A couple of days ago I finally received my brand new HTC Desire (featuring a SLCD-screen instead of the OLED and Android 2.2) that I ordered ages ago. Thus I soon will start posting Android stuff here, and as soon as I finish my masters thesis I'll start writing software for Android too (and posting about it here).Read more »

Quickmark has finally released their Symbian 3rd edition version barcode reader, becoming in my opinion the best barcode reader for camera cell phones available today. In my previous test Quickmark would have been the best barcode reader, but was passed by Kaywa due to the fact that they didn’t offer a 3rd edition version. This has now finally changed. The following should give you good reason to switch to Quickmark:

As you might have noticed there hasn't been very much activity on gsmblog lately. This is due to the fact that I have been busy getting the new version of gsmstuff.net running, and also been traveling a bit lately. But updates should be more regular from now on.

Anyhow, I wanted to try out the early bird version of mShell for 3rd edition, and realized that I would have to sign the application myself to be able to install it. I realized that I actually never had done that before, and when trying to do it I realized it would be easier with a tutorial. Unfortunately all of the guides out there seemed to be rather lousy. Most of them step by step guides, with millions of pictures that just made things harder to understand. So I decided to make my own quick and dirty guide, for those of us who have used a computer before, and don't need a picture-by-picture tutorial. So here goes.Read more »

I have written a review of each of the 13 most important and most used add-on applications on my N80. A lot of the applications are "must have", others depend upon how you use your phone. Most of the software is actually freeware, but some of it is payware (and their worth it). Anyhow, this is just my idea of what I absolutely have to have on my phone. Please feel free to give me feedback, using the link at the bottom of the article.Read more »

I have tested 6 different barcode readers for mobile phones. And I will publish a review of each barcode reader here. The third barcode reader is Glass. Unfortunately I don't have much to base this test on, so if somebody could help me out I would be grateful.

I have tested 6 different barcode readers for mobile phones. And I will publish a review of each barcode reader here. The second barcode reader tested is the QODE reader. This barcode reader is technically a very good reader, but the use seen from an end-users point of view is rather limited unfortunately.

I have tested 6 different barcode readers for mobile phones. And I will publish a review of each barcode reader here. First out is the test winner Kaywa. The Kaywa barcode reader makes all the other barcode readers seem like beta software. This barcode reader is so much better than any of the others tested. This software is a good example of how it should be done.

 Nokia E-series phones have an advanced search application that allows you to search your messages, e-mails, calendar events, contacts, to-dos, notes and files. For some reason it isn't part of their N-series phones, perhaps to make their E-series more attractive. Luckily it's possible to install the search application on any Symbian 3rd edition device. So now you can get advanced search on your N-series phone.
