Download eBooks using fget
Sometimes, downloading a file directly on our mobile phone sounds complicated to others. That depends on the mobile phone we are using, depends on the mobile’s operating system, depends on the memory are the common reasons.
There was a time that I need to download an ebook file but I’ve just formatted my mobile. I have limited access to computer at that time. Most ebooks comes in big file size, sometimes downloading them through your built-in browser (depends on the size) would cost you unreasonable price. If you’re unlucky, the connection will stop and made your download incomplete.
Valentine’s Day Quote SMS Made Easy
Love quotes… Valentine’s Day quotes… romantic quotes… these are the kind of keywords searchable now. People young at heart in every walks of life are searching for SMS quotes. Its affordable and convenient way of greeting our loved ones on Valentine’s Day.
Okay, provided that you’ve seen an appropriate SMS for your honey, for your relatives and friends. What is the best way to send them easier? If I wasn’t mistaken, I’ve been using this mobile application for over a year on my S60 mobile phone. It made sending group SMS hassle-free, simple to use and not time consuming.
NaSMS is a mobile application that allows you to send group SMS easier. The nice thing with this application… while the group SMS is still sending (using NaSMS), you can still send and receive SMS on your built-in messaging without interruption. They’ve released the latest Symbian9 S60 3rd edition version 1.5 in sisx format last February 9, 2008. I’m still using the older version 1.3 since it is the version compatible on my 6630.
If you’re still not successful on finding the appropriate Valentine’s Day SMS for your loved ones, you might want to check this Love SMS compilation.
How I Started On Mobile eBooks
Four years ago, I was an active member of a girl forum. Most of the topics were mostly women’s talk, one thread caught my attention. It was Harry Potter’s comparison between the movie & the book. They’ve said, book version was far better than the movie. I want to disagree but I haven’t read any book of Harry Potter series. I want to have a copy but I cant afford it at that time. Then I searched for an alternative option, I saw a link on that forum, one of the member share her pdf copy of HP books. I’ve download them and researched on how can I have them read on my mobile phone, I was using Nokia 3650 at that time.
Since I’m into blogging already, I asked almost all of the co-bloggers for help. Sad to say, nobody got the answers. Buying a PDA was neither an option. There must be a solution! hehehe… I saw a thread at the “for sale” section of that forum. She’s selling ebooks as sideline, ebooks at 10php each in different formats. Order a minimum of 10 ebooks @ 10php (promo). Regular price was 50php per ebook. Have to try them first if its possible so I’ve ordered ebooks in pdb format. Why pdb? Because buyers order ebooks for their pc or pda. *.pdf for pc and *.pdb for pda.
After I’ve received the files through email, I saved them on my email’s briefcase, went to my cousin’s internet shop. I don’t have my own PC at that time. He have this bluetooth service on his shop, my suggestion actually. Anyway, he sent the files to my cellphone via bluetooth. Then I searched for a mobile application that reads pdb files. I saw handybook reader, installed it and used it for my purchased ebooks. And that’s how my mobile ebook reading hobby started.
Back Up Your Contacts
Need to transfer your contacts from one mobile phone to another? Most of the time, I’ve encountered people saying that they’ve accidentally deleted an important contact or in some way they’ve lost their contacts. It made me wonder, they’re using a 3G phone or maybe a symbian 60 phone and yet they haven’t heard of this mobile application.
We cannot use mobile as a form of communication if we don’t have contacts on our phone book, right? Just like our mobile files, we also need to back them up. Contacts are more important than our files, copying them on our sim card wasn’t enough. Sim cards have limited memory.
This application wasn’t new to me, I’ve been using this mobile application for a long time and haven’t found any application better than this one. Backup Contacts v1.10 is a freeware and long time available in the market.
Import All – retrieve contacts from your backup file
Export All – back up your entire contacts to a file
Import Sel - retrieve a selected contact
Export Sel – back up a selected contact
Receiv File – receive file via bluetooth
Send File – send backup file via bluetoothHow to back up contacts:
- Open Bkup Contacts, click “export All”
- Choose “to Local File”, choose the drive or directory you want the file to be saved. I save them both on memory card and phone memory.
- Type the filename, click ok.
- If you open your file manager or FExplorer, you already have your backup named as “yourchosenbackupname.vcf”
Download: Backup Contacts v1.10

Customizing Opera
This is how my opera homepage looks like, haven’t got time to update this for quite sometime. 2 or 3 years ago, I’ve read an article from a mobile co-blogger that Opera homepage can be edited. Of course, I’m intrigued and challenged.
Why do I want my Opera browser customized?
- I got bored easily with the default homepage.
- I want colors and graphics.
- I want my bookmarks included on the html pages.
- I want it suited to my needs.
I’m using Opera 8.65 now with minimal bookmarks saved. These are new bookmarks that I haven’t included on my html pages yet. My homepage consists of Google search engine, links to 5 more personalized html pages, css and links to some of my mobile accounts. The layout had a transparent image background (just like others did to their friendster accounts), marquees, animated buttons, etc. For the record, I’ve started from scratch since at that time I don’t know any html, css and javascript codes. Some modifications followed as I learned html codes. In fact, some are doing this for their Opera desktop. A little googling around, you’ll find some tutorials on customizing Opera desktop.
