    hey Tuumaz! u've got 2 practically live wif the sound quality..it is pretty acceptable ONCE u get used to it..just dun put 2 much hope on the mp3 sound quality..(IT'S A MONO SPEAKER!!)i'm owning a nokia 3230 2..i could reduce interference sounds by lowering the bitrates of mp3's until 31 kbps..maybe in the future (hopefully) someone could help find better ways 2 circumnavigate this sound quality problem..

      hey kholio ! basically, EDGE is an acronym for Enhanced Data rates for Global Evolution (Enhanced GPRS). Its also the precursor to 3G as EDGE is 2G or 2.5G. Meaning it provides Enhanced GPRS at max speeds of 386kbps while standard GPRS( which is 1G) is at 114 Kbps. (note: max speeds are achievable data transfer rates and not the actual rates)

          All's well that ends well...
          I initially installed the 1.02 version which didn't work but later i installed the 1.0 Version of Smart Com and it works like heaven...
          Thanks for your suggestions TC

            So far the most useful programs which I think is a must have is the following:

            1. Photorite v5.2.0
            * Nice Photo program
            2. FExplorer 1.13
            * A must have file manager/browser.
            3. Resco Photo Viewer
            * Although photorite can provide most of the need like photo viewing and slide show apart from taking photo, I installed this program becoz I can resize image and also crop image to custom size using this program. Definately must have.
            4. SmartMovie 2.73
            * What else, watch movies of course
            5. AppMan
            * It an application manager. Most useful function is it can show u if there's any previously installed program rubbish left-over files.
            6. AutoLock
            * I think this may be the 1st program I install when I get this phone in order to make my phone do autolock at a present delay.

            Er.. well, the other program is not really that important to me.... more to come i think. If u ask me about games i probably can list out top 10 or even top 20 hahaha. Currently I am having almost 40 games excluding the original 3. All super nice one.

              Aagah:
              Hey pal I send u a private message at that forum just to let u know which one is me. HaHa. Anyway, about the SmartCom, did u install the version 1.02? I haven't try that. Mine is version 1.01. What u said sound really weird. But I want to check with u something. Did u activate it? Coz if u didn't activate it, it won't run and definately won't standby. Select the activate (and it'll change to Deactivate & also red button with white cross) Try again and see. Sorry I can't help much coz I'm not really really expert. BTW my firmware is v3.0510.0ch 05-03-05 (ch means chinese support)

                6.Egg Clock
                7.Handy Photosafe V1.0

                  Hi Guys...
                  Some of the softwares that TC and others have brought to light have the power of totally transforming our phone into a new look gadget which not only serves utility but also at the same time delivers a knockout punch with style...
                  I know they are all available at various forums and symbian sites but its not practical for us to test all the softwares by ourselves and use them... They are basically too many in number.
                  So let us get together and put together the top 5 third party applications that we use.. What do you have to say about that !!!!!

                    Hey TC,
                    That Smart Com is indeed a cool software... But to my dismay it fails to work on my phone too !!!!
                    The problem i face is i'm not able to run the application in the background... When i press the menu key or the end call button, the app gets closed too !!! Strange isn't it....
                    I also tried calling when my phone was in smart com's window... but the application fails to work even then... Please is there a solution to this... Does this boil down to the Firmware version... By the way mine is
                    v3.0505.2
                    19-02-05
                    RM-51
                    Thank you in advance...

                          emx5:
                          U need programs called WinZip and WinRAR. U can get it from the website for the evaluation copy. Install them 1st. Then double click on the zipped file u downloaded. A window will be opened. Drag out the file to ur desktop (or any folder u want). U should be looking at files with .sis or .jar extension. Then transfer the file to ur phone.

                          WinZip - http://www.winzip.com
                          WinRAR - http://www.win-rar.com

                              Did u unzip it in ur PC? Coz most of the files there are either in zip or rar format. U have to unzip it 1st in ur PC and transfer the .sis or .jar file to ur phone.

                              In another word, if what u r putting in ur phone isn't with .sis or .jar extension, it will not run.

                                FSCaller works in my phone. What version did u installed? Mine was Version 3.0.2. I havent try 3.0.4 yet. Be careful not to download anything that claim to be version 3.2 though. I heard there's a virus imitating itself as that.

                                Well, I actually remove FSCaller coz the graphic is poor and they got funny image size. The one still in my phone is called SmartCom. Picture is better but not as configurable as FSCAller. An it doesn't autostart when u restart ur phone. Also, when it's running, it will appear at the background when u hold the menu button. May be u can check out SmartCom.
