The long awaited update to FExplorer has finally released. Having been slowly but surely gathering dust over time, FExplorer has finally shaken off the dust and risen it's head again to re-enter the S60 File Manager market, ready to again compete with the likes of Active File, Y-Browser and X-plore.
On it's return it is is now packaged with a few exta bit's of functionality and SBSH have given it a modular structure enabling them to release updates to specific sections of the app as well as adding new modules in the future. It will put you back $9.95 more than ActiveFile or Y-Browser, but less than X-plore, which comes in at $11.66 (8 Euros).
The main features of FExplorer Pro are:
Robust file explorer
File search
ZIP files support!
Image viewer
File editor (text and binary!)
Hidden folders support
Screen capture tool
Memory defragment
Development utilities
Phone info (IMEI, firmware etc.)
Network info (cell ID, network info etc.)
Much more!
Haven't tried it yet, but it sounds pretty promising.
For all of you N97 users out there with two mobile phones, one of which is a Nokia N97 Simore have developed the answer in the form of the Dual Sim Holder Platinum 3G for N97.
I tried a much simpler dual sim holder many years ago in my Nokia 8800, but they've come a long way since then. This one fits into the space of a standard sim card. The only thing is that you have to cut up your sim cards (adhesive templates are supplied with the holder) to fit them into the Dual sim holder. I suppose it was either that or to re-define the laws of physics and cutting up your sims is a much simpler option.
It has a completely revamped GUI, intended to be more Touch interface compatible. It starts a great deal faster and sports new Michelin, Lonely Planet and local event guides and adds a "Take me home" option.
It is a pitty that the multi-point route options are removed. The only workaround for this is to create a route to a single point and then select "Options", "Route Points" and "Add new route point". The only problem with this is that aditional points must be based on POIs, but this is better than nothing
In this new version of Maps changing Navigation screen views is now acheived by swiping across the screen left or right which makes life a lot easier.
In my opinion it is an impressive improvement of the application. If only the GPS fix quality issue had been rectified, but this is still a little eratic.
Today Nokia have released a new version of Nokia Messaging with HTML email support.
To get your hands on a copy you need to go to email.nokia.com to as for some reason the version available via Software Update is v10.0.1(16) whereas the new version available from email.nokia.com is version v10.0.1(13) and this version provides the HTML support
Other changes include the setting of the "Remove older than" field to 3 days, which is no longer changeable and the removeal of the size and file type limitation feilds for attachements in the "What to Sync" screens. Also aditional "When to Sync" options have been added in the form of sync every 15 minutes and 30 minutes. The previous minimum was 1 hour.
Pitty they still haven't enabled the emptying of the "Deleted" folder from any screen of Nokia Messaging as this is still a bit frustration for many. Also we still can't enable and disable specific mailboxes from auto sync which would be nice. But it's another step in the right direction.
I was browsing around the internet as usual when I noticed this new post from Symarctic. They are soon to release a beta version of a new Facebook application destined to result in the early demise of the new Nokia Facebook Widget on the N97.
Viewing this preview should get any Nokia S60v5 (N97 or 5800) phone owner who also has a Facebook account salivating uncontrollably. The navigation within Symabook appears completely new to Symbian phones and in my opinion is the way of the furture and could help the N97 well on the way to becoming an iPhone killer if other apps take this as a guide.
