There's actually a 7650 version of Doom out there too, somewhere.

Yes, it's excellent. It's done by Wildpalm software, and it works on the 6600/N-Gage as well, as well as some other symbian devices but there are sound problems on models other then the N-gage/7650/3650

http://www.wildpalm.co.uk/soundserver.html edit: it appears they have released a newer sound server to enable sound with the Doom shareware on newer handsets....

It's only about 4mb though (compared to about 16mb for C2Doom with wad), which is grand for the later symbian phones, but the 7650 having only 4mb in total meant that to play Doom you had virtually no more space for pictures or anything...:D

The website is www.wildpalm.co.uk, they for some reason don't have Doom listed anymore, but if you do some snooping the files are still hosted on their site....

The above is the site for C2Doom. As mentioned before, you can play most build engine games and doom engine games with it, so relieve those great memories of Duke 3d and Shadow Warrior on the bus, alone or with a friend in co-op :cool:

Am I the only person that used my Symbian devices solely for gaming?

For WM5 Smartphones, I recommend Papyrus and Facade, both by SBSH. Papyrus is a calendar/tasks app (light years ahead of the built-in one), and Facade is a great homescreen plug in to display tasks/apps/shortcuts.

I've just found these myself and not tried them yet, but they seem promising...

- Phone unlocking ?

- Read information from other peoples bluetooth ?
On review of this it seems to allow you to examine various ports on your phone ... all very technical and boring



I'm gonna try some of these out now and will let you know

There are some interesting applications for the SE K700i here

I have heard of a new Irish website that will offer mobile phonebook backup service. They have loads of phones compatible. you can backup your phonebook and text messages from your normal mobile phones to the phonebackup online account. you can then access, manage or retrieve all your stuff at anytime and from anywhere using your login and pw. A bit like a hotmail or gmail account but with your text messages and all your contacts instead of your emails.
first service in Ireland offering that as far as I know. It will be quite handy for lost or stolen mobile phones.
their website is www.phonebackup.ie but they are not live yet. I have read in the papers that they will launch their stuff at the end of March. But defo a website to bookmark if you're like me and forget your phone in a cab every second sat nite on the piss :-P

Feel free to post the link here as it would be in keeping with the purpose of this thread.

Of course if it's a warez site I'll ban you and if you don't post it I'm just going to assume it was a warez site you were pimping and I'll ban you. You have 24 hours.

if you have a pocket pc phone (i-mate, qtek, XDA, MDA etc...) then i reccomend skype, ministumbler (WLAN enabled devces only), PHM regedit, adobe reader 2.0 for pocket pc and PocketTV

I like 'theft' for s60. If you phone is turned of wrongly, sim changed certain text message sent to it the phone goes into an alarm mode and you need a code to stop it. It displays a number to ring and declares the phone is lost or stolen. Nothing works untill the code is put in.

  Bluetooth apllication for sending files/messages etc...
  Mostly handy for bluejacking ;-)

Tried this, it's fairly pants. Worst part is, I can't uninstall it since it isn't listed in my 6680 applications manager, even though it's listed in the application managers installation log. Ghey.

Hi all,

This works with Symbian (S60) mobiles. Haven't tested if Xvid works but i'll post back when I give it a full workout.

http://www.symbianos.pl/Aplikacje/Multimedia/DivX_Player/

Website is Polish but you should be able to download it without problems.

Enjoy

[edit] Yes it works with Xvid Codec. Still have to tinker around with some settings to get ideal picture/sounds quality[/edit]

I find Gmail-Mobile is better than the official Google version.

Type this into your phones browser:
http://gmobile.sayni.net/xhtml

If you don't like XHTML just drop that from the URL to see the original version but I think the XHTML has better features.
