Blue Zap for S60 V3 & N-Series Devices
Jul 19th
It has been a while since I designed a theme for Symbian OS. I got some free time on my hand & thus created another theme for Symbian OS. Blue Zap is designed to work on all Symbian s60 v3 devices which include N73, 5700, N82 etc. Blue Zap offers a refreshing blue backdrop and comes with full customized icons.
As always theme is for portrait modes & may not look visually pleasing in Landscape mode. So switch off any screen rotater software. Enjoy the Zap.
Nokia Img Exchange – Cool Image Viewer
Jun 3rd
Symbian OS rocks when it comes to user friendliness & usability. The Symbian application repository is huge & is expanding day by day thanks to the developers all around the world. I am always on the hunt to try out new applications for my Symbian Smartphone, looking if they can boost my productivity or expand the capabilities of my Symbian Smartphone. My recent hunt was to find such an application for Symbian s60 v3 which will let me view the Images stored on my smartphone with style. I was pretty much bored with the default Gallery application & needed something snazzy like the N-Series or the HTC touch FLO interface. My hunt ended after I got to Img Exchange – An application from the Nokia developer’s Beta labs. I tried it on my Nokia 5700 XM which runs on s60 v3 FP1 OS & here is a small review of the same.
Cool City for S60 V3 & N-Series Devices
Apr 18th
It has been about time, since I designed a theme for Symbian S60 V3 device. Though I had all the time in the world to do it, but thanks for non-cooperation of Internet & then M$ windows for going havoc, I was challenged to start all of it again from the scratch.
I took up this mighty challenge & I am highly pleased to release another theme for S60 V3 & N-Series devices. The theme “Cool City” brings a subtle blue mood to your phone & it’s perfect to de-stress you from your hectic lifestyle. The theme as usual is only for phones having a resolution of 240*320 pixels & is to be used only in portrait mode. This time, I have included the “Nokia Touch Icons” which have been highly appreciated by many. I would like to thanks Sky for the same. I thoroughly enjoyed designing this theme & I hope you too enjoy using it on your Symbian Smartphone.

In order to use GPRS/EDGE or MMS, you need to have the correct settings (Access points) in your mobile. Though your service provider will provide you the required settings but they are not prompt at it. Also sometimes the settings may not work since they are generic in nature. Here I will tell you how to grab the required setting from your operator on to your Symbian S60 v3 device in a jiffy.
NGAGE 2.0 – Gaming on the move
Jan 9th
Mobiles have become truly convergent devices. Though the primary use of mobile is communication but now people need their phone to do everything their pc does. It is highly impossible for these mobiles to challenge today’s multi core computers but they aren’t lagging too far. Mobiles today have ample power to do almost any task which you will need on your move. It can play music, surf the web, click HD pics etc. But for gamers, mobiles didn’t delivered. Gamers needed some good games, but didn’t got them. They needed good graphics but their wish again wasn’t fulfilled.
But now, Gone are the days when you were limited with playing some crappy java games on your mobile phone. Gone are the 2D games with mediocre graphics. You might think I will be telling you about the next gaming mobile, but that’s not the case here. I am talking about NGAGE 2.0
NGAGE 2.0 is the next generation gaming platform released in the midst of 2007 by Nokia. It is a successor to their popular gaming device NGAGE QD which ran the NGAGE 1.0. NGAGE 1.0 was device integrated but the newer 2.0 isn’t. It works on myriad N series devices & also on non N-series devices by some hacking. NGAGE 2.0 is available only for s60 v3 and not for earlier versions of Symbian OS.
I installed NGAGE 2.0 on my Nokia 5700 a couple of weeks ago. Being non compatible with NGAGE, I had to first hack my device. After sometime NGAGE 2.0 was up & running. The NGAGE 2.0 is designed in such a way that it helps to keep your offline cum online stats in sync. You can even play games online with other players; it just requires you to have an internet connection on your device. I encountered some minor issues during online play, but still it wasn’t that bad. I enjoyed it a lot.
If you do not have an Internet connection on your mobile then you need not to worry. NGAGE offers a wide range of single player games which are highly enjoyable. I had fun playing them on my commute, in my free time and even between lecture breaks in classes. The games look very good and the sound good too. I recommend you play them with your earphones.
Some NGAGE 2.0 Games, I highly recommend :
1) Resident Evil – Degeneration
2) Space Impact – Kappa Base
3) Mile High Pinball
4) Metal Gear Solid
5) Asphalt 3 – Street Rules
6) Crash Bandicoot – Nitro Kart 3D
7) Fifa 09
The games are highly addictive, so it’s recommended to play safe or else get ready to miss a lot of deadlines. Go ahead, Game On !!!
