After owning my Nokia E65 for about a month, here’s the list of apps I installed on it:

• Conversation
• Device Status
• Fring
• Gmail
• Google Maps
• Handy Alarm
• Handy Keylock
• Handy Profiles
• Handy Taskman
• Mail for Exchange
• Opera Mobile
• Opera Mini
• PhoNetInfo
• Putty
• Reflect Theme
• Screenshot
• TextQuick
• TomTom
• Truphone
• Y-Browser (+ plugins)
• RemindMe

You can get the Handy Alarm, Handy Keylock and Handy Taskman as the Handy Essentials pack.

And ofcourse, some games:

• Frozen Bubble
• MiniBlaster
• Rollingball
• Snakes 3D
• S-Tris 2

In my quest for a prettier theme than the default themes of the Nokia E65, I’ve found the Reflect theme by Psiloc on the Symbian in Motion blog. See the blog for a full review of the theme.

The old theme, Dots.

The new theme, Reflect!

If you’re rolling your own kernels, and upgraded to 2.6.22, you might have bumped into a compilation issue:

…
include/asm/page.h: In function ‘pte_t native_make_pte(long unsigned int)’:
include/asm/page.h:112: error: expected primary-expression before ‘)’ token
include/asm/page.h:112: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘{’ token
include/asm/page.h:112: error: expected primary-expression before ‘.’ token
include/asm/page.h:112: error: expected `;’ before ‘}’ token
…

How to fix this:

1. Download the vmware-any-any-update110.tar.gz update. Unpack in /tmp
2. Go into the vmware-any-any-update110 directory, and untar the vmmon.tar file (tar xvf vmmon.tar)
3. Execute the following command:
   sed -i ’s!# include !!g’ vmmon-only/common/hostKernel.h
4. Re-tar vmmon.tar (tar cvf vmmon.tar vmmon-only)
5. run runme.pl

And you’re done!

Thanks to the Gentoo bug tracker and all persons posting on it for the ‘fix’.

As per always, if it eats your cat, it’s not my fault nor my problem! ;)

Edit: vmware-any-any-update112.tar.gz has been released meanwhile, which solves the above problem too.

I recently bought a Nokia E65, a very classy, handy, and feature-packed phone. One of the reasons I went with this one is because it has WiFi, which I want to use for making internet-calls. The SIP client is a bit of pita though to configure, but I finally managed to get it working.

How to configure the voipfone.co.uk voip service:

General info:
Profile Name: Voipfone
Public Username: XXXXXXXX@195.189.173.10 (xxxxxxxx = your 8 digit voipfone number beginning with 3)

Proxy Server:
Proxy server address: 195.189.173.10
Realm: asterisk
Username: XXXXXXXX (your 8 digit voipfone number beginning with 3)
Password: XXXXXX (your 6 digit password)
Allow loose routing: Yes
Transport Type: UDP
Port: 5060

Register Server:
Proxy server address: 195.189.173.10
Realm: asterisk
Username: XXXXXXXX (your 8 digit voipfone number beginning with 3)
Password: XXXXXX (your 6 digit password)
Allow loose routing: Yes
Transport Type: UDP
Port: 5060

These settings allowed me to connect over WiFi to the Voipfone.co.uk service.
