I was running Y-Tasks on my Nokia E65 smartphone using the latest version 0.50 of the application and all plug-ins.

Installation

At first you have to install the main application Y-Tasks. The installer creates an extra folder “DrJukka.com” where all applications of the same author, like Y-Browser, will be moved into. Since the main application is just some kind of loader, you need to install several plug-ins. Without plug-ins you can’t do anything with Y-Tasks. Installing all plug-ins is quite a long procedure, but you are very flexible and don’t need to install things you don’t use. Uninstalling single plug-ins is also possible.

First view

Once everything is installed you get a pretty powerful tool. In the main menu you can switch to landscape mode or choose between list or grid styled menus, while the grid menu is hard to read.

For instance you can view all applications installed on your phone with the possibility to show information or launch them. You can also view running tasks, switch to them or close them directly. Functions mostly take some seconds to load. They do what they are supposed to do: providing information on your system.

My first review looks at an alternative browser for Symbian smartphones. If you like browsing the WWW on your cellphone like me and are unsatisfied with your standard browser then Opera Mobile could be an option.

Review conditions

We tested the latest Opera Mobile for S60 3rd edition, version 8.65. The application was installed on a Nokia N80. To connect to the Internet we used wireless LAN.

Installation

The Installation of Opera Mobile is easy as usual. You can get the browser from www.opera.com. Just download the sisx-file and install the browser from your Computer or directly from your phone. Just follow the instructions and you will find Opera in your programs.
