If you own a nokia device or you’re just a nokia fanboy odds are you have been to the nokia ovi store, even if its just to have a look or browse through the apps, odds are you have been there, its the best place to find games,videos,themes and thousands of applications for your s60v3 and s60v5 smart phones, the only problem with have so many apps, is that as a new user it can be somewhat hard to find the best applications, and those of you who visits the store on a regular bases know that it takes more then just a few clicks of the next button to find what you’re looking for.

luckily Cj’s Nokia Blog  is here to help you find the best apps in the ovi store, here are five of we think are must have applications for your s60v3 smart phones

#5 – Wordsearch

its by far one of the most addictive word games out there, its perfect for people who are always on the go and not have to time to sit and play a long action game, its easy to just pick up and play and its a hold lot of fun

#4- Shazam

so you’re walking down the street and you hear a song playing, and you want to know the name of the song, what do you do? you could go and ask the person who is playing the music the name of the song or you could just take out your phone and start up Shazam, Shazam is identify any tune and tells you the name of the song,the artists and album as well as the options to buy the track right then and there

#3- Nimbuzz

if you’re on Google talk,Windows live,Yahoo,AIM,My space,ICQ,Skype,Facebook,Jabber,Giovani or Gadu-Gadu then you need to get Nimbuzz! from online chat and instant messages to international calls and file sending this app does it all, it pulls all your contacts together in one place, so you can exchange messages with all your friends on all networks

#2- qik

so you’re on the road and on the go and there is a dog dancing on the sidewalk, what do you do? (a) – run away (b) – kill it or (c) – recode it! i’m going to go with (c) and if you going to recode it, you might as well share it online right? With Qik this is easy and simple (the recode and share online part, not the killing and running away part) just start it up and and hit recode, you video is then instantly live on the internet where the world can see it!

#1- Gravity

if you’re on twitter and you have a mobile phone then you need garvity? not gravity as in gravity it self but gravity as in the s60 twitter client It, Gravity is a fully-featured twitter client that supports multiple accounts, Twitter Search, Laconica, Ping.fm, posting of pictures via MobyPicture & TwitPic and it wraps everything into a gorgeous looking interface

We hope this list helped you in one way or the other

Daca aveti un Nokia seria E, atunci ati avut nevoie fie de ceva solid, fie de o unealta de tip “mobile office”.
Pentru cei care stiu ca au in mana mai mult decat un telefon robust, o veste buna: Office-ul built-in al Nokia seria E are un upgrade gratuit la ultima versiune de Quickoffice 6.03.

Cum ajungeti sa faceti update-ul:
In dir Office, mergeti la Quickoffice:

In aplicatie, selectati Updates & Upgrades sau Quick Manager:

Va cere update de catalog si conexiune la internet. Dupa download-ul catalogului, veti vedea urmatoarele categorii:

Intrati in prima categorie, Updates & Upgrades / New versions & features. Selectati prima optiune: QuickOffice 6 / Free for Nokia ESeries:

Noutatile acestei versiuni:
– fisiere parolate
– suport pentru arhive ZIP
– word count / numarare cuvinte din document

Pentru mai multa incredere in ortografie, e recomadabil sa descarcati gratuit dictionare editabile pentru mai multe limbi:

Iar daca documentele voastre sunt acasa sau la serviciu, si nu pe mobil, le puteti accesa sau le puteti face back-up automat instaland QuickAccess :

Aplicatia este platita (60 RON/an), insa merita absolut fiecare banut.

Ce face QuickAccess:
1. Back-up automat pentru fisierele sau directoarele din calculatorul de la serviciu sau de acasa si sincronizare intre original si back-up-uri
2. Acces la distanta direct de pe mobil , unde mobilul are drepturi de admin, iar clientii instalati pe PC-urile de acasa sau de la serviciu – drepturi de client (aplicatia desktop se poate instala fara drepturi de admin pe PC-ul de serviciu, singura conditie fiind iesirea la net, chiar si printr-un proxy / firewall corporatist)
3. Share direct din aplicatia admin de pe mobil : adica orice fisier, de pe oricare din calculatoarele voastre va putea fi atat editat si back-up-at, cat si sharuit cu orice adresa de mail sau numar de telefon. Aplicatia Admin din mobil va trimite o invitatie catre adresa de mail a prietenului carui vreti sa ii trimiteti, sa zicem, un director de 500 MB cu Hexagon 2, iar acesta va primi pe mail un link spre un ftp securizat unde se afla deja back-up-ul directorului vostru.
3. 10 GB de stocare pe server securizat in 128 biti

Mai jos aveti un print screen din QuickAccess, iar ce vedeti este un meniu contextual profesionist pentru un fisier al carui original se afla pe calculatorul de acasa, iar back-up-ul pe serverul Quick pe care browsez eu:

In concluzie:
QuickOffice e o unealta profesionista; dezvoltatorii ei mai au, evident, de tras pana reusesc sa acopere majoritatea cerintelor de tip Office, insa pasii pe care i-au facut in ultimul an sunt foarte mari, iar aplicatia satisface mai mult de 80% din necesitatile de natura Mobile Office (daca excludem Access-ul care are nevoie de putere de calcul mult mai mare decat pune Nokia suflet)
QuickAccess este cea mai desteapta si mai utila aplicatie de tip sync / back-up / share / FTP Office cu care lucrez de mai bine de o jumatate de an.

Daca ati citit acest articol pana in acest punct, aveti un Nokia seria E si va hotarati sa platiti QuickAccess pe un an, am putea face istorie in rapoartele de vanzari ale QuickOffice-ului: in Romania s-ar dubla cifra de afaceri peste noapte!

Pe bune, din curiozitate: Cine mai are QuickAccess, tinand cont ca e o aplicatie securizata pe arhitectura client / server, asa ca nu exista crack? Lasati comment

The Nokia e65 was  announced back in February 2007, with features like Wi-Fi with a dedicated scanner,VoIP over Wi-Fi,a 2 megapixel camera and search option for the entire phone content  (just too name a few), i know that this doesn’t  seen like much, but back in 2007 it was more then enough for thousands of people like me.

it has been 3 years sines i had nokia e65 and i just wanted to show you “how it looks like after 3 years heavy uses”

it doesn’t look that bad if you ask me , feel free to tell us what you think about the nokia e65 in the comment below.

Pizero (designer italian de teme pentru symbian) a “implinit” zilele trecute 2 mil de vizite pe www.pizero.net. Datorita faptului ca e un desenator extraordinar.
Pizero este “Premium publisher” pe store.ovi.com, iar tema cu care isi face intrarea este “Pulsar” , cu 3.99 euro.

Pentru cei care isi cunosc telefonul ca pe propriile buzunare, recomand “Stealth” (tema gratuita), care arata asa:

Acesta e un articol foarte trist si foarte scurt.

Joi noapte (30 mai 2009) am primit un SMS de la unul dintre cei mai buni prieteni ai mei: “Alina a murit intr-un accident rutier”. Alina apare doar reflectata in oglinda, langa copil…

Nu m-am gandit niciodata ca un SMS poate avea atata forta, cu un efect permanent. Intr-un SMS te astepti sa citesti “Intarzii 15 minute”…

Ca sa putem ajunge la numerele colegilor de serviciu, a trebuit sa recuperez datele de pe telefonul ei de serviciu, un Nokia E65, care a ajuns asa:

Apoi asa:

Desi pare distrus, E65 functioneaza perfect. Masina Alinei e distrusa si ea.

Nu putea fi invers!?

Watch men the movie is out the it’s a hit but will the mobile game be as good as the movie? keep reading to find out…

Gameplay*

in watch men the mobile game you play as Nite Owl and The Comedian to fighting enemies from the streets of New York City to jungles of Vietnam

as nite owl and the comedian you fight enemies in the streets of new york and the jungles of vietnam using weapons and vigilante attacks,” for me” using nite owl is a lot more fun then using the comedian 

note:

i got this game the same time that i got Superman Batman:Heroes United and i when i played S.B.Heroes United i got so into it, that watch men didn’t feel as well made as S.B.Heroes United BUT that’s just me,

The bottom line and Score*

watch men is still a good fun beat ‘em up action packed mobile game, and i thing that you should give this one a try if you are into “beat ‘em up” comic book games.

Here are some notable highlights from some recent reviews of T9 Nav in the media, including this video review: 

Carleton Lindow Jr, gives T9 Nav high ratings in both his review on S.60.com and Nokia E65 BlogSpot:

“5 out of 5″

“A must have” 

CHANGING THEMES AND PROFILES

“T9 Nav ’serves the shortest shortcut”

Symbian-Lifeblog highlights on how you can use T9 Nav to directly locate the theme that you are looking by just pressing the first few letters of its name.   Once you find it, you can set it on by simply selecting it.  

“Simple as that”

BRINGING CONTENT HOME

According to Steve Litchfield’s review on All About Symbian:

“T9 Nav does “what it promises – obviating the need for the S60 menu and bringing its contents (and a lot more) into the existing home/standby screen”.

SEARCHING NUMERIC FIELDS MAKES FINDING CONTACTS EASIER

The review also goes on to say: 

“One of T9Nav’s best…abilities is that it searches within numeric fields. Suppose someone calls your landline while you were out but you don’t recognise the number. Remembering just the last few digits “something 8382….” you open up your phone and tap in 8382 into the standby screen/T9Nav. Any matches in your Contacts will be shown.

“Very useful indeed.”

Screen rotation is something that most nokia s60v3 fp2 devices come with, but this feature is nowhere to be found on phones like the nokia e65 and the e51 but here to save the day and to rotate the screen is Landscape Pro v1.50.

What is it*

“Landscape Pro v1.50 is an application for symbian OS 3rd edition devices, which allow you to change your phone screen from portrait to landscape mode” that’s what the website said and it is 100% true but i think it’s more then that,

landscape pro makes every thing that you do on your s60 phone 50% easier and more fun, from browsing the web to playing games, using landscape pro is the most fun i have had testing an app in a long time.

how does it work*

there are two ways that you can use landscape Pro,by using the auto rotation or by using hot key rotation.

The auto rotation let you pick a list of apps to auto rotate when you open then,this is one of the features that i like the most and it works great for application like web,calendar,google maps,gallery and resco viewer.

Hot key rotation lets you press a key to rotate the screen, auto rotation is the feature that i like the most but the hot key is the feature i use the most, you also have the option to pick or disable the hot key.

hot key option are – edit + * , edit + #, the camera key, (c) the backspace key, # + * or disable 

other option incude - rotation side (left or right) ,auto start and hidden application 

The bottom line and Score*

what more can i say, this is a great app that i think you should buy or give a try, and it’s now on my MUST HAVE list. all you have to do is try it and then i know you are going love it.

Video Review*

I gave a review for the older version of t9 nav a few month ago and now the T9 nav people sent over this new updated version of the software for us to review ,so here is my review of 89628 aka t9 nav v02.00

First off let me  remind you how t9 nav works,

How it Works*

you start by typing the name for the contacts,settings,media,bookmarks,applications,calendar,keywords or messages that you would like to find for example lets type “car” which is “227″ on you phone keypad.

Here we have all the thing that has c,a or r in there names you can also divide the results into tab which include contacts,settings,media and so on

Whats New*

One of the  first thing that i saw was the new tutorial option which does a good job of showing you how the software works but that not the best thing about the new T9 nav.

The next thing that i saw was some new customization features, these new features allows you the options of eliminate search types from the front tab but still keep it available on other tabs,it also lets you choose what is search-able for example if you don’t use bookmarks a lot you now have the option to take it off the search list.

It did take a longer time for the results to come up but beside that the software still works just as great and a little better than before,this is a MOST HAVE if your are on the go or don’t like digging up in your phone folders looking for that one app.

The bottom line and Score*

This doesn’t feel like  just an updated version of a good app, “it feels like a hold new better bigger app”

I’m happy to say that t9 nav is now on my “MUST HAVE ” list of apps, that’s about it see ya.

Video review*

Thanks to the T9 nav people for sending this one over

Update*

T9 Nav is now available at website at http://www.t9nav.co.uk for of $8.54

Two of the most loved and power full super heroes team up to take on evil in glu’s Superman Batman:Heroes United.

in Superman Batman:Heroes United you play as Superman and Batman and that is all well and good but no one would care if the played like sh*t but luck for us it does not.

By far Superman is the most fun to play with,you really do feel like your the man of steel that said playing with Superman makes every thing too easy. you fly around the screen taking out bad guys some time it’s just too easy, finding your way around is never a problem with superman you just fly left to right,up and down  never the less superman is a lot of fun to play with powers like super strength and heat vision and it’s hard to not enjoy playing with superman.  

batman on the other hand is more or less better to play with. kicking the bad guy butt is sometimes a hard taks with batman but “most of the times” the dark knight’s gadgets and martial arts never lets down however if you find yourself with enemies on both sides it’s impossible to escape, with all the jumping that batman does in the game jump on top of enemies like you see on the tv show is impossible taks also. but over all batman is the better super hero to play with “in this game”.

The plot in this game like other super hero game is to save the planet from complete annihilation “what more motivation do you need”?. it took me about  5 to 6 days to finish the game. and for a mobile game that’s money well spended.

ending on a good note This is a well made game that is a lot of fun and it’s a MUST HAVE if your a comic book fan.

 it only $ 6.99 and you also try it out over at  glu.com that’s it see ya.

The full review coming soon. 

hey guys here is a first look at Landscape Pro v1.50 running on my nokia e65

Full review here.

I have been testing this great software called smart settings which was made by mobifun soft, now i only had it for about a month now and i have to say that “i can’t work with out it”. 

smart settings or as i like to call it quick press lets you quickly and easily access your favorite or most common used applications with two easy key press. “do i need to say more go download it now!! ” just kidding lets get on with the review

beside changing the name of the app smart settings allow you to customize a number of other stuff, you can customize every thing for “auto lock in” according to the profile to the icon for the application  and this it one of the things i like most about it.

all the standard settings are here also -

selection key: right/left or left (no delay)

content: used to app or remove app for the start menu

what more can i say about this app,like i said before ” it’s just one of the apps i can’t work with out” i hope you give this one a try.

I recently read a BBC article called New phone features ‘baffle users’, which suggests that users are frustrated and angry about the complexity of modern mobile phones. 

They referred to a study by Mformation, that found 85% of users reporting they were frustrated by the difficulty of getting a new phone up and working and that 95% would try more new services if phones were easier to set up.  I loved one question which equated setting up a new mobile phone as being as difficult as moving bank accounts.  

I have to wonder if a tool like T9 Nav Smart Search could alleviate the frustration felt by these users and improve the survey results.  T9 Nav not only makes it easy to discover and use content on your device, such as applications, settings, music, themes, it also helps discover off-device content.  

The biggest problem for me when changing phones is that the interface for finding anything changes radically on each device.  With each phone I’ve had, I’ve had to spend the first block of time with the device, just trying to learn the different ways to access what I want and looking for ways to set up short cuts to simplify this process going forward.  I’ve even kept within a phone brand, when buying a new phone, only to find that this doesn’t help with the interface learning curve.  Manufacturers radically change the phone interface from one device to another.   So you can pretty much count on a learning curve each time you want that new cool device.  

That is another T9 Nav advantage for me.  If you are familiar with the concept of one-key-press per letter typing -a la T9 Predictive Text -the tool works the same way.  More importantly,  it works in that same manner on each phone.  So you don’t have to learn a new way to access your phone features and content each time you change phones.

 All the excitement and fun from the pc version pack in to a smaller screen. here is a first look at Luxor quest mobile game

                     full review coming soon.

 it’s time for the watchmen to start watching over your mobile phone. Here is a first look at watchmen the mobile game

I don’t want to ‘browse”- I want to “find”.  When I’m mobile, my level of impatience for finding what I want escalates. At the same time, my tolerance for search results that aren’t relevant plummets.   If I’m looking for news, I want it to be local to me.  If I only search for music once a month, I don’t want my search results to be littered with the latest songs.  

I don’t want to spend a lot of time teaching the phone to understand my personal habits, but I do want the power to shape the results I’m looking for. 

That is the power of T9 Nav.  It monitor usage patterns, to improve it’s predictive technique.  It also let’s me set up what is searchable on my device (if I want to). For example,  I can choose to search all my messages or not as standard practice.  

I can configure it so that all music results go under the media tab instead of in the front screen results.  I can still find them easily, but don’t need them always in the front tab.

I can also configure for one or more regions, so that I can shape the search results towards popular content for my location.   That way, I’m empowered to ensure I can find what I want.  I get to influence the context and relevance of what I find.

Galaxy on fire 2 is a action pack, sci-fi space shooter  made by fish labs, it runs on the abyss engine the same engine was also used to make games like Rally master pro and Galaxy on fire 1.

i don’t know but i think that this is the engine at fish labs used for all there games. moving on the the games itself  the graphics in this game is the same that you would see in ps1,psp or n-gage game,you also have to remember that this is a java game and not a sis game.

The storyline some times takes a back seat the to great graphics but the plot never seem interesting to me but the fast action pack game play makes up where the story lets down.

some times i forget i am play a mobile game. The abyss engine is like the assassin creed engine for mobile phones,what i am saying is that the engine is able to create huge 3d galaxys, planets and space stations.

What more can i say this is a great looking game with good game play and a so-what good storyline.

 SILVER AWARD.

For the best graphics in a mobile game 2009.

Do you have lots of applications on your phone -stored within folders and sub folders? Or do you have tons of music loaded on your device?  Or 100’s of photos?  Or more contacts than you even realized you knew?  

If you are like me, you keep adding content to your device.  At the same time, you get frustrated with how long it takes to find what you are looking for.  It is all about content discoverability.  With T9 nav, all you need to do is key in the name or phone number for the content you are looking for right from the standby/idle screen.  It gives you direct access to virtually anything on your device.   As you press more keys it presents options.  When you see what you want in the list, just click on it and you will be taken to it.    If you have a S60/ Symbian 60 V3 phone, check it out on  Nokia Software Market:  http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/?action=productDetails&pID=6302&pmsid=305&lang=en
