N95 : Samir Edition - A completely different league gadget!

Check out these excellant apps and videos of the apps coming soon from the extremely talented french developer - SAMIR

1. Rotate Me 2
We all know what Rotate Me is, if you are now aware of it, you simply dont know what your S60 device is worth doing! With Rotate Me 2, Samir is introducing Auto Screen Orientation Rotation!

Check out the video - *www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXS0QEDxnDU

2. NokMote
Even better than RotateMe. Navigate and control your device, just by inclining and moving your phone. No Buttons needed! Even play games on TV the Wii style.
Video - *www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmvsiTnQSqE
Video 2 - Best gaming phone


3. ShutUp
Wov, this one would make waking up on alarms even more difficult. Why? Because you can simply turn off the alarm by turning your phone, face down! Ellegant. Silence you ringtones and alarmtones by just turning your phone around!

4. YTPlayer
Atlast a fully functional YouTube player in development.

Guys, watch the videos for sure. Specially the NokMote video. It is excellant!
Oh i wish i had a N95!

Re: N95 : Samir Edition - A completely different league gadget!

Saw it. Hey gdatuk, sam1710, r u using the N95? My N95 8GB (S60 3rd ed FP1) isn't able to install RotateMe 2b5 unsigned, even after installation of the N95 Accelerometer Plugin & disabling certificate checking. I'm still getting a certificate error!

You need to sign the installation file with a Developer Certificate. You need to create a Dev Cert from symbiansigned.com . But getting a DevCert has become very difficult now as they have blocked publicly available domains.

Google to find out how to sign the file.
PS - Their is a workaround available on the net ;)

Your DevCert is tied to your phone's IMEI no. So you cannot install anybody else's signed app unless the certificate used was for your phone.

Hi!

I have a friend who is a die hard Nokia fan. He is currently using a 6681 but feels like he needs a new phone. He was thinking of buying an N73, but after he tried one out, he found it way too slow [in terms of menu browsing etc..] to be to his liking..... So due to unavailability of any good nokia phone he decided to get an SE. His primary use of his phone is to make calls, keep reminders, listen to a lot of music, play games. Camera is not that important. But a good keypad [or at least good navigation buttons] is a must. Also, he hates joysticks, which is another reason he is not getting the N73. Also, the screen MUST be big!

So I recommended that he get a w910i....

Any other suggestions? Even Nokia phones accepted as suggestions.

I recommend nokia 5700 Xpress Music.
Good screen,fast phone,excellent music,good keypad,average camera.

BTW what is his budget?Or he is ready to spend?

If so look for SE W960i.

Budget sir, Budget....

You can think about W950i, W910i, K850i.

Exactly what i was talking about!! That cert was life saver!!

Worked for me on all my apps. have not tried out RotateME2 as i have a N73.

N73 with v4 is fast enough. Just ask him if he wants to sacrifice features for some menu speed.

Show him these videos - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76358

Re: N95 : Samir Edition - A completely different league gadget!

It worked like a gem for me!! :)
Me and my friends had installed "AnimSprite" using those certificates.. :)
Ill have to re-check it for RotateME and Nokmote!!

He is willing to spend about the same amount as the N73...

Those videos are of the N95, which is waaaaay tooo expensive.

How is the k770i?

Re: N95 : Samir Edition - A completely different league gadget!

Wov, what luck today. I had an account on SymbianSigned, i had even created a cert in May or June i dont remember. But the 6 month period expired on November 11. I tried to login to create a new cert, but what rules! Since i had not logged in for 6 months, my account was deactivated. It had an option to deactivate, but the deactivation mail would show up all blank!! I tried it many times.
Then today, when i tried it again after around a month, it somehow got sucessfully activated!

Will try and make the cert now!

Those applications will work on any S60 phone with accelerometer. They will even work N82, it has 5MP with Xenon flash.

Why don't you ask him to go for the Moto ROKR E6, it's got a big screen with real player to play all the music and MPEG4 video as well. Link

If it's SE and a budget, the new K530i would be a great deal for 8.4K. Link

I think he should go for Nokia 5700. Also an N73 with the latest firmware isn't slow at all and its hard to find a display this big at this price.
If his budget is around the cost of N73 then he wouldn't afford W910i anyways as it costs around 17k. K770i imo is very ugly and doesn't have a big enough display.
ring_wraith
Jan 4, 2008 at 9:38 AM
Yeah, the w910i is out of his budget....

And he has used a latest FW n73.....

The motoRokr is not for him, he hates touch screens as he has to use his phone on the move a lot. Nor is the w950i... no camera....

if aome dont need camera then +100 for w950i no matches at all.. in fact it comes under 10k

I agree with you, what a fantastic phone. Probably my next phone...

But he wants a camera...:(

Jan 4, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Then consider W580i, W610i, K810i. Not exceptionally big screens but good phones.
ring_wraith
Jan 6, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Hey. I convinced him to get a w910i. He agreed and says he is ready to spend about as much as 17000.... So should he get the w910i or do you have any new suggestions considering the budget increase?

Why not ask him to get any of the S60v3s, they are going to be the new ngages. He will be able to enjoy the best games for phones on his new phone then.

Which phone, for 17K, no suggestions in Nseries right now. Ask him to wait a little.

@Mods
These two topics were not to be merged! This topic - *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=77299 was to be merged with the other Nokia switching topic started by the same user.

W910i and K850i. Just small differences. Ask him to check out both.
