TECHMUNDO 2.0

This is currently one of my favorite apps. It scans the area for wi-fi connections and easily loads the Web Browser when you select a particular access point.

From the Nokia Website . . .

Is there a WLAN network out there? The WLAN Wizard will tell you, store it and launch it for you! WLAN Wizard shows the available WLANs in the range of N80 Internet Edition directly on the idle screen and it is possible to start web browsing immediately. WLAN Wizard also automatically creates the needed WLAN settings making WLAN usage extremely easy.

Technically an application for the N80 but it still works with the E61. Tommi said that on the N80, WLan wizard minimizes to the standby screen, but regretably, on the E61, press and hold the menu button to see that the program is running in the background.

I’ve also read on a message board that there are some people who encountered problems when installed on E-Series devices. Personally, I haven’t encountered any.

After installing the sis file, it will show up in your Extras folder.

This nifty little app can be downloaded here. Best of all, it’s free!

I’ve blogged on a couple of occasions about free options for mobile instant messaging. I use yahoo messenger exclusively and I’ve tried to access it using Mig33 and Agile Messenger. I personally prefer Agile Messenger, but it costs USD$30 annually to use. Mig33 and Morange is free, but both are Java based apps and take considerably longer to load. I’m happy that E61 users have options out there, power users will undoubtedly gravitate towards Agile Messenger, while casual IM’ers to the freewares.

I don’t use the E61 to access my ym that much so right now I feel there is no need for me to puchase Agile Messenger, I’m quite content with Mig33, but like they say, you get what you pay for.

Instango is a new java based app for instant messaging using the open source Jabber platform.  It uses the different connectivity options of the E61 such as wireless lan, gprs or 3G.  And the best thing?  It’s optimized for the E61.  This is good news for E61 users, lots more free options for IM chat is popping up, and Instango is probably one of the best out there — small footprint, reliable and speedy.  I can’t wait to give this one a go when my wireless router is fixed by the end of the week.

Can someone help me with Dr. Divx? I got some emails before you guys saying that freeware Dr. Divx can be used to convert video files for the E61. I’ve toyed with it a couple of times and all I got were garbage. Can anyone send me their Dr. Divx settings that work?

Do almost everything with this nifty little java app.  Morange does push email, push rss (their own concoction), PIM synchronization, remote desktop access. . .  That’s a lot for a tiny 300kb app.

In the past couple of days, I haven’t had much to blog about as regards the wonderful E61.  I’m still playing SuperMiners and for the past couple of days I’ve been stuck in Level 36.  Hopefully by tonight I’ll get over this hurdle.

Also, I’ve been loving what Daniel has done to his blog.  Just in case you haven’t read his blog, head to e61life.  One of the most up to date blogs especially in the software front.  He has also made a couple of nice themes for the E61.  My current favorite is his bright yellow HotSun theme.  A port of Tribal, another beauty of a theme, is hopefully coming soon.

Another must have freeware is the Nokia Search app. You can pretty much search anything in your phone, from calendar entries to text messages to filenames.  It’s a pretty nifty tool to have especially if you keep voluminous text messages and emails.

S60v3FP1 (can they make this more acronym friendly???) please please please!

The new web browser and flash lite 2.0 (so we can watch youTube videos online) alone is worth it! I hope Nokia is listening to one of the 17 E-series blogs, but from what I’ve heard it will only be available in future phones. This sucks!

Listing of whats new in S60v3FP1.

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!
