How Nseries Phones For Nokia I Use School
Type in extra notes on each slide as the professor speaks. Knowing project due dates is really important and I need constant reminders.
I was showing how S60-powered phones like the Nokia Open to Anything party at Slate Plus. I can enter calendar entries on Google Calendar while I’m at home using my Macbook, or use one of the PC’s at the school computer lab. Like I explained in my previous post, carrying a small device in my pocket instead of a thick reference book is more convenient. I transfer the Powerpoint files into my phone and view it on the train or bus on the way to school. The three main applications I focused on are Mobipocket Reader, Quickoffice, and GooSync.
Mobipocket Reader
Mobipocket Reader is an eBook reader.

I added a drug reference eBook for use. I can’t speak for all students, but all of my professors use Powerpoint presentations for lectures. While my classmates using a physical book have to go through the index to find the drug, I can type the first three letters on my phone and usually find the specific drug instantly. I can also enter the dates on my Nokia N95 8GB’s built in calendar application, but no matter what other device I use to enter meetings or due dates, it is all synchronized using GooSync. You don’t need to carry that laptop to school!
GooSync
Goosync synchronizes the phone’s calendar with Google Calendar.
It is also faster. As a nursing student, I need to know what kind of medications I give to patients.
Quickoffice
Quickoffice is an office suite that can read/write documents, presentations, and sheets.
If that’s not geeky enough for you, connect a bluetooth keyboard to the phone. These slides are all available for us to download and print read before class.
devices billion 2009 in Over 1
According to Bill Perry/Adobe, the device forecast for Flash (Lite) enabled mobile devices has been updated: the adoption rate of Flash is faster than previously anticipated, and there will be over 1 billion devices in 2009 (instead of 2010).
“Over 1 billion devices by 2009
We’ve updated our device forecast and expect that by 2009 there will be over 1 billion devices that will have shipped that support Flash technologies. Previously we stated that we would reach this number by 2010 – so this is more good news for the Open Screen Project and shows the explosive growth of Flash technologies in mobile phones.”
Rumor: N93/N93i No Nokia 2010 Successor Up To
I’m a little disappointed hearing about this, but sliders like the Nokia N96 and candybars like the Nokia N78 seem more practical.
What do you think?

I’m a little surprised because I imagined Nokia’s next video flagship phone to be another flip-and-swivel attention grabbing phone like the Nokia N93.
No more transforming flip phones like the Nokia N93i?
I have not owned any other phone that received more attention than the Nokia N93. It is unusual, but that’s what made it cool. It is thick and heavy though compared to the newer Nseries phones. Did you like the Nokia N93’s form factor?
A reliable source said that there are no phones with the Nokia N93’s form factor in the future up to 2010.
Nokia Live: World NY Meetup WOM

Upload your photos online after taking them, but new in the 3.0 version is the added feature of automatically downloading photos from your Flickr/Ovi friends and ability to add or read comments instantly. I’ll list the first 10 applications I install on my phones. I go through a few phones for testing and review, so I’m accustomed to starting fresh and installing applications all the time. Shozu can also upload to multiple sites at once. Go online with your iPod touch or internet tablets on the go while using your phone’s internet connection. This application costs $25.
Thoughts
I listed the first 10 applications I install to help out the new users. I’m interested in what other long-time S60 and Nokia users install first. This is also free to download.
Sports Tracker Beta
Record and share your run, walk, or hike on sports tracker and get information such as distance, location tracking, and other pertinent data on your phone. Yet another free download.
Handy Taskman
If there’s only one application to recommend, Handy Taskman is that application. You can use it for other things such as creating position art. I hope this list helps out the new users.
Here are the first 10 applications I install in no particular order. this is a free download.
Qik
Stream videos live online with Qik. Install Handy Taskman for a bigger view of the list for switching, force quit frozen applications, and display your current RAM and storage space. Calcium is another free download.
Goosync
Synchronize your google calendar with your phone’s calendar. By default, holding the menu button shows your current running applications three at a time. This application is free to download.
Calcium
A simple and easy to use calculator that you need to replace the calculator that came with your phone.
What’s good about the S60-powered Nokia phones like the Nseries I mostly use is that they are like computers: you can install applications. Yet another cool application for free.
Shozu
Unlike Share Online, Shozu can do automatic uploads of pictures and videos right after taking them. Search results show up on the web browser. Nine out of ten of these applications are free to download.
Google Search
Instead of opening up the web browser to Google.com, I simply press the pencil button on my Nokia N95 and a Google search form appears on my home screen. It is free and can be downloaded at mobile.google.com from your phone.
Share Online 3.0
Your phone most likely came with an outdated Share Online application. It doesn’t matter what device you use, but if you have access to the internet and add events, meetings, and appointments in Google calendar, Goosync lets you synchronize it with your phone. Download the 2.0 beta version for nicer graphics and the new walk-pedestrian navigation. It is free and can be downloaded from Nokia sharing and blogging.
Nokia Maps 2.0 beta
Your phone most likely came with Nokia Maps 1.0.
Walking Hotspot
Turn your phone into wifi hotspot with Walking Hotspot. This is the fastest way to get your videos online. The free version does not allow To-do list and contacts synchronization. List your applications in the comments below or blog a post on your site with your applications and link to this post for a pingback.
Symbian has passed 200 million lifetime shipments, which makes it 3rd most succesful (when counting the amount of devices) platform in the mobile space. J2ME is clearly leading, and Flash Lite comes after that with about 600 million devices having Flash pre-installed.
