M1 from immmooo was installed on a Nokia E71, an S60 3rd edition FP1 device.
Installation
Installation is straightforward. M1 comes as a .sis file and the Nokia Application Installer can be used to install M1. When installing to S60 3rd phones, you may have to disable online certificate check: tools-> App.mgr.-> options-> settings: software installation(all), online certif.check(off). This will help you to solve the ‘certificate error’ pop-up.

Spb TV v1.0 from Spb Softwarehouse was installed on a Nokia E71, an S60 3rd edition FP1 device.
Installation
Installation of the sis file is simple, using the Nokia application installer.
First View
I was very skeptical about watching TV on a mobile. There is a lot of hype about IPTV but it just did not take off. It required high amount of bandwidth and must be delivered with certain levels of Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability to become a viable alternative to cable television. Its typically the cellular operators who advertise and provide IPTV service to mobile subscribers. I was curious to find out what Spb TV had to offer.

SPB Wallet was installed on a Nokia E71, an S60 3rd edition FP1 device. The desktop application was installed on a Windows XP SP 2 OS.

The setup.exe installs both the desktop app and the symbian application on the mobile too. There is also an option to install the .sis file on the mobile independently. The registration of license key can be done on the mobile. SBP Wallet installs a tool bar for IE and Firefox. More about it later in the review.

Snaptu was installed on a Nokia E71, an S60 3rd edition FP1 device.
Installation
Installation is via the web link http://m.snaptu.com, which guides you through the download and install process or you could give your mobile number at http://snaptu.com/download and you get an SMS link to download the application on to your mobile via the Internet. More and more applications are distributed this way. It totally avoids the need to keep track of updated versions, having a local copy of the .sisx file and so on. The application also has an “upgrade” option that checks for updates on the Internet and automatically updates the new version if available.
First View
I really expected a lot a lot from Nokia’s widisets. It was a great opportunity to bring the web to the mobile in a novel way. But I believe they squandered it because the application was slow and not very user friendly. How does Snaptu measure up? Read on.

The beta version of Virtual Mobile mobile application was installed on a Nokia E71, an S60 3rd edition FP1 device.
Installation
Installation of the .sisx file is straightforward, using the Nokia Application Installer in the Nokia PC Suite. But a user account has to be created and at least one mobile device has to be registered with the web application at Virtual Mobile user registration site. There is a getting started page that helps you through the process.
First View
Virtual Mobile is another cloud computing application that allows you to sync personal information – SMS, Contacts, Call History, Photos and Calendar to an online database. Since its an early beta version, I expect it to have issues.

I have been a huge fan of the snake game on the Nokia 3360 which was one of my first mobiles. Since then, I have not played the Snake game, until recently, when it was introduced in Gmail as the old Snakey! When I got a copy of Snake Deluxe 2 I was eager to see if I will still be fascinated with this simple yet immensely popular game.
