Are you looking for a Facebook App for your Nokia E71? Well, the OVI store has officially released one and all of us E71 lovers can take advantage of it! This one did not have a “press release” but needless to say would be a big hit.
My initial review is that this app is a good initial app that bridges the gap between the E71 and Facebook. There is a lot of improvements to be had though. For example, the chat feature of Facebook is not available in the phone app. But for now I’ll give it a 9 out of 10 rating.
Thanks to Nokia’s partnership with Gameloft we can now download free E71 games from the Nokia OVI store! The games are not only for the E71 but for other models as well. I am not sure what other models are supported so I would not list them here.
This offer is for a limited time only. From what I have heard, it is only offered until January of next year. So if I were you, make haste and go to the Nokia OVI Store now!
Here is the list of free games offered. There are 10:

So without further ado, let us check out the ways we can watch Miss Universe 2009 online. First is by lingering in this website and clicking the play button below once the show is on air:
Or if you can afford it and want some high quality online streaming, you can cash out some money and pay for a web service here (this is not an affiliate link…).
You can also watch the action on stage AFTER the coronation right from the MissUniverse website itself.
The NC tax free weekend is back! It starts on August 7 2009, Friday and ends on August 9 2009, Sunday. This surely is a welcome tax break from hurting consumers who needs some supplies badly. However, not all states are included in the tax free weekend. Florida and Massachusetts are not included as those states cannot afford the loss in revenue.
Sample items(too long to list all…) that are eligible for the tax break are:
Download the latest version of Fring from FRING LATEST
Once installed, go to the third tab and choose MSN Messenger.
Login and voila you’re done! It’s that easy.
How to Use ICQ Via E71
Well the instructions are the same as above except that you have to choose ICQ from the list of available Instant Messengers.
How to Watch Youtube Videos in E71
There are 2 ways actually (that I recommend). One is by going to http://m.youtube.com using your favorite mobile browser. Another way is by downloading the Youtube for Mobile App. Here are the instructions:
Download the Youtube for Mobile App. You can do this through the Google Mobile App or by entering this URL in your default mobile web browser => http://download.cnet.com/YouTube-for-Mobile-Symbian/3000-13632_4-10910986.html
Install it.
Start watching youtube videos as you would in a PC!
If you have more questions about E71 MSN, E71 ICQ and E71 Youtube, just leave a comment below.
The other day I was looking for a way to convert .wav files to .mp3 format. I tried looking for .wav to .mp3 converters which were free. I found some free softwares in the internet but was disappointed since they only converted a portion of your file and if you want to convert the whole file then you need to buy the full version of the software!
Then I remembered that I had the VLC media player. Not only is it a player but it can do things you would not expect it to do. For example, it can save your DVD movies into a file among many other cool things. So, I tried to see if it can convert .wav files into .mp3 files and what do you know it does. So for those of you who were as frustrated as me in finding such a free software to convert your .wav files into .mp3 then you’ve come to the right place. Just follow the instructions below and you’ll be on your way to .wav to .mp3 file conversion frenzy!
Once you have it, on the Menu, choose File -> Open File..
In the File tab, browse for your file and select it.
Still in the File tab, check the Stream/Save check box then click Settings…
In the Outputs section, check the File check box, enter the filename of the target converted file and make sure it ends with .mp3 .
In the Encapsulation method section, choose Raw.
In the Transcoding option section, check the Audio codec check box, choose s16l from the dropdown menu then choose your preferred bitrate(the higher the better quality but bigger file size…)
Press Ok twice and start the conversion.
Once done then that’s it! Check your file in the directory where your chose to save it.
Those are the steps to convert it to .mp3 . If you want to experiment a bit, you can convert it to different file types other than .mp3 . Let me know if you have any questions.
PS. Pamela Call Recorder is the call recorder for Skype…
