S60 Ticker

This application it is sooo coool, that I wonder, why only now has someone developed it? This someone are some german guys, use the Google translator if you don't know the language.

There are two separate applications that you have to install: one is S60 Ticker Server than you need the S60 Ticker. The program itself does on thing, but it is very cool: it shows in a moving stripe the content of the SMS you just received. I think it is very usefull, and the next step should be e-mails, MMS messages.

There are a bunch of settings in the program. You can set for instance, that the message should appear only on the main screen - but also on all other screens. You can also set where the stripe to apear: at the top or bottom. You can adjust the speed on a scale from 1 to 5. You can also set that the program should autostart, when you switch on your phone or not. You can put the clock at the begining of the stripe, but this is not working with my phone, so I disabled it.

On the second settings screen you can set the dislpay duration of your incoming SMS. There is also a counter, that shows the number of SMS' displayed by the application.

The third screen containes the setting of demo mode.

Thats about it all. I really enjoy it, and show off with it to my friends.
And some screencaptures:

G-mail on E65

It is not too hard, to set up the e-mail account on the phone, but I really didn't like to use it, I hardly sent on or two e-mails on the phone. Last time I wanted to check my mails it didn't worked, so I had to go to the browser, acces the web. Last time I read the stuff that is written their - if you want faster gmail, click here - so I followed the instructions. The app can also be downloaded from www.gmail.com/app, if you have patience to write in the adress manually.



In the installed application menu the Gmail icon appeared.



You have to give your password and user name only once. Using it is quite simple, enjoy it!

Skype calls with Nokia E65

This was the first software I wanted to have on my mobile. Since Skype is busy doing something else, and they are not developing a Symbian based Skype-client I looked over the internet to find a suitable solution. I found this webpage, the fring asked for my's phone type and number, they sent me an SMS with a link to the application. Being at home and on wi-fi I clicked it and downloaded OTA (meaning over-the-air) on my mobile. The software is free of charge.

After I installed it, I found out, that I can use not only Skype, but MSN Messenger, Yahoo, and ICQ - if I remember my ICQ number at all - but Google Talk, AIM, Twitter and some SIP providers are also supported. To use it is very simple: we have to mark what service we are planning to use, we give our user name, password and the program is already on.



As you can see, that some SIP providers are also available, you can choose from the following, or you have to specify an another:



If you logged in, you can not separate an ICQ user from a Skype user or MSN user, but this is not the purpose, you can interact with them - send short messages or just call them by clicking on their name and pressing the green call button on your mobile.



You can terminate the program by using Exit, but if you want to look up a phone number, than you can use the Hide option. The program will be active in the background.

I used Skype to make a long (and a no cost) phone call to my sister from US - she was in Romania. Because data roaming is very expensive first I put my phone in Offline mode, than I had the guts to call her. I don't have SkypeOut, but you can use it on your phone as well. Very cool feature!
