Opera Mobile 10 – Nokia E72

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?

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

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.

Network Destinations

Nokia E72 has an additional tab for “Network Destinations”. The network destinations provides the ability to organize the network connections under specific destinations. The connections includes all data connections: WiFi and 3g networks.

The configuration of the network destination can be found under the following menus: Menu -> Ctrl. Panel-> Settings-> Connection -> Destinations.

By default following destinations exist: Access Point, Internet, Multimedia msg., WAP services, Intranet, Uncategorized. New connections are added by default  to the Uncategorized destination.

You might ask what the point of using this other then having the network connections organized?

Some of the applications network configuration works only with netowrk destination, it’s not possible to select specific connection. Nokia email’s client and Nokia’s internet browser are using this type of configuration. When adding new configuration pay attention to categorize it under the right destination so you’ll be able to use the application.
