Here I will review and post information on some interesting and useful free/commercial applications that can really enhance the productivity of your N95/Nseries or other symbian series 60v3 phone.
Do watch this space as I will keep adding new software information as I find time.


Security Genius

This is one must have software that could help you possily trace your phone if someone stole your phone or you lost it.
This program is started automatically(and thats the only way to start) when you boot the phone and runs in the background.

the only way to access it is by dialing the access code *#123456# (which can be changed). once you get to the screen you can ser the password, 2 phone numbers to which this program will send SMS to in case someone changes the SIM card without your knowledge. you can also customize the message that will be sent to the numbers.
Since this is a security software it resides in stealth mode, i.e., not listed in the menu or installed applications list and cannot be uninstalled.

Download the trial version from one of the popular shareware sites for series 60 like symbianware.com , allaboutsymbian.com , my-symbian.com , handango.com etc . official site is http://www.symbianon.com/
tip:- the trial version can be reinstalled any number of times after expiry.
