See my favourite widgets on the homescreen. <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/widget-screen.JPG" title="widget homescreen n97"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/widget-screen.JPG" alt="widget homescreen n97" /></a> 3, Incoming Call — Slide to answer or unLock When your phone is in locked status, and there is an incoming call, you can choose to slide to answer or slide to unlock, really surprised when first see the interface~~~ <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/n97-slideanswer.JPG" title="N97 Slide Answer"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/n97-slideanswer.JPG" alt="N97 Slide Answer" /></a> 4, remote lock If you foget your phone somewhere or lost it, you can lock your phone by sending it an SMS with the password you defined. After receiving the password, the phone will be locked! The password can be defined here: Settings-Phone-Phone mgmt.-Security-Phone and SIM card- Remote phone locking. <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sms-lock.JPG" title="remote lock sms n97"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/sms-lock.JPG" alt="remote lock sms n97" /></a> 5, Compass The N97 has an internal compass! it is a great benefit for people like me (with no sense of direction). It comes with Nokia Maps, and need to rotate the devices around. <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/n97compass.JPG" title="N97 compass"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/n97compass.JPG" alt="N97 compass" /></a><a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/compass1.JPG" title="N97 Compass"></a> 6, Timed Profile It is a great functionality for me again! I don’t turn off the phone before sleeping, just turn the profile to “silent”, with it, I don’t need to turn the profile to “silent” every night before I sleep~~~ <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/timedprofile.JPG" title="Timed Profile N97"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/timedprofile.JPG" alt="Timed Profile N97" /></a> 7, FingerPrint Unlock It is not coming with the Nokia N97, instead it is a innovation of mine - Unlock your N97 with your FingerPrint <img class="wp-smiley" src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" alt=";-)" /> The app is available here: <a href="http://thinkchange.cn/">http://thinkchange.cn/</a> <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fingerprint.JPG" title="FingerPrint unlock N97"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/fingerprint.JPG" alt="FingerPrint unlock N97" /></a> Shortcomings: Every master piece has its flaws, after several days using, the most problem for me is the KeyLock! Sometimes, the backlight is not turned on after the key lock is disabled and some times the key lock seems not to be functioning… The other problems is the Compass seems too slow to be activated… Hope Nokia’s next firmware update will solve these problems. if you find anything interesting, welcome to discuss: <a href="mailto:wolftongren@gmail.com">wolftongren@gmail.com</a> General 2009-07-02T06:48:33Z tongren FlipSilent v1.06 get signed http://blogs.forum.nokia.com/blog/ren-tongs-forum-nokia-blog/2008/07/15/flipsilent-v1.06-get-signed  From the very first version of <a href="http://flipsilent.com/">FlipSilent</a> on Jan,20, 2008, it has attracted users from 177 countries and got 330K page views, today , it finally get SIGNED! <a href="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/flipsilentgoogleanalytics.png" title="FlipSilent Google Analytics"><img src="http://symbianblog.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/flipsilentgoogleanalytics.png" alt="FlipSilent Google Analytics" /></a> The main functionality of FlipSilent is to mute the call or alarm when you flip your phone over (by utilizing the accrocelemeters to detect the movement), also it can change the profile based on the position of the phone. Nokia high end phones such as 8800 Arte has preinstalled the same functionality, called “TurnToMute”, also, to the most recent news, Nokia 6210 will also have the same functionality. <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="350" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/KFxUTb8ik3k" id="ltVideoYouTube"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KFxUTb8ik3k" /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="allowScriptAcess" value="sameDomain" /> <param name="quality" value="best" /> <param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /> <param name="FlashVars" value="playerMode=embedded" /> </object> Currently, FlipSilent supports N95, N95 8GB and N82.
