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!

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.

“My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance in this life or the next” ….do you remember these lines? Yes that was Russel Crowe from the Oscar winning movie, The Gladiator! While that movie is ageless and will always have a place in our heart we all thought that it was over. But, it is not! On your smartphones and handhelds, Maximus is back to raise hell once again and his fate depends on how good you are. Gladiator The Mobile Game combines heart pounding emblem of harmony and music from the age of Mozart and with today’s most sophisticated, state-of-the-art graphic details on your symbian S60 and S40 Nokia and Sony Ericsson mobile computing handheld devices.

The game serves you with nine individual characters who are adopted straight from actual movie. They each possess unique moves which are their specialty and they each have a weapon of their choice. Every time you hit your opponent with a death hard strike, the blood spills out from him and it simply looks like that the movie is running on your cell phone’s screen while you are the director. This high definition 3D mobile phone game ensures the very best of game engine that really have an impressive all over performance. The camera view during the game play is 360 degree, meaning you can actually rotate the entire screen the way you see fit for you smartphones. Action games are always well respected in the Nokia software market and this one is no different.

The control set up is really simple and straightforward and it should not take you more than two or three straight fights before you get a good hold of the special moves for this mobile java game. There is a nice “lifeline” bar which reduces every time you are being hit by the enemy and it takes quite a while to actually die in this game. The gameplay becomes more and more difficult with every stage you advance to and odds will stack up against you. I know that you will be the Spaniard in the game for obvious reasons but what if you could face another gladiator of the same caliber in the Coliseum of Rome? Will that make it hard to win for you? Guess what, that is exactly what this Nokia mobile game offers to you.

Multiplayer! Yes, with your latest camera phones A2DP bluetooth switched on you can play against your friends and destroy him for good! The multiplayer feature is really one hell of an addition to this game and surely will be best used on N-gage and N-Series multimedia computers or cell phones. The game play is not affected in any way when you switch on this feature and since the size of this game is not really huge, you can be sure that your phone will run it smoothly. You can choose to play in three different modes including a quick fight, a career mode and the most exciting survival mode. In quick play you can simply pick an opponent, no matter who or how difficult they are and fight them straight without any delay. Not really the best part of this symbian 3rd edition game is the career mode though and to be frank it is quite easy after you have played it two or three times. The story you are given is exactly a copy of the feature movie however the dialouges are really well thought of. They are quite compelling and is what made this mobile game really stand out.

The best and most hard to play is the survival mode where you are given only one shot to defeat all of the remaining gladiators. When you finish one, the next one pops up with fresh energy pumping in their vein while your fatigue remains still the same. The more you progress the more impossible it becomes to defeat the opponents and before you reach to Commodus. All in all, the survival mode is really the most coolest part of this game and although it is hard to play well in that mode, but it is surely worth it. After all, to be the man you have to beat the men!

With time and progression you will be able to adapt the best possible moves and tricks. You also have the option to learn how t dodge which really will come handy when you are playing the Survival mode. The game is truly amazing and quite compelling and anyone who have seen the movie will be an instant fan of the game for sure. Even those of you who haven’t, I am sure you will still like it even if for the graphics, sound and overall gameplay. Batman Mobile: The Dark Knight was not anything like this one even though just like this one, Dark Knight was also a movie based cell phones game.

Here is the trailer of this awesome mobile software & game:

This game is surely a jam packed fun machine and will turn you PDA, Pocket PC, Palm, smartphones, handhelds or latest cell phones experience something worth to remember in the future when technology have taken a step much further from what it is today.

All the latest cell phones, PDA, Pocket PC, iPhone 3G, Palm and smartphones of Nokia, Windows Mobile, and SonyEricsson, Apple, HTC, Ipaq, Blackberry and HP have it installed by default. So if your handhelds are missing it, ain’t that sad? All the major network gsm and wcdma providers like AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Nextel, Orange Mobile UK, Hutch, 3G Wireless, Virgin, Vodafone, Airtel supports it and if you still do not have it then will it be fair? When I published a previous post regarding several other GPS based software module for you to download and use only a few days ago, did you still not download it? Well then it’s about time that you are taking a look at this post because this post will give you another chance to install it on your operating system of the latest cell phone of Nokia.

The most beautiful thing about Blackberry, iPhone 3G and Ipaq is their ability to use memory resource intensive applications without any problem almost. This is the only department that the Series 60 or S60 symbian OS platform was falling short. However with time Nokia presented us with one of their best application to date, the Nokia Maps 2.0. It came built in all the latest cell phones of N-Series and E-Series including the N95 8gb, N81, N82, N78, E66, E70, E71 etc and almost shook the entire software market positively. However, within the last few months there was another application that was released in the United Kingdom, the CoPilot Live GPS module, which enables you to do virtually anything you can imagine when navigating and using a GPS device from your smartphones and hand helds. No additional cell phones accessories are required when you have CoPilot installed on your mobile device.

CoPilot GPS Live was actually designed for the Pocket PC and Palm platform and was a real hit in the market. That’s when they decided to expand the compatibility by offering it to other brands of Symbian OS and UIQ, thus enabling us to use it with our cell phone quite easily. Do not get me wrong though, I am not comparing it with either Garmin XT or Nokia Maps in any way, however the peeps whose geo locations are based in the United Kingdom or Europe (specially Norway, Ireland, Denmark, Italy or Sweden etc) will have an awesome time using this smartphone navigation system because the maps that comes with CoPilot GPS Live is phenomenal and detailed. CoPilot GPS Live also lets you use its intelligent Open GL platform engine to compute several factors very easily with the touch of a single button. The menu of this application is quite end user friendly and any new cell phone user who just bought his or her latest mobile cell phone or have been using a really nice Symbian OS 9.1 or 9.2 platform powered, unlocked or locked, Nokia symbian phone possessing advanced skills, will also be able to use it easily.

CoPilot GPS Live simply delivers a very simple pop up menu which shows you all the available options in a clean Web 2.0 like software GUI. It runs via GPRS and Bluetooth as well. It offers several features which is impossible for me to speak of in a single post. However, I am listing some of them below:

Destination Tagging: Through this you will be add tags to certain places that you might only have come to known and will like to check out later. Or, this might also be the house of a friend which you might visit later but because of the complexity of his location you are quite sure that you will forget the route. Destination tagging will let you mark it for future visits, simple!

Easy Navigation: The navigation of CoPilot GPS Live is simply one of the best among all the other available and similar products available in the market for you to choose from. It has a dedicated keys for any smartphone, whether it is your Nokia N73 or HTC Touch Diamond or a Pocket PC.

Detailed Maps: The maps are available in 3 formats which are 2D maps, 3D maps and the very important driver safety maps. We all know about 2D and 3D maps but what is this driver safety Map? Driver safety map shows what to do, and what is about to come, the traffic details and even the turns that you might take in huge letters without showing you the actually cluttered maps. This is really useful when you are driving and cannot concentrate on the phone stand or your phone in front of you on the dashboard.

Automatic Re Routing: Another very important feature of this application is its quick and efficient ability to reroute a new direction just in case you miss a turn. The whole ‘make up’ actually is relatively quicker than any other GPS devices for Nokia or handhelds.

Automatic Set Up: Install it and it’s done. Specially if you are using any prepaid or post paid plans from T-Mobile then this is simply the best application or software that you can use on your latest cell phones. The entire GPS set up builds itself automatically in the background and notifies you once done after which you will never have to customize it again and again.

Lost Mode: The lost mode or the so called “Where am I” is another important integration of intelligent computation on this GPS module. When you select this option the CoPilot GPS Live automatically points the exact location you and your cell phone is in.

Sense of Computation: If you are in foot or in a bicycle then it will show you the best possible way to reach a location by foot and if you are in a recreational car where you will want to avoid the ugly bumpy roads then it will assess the best possible route for cars by avoiding the broken or blacklisted roads so to speak.

Points of Interests: The overall collection of the variety of the points of interests (POI) available for CoPilot GPS Live are way above than any other GPS modules and devices. In total there are 30 different POI that it will recognize by default.

One Stop Solution: CoPilot GPS Live have developed a GPS central through which downloading the maps beforehand and saving it in your memory card is easy. No matter which country you are visiting, be sure that CoPilot GPS Live for Nokia 3rd edition smartphones will cover it. Save the maps in your memory card or cache and it will serve the maps from the cache next time, thus saving you monthly mobile internet data charges and mobile phone bills.

Live Traffic Feed: CoPilot GPS Live also offers updates of the traffic for any particular road. It also automatically keeps the traffic as an element when you tell it to choose the best possible route by Destination Tagging.

Reject Toll paying Roads: Yes this GPS software also offers alerts against roads and locations through which, if you pass, you have to pay toll charges. This can come really handy when you are travelling abroad or internationally and are not accustomed to the roads that well.

Trip Optimizer: With trip optimizer you can easily calculate beforehand how you want to plan your upcoming business or leisure trip. It can automatically optimize for you to plan according with its Calendar integration feature. No redundancy and pure fun!

Dream Kit for Business Individuals: Yes! With this installed you can easily keep track of your incoming or outgoing fleet on the go. This is really important in the business of export and import where you frequently have to track your orders and supplies.

All in all CoPilot GPS Live is simply one of the very best in GPS applications that you can use for your navigation and it comes with full features. It supports a handful of devices but I am only dealing with Nokia or symbian mobile phones so I am going to list the ones from this. All Nokia 3rd edition S60 N-Series and E-Series cell phones and smartphones are compatible with this one including the famous Nokia N95, N95 8gb, N93, N93i, N91, N91 Music Edition, N92, N78, N79, N76, N75, N77, N71, N81, N81 8gb, N82, N85, N80, N73, 5500, E50, E51, E60, E61, E62, E65, E66, E70, E71, E90, 6110 Navigator, 3250, 6121, 6290, 6120 etc and more. All the major mobile network providers like AT&T Wireless, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Virgin Mobile, Optimus, Nextel, Rogers Wireless, Orange Mobile UK, Airtel, Telenor, Reliance Mobile, Telstra, 3G Wireless etc will all support it smoothly.

Watching high definition movies on the go, that is what this post today is exactly about! More or less everyone I know or I ever met in this world likes to watch movies. Whether the language is English, Spanish, French, Italian, Hindi or Bangla we all love to catch a flick every now and then. The last movie to bring down a roaring hell on lalaland aka Hollywood was the Dark Knight and I got so carried away that I searched the internet all over so that I could publish you the official Dark Knight smartphones game, which I did of course earlier. After watching the DVD and Heath Ledger’s phenomenal and out of the world acting as the Joker I even got a bunch of his artworks. If you have missed that film then do not worry my friend because today this application I am introducing to you will let you watch high quality widescreen movies on your Nokia multimedia computers and handhelds on the go!

Smartmovie version 3.41 for symbian devices and smartphones is one of those must have software that your cell phones should have installed from the get go. It takes the multimedia experience to a whole different level and if you have a N-Series Nokia phone then the experience is tripled to say the very least. The fun of watching movies on the cell phones is quite different that I must agree. It is a completely seamless experience and Smartmovie is not just another video player for your cell phones, it is much more! Smartmovie by Lonely Cat Games will let you manage, create, delete, edit and convert videos for your cell phones and will let you take it around with you wherever you go. Smartmovie 3.41 also lets you play foreign movies without any problems whatsoever as this amazing multimedia application for Symbian phones and Windows mobile smartphones supports the power of subtitles. One of the very few application in any class that actually plays the subtitles exactly with the right timing of the movie frames.

With Smartmovie 3.41 installed on your devices you can watch movies in widescreen view and in full screen, meaning it supports both the landscape and portrait mode for viewing the hour long movies. It converts the movies from your laptop or desktop via the pc based software video converter which has several options built in for several types of devices. Choosing the right Nokia phone screen resolution can be a daunting task, but with Smartmovie installed it is just a matter of one click. It automatically optimizes the video for the best output so that when run the movie on the mobile handhelds and smartphones it gives you the best picture and sound quality. If you stop the player when a movie is running to pick up a call, Smartmovie automatically resumes play from the last position when you begin to watch it again. Even when you turn off this application and resume and switch off your cell phone and turn it on again for e.g. one day, Smartmovie will still prompt you to resume play from the last position, ensuring that you do not miss a single second of action while efficiently reducing the hassle to find the last position of playback.

The PC converter that comes with Smartmovie has built in Direct Show which lets you download codecs by automatically detecting the format of media which is a fine addition in this version. The conversion, like I said before, is really quality oriented as it has a bicubic interpolation engine and though you might think that it will take a whole lot of time to convert a movie entirely but in reality if you think about it, it’s really fast because Smartmovie converter can convert movies at 5 times the speed of the playback which is the standard even for a desktop computer media converter. Smartmovie also lets you control the contrast and brightness for a particular video so that even if the quality of the actual video in the DVD is not that good, you can still adjust the easy to control parameters when playing the movie in your Nokia Symbian OS mobile phones.

It supports the Symbian OS 3rd edition and second edition phones with added capability to play movies in Windows mobile and palm. The converter for the desktop also supports different operating systems of Windows including XP and Vista. All Nokia symbian 3rd edition S60 N-Series and E-Series cell phones like Nokia N81, N82, 6300, N85, N6600, 6600 Slide, N78, N80, N79, N71, N72, N73, N95, N95 8gb, N91, N92, N93, 6120, 6121, 6290, 6280, 6288, 5700 Xpress Music, 5300, 5200, 5500, Luna, Arte, Sirocco, 3250, E90, E50, E60, E51, E61, E62, E71, E66, E70 etc are all well supported. All the major GSM and WCDMA network operators like AT&T Wireless, Verizon Wireless, Vodafone, Virgin, 3G, Orange Mobile UK, Hutch, Cingular, Telstra, Optimus, Airtel, Rogers, Telenor, Reliance Mobile, etc will support Smartmovie.
