Symbian in Motion

A big congrats to pilsner and Rolf, winners of free irRemote license codes courtesy of Psiloc! Their comments in the original contest post were randomly picked using Andrew Hedges’ random number picker. I’ll have emails out to each of them shortly containing their prize. Woo hoo!

People seemed to have enjoyed my last themes post so I thought I’d give you guys a few more that you might like. Note that only the Crossed Lines theme is made entirely of SVG graphics - the rest are optimized for portrait-orientation QVGA displays. Enjoy!

First, two great themes from my new favorite themer Taieb.

I know that Stefan loves Taieb’s Bronze Cubic theme but now that he’s packing an N82 (which is equipped with auto-screen rotation) he must be pretty annoyed by the bug that presents itself in landscape mode. Thankfully Taieb corrected it in the latest version along with a few other bugs:

Bronze Cubic 1.3 by Taieb

This next amazing theme by Taieb will tide us all over while the S60 design team works out all of the bugs in their Haze theme:

S60 Touch by Taieb

I’ve been liking this next theme a lot lately. It’s subtle and the graphic kind of looks like a pattern on fabric:

Here’s a great theme by a themer that I’ve enjoyed for quite a while. Teddy is responsible for several of my favorite landscape QVGA themes and I’m very happy to see him coming out with great portrait themes again:

This theme would be one of my favorites of the bunch if it wasn’t for the horribly annoying animated menu highlights. I love the look and the colors though so I figured I would post it in case the animations don’t bother some of you guys:

RAVEN 2 LE by ~007TINAR

Finally, a theme by one of the greats. One of the latest from Supertonic:

Of course just about everyone knows by now that one of the most sought-after apps in Symbian history is now available for S60 3rd devices. I’ve posted several times about irRemote and it’s already being enjoyed by thousands I’m sure. Well thanks to Psiloc two more SiMo readers will enjoy this great app - for free!

That’s right; I’ll be giving free unlimited license codes away to two lucky SiMo readers courtesy of Psiloc. How can you get one? Well this contest is very simple (and not very creative). Post a comment. Yup, that’s it! Tell me why you want irRemote, tell me why you love Psiloc, tell me why you love SiMo, or tell me whatever else you want. :)

At the end of the week (Friday) I’ll pick two comments at random and the authors will receive their license codes via email. Good luck!

The contest is over! Click through to see the winners.

I apologize for the recent silence but I’m just now catching up on everything I missed while enjoying the long holiday weekend here in the US. While I get everything in order I wanted to point you towards a great new feature over on the Symbiano-Tek blog.

Tarek Ghazali has started a new series where he will be providing unbiased reviews of mobile-centric blogs every Friday. In my opinion, this is a great series that may be useful to many readers out there. I’m always on the look out for new blogs/resources and it will be great to know that I can rely on a concise new review every Friday.

Tarek’s first published segment just so happens to be focused on Symbian in Motion. Woo hoo! ;) Click through to check it out - lots of good observations. I always enjoy feedback so a big thanks to Tarek! I highly recommend that you keep an eye on Symbiano-Tek to see what resources will be covered next.

I posted a while ago about the Mobile9.com online s60 theme creator and since then it has received some BIG updates. It’s still in beta but there have been some massive improvements. If you haven’t yet checked it out you really should!

Updates since my last post include a whole variety of SVG graphics that you can choose from and add to your custom theme including clocks, menu backgrounds, highlights and even icon packs! You can also upload your own icon pack!!

Definitely head over to the Nokia S60 Theme Creator and check it out. You must be a member of Mobile9.com to use it but registration is free as is all of the content on the site! Enjoy :)
