Now, the question is, whether they really plan to do so ? If any Skyfire official can comment on this, I'd be more than glad to publish it here. And depending on how they act, Skyfire shall one day become my favourite browser as well - as it has the full potential to become the king of mobile browsing. And I'd be glad to review it despite all these security concerns (and I may be able to reveal the truth too - if there's nothing to worry about). Comments are welcome !
As my phone's memory was full, I was looking for stuff to delete this morning. While browsing through the directories (using X-Plore ), I came to one of my screenshot folders and when I checked its details, it had taken 1.2MB of my memory. So I deleted 16 out of the 20 screenshots that were in the folder, but it was still taking 684KB of my phone memory. I wondered.. I usually use JPEG Low Quality for my screenshots.. It's just then I noticed that I had turned Show Hidden Files functionality off in my X-Plore. I turned it on and, here comes the hidden ones.. Under each Screenshots folder was a folder called _PAlbTN which stored thumbnails of each Screenshot in that folder using 170x128, 320x320 and 56x42 resolutions. While looking around a bit, I realised that these _PAlbTN folders were available for other image directories too and that these were created by the S60 OS itself and that the OS creates these thumbnails not only for Screenshots, but for each and every image in the phone (ie - even if it is a single image, a _PAlbTN directory is created just for it wherever it is) . So for each image on your phone, you store four copies of it in your memory (either on phone or memory card depending on where you store the image). The bad thing is that (it seems) these thumbnails are not deleted even when you delete the original image. So they eat up a huge amount of your memory and as the OS makes copies wherever the images are (doesn't matter whether you save 299 images in ten folders inside Images folder and one in the root directory of Sounds folder, it always makes eleven _PAlbTN folders in all those places), it might be a disadvantage for you to store your images in many folders too. So, this is how stored images eat up your phone memory and I believe keeping the images properly organized may reduce the size they take (as each new created _PAlbTN directory takes some amount of memory). Did any of you find out any method to reduce the size of _PAlbTNs ? Or any different behaviour of these (like I realised that thumbnails for camera images are stored somewhere else and not in the respective folders ) ? Comments are welcome.
NOTICE: Do not fiddle too much with your system folders - it is *extremely* dangerous and I shall not be responsible for whatever results you may get by doing so.

So it's my chance:
My *all time* favourite is Nokia 6233.
This is just my opinion. What about yours ?

Not sure whether they really had a Tube while shooting or whether they added it using computer, but here are the pics of the Nokia 5800 XpressMedia phone to be found on the new BatMan movie. Thanks to xell @ Mobile-Review forums and his friend.
In a different resolution. I think the Calculator will get a facelift quite soon, but it seems that first they ported the usual Calculator to this. I'm very grateful to ICEman_c81 for taking these great screenshots.

A BIG THANK GOES ICEman_c81 for kindly providing this screenshot (If the name sounds familiar, yes, he's a great theme maker too).

Opera Software today released the first public beta of Opera Mobile 9.5, which they promise to be the best mobile browser ever. Sadly, only for Windows Mobile devices as they are still making the Symbian version and I believe that they are looking for a S60 touch device to come out soon as the new 9.5 browser gets a lot of help from a touch screen for page navigation. As usual, the download can be found over at opera.com .
This is another great creation by Flahorn as always and not to mention his own unique Flahorn icon set which beats default S60 icons in every way but yet not taking away the original look and feel of your S60 device. Sure, Flahorn is one of the very best theme creators (or shall we call him an artist - his icon set, his arts and all are available on his homepage) for S60 and he's really good enough to lead Nokia's UI design too.. Great work Flahorn, keep it up !
The theme is currently only working with QVGA displays fine and a version for 2nd edition devices are coming up too !

Which main changes can we expect ?
"Transition effects were the cornerstone of S60 FP2 update and they did a great job adding new flavors to the user interface. So now feature phones can benefit from this feature, as they have added one effect that makes pop-up windows with notifications appear on the screen smoothly. While these special effects are eye-candy, occasionally they seem somewhat sluggish due to the CPU's insufficient speed;</li>
<li>Full-fledged support for Flash Lite 3 that allows running games and various animated swf files, including time- and date-conscious wallpapers; </li>
<li>Support for WiFi that extends beyond VoIP – data connections are now available too </li>
<li>Enhanced phonebook, revamped email client;</li>
<li>New browser building upon WebKit open source project;</li>
<li>Maps application integrated into the platform, although its an older version compared to the app found in S60-powered devices;</li>
<li>Support for new Java APIs - JSR-179 Location API, JSR-205 – Wireless Messaging API;</li>
<li>OMA Message 1.3;</li>
<li>Horizontal scrolling of lists in the user interface;</li>
<li>Themes now apply to radio application and multimedia player;</li>
<li>New UI elements – pop-up windows"
Although, I find the new menu icons rather sluggish and ugly, hopefully someone will make some good themes soon. So head over to the review, at Mobile-Review : http://www.mobile-review.com/review/s40-6th-edition-en.shtml
