There are a lot of ‘unsigned’ applications floating around the web, partly because part time developers either do not have the time or money to get their applications signed via the Symbian Signed program. While quite a bit of such applications can be signed via the Open Signed website, some cannot be and quite frankly there are times when we are simply lazy. For all such reasons it is best to have a developer certificate with which you can sign the files on the phone itself and install without having to bother with any other method. The following tutorial will show you how to get a certificate (generally within three hours) and is much easier than the OPDA method.

Mobile gamers will be interested to know that Crash is returning with another 2D side-scroller, Mutant Island. The game is being developed by Glu Mobile and it doesn't look that different from the mobile version of Crash of the Titans. Mutant Island appears to be the latest in the line of mobile 2D Crash sidescrollers. Crash will retain his ability to control large mutants and harness their powers to progress. Platforming will be present and Crash will venture through different worlds, some of which can be seen in the screenshots above (a castle, a dungeon and a big ol' tree, respectively). And the rest is speculation.

How would you like to see a full screen display of your friends and relatives faces on the phone’s screen when they call or text you or see a full screen video of your daughter when she rings you? The SkyeCaller PRO II does just that by adding a visual element to all voice and text communications. It allows easy personalization of caller image display, video ringtone playback and management of audio ringtones. Beyond displaying fullscreen caller/messager images Skyecaller PRO implements video ringtones, audio ringtone management, some additional new functionality (such as the ability to assign images/videos/ringtones to a contact OR to a profile), and an entirely new menu/operation structure that I simply love! Beyond all that, Skyecaller PRO gives you the ability to quickly and easily download content using menu options within the app that initiate the integrated S60 3rd browser and link directly to the appropriate Skyestream content page.
