How to get a Bible onto your E61

By jake61

I am sure some E61 users would want a Bible on their smartphone, so I have decided to write this article.There are three or more ways to get a Bible (or many translations/languages if you wish) onto your E61. This article is about all of them

The most complex is here, I got a Finnish Bible using this and it works really well… though I had to do some ‘hacking’ (well just getting the link and adding to Bookmarks of Browser because it originally opened in Services and wasn’t as great).

But the easier methods of getting a Bible are the following: get Olivetree S60v3 Bible (E61 is supported) or you can buy ”Best S60 Bible” from here (that’s the name of the app) which costs  $10.

Also you can get English MP3 Bibles here and play on E61.

And if they aren’t (or any music file) in MP3 or AAC, to convert you can use Nokia’s Music Manager or I like to use Switch, it’s awesome, it’s free, it’s simple.

PS: If you are having trouble installing the most complex version (and you want it) email me at jpoysti@gmail.com.no.spammm.please or post a comment

    Excellent piece, but can I add two other methods to your list?

    * Mobipocket and its wealth of translations, dictionaries and commentaries

    * coBible

    Thanks for the article, especially for the Audio Bible link – didn’t know about that one!

    Top banana!

    Live and learn I guess.

    Hi,

    S60Bible is a bible reader ported from palmbibleplus (palmbibleplus.sf.net).
    Beta version of S60Bible for Series 60 3rd edition is available at:

    http://lilly.csoft.net/~yohanes/s60v3/

    It is still in beta, in a few days I will release a new version that fixes some important issues in the beta release.

    Thanks Yohanes Nugroho, I looked at you site earlier and saw that it was only for S60v2 but now you have it in S60v3.
    Great! :-)

    This is a great project. I’ve been looking to use my bible+ bibles on my UIQ3 phone. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to download the UIQ3 version. When will it be up again?
    Thanks a lot for this great software.

    Hello,
    I am studying hebrew and greek in graduate school and I have an s60 3rd edition phone. I am trying to get real greek and hebrew text on my pda. I look at Yohanes site and attempted to follow the directions, but I think there are a couple broken links (specifically in the directions from converting unbound bible to bible+ the “unbound bible to bible+ converter” link is broken and I cant figure out how to download it). Anyway, I am seeking guidance from anyone who has been successful (or anyone who knows someone who has been successful) at getting greek and hebrew text on symbian phones. When I download the greek and hebrew bible+ pdb.’s they screw up the s60 bible reader. Any Help would be appreciated greatly!

    We just released SoundConverter for Windows. SoundConverter supports many more formats than Switch (and is free for files under 500k):

    We just released the Windows version and are looking for people to give us feedback. I would be happy to give away a free Windows copy to the first 20 people that mention this article!

    Just email me and mention this post.

    Thanks :)
