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.

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.

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.
