Series 60 tips and tricks

Symbian's still supposedly got the largest market share of any smartphone operating system in the world, but just because it hasn't (yet) made a big splash in the American market doesn't mean there's not a wealth of helpful tips 'n' tricks to make the most of that Nokia (or Samsung, or Siemens, etc.). So let's see your hand, what have you been doing to make the most of that Series 60 smartphone of yours?

I saw that someone was interested in listening to BBC radio on their phone. I've been doing it for a while in the US (thanx for the unlimited data!) - the builtin realplayer can do it - you just need the ram file. Try creating a text file, call it music.ram or whatever, then put in "rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk/1xtra/nextchapter_fri.ra" (without the quotes), send it to your phone & play it! (this is DJ flight on 1Xtra)

>>And i also picked up a file from a particular forum that someone made so it would work as a USB drive but i'm not sure whether it exists in commercial format.


Ok, you can't just throw this in a post and then not point us in the right direction...

I few of my favorite things:

1) Create a local web page on your phone to get to all those rtsp stream you want to listen to on your phone.
ie NPR 5 minute news briefs (or add them to the local Opera home page)
rtsp://real.npr.na-central.speedera.net:80/real.npr.na-central/news.db.rm
or your local NPR station
rtsp://128.208.34.90:554/broadcast/live.rm
2) Google local,maps, direction, sat images I'm suprised nobody has mentioned it yet http://www.google.com/glm/
3) Ping. http://www.aspicore.com/download/ACPING_S60.SIS
4) Smartmovie, for watching Divx
5) The nokia (give me a normal headphone jack adapater so i can oggplay in the car) http://europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,,70955,00.html

So where did you find the mass storage sis file?
