Opera Mobile 10 Beta 1

By fernando | Published: November 5, 2009
After months of teasing, Opera finally released a beta of version 10 for Symbian, available here or at m.opera.com/next It’s all fine and dandy, it’s basically Opera Mini 5 beta, with Opera Turbo and all their fast magic, only faster because it’s a native app. I know some people that swear by Opera Mini, and [...]

Guess who’s back? (or, landscape Maps & Furtiv)

By fernando | Published: October 15, 2009
Who’d have thought? Whoever found my phone on the waiting area I had left it returned it! He/she found it, took it home, took a picture, made a couple calls before returning it to my college’s front desk/lost and found thing, lucky me! So, to kick the blog posting back on a good note, here’s [...]

Transparent icon shortcuts (or, let me see my wallpaper!)

By fernando | Published: September 25, 2009
Let me start with two facts: First, being able to do anything on S60v5 using only the touchscreen except entering the main menu is annoying. Second, finding a wallpaper that has the proper amount of er… top padding (245px!) so that important parts of it won’t get obscured by the shortcut bar is kinda hard! [...]

Converter Touch (or, Offscreen rules)

By fernando | Published: August 29, 2009
I’ll be honest, I’m not a big fan of the Ovi Store. I was really hyped for it and it kinda let me down, from the server errors and links breaking constantly, to the lack of content that’s available elsewhere (Nokia support sites or even the old Download! app (Quickoffice, Adobe Reader and Zip Manager, [...]

August Updates

By fernando | Published: August 27, 2009
Splitting the updates I was adding in the ActiveFile post to a new one, just to be tidy. “Oh, by the way, my 5800′s earpiece finally gave up, am taking it to be replaced tomorrow. So back to the N95 for a while. Dunno if that’ll affect the frequency (LOL) of posts here, but just [...]

By fernando | Published: August 25, 2009
Yesterday, Alie Tan posted about a new version of ActiveFile (v1.43 RC1) on his website. Among new things there are bugfixes for 5th edition, meaning it works properly with the double tapping system. If you tried the last version you know what bug I’m talking about. Good riddance Y-Browser, only one file browser installed now. [...]

Q Search widget for S60 (and an iSearch mod!)

By fernando | Published: July 29, 2009
And after that huge N-Gage post, something quick. Youse guys all know how much I’m picky about search apps. *cough cough* So I’m glad someone out there knew how to make a good search app/widget. Q Search by Russell Beattie does everything I want, fast and simple. Tap shortcut on homescreen, get a text box, [...]

N-Gage on the 5800: the h4x diaries

By fernando | Published: July 28, 2009
Summary: Just to let it clear from the start, while I could install the app, I couldn’t play any games. Leaving this warning right in the top of the post might save you some reading time. :P I always wondered what would happen if I installed N-Gage on my 5800 ever since I saw a [...]

Nokia 5800 updated to v30.0.011

By fernando | Published: July 27, 2009
Early this morning, reports of a new Nokia 5800 firmware echoed through the internets. I thought I’d wait until it’s confirmed hackeable, as I always do. But after a couple conflicting reports I decided to try for myself. OTA firmware update, same experience as V21. First impression: if you get an endless rebooting phone, take [...]
