Theme for E65

Sholud we use a factory theme or one that was made by others?

Pro
These built in themes are optimized for the Nokia E65 or other Symbian phone, so they don't slow down the phone. Themes built by other are unique, individual, they reflect our personality, so there is a big chance no one is using them.

Against
Official themes are boring, they can be found on anybody else's phone. Also, themes built by others can be very large, they can slow down the phone in an ubearable way. Namely they are disturbing the phone's functionality.

What I'm using?
After long periods of searching and tryouts I'm using the official Dots Blue theme. This is the closest to the DOts Green theme I'm desperately searching for, it's simple, plain, and does not slow down the phone.

Where can I find other themes?
If you are looking for good taste theme, this is your page. The themes are normal, good looking, it is wotrh going back to look for new ones.

These .nbu files

My E65 was away for a cosmetic facelift, its case became very uggly. So my replacement phone was an N82. Previously I made a backup from my phone and from my memory card - so the one thing I had to do is to upload that content to the new phone. But to my misfortune the N82 didn't had a data cable. This totally blocked me - the PcSuite works on the old Dell, that has no Bluetooth connection, the BLuetooth-USB dongle was stolen - along with the other three computers.

So I started to look up an application that can open the .nbu files - these are the backup files made by PcSuite. So I started digging the internet, the first software was ABC Amber NBU Converter. This is a free application that extracts text messages and the phone numbers that come with is form the phone

The second software was - NokiaSMS - that is 22,5 USD - the dongle is cheaper. The try version of the software extracts a limited amount of data from the .nbu files: 50 phone numbers, SMS, calendar nota, nota, 30 files, 20 bookmarks. So I rushed to the store and bought a dongle :-D.
