Nokia Email Service
PUSHES Blackberries Aside

We all see the people walking around with two cellphones. The one phone for calls, the other for work email, etc. It drives me insane! Well, finally, I may be getting some relief.

Nokia is focusing more and more on services, and last night's announcement is proof. Corporate mobile users, drop that Blackberry once and for all!

Dual device toters, free up that extra pocket! Nokia is proud to present to you the Nokia Email service. The Nokia Email service's biggest function is PUSH email. PUSH email is realtime instant email retrieval without the need for the user to manually log into email servers. Unlike automatic retrieval, which logs on an... .. .

Ladies and gentlemen, Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz's legendary creation, emtube, has regained functionality with YouTube's servers! That's right! The first and arguably best, full YouTube browsing app is back! YouTube recently changed certain server sett... .. .

Change your phone identity!!
S60 browser goes iPhone!

As you may have already know, Nokia S60 browser is based on the same core with Ajax support just like the iPhone browser and it is expectable that both browsers interprets the web on the same way but it is not the case.

Mainly it happens because websites detects the phone model and change interface according to the device specification which results with completely different browsing experience on different devices. Following the huge popularity of the iPhone lot of web sites have created the special pages and pages designed for iPhone are easier to read and they are visually more pleasing.

Now let’s got to the point, someone has made quick software hack that switches user-agent, changes the S60 browser identity and force browser to introduce itself as an iPho... ..

mConnection (beta)
Take the Internet traffic under your control!!

This is definitely not an application that I’ll use at all, maybe the part that shows the current connection speed but traffic counter is something that I really don’t need. I just don’t care about monthly bandwidth, T-Mobile's web 'n' walk data tariff simply rocks, I got a few gigabytes for few euros and therefore I am quite satisfied with the inbuilt counter that shows amount of megabytes used since the last reset, but.. . .
