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.

Greetings everyone! I know all of us here more or less love watching television. However do we always get the time we need to catch our favorite shows when it is happening? Not always! Me, I usually never get enough time to catch any of my favorite TV shows or movies and that sucks! However, finally I must say that I am most relieved because I found a gem of a mobile phone or smartphones/handhelds application or software which will turn your N-Series or E-Series Nokia phone into a Mobile TV!!

How does it all happen? How exactly do we watch the TV channels? Do we watch it live or they are merely clips of recorded programs which we have to download to watch? Obvious questions I know, but with this Mobile TV Nokia application you will be able to catch your favorite shows live on your symbian series 60 cell phones and smartphones. It uses the GSM GPRS or 3G or even 3.5G mobile internet connectivity for streaming the channel feeds. The faster the connectivity of your mobile phone, the better the streaming or digital multimedia quality, simple as that. You can choose to watch your favorite mobile tv shows in widescreen or landscape mode or in the normal vertical mode. The overall audio quality of this mobile tv application again depends on your mobile internet speed. In general if you have EDGE connectivity then there will be very little or absolutely no annoying pauses in between the feeds when you are watching them live.

Mobile TV acts like a Mobile FLV player like Mobitubia or FLV player for Nokia but the difference is that the steaming is decoded through the use of DVB. This is quite a logical step in the development of the entire mobile phones business and consumer market I believe as a demand was always there and when HSDPA or HSPA slipped in as the standard technology, it was assured that we will be watching live TV on our cell phones soon! Many network operators are already providing their very own mobile TV broadcasts like Orange Mobile, AT&T Wireless, Vodafone, Verizon Wireless etc and many more but a key drawback of all those channels or broadcasts are that firstly you cannot view mobile tv over cell phones of Symbian (you will at least need Windows Mobile or Palm or PDA based devices) and secondly, if your network carrier is Verizon for example then you cannot view the channels provided by AT&T Wireless. In many cases it is your operator or mobile TV broadcasting channel that binds you to an exclusive contract or agreement when you buy your prepaid or post paid plans that you will only watch their channels if you decide to pick on the service.

With this Nokia mobile application installed on your cell phones you will be able to watch all the independent channels as long as those mobile tv broadcasters restrict you to connect, which in most cases they don’t! So finally it is time you watch your favorite TV shows like LOST, The Simpsons, CSI etc when you are at work or you are traveling from one place to the other. This Mobile TV software uses real time multimedia feed (not like you get for my site, it’s the RSS FEED!!!) which enables you to choose from various pre-scheduled programs with good clarity and sound quality. While some phones and PDA handhelds have an edge if they have an antenna built in like the 3rd edition Nokia N77, Samsung Omnia, HTC Touch or the LG VU then after extending it you will get even better reception!!

The only drawback of this Nokia based application (..ofcourse other symbian devices, BREW and windows mobile platforms are also supported) is that it consumes battery like a monster and will drain your phone out of power pretty quickly. Nonetheless, the overall positives are way above anything as pescy as this! This application is compatible with the latest and greatest Nokia symbian N-Series and E-Series, S60 & S40 devices like Nokia N77, N78, N79, N80, N81, N82, N85, N91, N92, N93, N95, N96, N95 8gb, N6600, E50, E51, E60, E61, E62, E65, E66, E70, E71, E90, 6120, 5300, 5700 Xpress Music, 5500, 6250, 6220 6310, 5200, 6300, 6121, 5710, 5610, 6290, the luxurious designer cell phones like 8800 Arte and Luna, 7360 and many more including the latest Samsung Omnia and LG VU, HTC Touch HD etc.

This mobile TV application is network operator independent as it uses it’s own feed and will work with AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Telstra, France Telecom, 3G Wireless, DoCoMo, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile, Digi, Hutch, T-Mobile or T-Mobility, Rogers, Sprint, Optimus, Telenor etc. Please subscribe to the RSS feed for free if you like this blog and this Nokia mobile TV application! Cheers!

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!

Ahoy everyone! Crash Bandicoot Kart 3D is one of the most successful game ever to be released for the PSP and Nintendo Gameboy console. Later it did hit Playstation 2 and Playstation 3, where it single handedly outperformed the total sale of both the PSP and Nintendo together! Later that same year they made it clear that they want the market for the PDA and palmtops by releasing it for Windows Mobile 4 and Windows Mobile 5. Now, we all that it was the end and we will never get to play it in our Nokia. But when the iPhone was introduced for the first time by the guys of Apple, the Bandicoot had to come out of the TV screen, the windows platform and hit the iPhone interface immediately. The only thing that was left after that was for this blast of a game to be released for the symbian and java platform of Nokia, LG, Samsung and SonyEricsson etc. When all hope was lost, it happened finally and Crash Nitro Kart 2 was introduced for the very first time!! The game of course was an instant hit in the Nokia cell phones market and why shouldn’t it be, its one hell of a good game! And now, after several months of development, its my utmost pleasure to present you Crash Bandicoot Kart 3D for Nokia mobiles and smartphones! Yeehaw!

Storyline:

Well, in this episode all hell have broken loose! Dr. Cortex and the ever so villainous Nitrous Oxide has made a pact to beat the ever so exciting and speedy heroes of this game, the Bandicoots! They are planning once again for complete world domination by beating the Bandicoots and it specially seems almost certain when the closest companion of Doc Cortex, Mr Ripper Roo joins the already invincible duo. How will they defeat the Bandicoots? The Evil Macho Man provides the Bandicoots with an offer they cannot refuse (mafia ishtyle baby!), in a stage Kart Tournament of course!

The winner obviously will receive the everlasting title and recognition as the Kings of Kart Racing and the loser will have to leave the island or forcefully exiled out of the N.Sanity island.

As the Bandicoots, you have to make sure that you do not lose your home obviously and you also have to make sure that the world does not get consumed in the grip of the Vortex, err… I mean Dr. Cortex!

Gameplay:

Awesome! That’s all I can say peeps! You can slide and glide and freak and skid all the way to the finish line. You have to maneuver your way through the falling meteors, make your way over the oceans and crash & burn against the heat of the sun on the drying desert of Egypt! You crash and burn almost everywhere else though lol.

Features:

The graphics are quite good, not the best out there but these kind of games actually gets wasted/slow with too much memory consuming processes. High Definition or HD game, it might not be but nonetheless it is almost Nokia N-Gage quality. The graphics are however not anything less than the standard and the screenshots prove that.

The speed of the game is really fast and furious. There are bonuses everywhere and the more you take them the better or more speedier you become. However taking all the opportunities is never easy and everyone knows that. The tracks are beautifully designed and there are turns and unpredictability every where you go. The tracks of this game are quite long and there are altogether 12 long tracks that you have to finish to win the tournament. The weapons are all funny lol! and you will have an awesome time shooting them out, it really suits the game perfectly. Last but not the least, the controllers can be configured according to your need and that makes this game even more enjoyable.
