We just got 2 new Nokia N78 on contract from o2 because we needed it for the sales team of SALAM Magazine. Ali has the other one. So anyway since it comes with free unlimited WAP, I thought why not utalise it much as I can. So I set it up to receive emails from Gmail. Here are the steps you have to take to receive emails from Gmail straight to your phone like an text message:

1. Enable IMAP in your Gmail account settings.
2. Select ‘Messaging’ > ‘Options’ > ‘Settings’ > ‘E-mail’ > ‘Mailboxes.’
3. If you have never set up email on your phone before, select ‘Yes’ to define a new mailbox. If you already have other mailboxes, select ‘Options’ and then ‘New mailbox.’
4. Select ‘Start’ to begin the setup wizard.
5. Select ‘IMAP4′ and then ‘Next.’
6. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com (in my case it was @sal.am)‘) as the email address and select ‘Next.’
7. Enter ‘imap.gmail.com’ as the incoming mail server and select ‘Next.’
8. Enter ’smtp.gmail.com’ as the outgoing mail server and select ‘Next.’
9. Select the appropriate access point and then ‘Next.’
10. Enter a descriptive name for the email account mailbox name.
11. Once your mailbox is set up, select it from the email mailbox settings screen.
12. Select ‘Connection settings’ > ‘Incoming e-mail.’
13. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com (again for me it was @sal.am)‘) and password.
14. Select ‘SSL/TLS’ for your security (ports) and define your port as ‘993.’
15. Select ‘Back.’
16. Select ‘Outgoing e-mail.’
17. Enter your Gmail username (including ‘@gmail.com (again @sal.am for me)‘) and password.
18. Select ‘StartTLS’ for your security (ports) and define your port as ‘587.’
19. Select ‘Back’ and change any other settings according to your preferences.

This should work for all Symbian 60 phones. Link to the official instructions. Many thanks to then82blog.

I have always been a max payne fan, since back in (hmmm can’t remember but around) 2001 I bought the PC game Max Payne 1. Now they are making a film out of it… Starring Mark Wahlberg, Chris O’Donnell, Beau Bridges, Ludacris, Mila Kunis, Donal Logue, and Amaury Nolasco. I don’t think Mark Wahlberg would suit the character, he don’t have that action hero look to him. Think Matt Damon would of suited the character more, as he proved himself as an action hero actor from all the Bourne movies. Anyways here is rare poster for Max Payne… Graphically looks stunning:

I know i’m slow, but finally I managed to watch Batman 2. The reason why I took so long was because I wanted to watch it in Imax, and therefore had to wait a extra month. But you know what it was sooo worth it. The film was fantastic!! Joker has to be the most psychotic vilian ever! It’s sad he passed away in real life though, was an exceptional performance. He deserves to win the Oscar, if he gets nominated.

Oh and imax changed the whole look of the cinema just for this film and all the ticket was sold out. Not even one seat was empty, it was all pre-booked.  Here’s some pics… I just wanted to try out my new Nokia 6220, it has 5px camera!! Wicked.
