Would you leave your smartphone for a day and use a Nokia 2330 instead?
I have been a smartphone user for over 5 years, and used only smarpthones since. But sometimes I feel like there is a disadvantage to being a smartphone user, the many functions and options they provide sometimes is just too much, the size of most smarpthones and not being very pocket friendly, the poor battery life? Should I go on? Well sometimes I think that a smaller, simpler phone with decent battery life like the Nokia 2330 could give me a break and simply do what phones are intended to do, calling and texting. Share your thoughts on this.. Would you leave your smartphone for one day only and use the Nokia 2330 or a similar phone?

Skype Blocks Fring!!!
Some of you might have noticed that Skype no longer works on your Fring application and there is a reason for this, Skype blocked Fring. Here is a part from the official press release.

Last week, following the surge in fring video calling traffic, fring service to Skype was temporarily reduced . Unfortunately, Skype and their legal team demanded not to restore your connectivity to Skype via fring.
Needless to say, we are very disappointed that Skype is now trying to muzzle competition, even at the expense of its own users.
While we regret Skype's decision to block fring, we are committed to continuing to provide you with market-leading innovation, to keep you in touch with your friends, wherever they are.

Silverlight for S60 5th edition now available along with a Bing App
"Silverlight, a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of the .NET Framework for building media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web on desktop computers, is now available for Nokia S60 5th Edition devices such as Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia N97 and Nokia N97 Mini."

Well, finally Microsoft released Silverlight for Nokia S60 5th edition smarpthones, and with the release of Silverlight comes the Bing Application based on Silverlight as you might guess. What exactly Silverlight means for the Nokia S60 5th edition smartphone owners, I am not sure, but I personally do not have some craving for Silverlight just for the fact that Silverlight is not used on many websites and the one's that use it, are orbiting very closely to Microsoft.

The upside of this is that now you will be able to view Silverlight content right from your Nokia S60 browser, which is a big plus. Other than that and the new Bing application, currently I don't see other uses for Silverlight on my Nokia N97, but this might be just for now. Who knows, maybe in time as more and more people start developing apps and content using Silverlight, I might be not as skeptical as I am now.

DoD Mar 18th: Advanced Call Manager for Nokia S60 - Take control of your incoming calls!
You are busy, constantly in important meetings and discussions and your mobile is always ringing in a bad moment? All you need is the Advanced Call Manager. It will handle the incoming calls for you and personalize your approach to the callers - answer with a busy tone, send a kind SMS, divert calls, mute the ringer or play a personalized greeting.

The Advanced Call Manager unique feature is the ultra-fast recognition of remote callers which allows personalized replies (SMS, mute, reject, accept, greet, divert) to be attributed within a part of a second leaving the caller unaware of your current availability. The application rich functionality makes it a very convenient tool for any manager as it saves time by taking over the management of your incoming calls when you are too busy to do it by yourself.

With Advanced Call Manager you can organize your phone book into custom lists like Black (people you don't like to disturb you), White list (important people which are "allowed" to call you) or any other custom lists (a very special custom group could be your family to which you can wish to send a personal SMS if somebody calls you during a meeting). The application enables you to set different actions for the groups you have defined - you can accept, reject, divert calls, send personalized SMS, play personalized greeting or mute the ringer. In SMS templates you can set special messages for each group very easily. You can do the same with the personalized greetings.

Get Advanced Call Manager for Nokia S60 on Apr 18th with 50% off!
