Themes for Series 60 phones....

One of the questions that I find myself often being asked is: "Where do you get the themes installed on your cell phone?"

Well, I just tell them that I download them for free from the internet. I often get a lot of obfuscated looks from people who have actually went to Virra Mall in Greenhills and actually paid just to have themes installed on their phones.

Image hosted by Photobucket.comThe truth is, a lot of sites actually offer these themes free for download, and the only price of admission is a PC with internet access (obviously) and a USB port. Most newer cellphones nowadays come with a USB cable right out of the box. Some older models, like my Nokia 6600, connect only wirelessly, either through infrared or bluetooth, so you should have a working adapter of either of those types installed on your PC if you want to try uploading themes.

In fact, I'd even recommend you get a bluetooth adapter for your PC if you have a lot of devices which support it. It can be a real timesaver when transferring data, as you don't have to fiddle with cables. Infrared technology on the other hand, while still being supported by most current devices, is slowly being phased out of the spec sheet of newer ones. For example, the Nokia 6680 which I seem to be keen on purchasing doesn't have an infrared port.

So if you have a Series 60 phone which supports themes (like the Nokia 6600, 6620, 6630, 6670, 6680, 6681, 6260, 3230, 7610, etc., the Siemens SX1, or perhaps other brands and models) you can download themes for free from these sites:

Download nokia theme, 6600 free nokia theme, free nokia theme
Nokia 6600 / 7610 / 6630 Free Themes - Phoneyworld.com
Symbian Themes

Don't worry if your phone isn't listed, if it's a relatively recent Series 60 model, the themes will install and work just fine. All Series 60 Nokia models from the 6600 onwards support themes as a standard feature.

If you're a Sony Ericsson fan, some of the sites listed above also have sections for various Sony Ericsson models as well. I was never really a fan of Sony Ericsson (though they do make some outstanding phones) so I haven't really explored what can be downloaded for them.

Hope someone finds this information helpful. :-)

Is aspartame safe?

Image
Do you know what aspartame is? Well, even if you don't, given its ubiquitous nature, its a virtual certainty that you have already crossed paths with it in your life at one time or another. For the uninitiated, aspartame is a low-calorie sugar substitute most often used in carbonated beverages, you know, the diet or lite variety. Here in the Philippines, it is commonly known by the brand names NutraSweet and Equal . The reason why it has significantly fewer calories is because its not carbohydrate based. Its a methyl (methane derivative) ester (organic compound) dipeptide (two amino acids joined by a single peptide bond) consisting of aspartic acid as the first amino acid, and phenylalanine as the second. Its about 180 times sweeter than typical table sugar, and as such, a little goes a long way. A single pellet of Equal (18 mg of aspartame) has about the same sweetening strength as a teaspoon of ordinary white sugar (about 5 ml). Do the math. It was first discovered in 19

It's a device that is claimed to drastically reduce the fuel consumption of your gasoline driven vehicle by as much as 50%. It created such a hype when it was introduced in November 2003 after glowing reviews and endorsements from, among others, the Department of Energy (DOE), the Makati Land Transportation Office (LTO) and Taiwan’s Automotive Research and Testing Center. Even Malacañang got into the picture, and presented the inventor, Pablo Planas, with a Presidential Award Medal for Outstanding Invention. All in all, various government agencies and government officials got into the picture, singing the praises of a device that miraculously reduces fuel consumption by a significant margin. As a result, in less than a year, more than 3,500 units were sold and installed to customers who swear by the product's effe
