I know, the big qwerty thumb-board makes T9 useless, but the absense of T9 exposes my really bad spelling. I just wish they had something like auto-complete or a spell check with those red squiggley lines at the bottom of the misspelled words . . .
I am officially addicted to Super Miners. I got the demo around a month ago and I didn’t really get why some people are raving about it. I picked it up once again the other day and i just couldn’t put it down. It spurred me to get the full version and I’m now at Level 19. My normally 4 to 5 day battery life has shrunk down to 30 hours because of this game.
A more thorough review of Super Miners at All About Symbian.
Richard Hodges sent me an email moments ago about a blog entry he wrote comparing QuickOffice, OfficeSuite and the E61’s built in word processor. Great work! 
I’ve been having some Wi-Fi problems. I’ve noticed that whenever I get less than optimum singal strength (3 bars), the E61 browser just times out. This has really bothered me for sometime and for some reason, yesterday afternoon, I remembered someone posting a comment in my previous post about correctly handling the E61 that the Wi-Fi and bluetooth antenna are located at the bottom.
So I took off the silicone case and Wi-Fi signal strength was boosted. I was able to get Wi-Fi access in places where I had dismal signal strength.
Two days left on E61life’s Theme Contest 2006. Before the contest is over, here are my fearless forecasts.
Best Look (Based completely on visuals) goes to Nokia’s Turquoise. (Although I do think that they shouldn’t be in the contest, and let someone else win it!). First runner-up is Ferras’ Green Dots.
Fastest Theme (based on speed issues) hands down goes to Vitek’s Blue Orange Light. First runner-up is Xamon’s GreenSnake.
For the Overall Grand Prize Winner, I’ll give my vote to Vitek’s Blue Orange Light. Noteworthy entries also from Roman Keller (very Mac’ish themes) and the very kookie color schemes by Valerie.
Again, just my two cents.
Is it still necessary? PC World is reporting that by the end of the year, Skype will start appearing on symbian mobile phones.
I used to go to Tools > App. Mgr. to uninstall programs on the E61. I try out alot of demos and trial software and sometimes I feel like some of them slow down my E61 and I get into the mood of spring cleaning. Its just that waiting for App.Mgr. to populate the list of installed programs so I can delete them takes too long.
I found a better method. Just find the icon of the program you want to purge.
Click Options and then Remove. I found this to be a much more efficient method of cleaning out unwanted programs in the E61. I’m not sure if most of you guys do this already, but coming from a non-symbian phone, I’m not really that accustomed to doing even the most basic process, so it’s a new learning curve. Also, not all installed apps show up on the App.Mgr.
I only wish that deleting themes would work the same way. I found certain themes to be stubbornly uninstallable.
Steve Litchfield wrote an article on how to pump up the volume on the E61 when playing music using the built in music player. In my opinion, just get OggPlay and use the volume boost option.
I feel left out. haha, anyway, I made one for my site. Let me know if I did anything wrong, I haven’t checked it out yet so drop me a line if I need to redo some stuff.
