Recently I wrote a post about Opera mobile 10 web browser. Several people comment that the Opera mini is also not so bed. So I decided to download it and try.
iON BatteryTimer – New version 1.05

iON BatteryTimer
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.

Posted by admin in Applications, Free Applications, Updates on July 18, 2010
Fring the application that supports several messanger and VoIP clients in one application, no longer supports Skype network.
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 Mobile 10 – Nokia E72
Posted by admin in Applications, Free Applications on July 17, 2010
Opera offers two types of web browsers: Opera Mini and Opera Mobile.
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.
Bye Bye Skyfire – Hello Opera?
Posted by admin in Applications, Free Applications on July 4, 2010
Skyfire, the best browser for Nokia E72, isn’t longer support in most of the countries. The reason for that is the need for Skyfire development team to focous on the new Skyfire 2.0 version. This version is not supported by Symbian and therefor not supported by Nokia E72.
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.
World Traveler – Connect plug-in
Posted by admin in Applications, Free Applications on June 15, 2010
World traveler is free application which is pre-installed on the Nokia E72. The application provides following information for free:
- 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.
