Nokia PC Phone

Nokia Beta Labs has released a new application, Nokia PC Phone. Nokia PC Phone is an experimental service that gives you a possibility to use your mobile phone with your Web Browser. An interesting concept, the application lets users to access their contacts, phone log, image gallery, text messaging and more remotely. The only pre-requisite is Internet connectivity on both the PC and the mobile device. Users can even invite their friends to share pictures and blogs online.

You can communicate by using Nokia PC Phone with your friends and family even though they don't have the Nokia PC Phone themselves. Your friends are not able to tell the difference whether you are using the Nokia PC Phone or not, because your calls and text messages are actually made from your own Nokia phone.

Installation instructions
Please go through the Nokia PC Phone installation instructions step by step. It is very easy and fast.

The application works pretty responsive and fast, considering that our phone was tethered to an EDGE network. One interesting feature is camera, which sends a request to the phone to click a picture. When the user clicks one and hits send, the pic is sent to the browser front-end in real-time. During our tests, there was a lag of less than a minute between the time we clicked the picture and its appearance on the PC’s browser. Even browsing the phone’s gallery was quick and makes online sharing of media pretty simple. Now let’s see how Nokia will evolve this unique application into something big.

Save Tons of SMS and Email with Best MessageStorer

I know some people like to keep their sms messages on their phone and collecting thousands message that actually almost never read it again. While storing thousands (5000 for example) message not a problem for Nokia 9500, opening text message on E90 will takes you about 2-3 minutes! Tough E90 hardware much more superior than 9500, I think S60 v3 UI limiting this performance (cmiiw).

Well, maybe E90 or S60’s phone isn´t designed for that amount of data (SMS).But If you want to keep all of your SMS-es, you can save them as plain text or documents.

You can do it manually by move the messages from the archive folders to the inbox, each in turn, and moved them to the pc, then deleted them from the E90. But this steps is not too practical. I prefer using application like Best MessageStorer from smartphoneware.com. Best MessageStorer lets you easily and conveniently save your SMS, MMS, emails in a text or CSV file.

Features:
* Allows saving messages as text file. The text file contains detailed information about the message in easy-to-view representation. This file can be opened on your PC with Notepad;
* Allows storing messages as CSV (comma-separated values) file. CSV is a structured file containing messages and their properties in separate fields. Such file can be easily imported in Excel or any other software working with CSV format;
* Allows sorting messages by type, date/time, sender;
* A filter allows selecting messages by type (SMS, MMS or Email);

How to start:
Best MessageStorer has an intuitive user interface made in conformity with the concept of user interface for S60 3rd edition. Best MessageStorer looks alike with the inbuilt Messaging application, allowing to navigate through Inbox, Outbox etc.

To save your messages you should do the following:
1. Select the messages you wish to save. To select several messages you can use Pen + cursor, or menu command Mark.
2. Choose a way of saving messages using Save message(s) menu. Following the process of saving, indicate disk for saving messages and file name.
3. To send the file to your PC, open system application "File mgr.", which can be found in "Organizer" folder of phone's main menu, locate the file created in the process of saving and transfer it to your PC using Send command of File mgr.

Text to Speech on Nokia E90

Let your phone talk! Let your phone read your messages out loud with Text-to-speech! When you drive a car, its dangerous to read incoming message on your E90. I don’t know if this allowed or not, but “hearing” message is much more saver than read it for me.

Text-to-speech (TTS) is a tool which allows you to listen to text messages, multimedia messages, and emails. To utilize your Message Reader application, the only thing you need is download language packages and voice packages.

One of the best things about this algorithm is its modular concept. This means that its packets can be downloaded separately from main software. There is several language packs shipped in the sales package. As a rule, such files with voice packs are stored on memory card. TTS available in following languages:

Danish
Dutch
French
German
Greek
Italian
Norwegian
Polish
Portuguese
Russian
Spanish
Swedish
UK English
Bahasa indonesia
Indian English
Japanese
Thai
Simplified Chinese
Traditional Chinese
Brazilian Portuguese
Latin American Spanish
Canadian French
US English

Download Language Pack Here

Each language pack is about 1.86mb big. As you have guessed, there can be several voices for every language, for example, a male voice, or female or childish (it’s not a trivial case for realization, as it may seem at first sight). This means that user will be able to choose the voice that will cast messages or exercises. A pretty neat addition that makes TTS functionality even bigger.

As for additional voice settings, you can select volume and speed. Speed can be adjusted from 1 to 10, in this case 1 will be very slow and 10 will remind you of a tongue-twister, as a result you will not be able to comprehend it at all.
Speaker-independent voice-dialing is quite good - you can dial any number from the phone book without having to train the phone with voice tags or whatever.
