Nokia N96 Black Edition

Finally back again to provide you all with latest news and software for the nokia n96. As you all probable know the nokia N96 is a quite attractive phone and now nokia have released a all black version obviously for the people who don’t think the n96 is black enough. When I heard of this phone I thought that nokia mite have tried to improve the phone but at least on the inside but I guess its not to be. Apart from the obvious black sides the only other visual difference is the pattern on the back which I think looks worse that the original (or now know as the nokia n96 grey). I think this new colour makes the phone look a lot more badass but I personally prefer the cleaner, shinier look of the grey n96 but I can understand why people would buy the black one but its such a minimal difference that it will make too many people jealous.

Nokia N96 App Review – FontRouterMan

Name: FontRouterMan

Description: Font Adjusting Tool

Summary: Changing the font on your Nokia N96 is quite a task but an even bigger task is finding a font that actually looks good on your N96. FontRouterMan changes that by letting you adjust Length, Size, Font Style, Letter Spacing, Word Spacing, Bitmap Type and min and max Size. Also FontRouterMan will let you chose a font and ask where to find it so this means you can change the font even if you phone is not hacked because it can read fonts from anywhere. FontRouterMan will let you adjust any font so that its very usable and is another way to personalise your phone just to how you like it.

Overview: I know the font I’m using isn’t looking that clear at the moment let me explain why, Every time you want to change some thing about your font then you have to restart your phone before it takes effect. So this will take a while to do my advise is not to turn any setting down and only increase them about 3-5 points to start with and use bold. After that you will probably what to change it some more and I would say to do that over the course of the day because I guess that the phone won’t like to be restarted every 5 minutes. There is two Applications that you have to install but they are both in the link at the bottom as well as some fonts.FontRouterMan is in the RC (release candidate) stage which means that it’s basically ready for distribution and its free.

Please note that one of the applications needs to be signed!

Nokia N96 App Review – Best Profiles

Name: Best Profiles

Description: Profile Manager

Summary: I haven’t been impressed with too many applications these days normally because they only have one use. Its going to be a mouth full to tell you what Best Profiles can do for your Nokia N96 but ill give it a go. To start with lets go through the basics, Best Profiles will let you chose to change your profile everyday or just the selected days, you can also set up key words and whenever an event happens in your calender that uses that key word it will change to a selected profile. Best Profiles will also use your GSM location to chose a profile (which so far I have only been able to define a country but you mite be able to work or home locations) and of course it can change your profile when you charge your phone. With all this going on it could well happen that your profiles overlap so Best Profiles has a priority setting for each profile change it does. Now lets get onto the good stuff, first for every different profile you can have different wallpapers, Themes and sound notifications. Also upon activation of a profile you can set it to run multiple applications, different backlight settings and even bluetooth activity. All this needs a bit of planning what if you just want a quick change well Best Profiles has the ability to let you activate any profile at a certain time, after a certain time, for a certain time and even lock for a certain time if your not sure what other profile mite activate.

Overview: On its own Best Profiles doesn’t seem that much but if you think of the possibilities for example my previous post was power mp3 that could start playing music as soon as it opened so if you set that as the application your profile runs it could be an alarm clock that doesn’t stop. Just think what it could do I’m 100% sure that someone will think of an even better use of this application and I would love to hear about it when you do. Unfortunately I have some bad news Best Profiles isn’t free its only £6/$10 but I know that it will put most people off which is a shame because it is a good application and one day there will be a time this application will help you.

Nokia N96 Game Review – TibiaME

Name: TibiaME

Genre: Massive Online Multiplayer.

Summary: I’m going to be honest and say that I have never heard of this game but it looks like its been around for a good while. TibiaME has been out for a while but their is a spring update and since they only update two times a year its quite big. TibiaME is really “WOW” for the Nokia N96 with thousands of online players, 3,000 different screens of map, 35 different creatures to battle and over 100 items to find. The graphics have to be mentioned because it reminds me of “Pokemon” and I thing that’s quite impressive for a phone. Since this game is based online you mite thing that it’s going to cost a lot to play but the surprisingly it only uses about 400kbytes an hour.

Overview: In theory its got lots of potential but once again the nokia n96 lets it down with its lack of Internet stability. The other thing that lets the game down is the size of the screen which I’m sure there’s a version with a higher resolution but the one they say to download only takes up about half the screen. TibiaME has a free version which has lots of gameplay but the premium only cost 3 euros a month and has lots of benefits. If you like the idea then check the free version but the screen is just too small for me to want it Read more

Nokia N96 App Review – My Ringtone

Name: My Ringtone(1.21),

Description: Mobile Mp3/Ringtone editor,

Summary: There is a few mp3 editor applications and even thought you only need one the problem I found was that many of them didn’t work on my Nokia N96. My Ringtone isn’t the first one that worked but it was the first one that worked the way I wanted it to. My Ringtone does exactly what you want an mp3 editor to do, find a song, listen to it, edit it and then save. What is good about My Ringtone is that all the buttons need to edit the mp3 and the split timers really help find the exact place to trim. Visually My Ringtone is quite good it has 5 different themes and a nice visualiser, which I know is pointless for an application that your only going to use one or twice a month but the default theme is really ugly.

Overview: Its my dream that one day nokia will incorporate this in there own operating system as like a slider that adjusts the start point because its something so basic but no one really want their ring tone to start from start. My Ringtone does all that you could want but there is a problem and that is that it’s not free. Its not that expensive only $5 but if that’s too much there is an older version(1.08) that’s free. There is a trial for the latest version which I suggest you try it. Read more

Nokia N96 App Review – Ozone

Name: Ozone

Description: Mobile web browser

Summary: There’s quite a few mobile web browsers such as Opera, Skyfire, UCweb and now Ozone but which is right for your Nokia N96. Ozone is a serious competitor its more simple interface really gets the best of the screen and the speed is almost unbeatable for any phone web browser. The key features that Ozone has is that it can download any type of file, it also has great scrolling, zooming, tab management and overall performance. The real party piece is that Ozone scores a 94/100 on the acid 3 test which is very high and the only one that even came close to it was skyfire with a 54/100.

Overall: I like it seems fast I mean really fast it makes my favorite web browsers skyfire feel slow and generic. I have one problem and that is the cursor control is so annoying because it moves in squares which is sometimes unusable. As all web browsers its free and is a valuable addition to any phone and I advise you check it out, in my opinion Ozone is the best on paper but I will still be using skyfire. Read more

Nokia N96 Accessories Review – InvisibleSHIELD

Name: InvisibleSHIELD

Description: Invisible Phone Protector

Summary: Spending so much on a Nokia N96 makes you want to protect that investment, invisibleSHIELD is know to many as the greatest protector available on the market. InvisibleSHIELD uses a very thin(0.2mm) “nano-memory” film that the military uses to protect helicopter blades and is extremely durable. Zagg owner of invisibleSHIELD has now released a protector for the Nokia N96 which will cover either the screen or the whole body. With the thickness of invisibleSHIELD you will never notice looking at the device or even pressing buttons and any scratch attempt will leave a small indent but invisibleSHIELD will heal itself in a matter of seconds.

Nokia N96 App Review – Animated Sms

Name: Animated SmS

Description: SmS Utility,

Summary: The digital age has brought new slang and with that in mind developers have been updating all these different types of applications to produce slang. Animated SmS is the latest in emotions and animated images for n96 users. The Application itself has great support and many download-able extras and because its an update to application you know that it will be updated regularly. Animated SmS works well and feels like the original nokia SmS Application and the Animations are nicely detailed, the end result is a very professional feeling Sms Tool.

Overview: What I like best about this application is that it has no icon in the applications menu its just a different option when creating a Sms (check screenshot). The application cost $9.99 and will only appeal to people actually use Animated images and emotions, a trial is available but it only last 2 days. With the amount of support e.g dedicated website I’m sure some will enjoy. Read more
