It’s actually subset of the great Snaptu application.

The application works great and supports many of the Facebook feature:

• Status Updates
• Upload pictures include taking a picture and upload straight from the app
• News feeds
• Message Inbox
• Requests Inbox
• Notifications
• Events
• Photo /albums browsing
• Friends browsing
• Profile view
•  Find  friends
• Search

Y-Browser provides solution for all of the above limitations.
The application displays all phone drivers include system drivers and folders. it display very quickly folders with hundreds  of files and sub-folders. Batch copy/cut and paste is possible using smart mark options such as mark all and inverse mark. It has also smart file search with multiple search criteria. One of the nicest features, for heavy users, is the ability to define default application when opening files. For example if you have application for movies you will be able to open movies files straight from the browser without having the need to open them from the movie application.

Since the application provide access to system files and folders I would recommend to use it only for advanced users only.

as you can see from the following diagram the diffrence between Opera Mini and Mobile is the way the application access the website. While Opera Mobile is able to render the page by itself, Opera mini is using the Opera servers to render and compress the pages before they are being sent to the browser. you can also see from the diagram that the Oper’s mini turbo also using Opera’s compression servers.

Having knowing the above one would expect to have some difference between the two applications.  It was very interesting to find that both browsers working pretty much the same and the only difference is the support of very complicate web pages. The opera mobile displays those pages properly while the opera mini didn’t display them 100% properly.

The opera mobile consumes quite a lot of memory and you might need to close some applications while using it. The opera mini consume much less memory and I didn’t occur any memory problems.

Conclusion, unless there is a need to access very complex pages it’s better to use the Opera Mini, You are not missing anything.

Both application can be downloaded from Opera’s mobile site – http://m.opera.com/

This is exactly what is so good and bad about it. if users in your country /area participate in this initiative you will get the most updated maps and road conditions and if not you won’t even have a maps to use.

The application provides turn by turn navigation based on the #E72 GPS. It also provides POI (Point of interest) based on online databases (I think it’s differ from each country).

There is a need for constant internet connection for getting map updates and online status of the traffic. Navigation is based on a real time conditions, so if one of the roads has a heavy traffic the app will suggest alternative route.Each user’s Waze application updates automatically the average speed of the car.

Additionally the application provides live updates from users who reported manually on the road conditions.  If you noticed speed trap or some other issues with the road, you can update all other users. Just click on update and select the type of the update, that’s it all other people will get the update until another user will remove the update when it’s not relevant anymore.

Following video provides more information about waze

The application can be downloaded using the E72 browser from http://m.waze.com or from the OVI store.

When I’m driving I always use Waze even when I don’t need GPS, it’s always good to get updates on road conditions and speed traps….

has new update,  version 1.05.

Most of the new features not relevant to the Nokia E72 (S60 5th support,Nokia N97 Home screen widget) and other features aren’t very intersting (Additional ‘Last charge’ information at main application,Check for updates feature,Send to a friend feature) but the last general feature in the change log (Minor improvements, bugfixes and opitimization) might be interesting for current users.

The only compliance I got about this application is that the timer is covered by the vendor logo. I think, and correct if I wrong, that this issue solved in the new version.

The application can be downloaded from here.

According to Fring’s blog, Skype blocked the connection between networks. Skype offers it’s own application to Nokia E72 but it doesn’t support video calls like Fring application.

Opera Mini designed to support phones with limited CPU and memory who can’t handle web page processing (rendering) locally. The Opera Mobile browser is capable of handling the pages locally although it’s possible also to use Opera’s server for handling the page rendering (Settings->turbo). I installed the Opera Mobile version 10 on my Nokia E72.

The application starts with “speed dial” screen, screen that contains shortcut to up to 9 web pages include screen shot of the page. On the top section of the browser an address  and google  search box.

The browser display the page quite fast and provides very easy access to the page using a selection area. use the arrows to select specific section of the page and click on the middle navigation key to zoom. Zoom out is done using the right soft key.

Left softkey displays several options: Address bar, Search box, navigation back and forward, Reload and browsing back to the speed dial screen. Additional options available when clicking on small arrow under the address bar. The additional options include access to bookmarks, browsing history, Save pages locally and settings.

The browser support tabs to access several web pages at the same time. the advantage over Nokia web browser is the ability to open tab. Above the address bar you will found plus (+) sign click on it and new browsing options will appear.

Click on # + [1-9] for accessing links from the speed dial screen. if you don’t remember the shortcut click on the # and wait, the browser displays all shortcuts.

The * is used for fast access to browser features. Just click on the * and wait to see all options.

The browser doesn’t support flash content so it’s not possible to watch movies. Anyhow I prefer the youtube application for watching youtube movies.

Opera Mobile is great web browser, give it a try it’s for free.

Download from the  E72′s web browser: m.opera.com

Download Opera Mobile  also from BrotherSoft mobile

If you have a lot of patient you can wait for the new Symbain version. It’s not on the first nor second priority list of the development team so I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.

Following list of supported countries after July 1st: United States, U.K., Canada, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Korea and Taiwan.

If your country isn’t listed above you might find Opera as the alternative browser to Skyfire. After playing with Opera 10 few minutes it looks like it’s even better then Skyfire. I’m planning on testing Opera 10 few more days and then write post about it.

• Weather worldwide (include daily update)
• World time
• Exchange rate
• World map

But this time I would like to focus on one of the new plug-in, Connect.

Connect provides the ability to manage internet connections like I always wanted. The plug-in provides the service which the Network Destinations and Smart Connect application don’t provide.

The plug-in creates virtual destination and internet connection called: Psiloc connect.

Just use the above connection for all applications and the easy manage the connectivity to the internet.

• Auto connection to Wifi networks when available instead of using expensive 3G connection
• Block or allow 3G connection.
• Block or allow 3G roaming.

It cost 12.28$, but after I paid 3$ for internet connectivity for less then a minute for me  it worth it. For extra 2.5$ you’ll get also safe for protecting personal data.

The kaspersky mobile security consists of the following security applications:

Firewall

The Kaspersky firewall provides the ability to block incoming connections, block all connection other then standard  applications (Web browsing, email, etc’) and block all connections. It’s not as flexible as standard PC firewall but it provides basic network security. The block all mode is useful when roaming and you would like to eliminate the risk that some application will connect to the internet via expensive 3G network.

Antivirus

Kaspersky is well known brand in the antivirus software for PCs market.  It has the same functionality of scanning the phone for viruses and malware. The antivirus database automatically updates using a scheduled download of the latest updates from Kaspersky servers.
