Nokia N96 App Review – Nimbuzz

Screen Cap

Imagine having all your Instant messaging contacts into one interface. That’s cool enough? Not yet. How about being able to call and send file to some of them like a pictures, documents, etc.? Not yet satisfied? What if it’s free? Now we’re talking.

Nimbuzz is one of my favorite applications on Nokia N96. I can chat with all my contacts on my Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, Facebook contacts(Yes! The one and only Facebook), Skype (a solution to all those seeking for Skype application for N96), MSN, Myspace, ICQ, AIM and a lot more.

With this application you can send photos, documents, music and other files to your contacts. You can select send a file option which asks you for a file on your phone or a take a photo option. I tried sending a photo to my friend’s Facebook account which he received instantly with my message and a link to view the photo.

Calling your contacts on Nimbuzz, YM, Skype and others that supported call feature is easy to use and have a good quality too. They also offer Nimbuzz to landline/mobile call option but with credits you can avail through Nimbuzz Out.

I strongly advise to use this application through your Wi-Fi connection or if you have unlimited data access to avoid data transfer fees from your service provider. One problem I am having with this application is my music pauses after signing in my Nimbuzz account, but you can continue listening to music after pressing the play button while using the application. You can download Nimbuzz via Ovi or through their website at http://www.nimbuzz.com/en/mobile/download.

Description: Message Manager

Summary: Everyday you always end up with some time to spare and you also end up with not enough time to finish everything you have to do. Nokia Mobile phones have the Symbian S60 software that allows you to get the best  apps to solve your problems. You can compare mobile phones from nokia with others like HTC, but the simplicity of the software comes with the Nokia phone.There are many things nowadays to help you spread your time out with out causing your any inconvenience. Message in Time is an Application for your nokia N96 that also works on the Nokia N97 that allows you to write a message and chose who it is sent to and when its is sent to them. The great thing about Message in Time is that you can get it to seed the same message many contacts at the same time, which can really save time in the future for events like the new year and for invitations to events.

Overview: I know that this application has lots of features that the nokia n96 already has but the ability to send messages in the future is a really handy tool. Now for the ability to message people and have it deliver later on isn’t actually free although it probably should be but it costs $12 so its not the most expensive thing on the planet. Message in Time does have a 25 text free trial so you can check it out. Read more

Nokia N96 Game Review – Gomoku

Filed under Games, Nokia, Review, S60

screenshot0116Name: Gomoku

Genre: Classic Board Game

Summary: You would have to of have your head in the ground for your whole life to not hear of Gomoku. For anyone who doesn’t know Gomoku is a ancient Chinese game that was once played more than chess in which you have to simply connect 5 stones in a row. There are many different versions of this game available for your nokia n96 with all the same goals and objectives so the only thing that can really change is your opponents. What this version of Gomoku has that others don’t is the ability to chose what type of playing style the opponent AI which progress harder and harder to keep up the competition.

Overview: If your into these classic simple games then you probably already have a version of this game but my advice would be to delete it and install this version. The different styles of playing not only are entertaining but help you learn to play better too. Gomoku as far as I can tell is a free applications but there are so many cracked games out there it becomes hard to tell. Read more

Description: Call and Msg Manager

Summary: I’m sure everyone or at least most people have received phone calls on their nokia n96, normally its easy to ignore but it can still get annoying. Easy Reject is an application that perfects the art of rejecting calls and messages with out you even knowing. Easy Reject can import your numbers you what to avoid from your phonebook and your call log and then it will reject their calls and messages without any sort of notification at all. Easy Reject also lets you check who has called, how many times they called and what the messages say.

There’s still the same problem with private numbers so its not exactly perfect but its still very handy application. Easy Reject cost $18.50 but there is a 20 call trial so you can see how good the application is, which is what you can download below Read more

Description: Data Manager

Summary: For phones like the nokia n96 you really need to buy it on a tariff to make it affordable and because the internet is so useful on your nokia N96 its nice to have a few free MB of packet data to surf. The problem that can arise is that if your don’t have unlimited packet plan then it can cost quite allot to if you go over your quota. Data Quota is an application that monitors your internet usage and you can put in your bill date and data plan so it can warn you when you have only a few MB. Nowadays everyone has wifi and that’s free so Data Quota doesn’t count the MB you use.

Nokia N96 Theme Review – Solstice

Filed under Nokia, Review, S60, themes

screenshot0103

Name: Solstice

Creator: PiZero

Summary:It’s all about personal preference when it comes to themes, some people like simple plane themes and others like detailed and interesting themes. Personally I like a bit of a detailed theme but it still has to be neat and simple and those kind of themes don’t come around that often but there are many themes that come close, like this one. Solstice uses some of the nicest colours that I have ever seen, I cant really put it any better than that. Solstice has a very nice icon set  but they don’t really make the theme look any better, probably because the background image is so good.

Overview: When I fist saw this theme I new now good it looked but I never thought it would look this calm and simple, so I love it and will probably keep it until a better one comes around. Solstice is made by PiZero so you should know by now that means it has quality and like all the themes its free so it’s for everyone that wants to try it. Read more

Description: Expense manager Utilities

Summary: Over the past few days I’ve been going on about applications with lots of features and lots of applications with only one feature and it seems to me that applications with one feature does its job better. If this truly is the case then you are going to need loads of applications which is going to be a bit of a pain. Smart Money Basics isn’t just one application it is in fact 3 applications that are all there to help sort out your finances. Smart Money Basics includes Handy ExpenseHandy Shopper and Handy Converter which can add up your expenses, convert money or sizes and create a list of items you need to buy. Each application works extremely well and there nothing better in the money managements department.

Overview: Since its three applications its hard to do a review on all of them all but overall they all work fine and they work really well with each other. Each application can be bought on its own but you save 40% if you buy it in this pack but this pack is $29.95 which is quite allot. You should note that when you install the applications it creates a new folder in you menu. If you want to try this applications you can download the 14day trial below. Read more
