10 Steps To Make Sure Your Symbian Experience Is Enjoyable | Mobile RnR You got your N8, C7 or C6-01, the latest, the greatest from Finland.

You glance across the room to your friends with their fancy iPhones and HTCs and Samsungs and Nexus that “just work”, and you wish you had given up the first class camera and video, the amazing Ovi Maps, the top-class build quality, and gone with the flow.

Support Discussions - Nokia N8 - how to turn off wifi? - Page 4 this wifi problem is definitely a concern. Hopefully firmware update will fix the issues and complexities of this problem. I have had the N8 for 3 weeks now. It has been working fine after i spent ages tweaking settings to get wlan and 3g connectivity problems sorted with som helpful hints from some of you guys..THANKS HOWEVER 2 days ago the WLAN started coneecting and disconnecting non stop which was draining the battery very quickly. Additionally, this fill my connection log memory to the brim which then made the phone reset the call log every day!!!! This is only on the WLAN at my work.

vHome Desktop | Nokia Home Screen Customization | Nokia Symbian Themes There are quite a few applications that are out there to help you customize the home screen display of your symbian touchscreen PDA and Series 60 smartphones. There is Epocware’s Handy Shell which can help you quite a bit when you want to customize the screen and there is also the ported version of the official GDesk (ported from the UIQ) which can help you further.

For SVG or JPEG maps, use the "classic" map form. To resize and/or colorize Google Earth markers based on a particular field, use the data form.)

SPB Mobile Shell: Breathe Life Into Nokia/Windows Touch Phone (Review) Nokia Touch phone’s have the ability to show different home-screen’s depending on the requirements of users. However, they aren’t versatile, configuration is limited to adding/removing shortcuts.

In simple words, SPB Mobile Shell is a feature rich mobile application that allows you to overcome the boredom of using Nokia home-screen’s/menu by replacing them with revamped User Interface. SPB Mobile Shell Homescreen Beginning with the installation size, since SPB Mobile Shell completely replaces the default Nokia menu therefore a heavy installation was expected.
