Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 or Nokia  5530.If your device is encountered in this list then now you have a chance to fill up your device with a list of new widgets. Well, let’s say that actually the update is prepared for Symbian 9.4 OS devices.

While the overall application is not ready yet, you can still get a chance to get two of the HTC-type clocks, Music Player. But if you have plans to wait and get the final and not the beta version, you’ll also get calendar, contacts, flashlight, BT, Wi-Fi and much more.

The application is an unsigned one and thus you can sign it with the help of your  OPDA Certificate and Key File.

Citing Nokia’s representatives Reuters report we see that the Finnish  company Nokia has postponed the commercial launching of Symbian ^ 3 platform to the third quarter of 2010. The reasons of transfer have not been disclosed.

Qreader 1.96 For Nokia 5800

Posted by nokiamania On February - 17 - 2010

Qreader is an advanced and very convenient program to read files that are optimized to work for Nokia 5800. The program works with files of PDB, TXT, PRC, TCR and FB2 extensions, there is also an ability to read the above file extensions in ZIP-archives. With more functionality, Qreader has configuration options for the font, search, formatting and automatic scrolling, automatic placement of emphasis, the ability to change the font color and background, and quickly turning to a specific fragment. The same program has the ability to send texts by means of MMS, Bluetooth and e-mail.

Short list of features:
* Support for Txt and TCR, Palm DOC (. Prc and. Pdb), FB2
* Support for (zip) files
* Screen Rotation – at 90 and 270%
* Small amount of occupied memory
* 5 font sizes
* Directory Support
* Search in text
* Auto scrolling of text
* Text formatting (align, margin)
* Quick view of time and the volume of reading
* Changing colors
* Quick links within a document (in%)
* Sending text to EMail, Bluetooth, IrDA or MMS
* Support for backlight
* 55 different codepages + 3 Unicode characters

Recommendations:
1) To improve the effectiveness of the program we recommend that you save all your texts and books on the memory card, in your Texts file.
2) Specify Charset = UTF-8, Region = Unicode, in the program settings in the “Languages” section for maximal compatibility when working with different formats.
3) Use the program in portrait mode – this is a guarantee of stability in the program.

Management:
When you choose books by standard methods, in full screen reader – tapping on the bottom of the screen scrolls down, tapping on the top – up, tapping the top left corner – opens the menu. It’s simple, fast and works greatly!

Known problems:
- The efficiency is guaranteed only in portrait mode, it is better not to put to one side.
- The program can take off in the most unexpected places. You should save your books only in E: Texts and not particularly get involved in packed books.
- Partial fb2 support is not supported by footnotes and pictures.
