Hello friends, a good news for people who use the inbuilt calculator on S60 devices. Now (with the help of Java) you can upgrade your old calculator to the all new Enhanced Calculator for S60!

This new upgraded calculator has the same features as the one in S40 devices today. With the above screenshot You can appreciate the transition in the GUI. It has limitations on the GUI and certain screen size support (i.e. QVGA screen 240×320 or 320×240 pixels) and will close with an error message in non supported devices. Although it has been tested on several S60 3rd Edition, 3rd Edition FP1 and 3rd Edition FP2 devices, those with QVGA screen should be ok for this application. However, if you have any problems with the application, post your comments here!

Key features:

Nokia GPS & Maps : A Complete Review

click to go back

I know a lot of us do have the high end Nokia phones that come with an inbuilt GPS and the Nokia Maps Software but we have hardly explored it. The same was with me until lately when I accidently opened the application and gave it a shot. So after using it for about a month today I finally sat down to write about it in detail. Now it was an intentional accident and I’m glad it happened as I was on vacation being unfamiliar with the neighbourhood made me feel a little insecure. Simply, you feel more in place when you know your way around and professionally it saves you a lot of time. So here is a Real Time Experience of Nokia Maps & GPS bundled together to see if the Navigation is worth or just another money minting technique by Nokia.

Make Hay While The QR Code Shines

dvad

Yes, it’s true. With the recent introduction of the mobile codes (Barcode and QR codes) big names in fashion are playing it big by tackling the new age of mobile shopping. A friend of mine mailed me this and asked for my thoughts. Well I told him that this would certainly be an amazing approach to capture the ever-growing market of mobiles.

From online shopping to mobile shopping the transition is simple and more secure according to some but still the wings are new and need a little flying around before it can really take off to the sky. Thus, now a couple of new technologies are about to make the defining action of a consumer shopping faster and more convenient than ever. Ralph Lauren, known for its preppy clothing lines, will feature ads in its catalogues this month that can be scanned by many cell phones’ cameras, allowing the items to be purchased on the spot.

Nokia Email : The Latest Beta

email3

Recently the Nokia Beta Labs announced an all new email service which will enable you to carry around your email account with you inside your S60 enabled device. In simple words it’s an Outlook Express for your mobile device and giving you your email from your POP3 or IMAP server. So I feel it would be useful in case you don’t know how to configure the inbuilt email client. Gmail users get no added benefit and the Gmail mobile client is the best option for them.

So in a way Nokia has refined their inbuilt email client with a user friendly graphical interface.

Following is how you sign up for the account. A simple 3 step process…

Nokia N82 – A Critics Review : Part II

This is the second part of my review with the Nokia N82, the first part can be found here. In this post I would like to pay attention to certain features which are exclusively used in day to day life and at the same time some features which completely aren’t. I have had a wonderful experience with the S60 device and as my trial period comes to an end I would love to sum up all my thoughts in this post, I know you don’t really look forward to it but I might as well plan a part III. A daily dose of what my Nokia N82 goes through can be found here and please take note that viewer’s discretion is advised before you click the link. If you’re not down with that then take a look at the gym celebrity who sure made a lot of heads turn or more precisely swing to the beats of N82. A big screen gaming session is what I personally enjoy the most. With all this being done you might have guessed by now how N82 has become a part of me. I sometimes feel nostalgic when I think how would I go about when my trial period ends, which is pretty close. :-(

Let’s peek into the meat of the matter now. Ask yourself in what ways can you possible use a cell phone apart basic calling and text messaging? Yes, that is correct the review will go in depth of all the features and functions that a sane person can think of. Okay we here would focus on the main applications supplied and some of which I love to use, if you want a certain application to be reviewed please leave a comment. Also if you feel I missed something, I would willingly add it provided I get your feedback. If you want to share your take, you are most welcomed to reply with comments. First and foremost thing that comes to the mind is Camera, so let’s get on with it right away and other things would follow accordingly.

CAMERA

n82 065

This is the number one priority these days in a cell phone. You guys better check out some tips here in case you don’t own a N82, I’m sure you would need them as I did with my Nokia N73. Okay, the 5 MP (2592 x 1944 pixels) Autofocus is what everyone knows needs no introduction but what people don’t know that it is a Tessar 2.8/5.6 Carl Zeiss. Wow… and to add the cherry on top we have the Xenon flash. To be more specific, the camera has a Sensor: CMOS with the Carl Zeiss Optics: Tessar lens having an F number/Aperture: F2.8 and Focal length 5.6 mm. The focus has a near point of 10 cm and infinity as the far point but 50 cm in Macro mode.
