Nokia provides a customized theme for each version, in the new 031.023 firmware you’ll find two new themes for the E72 white: personal and business white.

Most of the times I’m using barcode reader to navigate to web site that has long address. Other uses for the barcode is to get contacts details, some people print barcode on their business card, scan and you got their details whithout the need to type their details or sophisticate scanners that try to perform OCR (Optical Character Recognition).
I tried several applications and I found i-nigma the most conveint for me. you can download using your phones browser: www.i-nigma.mobi

The site also provides the ability to generate the barcodes
In addition to URL and contact details the site and reader supports also message and SMS.

I keep a bookmark to the barcode generation so each time that I need to send a link to my browser instead of sending it by SMS or email I create barcode and scan it.

Nokia published new software update for the Nokia E72. The new software version is 022.007.

To display current phone software version type  *#0000# or Menu->Ctrl. panel->Phone->Device mgr.

From same screen it’s possible to check if new software available for your phone: Options-> Check for update.

If software update available for your phone just confirm the software update. The software downloads, Phone restarts and then the new version installs. The complete update takes about 5 minutes.

You might find that the new version is not available for your phone. Nokia releases different software versions updates according to region and operator.

The only change I have noticed after upgrading is fixing the contacts key issue. In the old version long press on the contacts key didn’t create new contact like it should.

Found new features or fix after upgrading? Please write in the comments box.

Important notice: Backup phone content before upgrading to the new version.

Fring 3.4 on Nokia E72 supports following messengers and features:

• Skype              - Chat,  Voice calls, File Transfer
• Google Talk  - Chat, Voice Calls
• MSN                - Chat, Voice Calls, File Transfer
• ICQ                  - Chat
• Yahoo MSG  - Chat

Currently Fring version 4 is not supported by Nokia E72.This version supports  Skype video calls as well.

Additionally if you have SIP account you can use the Fring to place and receive voice calls. I’m using Gizmo5 account and it works great.

Fring provides access to additional social netowrk such as Twitter, last.fm and Facebook. I found it unfriendly and slow, in my opinion it’s better to use other applications for these services.

The application can be download from the ovi store, browsing from the Nokia E72 browser to http://m.fring.com or using the attached barcode.

After installation, run the application. first screen create fring account and then select relevant messanger accounts and type your personal username, password for each account.

Fring supports connectivity via WIFI and Cellular network. In Options > Settings > Connectivity it’s possible to configure access group of WIFI and Cellular access point to connect through.

More info can be found on the Fring Product guide for Symbian 9
