Sajid Ali Anjum at Ssajisoft developed a app for S60 device which make you feel Windows OS. SajiOS v5 gives you twelve standby icons instead of the usual six or seven. But you'll lose the custom actions of the softkeys, and there's no quick access to the calendar, search box, etc. through the active standby items, so the net gain is not that much.


SajiOS won't display the usual application icons either, because it can only handle icons and background images in flash format. The built-in icon set is quite limited. For example, there's no a suitable icon for the SMS application.

Just give it a try you will really like it...!

Download SajiOS free for Symbian OS.

Russian mobile maestro Eldar Murtazin comes through again, this time with the first reported screenshot of Nokia’s highly, highly anticipated upcoming Maemo 5.
Doesnt look that much like Symbian, lets just hope that this OS will rock.Murtazin lays down a screen capture of Nokia’s new Linux-based beauty. As we all know, this time around Maemo is destined for a whole lot more than just a few Internet Tablets that are filling a hole that isn’t there — that’s right, a whole range of next-generation handsets are in the pipeline and due to be fueled by Maemo 5. I think Maemo 5 looks more appealing then Symbian -hope this Linux os works well too.

We all have S60 Device with GPS, but consider the situation when you need GPS signal on your laptop (For Google Earth)or another phone?, There is nothing simpler than install a free program ExtGPS. It is a simple Java program to run and the phone suddenly becomes a bluetooth GPS module to connect to any other device.

In this ExtGPS app you have to authorize the application to connect (Bluetooth) and the application area, through which the data obtained. The two signal lights in this app indicate whether you are within range of satellites and the device is currently connected via Bluetooth. Unfortunately, this application can not compel the phone to see himself through bluetooth, so that those who thought that would go to use this application to make TomToma with internal GPS chip must disappoint.

Nokia has introduced the Ovi Sync service to provide an online solution to let all of us enjoy the convenience of keeping our contacts backed up without much of a hassle. Changing, loosing mobile phone or getting software upgrade: Ovi is the solution, sit back and relax ,with Ovi Sync you’re back in business with in a minute.

Many Ovi users face problems while Synchronizing their data via OVI Sync. service. At most lots of my friend's contacted me, when they lost their Contact data on Ovi Sync service while sync after software upgrade, changing handset or perhaps when they lost their phone.

The main problem is in the procedure of getting data back :-

1- When we face such problem of losing device or software upgrade,we use to go to OVI site and send new setting via sms using "Manage Your Device" section.

2- Then we Sync with that new setting received, And all data (Contact, Notes, Calender ) on Ovi get lost.

3- From this point their is no turning back.

So what's the problem-Note Ovi assume the phone as primary restore point, And when Ovi finds the Contact, Notes & Calender empty on new device it replace all the data on Ovi server with null,i.e. all of your data get lost.


This time,I am going to tell you how to retrieve your Backup data using Ovi Sync. backup service without too much hassle.

1- For a start you’ll have to log into Ovi.com, and select restore device (Remember what we have done previously avoid that.). The main reason is if you do not do so, it will assume the phone is the primary restore point and send the contacts back to Ovi.com (in this situation it’s empty if you get a new phone or have software upgrade)

2-Once you have select to restore the device, sync up with Ovi.com and it should get the contacts and other important information back to your mobile device.

That's it.

If you have any question using any Nokia service please feel free to contact me via e-mail (On contact page).And do post comments , I love to hear from my visitors.

As we already spotted the news of new Nokia N900 (RX15 Design) device in our previous post,Now we got our hand on Exclusive sneak preview of the Nokia N900 prototype device.The photos appeared on the Mobile Bulgaria website.After taking a closer look I instantly noticed two big thing which I don’t like about the new N900- It doesn't have a Xenon flash, which I was expecting on Nokia's next release after N97 and the second thing I noticed is -its pretty small Keyboard. I am expecting some improvement in hardware section and sure this new RX-51 design will come up with some new enhancement.

New update:-

Here’s N900 Spec :
*Quadband GSM/GPRS/EDGE, tri-band WCDMA (850/1700/2100)
*Bluetooth + EDR
*Wi-Fi
*FM Transmitter
*Slide-out QWERTY keypad
*Nokia BL-5J 1320 mAh battery
*5 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens

I am expecting to get my hands on this New N900, if folks from WOM World/Nokia give me a chance.

Today, we noticed through Engadgetmobile that FCC has now approved a New Nokia Device Type RX-51.So what is RX, as we know our standard Nokia device has RM Design.

"Nokia RX-51 get certification, and we were immediately intrigued; standard Nokia phones have an "RM" designation, so "RX" has us thinking that this is no ordinary phone. Taking a peek at the SAR documentation reveals that it rolls deep with AWS 3G, just the kind that T-Mobile USA needs to do its thing. The final piece in this amazing puzzle has to be the ID placement doc, which shows the outline of a device far wider than your standard dumbphone"
