Certificate Error

For those of you that haven’t read about this at Techmundo or at E-Series read on:

If you get a certificate error when attempting to install 3rd party software on your S60 3rd Edition smartphone (Nokia E61/E61 or other), it means that you haven’t enabled installation of unsigned SIS files. Go to Tools> App. Manager, choose Options> Settings and set Software installation to All and Online certif. check to Off.

 

Remember that this is like removing one lock from a door.
But I think that this can’t really harm you because you choose what you download.

PIM on my E61

I’m a power user of PIM apps on my Nokia E61. I admit that the original apps aren’t too good, Calendar is a bit clumsy, Notes and To-do don’t have categories, Alarm clock only can have one alarm (on my Nokia 7710 you could have like ten, and repeated ones too) and on and on…

But now there has been lots of fuss about Papyrus and AquaCalendar, Calendar apps for S60 3rd Edition phones. (Similar to Calcium which is a better calculator). They have been in beta for some time already and now finally AquaCalendar has released a stable version! Papyrus is coming soon as well! If you want a side-by-side review see Techmundo.

I love this!

E62 Sweeping USA (as always a little bit late)

I live in the USA and here (I admit) technology comes a little bit late Anyways, I was reading TIME on October 2nd, 2006 and as soon as I opened the magazine an ad of the Nokia E62 was in my sight. I was amazed. I didn’t expect such advertisement of it, I though that it would be as always, a phone from Nokia that is popular everywhere but the US. Not this time! Cingular and Nokia had an ad four pages big (2 pages and 2 filpout pages). And I hope all those mobile professionals reading TIME in airplanes, airports, etc. at least thought about getting an awesome smartphone like this which could make their life easier (well,  more enjoyable in the least), and yes the E61/E62 is a smartphone. Thumbs up for Cingular and Nokia from me!

Video Converters Compared

There are many ways to get video onto your E61 or E62, here they are:

DivX Mobile (DivX player for E61 if you don’t like RealPlayer and 3gp file format) MyMobileClips (an online video converter)

TMPGEnc 4.0 (according to Techmundo.org somewhat better than Super because it uses DivX player instead of the standard RealPlayer)

SmartMovie (known from older versions of S60)

And finally perhaps the most talked about SUPER (Daniel at e61life.com prefers this versus DivX)

Later I will compare the different ways and tell you My favorite but for now you can tell us your favorite by posting it in the comments.
