Symbian in Motion

Quick Clicks #5

Big news from Silent Communication came recently with the announcement that France Telecom-owned Orange France is now offering Silent’s innovative communication solution TalkinSilent to their Symbian customers. Rebadged as “réponse discrète,” this great app is now available as a mobile download on the following Orange-branded Nokia models: 6680, N70, 6630, E61, E65, N95 and 6120.

As more carriers begin to recognize the benefits that the TalkinSilent solution provides, hopefully it’s only a matter of time before this useful app is available to all of us! In the meantime, you can download the trial version here and keep emailing your carrier if it’s not already available in your region.

Mobile IM and MoIP solution fring has recently been updated and now includes ICQ support.

Just as with any other integrated service, to enable ICQ in fring simply go to Options -> Settings -> Configure Services and enter your ICQ detials. If you don’t already use fring, you should check out my review of this great freeware app and then head over to their site and sign up!

Have you ever had a little jingle in your head that you thought would make a great message alert or ringtone? It probably happens all the time but once you finally get to a PC the odds are pretty good that you’ve forgotten it (if you even have a MIDI editor to create your tone). Thanks to a new app by mBounce you can create melodies on the go right on your S60 3rd device!

MusicBox is a fun little piece of freeware that allows you to create short songs that sound like they’re being played by an old music box. It’s very easy to use and outputs MIDI files that are compatible with just about every modern mobile phone. The app opens to the main editor screen where you use the directional pad to place notes on the three-octave piano roll. As you progress you can play your tune at any time by choosing Options -> Play.

Once your ditty is just the way you want it, MusicBox allows you to save it to any directory on your phone or MMC. You can also send the MIDI output to nearby friends quickly and easily via bluetooth by selecting Options -> Send. No need to deprive your friends that aren’t close by of your masterpiece though! You can easily save your song and then attach the MIDI file to an email or MMS.
