S60 5th Edition/3rd Edition FP2 Unicode Font Hack

Posted Wed, 09/02/2009 - 10:12 by AJ

Previously, I shared how to font hack S60 3rd Edition FP1 (i.e. Nokia N95-1, -3, Nokia E71) phones to display Unicode characters. Great for those who want to see the names of those Japanese songs that they can't read!

Quick Hand-On with Bell's Palm Pre

Posted Tue, 08/25/2009 - 14:12 by AJ

So I was strolling through the mall the other day and I walk past the Bell store. There was a white pedastal near the entrance and then WHOAAAAAAAAAA! I realized that they had a Palm Pre out for playing-with, a full three days before it was set to be released.

So Apparently I Just Got my First Car

Posted Sun, 08/09/2009 - 00:12 by AJ

We've had Volvos in the family for the better part of two decades, and lo and behold, the other day a low-mileage 1990 744 Turbo showed up on craigslist.

We pounced.

Bone-stock for now, but who knows what I'll do to it after finding this forum.

How to Update an E71-2 to v300 Firmware Until Nokia Fixes NSU

Posted Wed, 07/15/2009 - 00:31 by AJ

OK, so Nokia has been hard at work recently, letting out what some in my circle have come to call "firmware diarrhea." The Nokia E71 got a nice update....in Europe and Asia. Unfortunately, for users of the E71-2 NAM superspecialawesome smartphone, the road to the new v300.21.012 firmware has been blocked. Well, more like the road is missing a big chunk or two.

But that's OK, there's still hope. Candyman on HowardForums has posted a method for a relatively safe, relatively painless upgrade to the new v300 firmware. Involves a few unorthodox detours, but no-pain-no-gain, right? Here's how you do it.

UPDATE (JUL. 23, 2009): Apparently Nokia completely pulled the v300 firmware off their servers on Jul. 17. For this guide to work, it needs to detect that v300 is the latest firmware available. As of today, it's still back at v200 for the NAM and v210 for the Euro/Asia E71. ):

Just Caffeine Poetry

Morning Coffee

That first cup of coffee
Sweetness and power and motivation
But then, who do I fool?
It is nothing but a weakness
of mine, a dependency and a money drain

Nonetheless, it is the prelude to a morning
The first fuel of the day
The exclamation point at the end of a commute
Ending punctuation to work's first half-hour
Inexpensive, influential mystery

Who knows why it tastes good?
What leads me to write about this brew?
Why bother pondering
This stuff works
Simple and sweet, just caffeine poetry

S60 3rd Edition FP1 Unicode Font Hack

Posted Thu, 07/09/2009 - 10:56 by AJ

Need Chinese, Japanese, Korean display on your Euro/NAM S60 3rd FP1 phone? How about Hebrew? All covered with this hack. Only works with S60 3rd FP1 (not FP2) and obviously, you need a phone with a card slot, so no luck for the N95-2/-4 8GB. Sorry. ): Method is Mac/PC/Linux agnostic; doesn't matter which one you use.

Here's how you do it:

Nokia E71 Quickies

Posted Wed, 05/13/2009 - 15:15 by AJ

Just a quick look at my E71 through the months. Originally got a Gray Steel NAM (that's North American Market, which means it will work on the 3.5G networks here for high-speed Internet, better signal) that I sold and replaced with a (then) rare White Steel NAM unit. That's stayed with me until now, one of my longest-serving phones to date, and It's gone through some cosmetic changes of its own, especially since Rogers Wireless up here in Canada started offering the White Steel E71 themselves.
