games and almost all the games will test your skills, especially your Brain Department.You can chat and blog and play online mulitplayer mobile games and open Opera Mobile in the background and receive calls, send and receive sms all at once!! Multitasking? You bet it is with the Qeep factor lol!!! Anyway you do have to sign up for Qeep on their official website located at Qeep.net before you can actually sign in and start to make friends, registration is definitely free my friends. The community is really buzzing all the time and as much as I know they have more than 200,000 registered Qeepers (including me) who will surely be Qeeping you busy with Qeep! (Damn this word is catchy!). Within all my excitement, I now realize I have forgot to mention that with Qeep you can send “Qool Qounds” …err I meant ‘cool sounds’ lol. They are all really funny sounds, like the audio versions of the famous MSN “wink”. They will play on your friends handset if they kept the sound option activated as well.

Anyway, enough Qeeping from me for one day! May you all have an awesome time just like I am having with Qeep and do add me there as a friend if you can. This multi featured Instant Messenger will support all your N-Series or E-Series cell phones or pda, S60 or S40 or anything else you might be using. Since I am a Nokiddict, I am mentioning some of the Nokia phones which surely works with this one. Some examples are: Nokia N70, N91, N90, N92, N93, N95, N96, N78, E51, 6120, 3290, E65, 6600, 6600 Slide, 3230, 6680, 6681, N71, N72, N73, N75, N80, N81, N82, E90, E70, 6110 Navigator, Arte, Prism, E50, E60, E61, E62, E66, E71, 5700 Xpress Music, 5710, 5500 Sport, 5310, Nokia 5300 etc and a whole lot more. As much as I have seen it seems to work with all the network operators including AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Vodacom, Vodafone, T-Mobile (Prepaid plans and post paid plans), Virgin Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Telenor, Orange Mobile UK, Grameenphone, Airtel, etc. Feel free to download it and add me as well!

Do share your comments and point of views about Qeep here, I am hopeful that you will like it as well. And if you do like my blog and want to support my efforts, then please do subscribe to my newsletter or RSS feed via your favorite feed reader or simply via email. Cheerios, Qeep well and Godspeed!
