Sync Evolution and N95

Francisco Keppler Silva Alecrim — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:54:17 +0000

A few days ago I synchronized Evolution with my N95 phone. It was possible because I found a tutorial/post from Ubuntu Forum that helped me a lot.

Thanks to HyRax!

N95 8G - some applications

Francisco Keppler Silva Alecrim — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 06:16:22 +0000

A few weeks ago I got my new N95-8G and I want to talk about some applications that I’m using.

First of all, I talk about the Bar Code Reader. It’s nice application already installed in your N95-8G phone. Look at the video below to have more details.

Inigma’s web interface is a good option to create 2D codes. I’ll share the URL of applications using this method.

* Python - S60

* Amora

* Frozen Bubble

* Google applications for S60

* Sharing pictures

I was using Picasa web to share my pictures, but it’s little difficult to upload pictures using GNU/Linux and it’s not possible with N95. Flickr applications for GNU/Linux and N95 are better than Picasa. Now, I’m using Flickr.

That’s it!
