Ever wanted your Nseries to read your message? It would be really cool if your Nseries phone can speech by its own. I found an interesting software which will read out loud your message.
N73 SMS Reader is a free software that will read and speech the message that arrive to your inbox. When new message is arrived, you will be given with 3 options, whether you want your phone read it for you, preview the message or just ignore the message.
Here are the features of this N73 SMS Reader
-
Reads new text messages either at user request or immediately when they arrive
-
Simple and Intuitive controls
-
Message Preview Option for displaying the last received message without actually opening it
-
Inbox Backup tool for exporting all messages to file
-
Compatibility with ALL S60 3rd Edition Devices (N73, N80, N95 and more)
I have tried it on my N73ME. Yeah, it is true that this software can make your phone read your message but if the message is not written in English, you will hear wierd speech. It is really funny and you will not understand a thing from what it saying. Try it and let me know if this application is useful for you.
My dad was always having this problem. His N70 phone was always accidently called a recent call number because he forgot to lock his keypad. I told him to enable the autolock function which comes with the device but he don’t like that function very much because everytime when he wanted to unlock the keypad, he needs to enter the password. That is wasting time, he said.
So I looked for a software that can autolock his phone but no need to enter password when to unlock it. Fortunately, I found the software and the best part is, it is freeware. Cool isn’t it?

Our Nseries phone has its own memory storage where we can save and keep our data on it. To have more storage, we add another additional storage or we called it as memory card.
Everytime when we save and delete files from the memory card, the files will become fragmented. So we need to defrag our it so it can performs better.
Here is how to do it.
-
Connect your Nseries phone to your PC (cable, infrared, bluetooth) and select Mass Storagemode.
-
Backup all your files including files in your memory card.
-
Now, go to My Computer and you will see a new drive in it. Right click the drive and choose Properties. Then click on Tools tab and Defragment Now.
-
Wait until the defragment process finish and then you will see how fast your Nokia phone will be.
ps: My phone becomes faster since I defrag it. Try it and make your phone feels fresh. 
Another great theme that I want to share with you all today. This theme is based on Tango Style Guidelines and Tango Icon Theme. It is very lite and very cute with its own icons.
Tango Symbian60 Theme developed by mszulecki. I really like this theme because it is lite. Everything is smooth and fast. Let say when I want to open the Main Menu, in just a snap, the Main Menu is open. Previous theme that I use was take about 1 second to open but this theme is cool. Very fast! I am so impressed!

My friend ask me how I took screenshots from my Nokia N73 ME and posted them to my website. I told him that I did some magics and poof!, suddenly my N73ME took the screenshots for me. Hahaha. It was a joke.
I actually use an application called Screenshot to take the screenshot for my N73ME. Screenshot is free. You can download it from here and install it like you install other software to your phone.
I wish I could publish the Screenshot interface and the settings here, but my friend had borrowed my Nokia cable. So I couldn’t transfer the screenshots taken to my PC.
Screenshot can save the images in JPEG, PNG, BMP or MBM format. I don’t have any idea what MBM really is. I am so lazy to find out. But the quality image taken using Screenshot is really good. Really sharp. You can see the quality of the images taken from my previous posts.
