Nokia E71 Smartphone doesn’t need a cable

I’m using Linux as my primary desktop. And in the contrast, currently Nokia doesn’t supply application(s) to support Linux. I have to find a way to get rid of USB cable…

The first application I need is SIC!FTP. With this application, all files (in batch) could be transferred between my phone and Linux machine(s) through wifi, even without SIM card.

Let’s see what else are installed in which you might get interested too. I walk you through one by one

LotusTraveler: Light Lotus Notes client on Symbian platform. Needs a gateway to get authenticated to office Notes mail server.

ProblemReport: with LotusTraveler. Have never used that once. Hopefully will not.

MobClient: Lotus Mobility Client. A VPN client on symbian

Putty: This is great tool that gives a native SHELL to access and control any Unix/ Linux machine.

GoogleMap: v3.0 with Latitude = maps + location of your friend

SpotOn: keeps backlid and/ or camera light on.

Mobbler: This is a great Web2.0 online music radio that allows you tag your loved tracks (banable too) and bridges you into community with Common Interest.

fring: You know this one

5ud0ku: Sudoku. There are a lot of similar. This is the best. Try it while waiting @ airport.

Sametime: Lotus messenger

Gmail: Application on Symbiam, which contains mail thread function.

Opera Mini: the most popular browser on mobile. Looking forward to Firefox Fennec

WorldMate: free from Nokia to assist you during travel in diff timezone, weather and currency exchange. Heard it eat traffic a lot.

SIC!FTP: If you’re a Linux guru, you’d love this to turn your phone to a real computer.

Gizmo5 & Skype (beta) as they are.

Screenshot: is a tool that I used to capture screens.

Phone is Computer

I spent some time in researching Web2.0 and predicting Web3.0. Web3.0 gets me confused until I purchased a Nokia E71 two weeks ago. Let’s see some pictures captured from my E71

This is the main menu that doesn’t make much difference.

Wah, this is cool. A mobile Putty to connect my Linux machine. Perhaps it could become a console to manage Cloud from mobile device.
