Mobile Phone News

I posted a few days ago about a promotion we have running at the NSeries Mobile NSeries shop. in this place is a reminder on what is on offer:

The first title is Psiloc’s IR Remote. IR Remote from Psiloc allows you to control multimedia devices such as TV, HiFi set, CD, VCR, and DVD players with your mobile phone. I suppose it’s worth mentioning you actually need an IR port on your phone for it to work….

The second title is Smartmovie SmartMovie is a video player for Smartphones device, with a counterpart PC converter. With the converter, you may prepare any video clip for playback on your mobile device.

Third, we have PapyrusWith Papyrus you get a complete solution for managing your busy life. Papyrus is a complete management solution for S60 phones, offering several different smart-views and powerful tools for keeping track of a hectic schedule.

Fourth there is the excellent Profimail Profimail is a powerful e-mail client for S60 phones. It allows you to read your mail on the go and send text with attachments directly from your device. Send photos, recorded sound or clearly text messages to friends from anywhere. One of my favourite applications.

And lastly, there is Handy Taskman Handy Taskman allows you to keep tabs on different applications you are running concurrently on your Symbian Smartphone.

It recognises programs that are running and checks the size of remaining memory left on the Smartphone (RAM, Phone memory and memory card). Just chosen the program and enter the first letter of its name to start it.

The requested program can be started from the full-screen display list of recently launched programs. With Handy Taskman one can switch back and forth between selected programs, shut them off, delete them or shut off the whole group. The program compresses the applications in the working memory of the Smartphone to do this.

The offer runs until 31st January

Nokia Beta labs have released a location tagger app, which I would love to write about but things are just so hectic right at this time. So, pop over to AllAboutSymbian to get the lowdown from Rafe.

I received an email yesterday from an affiliate network, which included details of forthcoming handsets to be released in the coming months. The one that caught my eye straight away was the N78! The details suggested that the handset will be released in February 08, although as usual, release dates do change. The spec listed for the handset are:

• WiFi
• HSDPA
• 3.2 Megapixel camera
• 8GB internal memory
• Expandable Memory
• On board maps with A-GPS
• FM Transmitter

The FM transmitter is engaging attention, does that mean it has an FM radio, or does that mean it has one of those transmitters for sending signal to a nearby FM radio? Also, 8GB internal memory *plus* expandable memory?

The design of the phone is a standard monoblock design, similar to the N82, and is black. Keypad design wasn’t clear.

The N78 is supposed to be featuring S60 FP2 but that wasn’t listed in the spec, although to be fair the spec list just covers the main highlights. All very engaging attention, let’s hope it does release in February.
