Hello everyone! Will try to keep this post short and to the point. For the majority of us Nokia OS 9.1 3rd, 4th or 5th edition symbian smartphone users buying a phone with a moderate to high price range have its kinks. Either you have to choose a Nokia S60 smartphone which is mainly forcused for gaming on the mobile like  the N-gage or N81, or you can focus to the media part with the N79, N75 or sometimes the business side of the phone like for E-Series phones.

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 traveling! Read the full story

Are you tired of the default Nokia standby menu screen? I mean everyone has it either turned on or off and nothing makes it special really and no matter how many applications you can actually show on the default menu screen makes no difference. But now with the introduction of Handy Shell all that changes and changes drastically. With Handy Shell installed on your smartphones you can ensure faster operations, efficient program customization and also make you Nokia N95 8gb or E71stand out from the crowd ’s stock version smartphones.

Handy Shell works in a way your Macbook Pro or Lifebook with the Vista premium installed on them does for you or your Apple iPhone menu screen shows, it shows the updated status for all your everyday applications including e-mails unread, incoming calls or missed calls, the status of the bluetooth reception, the upcoming events on your calendars like your friend’s birthday or even your upcoming meetings and it also provides you with a quick shortcut menu link for further modifications. The level of on-screen modifications depends entirely on your phone’s installed application. As for example if you have Handy Weather installed or Nokia Maps 2 installed then the active standby menu will be able to show your latest location marks or your city’s current weather forecast.

Among the different types of plugins that are already equipped in this handy application called Handy Shell, the most interesting and useful seems to be the e-mail/sms inbox feature and the application shortcut feature. Obviously we all know why mobile e-mail inbox status message is so important, we all have to follow up e-mails regularly nowadays but what does the application shortcut means? Application short cuts leave us with a few infinite possibilities. Depending on your cell phone’s capability it will integrate the standalone application’s data on the screen to show you the updates!! How cool is that? Pretty cool, I know! Lol. The default e-mail inbox option is simply superb and the bigger the mobile screen resolution of your phone the better it is cause then the screen remains clean and do not create any kind of unnecessary clutter.

With Handy Clock installed you will be able to show the big digital clock on the main active screen without the need of any kind of flash lite screensavers or wallpapers. However I do personally like Flash Lite applications but I am sure many of you still do not digest the whole technology yet. For them this is a dream all in one application. The Handy Weather integration also will let you show the next five day’s forecast right on the standby screen and they look really tacky and sophisticated when activated. You can call your contacts without ever going into the contacts menu and not only that, Handy Shell will let you use its built in File Explorer for your memory card’s browsing pleasure. The whole contacts manager is really very intuitive and user friendly and it will make your default contacts manager kinda obsolete. Just remember to reboot your phone after the installation completes and you will see the awesomeness of this application from the start of the Nokia 3rd edition symbian OS booting! Every single plugin, features that are available in this mobile application or software Handy Shell can be removed or configured at your will. Compatible with all the latest N-Series, E-Series S60 3rd edition smartphones and handheld devices including Nokia N96, N79, N78, N80, N91, N81, N82, N85, N79, N73, N75, N76, N77, 6600 Slide, E65, E50, E51, E90, E70, E71, E66, Luna, Sirocco, Arte, E60, E61, E62, 6110, 6120, 6290, 6121, N95, Xpress Music 5700, 5710, 6300, N92, N93, N71, 3250 and more. All major networks with GSM and WCDMA connectivity like AT&T Wireless, Hutch, T-Mobile, Digi, Orange Mobile UK, Verizon Wireless, Cingular, Airtel, Telstra, Vodafone, Vodacom, Virgin Mobile, Reliance Mobile etc are supported with this application. Hope you enjoy this one and have fun!! Godspeed!

As a businessman there is nothing more irritating than receiving an unnecessary call when you are busy as hell with work. You know that if you reject the call then the caller will call you again and if you answer it then you will be kicked out of the meeting or at least everyone else will think ‘Does he/she ever concentrate on the most important discussions….. sighs… ‘. Well my dear friends of Nokia symbian themes, the problem is now solved with the next business focused set of applications I am going to present you today! As the title suggests it is called Webgate Advanced Call Manager, but wait I am also going to include Webgate Easy Reject, Webgate Voice Inbox and Webgate Advanced Device Lock Professional with it so that you do not miss out of anything!

Previously I also published Ultimate Portable Voice Call Recorder, which actually has a function similar to the Webgate Voice Inbox. However, it seems that the market demand is more for Voice Inbox. It is completely upto you and you alone that which one’s interface you like better. In the past I also publised the Private One SMS and Call Manager for 3rd edition phones which I personally use, so do give it a go to see how it compares to Webgate Call manager. They are both similar and efficient to say the least.

Let us look at the features of these applications at a quick glance, shall we?

Webgate Advanced Call Manager actually can reject or accept calls from a pre defined set of numbers which you can directly choose from the contacts via Black List or simply input it manually. You can additionally delete or hide sms from those numbers if you want to. Not only that, with advanced call manager you have the option to send a predefined set of SMS when you reject calls automatically, thus saving you quite a bit of trouble when you are really busy or want to avoid incoming calls from someone specific. This application is quite lightweight and runs in the background without crashing itself or without any slowing down your symbian operating system even one bit. Beside all these you can define it to accept calls only from contacts, or only from unknown numbers. The “hide call details and SMS” option actually works like the famous MUM SMS application for 2nd edition phones like the N70 or 6681.

Now let us take a look at the best selling Webgate Advanced Device Locks Professional. This one is a utility based software for you smartphones and you can actually make you important files very secure, thus making sure that in case you lost your handhelds or it is somehow stolen, important details like your Bank account number or credit card numbers cannot be exposed. Or, if you use a push based Mobile E-Mail application then you can restrict who can access it by simply setting a password to open up the application. This will make sure that no one gets access to what no one should get access to! Not only that, you have the option to delete data remotely through this application, thus making sure that no personal contact details are being exposed to the thief through your phone. This is really very useful in terms of security of your data in the memory card or the phone memory of your cell phone. If the perpetrator decides to change the SIM card then you can set it up so that it secretly SMS you that new number of your stolen phone’s GSM SIM card and you can submit the details to the proper authority like the police immediately and proper actions can be taken.

With Webgate Easy Reject you can actually reject calls and SMS only, thus it is very much useful if you use another dedicated software or application for the file security of your phone. It simply rejects the call of a Black List number or accept the calls only from White List numbers. Lightweight and straight to the point, this is an application that can also reject SMS, incoming calls and video calls on the go! Basically, if you want someone to keep away from you and your cell phone then this application is the one, period!

Last but not the least is the Webgate Voice Inbox application. What this superb application does is build a virtual inbox inside your phone so that you do not have to call your voice mail box everytime someone calls you and leaves a voice message. But you will ask me now that aren’t the voice messages stored in the network carrier’s router or base station? No they are not with this application. What this application does is record the calls after a few rings (which you can decide how long it will be) automatically and tells the caller with the IVR function to leave a message. It doesn’t let the call get forwarded to the voice mailbox in other words and pulls the playback from your memory card directly thus saving you loads of otherwise incurring phone bills. That’s not all, just like a window pops up when you have a new sms in your phone, a window pops up here too telling you that you have a new voice message! How cool is that?

All these applications are free to download and should work with any mobile carrier including but not limited to AT&T, Vodafone, Vodacom, T-Mobile, Go and Dash, Prepaid phones, Djuice, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, Orange Mobile Uk, Airtel, Cingular, Telenor, grameenphone etc and more. All 3rd edition Nokia symbian phones like the Nokia N80, N71, N73, N91, N92, 5700 Xpress Music, 5710, 6110, 5500 Sport, 6120, 6121, 6290, Nokia N95, N92, N93, N96, N78, N76, E50, E51, E65, N81, N82, E60, E61, E62, E71, E70, E90, 3250 etc and more are all compatible with all these applications. PDA and palmtops are not yet compatible with this one so all you Blackberry and HTC users just hang on. So download them and enjoy! Do subscribe to the RSS feed before downloading though, cheers!
