Opera Mobile 10 on Nokia E71

November 14th, 2009 No Comments   Posted in Mobile Phone, Software

operamobile01I was a fan of Opera Mini way back when it was still in its early stages of development. I used it with my old Sony Ericsson K608i mobile phone and it works well for my basic browsing needs.

When I got my hands on my Sony Ericsson W960i Smart Phone, it was when I started using Opera Mobile for UIQ3 (Version 9). It was also during this time when iPhone was boasting its touch-interface Safari browser. I loved the Opera Mobile since it’s performance is at par with that of the Safari.

Setting up your Nokia E71 Instant Messenger to work with Yahoo! Messenger

Nokia E71

One of the features of the Nokia E71 is it’s built-in Instant Messaging application. Little that everyone know, Nokia’s IM application can be used with Yahoo! Messenger. Most of the time, we are notfied with a “Notify your service provider” -like messages when we’re not sure with the settings to be entered.

To configure your E71′s Nokia Instant Messenger to work with Yahoo! Messenger, just follow these simple instructions:

1. Open the IM application. (Home Key > Communication > IM)

2. For fresh installations, you will be asked for a Server Name, Access Point in use, Web Address and your own username and password.

The Server Name is used as a quick reference to what the server settings is all about. Since we’re setting up YIM, you may place “Yahoo! Messenger” as Server Name.

The access point in use will determine which internt data connection to use when connecting to a server.

The web address will contain the url/ip of the server which will host the IM service. In our case, it’s Yahoo!

The username/password are the same with your preferred login for desktop Yahoo! Messenger.

3. Enter the follwing information from the fields in #2.

Server Name  : Yahoo! Messenger
Web Address : imps.msg.yahoo.com
Username: <your username>
Password: <your password>

Mobile IM is sometimes annoying since it introduces a great amount of lag. It usually take a minute before the expected message arrives.

** Note: This set-up may also work with N82, N95 and other similar phone models (S60 v3 FP1).
