has new update,  version 1.05.

Most of the new features not relevant to the Nokia E72 (S60 5th support,Nokia N97 Home screen widget) and other features aren’t very intersting (Additional ‘Last charge’ information at main application,Check for updates feature,Send to a friend feature) but the last general feature in the change log (Minor improvements, bugfixes and opitimization) might be interesting for current users.

The only compliance I got about this application is that the timer is covered by the vendor logo. I think, and correct if I wrong, that this issue solved in the new version.

The application can be downloaded from here.

According to Fring’s blog, Skype blocked the connection between networks. Skype offers it’s own application to Nokia E72 but it doesn’t support video calls like Fring application.

Opera Mini designed to support phones with limited CPU and memory who can’t handle web page processing (rendering) locally. The Opera Mobile browser is capable of handling the pages locally although it’s possible also to use Opera’s server for handling the page rendering (Settings->turbo). I installed the Opera Mobile version 10 on my Nokia E72.

The application starts with “speed dial” screen, screen that contains shortcut to up to 9 web pages include screen shot of the page. On the top section of the browser an address  and google  search box.

The browser display the page quite fast and provides very easy access to the page using a selection area. use the arrows to select specific section of the page and click on the middle navigation key to zoom. Zoom out is done using the right soft key.

Left softkey displays several options: Address bar, Search box, navigation back and forward, Reload and browsing back to the speed dial screen. Additional options available when clicking on small arrow under the address bar. The additional options include access to bookmarks, browsing history, Save pages locally and settings.

The browser support tabs to access several web pages at the same time. the advantage over Nokia web browser is the ability to open tab. Above the address bar you will found plus (+) sign click on it and new browsing options will appear.

Click on # + [1-9] for accessing links from the speed dial screen. if you don’t remember the shortcut click on the # and wait, the browser displays all shortcuts.

The * is used for fast access to browser features. Just click on the * and wait to see all options.

The browser doesn’t support flash content so it’s not possible to watch movies. Anyhow I prefer the youtube application for watching youtube movies.

Opera Mobile is great web browser, give it a try it’s for free.

Download from the  E72′s web browser: m.opera.com

If you have a lot of patient you can wait for the new Symbain version. It’s not on the first nor second priority list of the development team so I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.

Following list of supported countries after July 1st: United States, U.K., Canada, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Korea and Taiwan.

If your country isn’t listed above you might find Opera as the alternative browser to Skyfire. After playing with Opera 10 few minutes it looks like it’s even better then Skyfire. I’m planning on testing Opera 10 few more days and then write post about it.

The E72 home screen consists of 2 types of shortcuts:

• Applications shortcuts - 6 shortcuts for running application straight from the home screen.
• Home screen applications - Interactive application that provide information on the home screen.

Application Shortcuts

Menu-> Ctrl. panel-> Settings->General-> Personalization ->Standby mode-> Mode settings-> Application Shortcuts.

Here you can enable/disable the applications shortcuts or replacing the applications.

It’s also possible to use web site address as application shortcut.

Home Screen Applications

Menu-> Ctrl. panel-> Settings->General-> Personalization ->Standby mode-> Mode settings-> Home Screen Applications

Select the application you would like to have on the Home screen.

Some important applications:

Message Notification – Display notification at bottom of the screen only when new SMS/MMS message is waiting.

Missing Call Notification – Displays notification at bottom of the screen only when you have missing call

Calendar –  Display upcoming meetings from the calendar

Music Player - Display music player control when the musing player is being used.

Email home screen plugin should be configured from different menu :

Menu-> Ctrl. panel-> Settings->General-> Email -> Global settings -> Home Screen . It supports to email accounts: Primary and Secondary (Left, Right keys to switch between them).

Mailbox – Select which mailbox account to display. you need to have mail account configured.

Preview – How to display the headers.

• Weather worldwide (include daily update)
• World time
• Exchange rate
• World map

But this time I would like to focus on one of the new plug-in, Connect.

Connect provides the ability to manage internet connections like I always wanted. The plug-in provides the service which the Network Destinations and Smart Connect application don’t provide.

The plug-in creates virtual destination and internet connection called: Psiloc connect.

Just use the above connection for all applications and the easy manage the connectivity to the internet.

• Auto connection to Wifi networks when available instead of using expensive 3G connection
• Block or allow 3G connection.
• Block or allow 3G roaming.

It cost 12.28$, but after I paid 3$ for internet connectivity for less then a minute for me  it worth it. For extra 2.5$ you’ll get also safe for protecting personal data.
