Summary: If anyone does software design you will know that media and Gui are the two largest files in most software, the same could be said about your nokia n96. It’s funny that we all want phones with a high megapixel count even though you screen can only display a much smaller amount, its fair enough if you are exporting the image to a PC or other devices but for a image that only going to display on you phone it may as well be the size of your screen. Resizer is an application that will let you search through your files and then it will let you re-size it to a smaller image or a bigger image. The image resolution can be changed to any size and it wont lose any quality unless your making an image bigger.

Overview: Resizer is a nice little application I haven’t seen any software on phone or PC that works this easily. There’s a few things missing in this application like the lack of adjustable settings and the UI is a bit lame but it gets the job done. Resizer is a free application so you can try it just for a few days to see how it goes. Read more

Description: File Manager

Summary: There are tones and tones of file managers for the nokia n96, which is great because of the 16Gb internal memory that needs to be sorted. It’s fair enough that nokia have a pre-installed file manager but its just so useless that I don’t see a point in using it. That being the case you have to chose what file manager to use, DynaFile is a new file manager and this one of the best. DynaFile has all the normal functions that’s in every other file manager plus a Installation manager, uninstall manager, boot manager, Application manager and a certification tool. The most handy feature I find is the blue-tooth inbox manager which makes it so much easier to find and move files you receive from bluetooth.

Overview: On paper this DynaFile sounds perfect in practice its not so perfect, only because the boot manager doesn’t work on the nokia n96 but everything else is fine. One thing I didn’t mention is the key shortcuts which make the whole usage of the application very easy, but you’ll need to go to “more info” to find out what they all do. DynaFile looks like it was translated but I could be mistaken but it still in beta form which means its free so I think I’ll be using it as my file manager. Read more
