What's new in Nokia PC Suite 7.0.8.2 Update

The Nokia PC Suite 7.0.8.2 has just been made available. Nothing seems to have changed. Perhaps with the display of SMS on the front panel, you can now right click it to forward, reply etc to the sms rather than opening it first and then choosing to forward or reply. If anyone sees any other changes / updates, leave a comment here.

No changelog can be found online at the moment. It seems like it is to fix up some stability problems for example refreshing the Inbox on the communications center sometimes gives rise to the program crashing. That seems to have been fixed.

Gmail Mobile - Does it really "autorefresh"?

The newest release of GMAIL for Mobiles 1.50.1193, one of the features claims that it will automatically refresh your inbox. After searching high and low on the gmail application for my E65, I couldn't find such a feature. Then I checked Google mail's help center and found this:

Does the Gmail for mobile application support auto-refresh?

Your inbox will automatically refresh each time you send a message. If you'd like to refresh your inbox more frequently, you'll need to do it manually.

So technically, it doesn't support auto refresh as you may be imagining. Anyway, no harm done because you are only saving seconds by having to press refresh manually and gmail for mobile doesn't alert you when you have new mail anyway.

C the "Under-Rated" Delete Key

Short tip: Cancel. You never thought cancel could do so much but with the Nokia E65, this under-rated key has been given more power in the E65. Did you know that you can use the cancel key to:
  • Delete messages straight after you read them
  • Delete messages in the inbox
  • Uninstall an application from the application list
  • Delete files in the file manager
  • Close down a program that has hung
Another one keystroke saver for those that appreciate even the smallest shortcuts.
