In times like these when you value your security very much and having peace of mind is non-negotiable , then having the Handy Blacklist for your Symbian phone is a must.  You don’t have to mutter under your breath if somebody whom you don’t like gives you a ring because the Handy Blacklist can easily block that person off from your phone.

Sometimes you feel bad when you ignore somebody’s call even if you don’t like that person but now with the Handy Blacklist you can’t even see that that person is calling you.  If in the coming days you change your mind about somebody who is on your blocked list, then simply call the number and send that person an SMS and the number will be taken off from the blocked list.

With the Handy Blacklist, you don’t have to worry about receiving calls from people you don’t like.

Features for Handy Blacklist for S60:

• NEW!!! Allow list contains numbers which will be allowed to receive while others will be rejected. In addition, you can choose a “reject” action to return a prewritten text message back to the caller.

• NEW!!! Timed activation is available for both lists. Floating indicator on the standby screen shows what list is currently activated.(for S60 3rd Edition only)

The Nokia E55 just passed the FCC. The Nokia E55 is a candybar smartphone that features 20-key QWERTY keyboard, QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS, Wi-Fi, stereo Bluetooh and microSDHC card slot.

The “dash 1” variant of the Nokia E55 has just garnered approval from FCC. Nokia keeps pumping all of its devices through FCC labs, despite the fact they’re not selling that well in the United States, to say the least. Latest phone we caught on its way to the North American market is the ultra-thin smartphone – Nokia E55. Announced alongside the E75 at the Mobile Congress in Barcelona, it prides itself with ROKR-type keyboard, WiFi, GPS, HSDPA, 3.2 megapixel camera, Symbian S60 3.2, and so on. We have no idea whether some carrier in the United States will pick it up, but we have no doubts it will reach Nokia’s Flagship stores in Chicago and New York City.

Nokia E55 is a S60 smartphone, which comes in at 9.9mm thick. So just when can we expect to see the E55 and its “compact QWERTY”? That’s not known as this point, but Europeans will be able to pick one up soon.

The latest version of the Symbian operating system is expected to be on commercially available smartphones early next year.

The Symbian Foundation will release a beta version of the open source Symbian within the next few weeks, according to a company executive.

The official version of the open source operating system should be available for full release in about six months, and it should be on retail smartphones in early 2010. The OS will be called Symbian2, and it combines elements of previous versions of Symbian, Nokia’s S60, MOAP, and UIQ.

This beta release will be the first real fruit from the Symbian Foundation, which was put into motion when Nokia purchased Symbian outright and spun it off into a non-profit organization about a year ago. The goal of the foundation is to create an open source mobile OS that can be used by any handset manufacturer. The foundation’s members include AT&T, Samsung, LG Electronics, Vodafone, and other influential industry players.

While Symbian is still the most widely used smartphone operating system in the world, Nokia did not want it to lose momentum as Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android emerged on the scene. Those rivals arguably have easier software development kits to develop for, and virtual application stores that made distributing programs easier. By making Symbian open source and royalty-free, Nokia is trying to expand the footprint of the mobile OS.

The foundation has also laid out an aggressive timetable for software updates; expect an updated OS nearly every six months with improved functionalities. While it is technically possible to run Symbian2 on some existing devices, the decision will be left up to the device manufacturer and carriers.

Nokia is understood to be developing a mobile phone that runs on Google’s Android software platform in a strategic U-turn for the world’s largest mobile phone manufacturer.

The new touchscreen device will be unveiled at the Nokia World conference in September, say industry insiders, as the Finnish handset giant tries to revive its fortunes in the smartphone market.

Nokia, which makes roughly four out of every 10 mobile phones sold, has been losing out in the market for phones that can access the internet, send emails and download third-party applications, to products such as the Apple iPhone and BlackBerry Storm. The Android software platform, meanwhile, has been gaining ground with over half a dozen handsets expected to be available by the end of the year.

The smartphone segment is critical as it is the only part of the mobile phone market which is growing. Cash-strapped consumers are either holding on to their existing phones and opting for cheaper SIM-only deals or “trading up” to more advanced gadgets such as the iPhone.

Opting to use Android, an “open source” platform that any software developer can access, is a reversal of the company’s previous strategy in mobile phone software.

A year ago, Nokia bought out the partners in its Symbian mobile software joint venture and announced plans to make its products free of charge to other manufacturers in an attempt to see off the threat posed by Android and the iPhone.

But the response to the opening of Symbian has been relatively muted. By contrast, users of the iPhone have already downloaded over a billion applications in just nine months and Android has attracted a host of developers offering their “widgets”, or applications, to consumers through the Android Marketplace.

Gadget fans have already hacked one of Nokia’s existing devices, the N810 internet tablet, so it can run the Android system but the new device is expected to fully integrate the Android platform.

There has also been speculation that Nokia is looking to extend its smartphone range as a result of its recent deal to collaborate with chip giant Intel. Nokia however denied the rumors. Through a spokesman, Nokia responded, “Absolutely no truth to this whatsoever, everyone knows that Symbian is our preferred platform for advanced mobile devices.”

Let us wait and see the next chapter of this story. There is no smoke if there is no fire. The Nokia World Conference will be on September. Let us all speculate and be patient.
