Back when I had a Nokia 6682, I had access to an awesome freeware app that let you use Morse code to tap out your text messages. It’s never been updated to S60 3rd so I decided to make my own using Flash Lite.
Now some caveats: I don’t usually make applications of any sort, which [...]

I wanted to test the Flash Lite environment on my N95, so I dug through my old Flash files from back when I was doing web development and found an animation that I was able to convert. I added a little clock functionality to it and packaged it as a Flash screensaver/application for the N95. [...]

S60 uber-site allaboutsymbian.com has spent much of the summer examining every single potential use of the TV Out capabilities of the N95 (you just plug a headphone-style jack into the headphone port and then plug the other ends into your TV’s composite input ports).

One of the most glaring design flaws of the N95 is that, while it has full gaming capabilities under the hood, it has a horrible button layout that almost guarantees you will launch other applications or somehow exit or pause your game multiple times per session.
SmartGamePad (www.smartgamepad.com) ($80) is an add-on Bluetooth device that lets [...]

Many applications now ask for your IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number in order to authorize a license. It’s easy to find–just type the following code with your keypad:
