SymRDP Remote Desktop Protocol is a technology that allows you to use your mobile phone and connect to a remote computer in a different location. For example, you can connect to your work computer from your mobile phone and have access to all of your programs, files, and network resources as though you were in front of your computer at work. You can leave programs running at work and then, when you get home, you can see your work computer’s desktop displayed on your phone, with the same programs running.

SymRDP allows you to get full advantage of having a touch-screen on your phone during an RDP session with your remote computer through the following services:

- it naturally allows you to use a stylus (or even a finger) as a PC mouse;
- it gives you convenient access to any part of your PC screen via habitual PC-like scrolling;
- it provides a virtual touch-screen-based standard 84-keys PC keyboard for symbol input;
- if your phone has a physical keyboard it adjusts it to become a PC keyboard as much as possible;

What do you need to do? Just go ahead and enjoy the power of remote access to anywhere from your pocket.

And one more thing is there, If you had any previous experience with something like VNC-based Remote Desktop applications for a phone (which, in general, are very good for phones without a touch-screen), please, forget it from now onwards – it will not be useful for your touch-screen phone with SymRDP, but it can catch you in a cage of old-fashion stereotypes (like “moving cursor on the screen”and many more) that have no room in the real touch-screen world any more.

Just like Google Maps and Qik, Vlingo is one of those cool mobile apps that looks like it’s come straight from a futuristic sci-fiction film.

The ‘best factor’ from Vlingo comes from the fact that it lets you order to your phone to do things for you just been speaking into it. Using the program couldn’t be simpler. You just hold down the Voice key on your device, wait for the tone, then speak your command. When you’ve finished speaking, release your finger and Vlingo will do the rest.

Vlingo comes with a guide of what you can say to your phone and how to say it. For example, to search the Web, you say: ‘Search movie tickets’. The app then open up your browser and performs a Google search for the term ‘movie tickets’. There are also commands for voice dialing, dictating,sending text messages and emails, opening apps and even making notes to yourself using your Nokia’s notepad. It also has an option of Updating Facebook status just by speaking up. The only slightly annoying thing is that you need to exit out of the browser before performing a different voice command (or else it will just enter what you said into Google).

I was impressed by the accuracy of Vlingo. Sure, at first I had a few problems getting it to search for ‘Nokia, but I soon realized if I spoke slowly and deliberately clear, Vlingo would pick it up. Besides, the software has the innate ability to learn how you sound and improve its speech recognition over time.

Of course, there’s always some catch with something as impressive as Vlingo. In this case it’s the fact that the program uses your Internet connection whenever it’s in use. This can be pretty pricey if you don’t have a data plan, so I wouldn’t recommend this program for anyone who pays for data rates as they go.

Vlingo is an amazingly simple voice input app that could genuinely change the way you use your phone forever.

Languages:

English, Spanish, German, French, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese BR, Swedish, Turkish

Just download this application onto your mobile phone and start commanding your phone to perform action without tapping on this screen, just a by holding one button will do all that for you.

You can Download this application on your mobile by visiting Vlingo’s website or from the Ovi Store.

You need to worry if your phone gets stolen when you have WaveSecure on it. This mobile security service will automatically lock your phone once it detects a SIM change. This prevents unauthorized use and makes the phone worthless to the thief.
You can also choose to display a message on the device to prompt the finder to return the device. If you want, you can sound an alarm remotely to warn the thieft and increase the chances of recovering your phone, too.
Sounding an Alarm works when you keep forgetting where you kept the phone at you home.

In addition to this, WaveSecure Lets you track the Location of your phone on Map. This is done by sending a message on your Phone which does not rely on the GPS, so it’s highly accurate even if the phone doesn’t have GPS enabled or otherwise.

Trigger a remote wipe from WaveSecure site to delete all private data on your Nokia  phone. Contacts, messages, photos, videos including those on your removable media card can be deleted, too.

Fresh on the heels of the Nokia N97 and N97 Mini, Nokia have now announced the Nokia N900. Replacing the N810 Internet Tablet, the N900 is a curious beast in that it’s more smartphone than Internet Tablet – you can even make phone calls on it!

This puts it smack bang in the middle of the smartphone market, where it competes directly with the, erm…Nokia N97! So just what does the N900 offer that the N97 doesn’t (and vice versa!). And more importantly, is it worth buying?

Nokia N900 Overview

Check Out This N900 Overview Video. Whatch here:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYnx0PUX7Do

The Nokia N900 is a big beast, and in many respects, reminds of my trusty old Nokia E90.

It’s dimension are 4.4? x 2.3? x 0.7?, which is big for a phone, but only as big as an HTC TouchPro 2. And when you think that the N900 is being pitched as an Internet Tablet, it’s actually kind of small.

One thing that isn’t in doubt is the N900’s looks. It’s black, it’s sleek, it’s a touchscreen smartphone, but with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard that looks more like the E90’s than than the N97’s . Better still, with an 800 x 480 screen, it looks like it really means business.

Which it does – just check out this list of features:

• 32GB of storage

• 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics
• Dual-LED Flash
• 800 x 480 video recording
• A-GPS with Ovi Maps
• 10Mbps download, 2Mbps upload HSDPA for super-fast browsing
• Quad-band GSM
• 54Mbps data transfer over Wi-Fi
• 600MHz ARM Cortex-A8 processor
• 1GB application memory
• OpenGLES 2.0 3D graphics acceleration
• Superb Web browser with built-in support for Adobe Flash 9.4
• Maemo 5 operating system
• TV-Out
• Media player supporting the following formats and codecs: mp4, .avi, .wmv, .3gp, H.264, MPEG-4, Xvid, WMV, H.263
• Music formats supported include .wav, .mp3, .AAC, .eAAC, .wma, .m4a
• FM Radio

Wow! That’s a huge list of features. But look a little closer, and you’ll see it’s not that different to the N97. So how do the two differ, and which one should you buy?

Comparing the Nokia N900 with the N97

At first glance, the N900 and N97 share many of the same features. For example the 5 megapixel camera, A-GPS, 32GB storage, HSDPA and Wi-Fi, all are the same on both phones, and indeed, have been the same specs on most N-Series phones since the Nokia N95 launched back in 2007.

Where the two differ significantly, though, is the operating systems underpinning each phone, and the vision that Nokia has for them.

Nokia N97 – a phone first and foremost

After the Review of Nokia N97  it’s clear that it’s been developed as a phone first and foremost.

It still uses the old Symbian operating system that Nokia have been using on their N-Series phones for some time now, but this is really starting to show its age. The N97 lets you browse the Web, it has a touchscreen, it comes with social media apps such as Facebook, but these all feel somewhat tacked on as an after-thought.

There’s no cohesion to the different features, and the overall experience is rather slow and discordant (although Nokia have taken significant steps to addressing this in a new firmware update).

Nokia N900 – a mobile desktop device

In stark contrast, the N900 has been designed to bring a desktop experience to the mobile phone, with the Internet at its core right from the start, rather than tacked onto a phone platform, as seems the case with the N97.

To this end, Nokia have used their brand new Maemo 5 operating system with the N900. Maemo 5 is based on Linux, and with the use of a super-fast 600MHz ARM processor, 1GB of application RAM and OpenGL 3D graphics acceleration, the result is a super-slick smartphone that has the potential to run rings round the N97, if not the entire competition!

With such sophisticated underpinnings, the N900 can multi-task many applications simulatneously without any noticeable slowing down. Its touchscreen user interface is superbly responsive, and the animations, transitions and general user interface whizziness react without any slowing down or hesitation.

Better still, with its huge high resolution screen, you can pack a lot of information on the screen and still see it clearly.

The overall feel is one of fluidity – it’s a phone that you can really use in an efficient, productive way that also looks supremely good.

Web browsing is also superb, with an iPhone-esque browser that you can zoom in and out on and move around with the flick of a finger. More impressively, Adobe Flash is supported, and you can watch YouTube videos directly inside the browser, just as you can with a desktop browser.

This really is a desktop in a mobile device!

Should you buy the N97 or the N900

All this leads to one interesting question: should you buy the Nokia N97 or the N900? Both have similar features and a similar form factor. Both, alarmingly, seem to be competing with each other! In an already confused smartphone marketplace, having yet another option to go for only makes the decision harder!

If you’re the type of person who wants a great Web browsing experience in a smartphone that can better most of those on the market, both in terms of features and power, then go for the Nokia N900 (although be warned – it’ll cost 500 Euros!)
If, on the other hand, you’re the type of person who prefers a slimmer phone that has great features, then, well…no, I still can’t recommend the N97!

To be fair, the N97 has been given a significant boost from Nokia in the form of a new fimrware update that puts right many of its failings. But even with that, the N900 is simply leagues ahead of it in every way. So go for the N900. If you want a slimmer smaller phone, don’t buy a smartphone!

Nokia N900 and Nokia N97 comparison.. is a post from: Nokia N97 Blog - News, Help, Apps, Games, Themes, Hacks

First up is a theme I have JUST started to use. I found it yesterday and I think it’s GREAT! It’s created by a theme designer who goes by the name of Rugge. This theme is based on the newly released video about the upcoming Symbian^3 and looks absolutely brilliant. This is the second theme that I have tried that attempts to look like the new version of Symbian due to be released later this year, it is definitely the better one of the two and I am yet to find another.

The whole colour scheme is a mixture of blue, green, black and white which at first do sound a tad strange but I assure you that it works really really well. The wallpaper is a close up image of a few shards of grass that the designer took himself which shows how talented this guy is.

I also find that this theme makes my phone run a lot faster, at least it seems so. I don’t really know, if you try it out let me know what you think of performance.

So if you’re bored of your current theme or just fancy a change, or you really like the look of the new and upcoming version of symbian then get this theme and check it out. You’ll love it, or at least I do!
