Tech n Fun

This post is for the people who were using the proxy trick for Access point to run Internet/network based java applications like OperaMini, Google maps, ebuddy etc on their Nokia phones. In india, this problem was mainly faced by users of NOP , Airtel. Although, the solution to this problem was already on internet, specifying a proxy server associated with an Access point.

If you were unaware of it, go here and download the files, (for v2,3,4) be sure you first read the README file carefully. This trick is applicable to all the Nokia s40 mobile phones like Nokia 3110c, 5200, 5300, 6131, 6133, 5310 etc). Just follow the procedures and you are done.

But now, the problem arise with the new version, v5 of s40 OS of nokia phones. The above trick wont work in these phones like Nokia 5130 XM, 6300, 2700c etc. These need the individual parameters to allow the proxy settings to work. So here i am giving the solution to this problem which was initated by me and some of my friends of Digit Forum, amir.php and vista_noob.

I have made it more simple for you. Just download this (for v5) and again follow the instructions in the README file. And send the particular .prov file to your phone via bluetooth donlge or laptop. If you are doing this for the first time, i suggest you to have a look to the earlier files, old one first.

If you don't find your operator in the above file, leave your operator GPRS details in comments and I'll provide you the same. Also, leave comments if this is helpful for you and for any other queries.

So, here is my review of Nokia 5130 Xpress Music.
Its the lightweight phone with awesome sound quality, having great look and low on your pockets as this is the cheapest phone available with all these features.

As, its from Nokia's XpressMusic series, there is no doubt about the sound quality and sound output and there are music dedicated keys on left side. Moreover, it has universal 3.5mm jack making it compatible with all standard headsets and can be connected to the your computer's speaker too, which is i think really fabulous. Also, it gives 21h continuous music playback time.

The phone has stereo FM radio with RDS. RDS is Radio Data System that means it gives information about the station frequency like Radio channel name, its frequency, info about current playing song. The feature, AF (alternative frequency) allows your phone to automatically switch to a (nearly) different frequency of the same channel providing more clarity than your current frequency .

This phone has 2 Megapixel camera (1600x1300 pixels) and can take videos with 15 fps. The camera quality is also enhanced with this model.

It has 240x320 pixels screen resolution with 256k colour support. It has a decent battery backup. Apart from GPRS, class 32 and EDGE, class 32 it has Opera Mini as the default web browser making your phone internet experience richer. It also supports Bluetooth v2.0 with A2DP.

Now, one most important thing, it has phone memory of about 27 MB, but expandable memory is about 16 GB, yes 16 GB although there is still some conflict in that but 4GB support is guaranteed and it comes with a bundled 1GB microSD card.

Now some lags, i think, there are still some chances of improvement of bundled headsets, but with 3.5mm jack it overcome with it. Also, there is only one player for all media playback rather videos, mp3's etc...and you have to again select your music files. Initially, this might irritate you.

IMO, go buy it, the current street price is around Rs. 5.3K. With superb music features and other qualities, its going to be a great deal, and it is cheaper because it is manufactured in India rather than imported.

My Ratings : 4.5/5
