Hey Congrats on new phone.
1. For data transfer and other purposes Nokia PC Suite is good enough.
2. for music files, I recommend using MP4/M4A format with 48kbps joint sterio.
for conversion; you can just drop the files on nokia pc suite and it converts, u can change the default settings.
alternatively u can use dbpoweramp which is faster, and that way u can copy the files directly to the desired folder on memory card.
3. for Video: again u can choose nokia pc suite..
but I use Smart Movie application in phone , so use its converter for converting files to XviD.
4. applications I use .. GMail, Mobyko, Airtel - mchek for payment of postpaid, Smartmovie, MS.Dict (a must have), Micropool, Snakes, PVR Tickets, Geeta, SMS2.0,IM=, FExplorer, Autolock and ofcourse my fav.. OggPlay
install AutoLock v1.1 (.sisx) from here *s60addons.com/autolock/ FREEWARE
Install FExplorer to get around the phone quiet fast, and if shows details of the phone, and you can actually reboot ur phone with 1click. www.gosymbian.com
5.
Dont try the other firmware posted on forums.. thats not much of a use, people do that if they get mobile from grey market and want to change the language .. like Arabic to English, or Chinese.
6. for showing battery details, firmware etc etc.. u can use FExlorer, thats why every1 says its a must have on Phone Memory in a Symbian phone

7. its gr8 to see u doing torrents and skype calls with it. Bro whats left in there. doesn phone send sms too :lol lol

enjoy

I used wonder this a lot when I got my first Symbian, but over the time I realize that it is bcoz the Firmware version varies with language and Country. so don't bother about it much just update it when Nokia Software Updater has a new version for you. Incase ur current Firmware gives you trouble perform a hard reset that will work out fine (* + Green + 3 + Power).

How is Mobyko? Does that backeup your SMS too?
To secure my mobile phone I am using WaveSecure account. Using WaveSecure in case my phone is stolen I can still login to the WaveSecure website from a PC & either lock or remove all my information & data from my phone Memory & Memory card.
The most important data for me is my contact List.
SMS can go, I don't care.
Videos, pics, music is in my PC too so they can also be removed without any problem.
Notes & Calender are always synced with Outlook 2007.
I made an account at Noka Ovi & backed up all my contacts there. In case I buy a new phone, or my current phone is stolen I can still get all the information from there again.

Nokia calls N Series mobile phones a Multimedia Computer, well, I m using it like a multimedia Computer only
... kya baat hai way to go man...!OH ITS AWESOME .. but never tried it for sms, does it has new option now havent taken a backup in a month.
2ndly, hardly any phone allows you to transfer the sms to new phones, i have never able to do it,
e.g. like today i need to transfer the sms from motorola to nokia, but there was no way i could do that. do you know any way!
Do you pay anything for WaveSecure?
Nokia Ovi .. havent tried this either, man there is always something new damm...
for contacts backup. what I do is -
1. Primary is Transfer to memory card (Contacts > options> Copy to - memory card) after that, I use nokia pc suite and transfer the E:\Others\Contacts folder to PC.
2. secondary is - Mobyko..
I don't think I need anything more than that. what ya think.
Have you tried FExplorer yet?

If it is Nokia to Nokia then you can use the Migration Wizard in the phone itself or PC Suite
If it is Sony to Sony, you can use MyPhoneExplorer.
I found Oxycube, a Symbian Phone management application like PC Suite. Its really good but costs $100
Its free. It came pre-installed in my Nokia N79. It can backup your data to a WaveSecure server over GPRS (no WiFi) & there are many other features like AutoLock on Symchange etc. It is now owned by Nokia.
Nokia Ovi Suite is preferred for Nokia N79 more then PC Suite but OVI suite right now doesn't come with Contact & SMS management like PC Suite. I cannot send a SMS from my PC using Ovi Suite like I can with PC Suite so I m not using Ovi Suite right now. Ovi suite can be used for syncing music but for that I use WMP11 & to transfer videos I use TMPGEnc Xpress. So for me Ovi suite is almost useless.
Just signup at Nokia Ovi website. For those who sync there phone with outlook 2007, this is even better. How many of you sync your phone with Outlook or Windows or Mac? I am a big Microsoft Outlook user when I am at home so I synced my contact list, taska, to-do & calender of N79 to Outlook via bluetooth using PC Suite. The benefits are...
1) I have same contacts on my Mobile Phone & Outlook address book
2) If I add a new contact to Outlook Address book, then it is also added automatically to my phone which can then sync it to Nokia Ovi over WiFi.
3) If I m outside somewhere & add a new task, or contact or to-do item then on sync it will be transferred to my PC too.
I don't check E-Mails in my phone cos there is no POP3 or IMAP support in Vodafone Live (its in more costly version called Vodafone Mobile Connect). however, suppose i do then on the next sync the E-Mails can also be transferred to Outlook.
Syncing is good, I automatically have a backup of all my contacts & tasks.
I backed up these to Outlook on my PC & that is enough. Same contacts everywhere.
No, I was not able to find a proper version so I m using X-plore now.

Yes, I tried this. I have configured GMail & Yahoo Mail in my phone. Ideally they both should work just fine in the phone's Mail Client but they don't when using Vodafone Live. They work fine using WiFi.
Edit - I have no other choice but to stick with Webkit & Opera Mini

I checked the whole memory card & removed all the traces of Opera. Seems like there is some registry file in the phone memory which tells the Software that a higher version is already installed. Either I format & reinstall the OS or wait for official Opera 9.5 for S60 to release.
I E-Mailed a representative of Opera today & got a reply.(being a MVP helps). Although these are not his words, but from what I found is that Opera Mobile 9.5 will come to Symbian S60. Opera used to get money from Nokia, Sony etc when these manufacturers used to bundle Opera as the default browser with there phone. However, now Nokia has there own browser in form of Webkit & they have decided not to bundle Opera Mobile in there phones. Nokia has the biggest market share out there & this way Opera used to get lots of money from Nokia which now they are not. Sony is also abandoning UIQ & now they are also going to use Symbian S60 which means they will get Webkit based browser too instead of Access Netfront browser. Same goes with all the other Symbian Series 60 mobile phone manufacturers like Samsung etc.
This leaves the other Mobile phone platforms out there namely Windows Mobile, Android, iPhone Blackberry & Palm Pre. Android & Palm are both Linux based & use Webkit. so does iphone. Windows Mobile comes with IE 6 Mobile right now which isn't very new, fast or standard complaint due to which manufacturers prefer to bundle Opera Mobile on Windows Mobile Platform. Because of this the first priority for Opera right now is Windows Mobile platform as they can capture a big market there due to the lack of IE, this also will change once Microsoft releases IE 8 Mobile with Windows Mobile 7 having new standard compliance.
Webkit can soon dominate the mobile phone browser market share due to availability for Symbian S60, iPhone, Android & Palm Pre. IE 8 Mobile is no where in news right now, Mozilla's Fennec is also at a very primary state. Opera needs to pay all the attention to Windows Mobile & touch screen phones right now as the future of mobile phones is Touchscreen.
Opera 9.5 will indeed come as there is a big market to capture for them in the form of Series 60 5th edition which is also touch screen based like Windows Mobile phones. If it can be released for S60 touch screen phones then it can also be easily ported to S60 3rd Edition phones. The availability for UIQ platform shows that porting is possible as other the the UI & some libraries, UIQ is after all a Symbian OS phone.
According to the information available at Opera Mobile blog,
Till the, the users of Symbian Series 60 can use Webkit for dynamic webpages with a desktop like experience & Opera Mini for light browsing. I have decided to use Opera Mini all the time as the heap memory in N79 for JAVA applications is a lot compared to my old K750i & cos I m on a paid Vodafone Live service where downloading less data matters. When I need to view a full website, I can always use Webkit of GPRS or WiFi.

This just in, Today I chedked for an update to my phone using the Software Update in the phone itself over WiFi. It said there is an update available & I clicked to download it after backing up all my contacts & phone data. It downloaded 4.6 MB of data & updated my phone to firmware version 11.049 however all my phone data remained intact.
Slick & some other applications are now crashing. What should I do? I want to format my meory card & reinstall all the applications, but will that remove all my application settings too?
The black edition looks like as cheap as Nokia N82 black in looks. Good that i bought the Seal gray model.

I formatted my memory card & reinstalled all the applications again but Opera 8.65 is now giving error halfway during installation "Unable to Install". Leave it, I will wait for Opera 9.5 for Symbian S60. The only other method is to make my phone go back to factory settings which after configuring all the apps, I won't do again.
FOTA update is good, nothing was removed from phone & everything stayed intact. Its better then the update through PC method.
Nokia 2.0 is crashing, so I installed Nokia maps 3.0 beta.
Btw...GPS never worked for me even previously. When I start Nokia Maps & select to check my position, it does nothing...just transfers some data. Same goes with Google Mobile Maps which just says "Seeking satalite (3)" & does nothing. I didn't keep it running for more then 30 seconds though, not that patient as I don't require GPS in lucknow atleast that too over Pay-per-kb Vodafone Live
Slick is working now but it crashes when I sign out of Google Talk.
Guys, I need help. With my old K750i I could control my PC by using the phone as a bluetooth remote control to control the mouse or Media Player but there is no such feature in N79, is there some application which can let me use my Phone as a remote control for WMP or Media Center.
By the way, I think I found the best bluetooth Stereo Headphones available out there & its from Sony Ericsson. Nokia BH-103 which I preferred earlier had a problem that the earphones were permanently attached to the bluetooth handsfree. Today I was checking the SE website & found Sony Ericsson Stereo Bluetooth handsfree HBH-DS220 & DS200
*www.sonyericsson.com/cws/file/1.175458.1192993167/HBHDS220_product_quality_image_1.png
The best part about this handsfree is that you can use any earphone with this instead of being limited to only the attached handsfree like in case of BH-103. I can very well attach EP-630 to get a mic, high quality audio & a not to long cable compared to EP-630 + bundled wired handsfree with N79.
Can anyone find itss cost? I will inquire in Sony world on sunday only

This just in....
Ever since I saw the Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, I didn't like it much but I fell in love with the new "Touch Icons". They are just perfect for what I like, flat & 2D Gradient which look awesome when used on a mobile Phone's screen which we keep right in front of our faces, so they icon prespective should be Flat like Tango Icons & not like Vista/3D.
Today during my ordeal for a good Symbian theme, I found that Symbian theme designer Nahid has relesed his Black & Blue Theme for S60 3.2 phones with Touch Icons extracted by Ian Flahorn. I was making a theme with Tango icons but after finding this, the plan is cancled as Touch Icons are better then Tango Icons for a mobile phone (Tango look better on a computer screen).
I am using the black & blue theme now permanently & have requested Nahid to make a theme with Touch Icons but gray color so that it can easily become the most easily usable theme out there. Lets see if he accepts my request & we can work together.

That's too costly for me right now. I m broke. I m currently using HPM-75 with the given handsfree.
By the way, I inquired & the Silicon Screen protector costs Rs 300. Does it costs that much? Its just a film. The guy there told me to keep using my current screen protector (Rs 50 thin plastic sheet) & when it peels off then use the Silicon screen protector.
Tomorrow I will go to the Nokia product distributor in Lucknow to inquire about some Nokia bluetooth handsfree..
Guys, I have started working on my own theme for Symbian Series 60 9.3 OS with FP2. It is going to be based on tango icons for now. How is it?
