HowTo Set operator Logo In Nokia N70, N73 and most Nokia Phones

FExplorer is a very useful utility for both the advanced user and the novice. [I shall call FExplorer as FE here on.] FE is a smooth non-intrusive application for the Symbian S60 SmartPhones like the Nokia 6600, 6630 and the likes. FE has support to most of the Nokia Phones, and I would say most of the S60 series devices.

Released in 2003, FE has an ever growing number of users, which is evident form the 20Million+ visitors to their website. Authored by Dominique Hugo, FE is an amazing tool just like the Windows Explorer for the PC.

There are more utilities to the FE, but the first application is the Explorer capability. Usually the Nokia phones hide the drives that are not necessary to the novice end user. But there are a number of users who are curious and demanding (like me :p) that want to know every bit of information behind the gadget they use.

So here is the tool that will allow you to explore your Smart Phone to the deepest roots [though there are other tools to do much more digging]. Ideally this is a simple tool that should have been provided by the Phone manufacturer themselves, but they have deliberately avoided this tool, to keep some portions of the operating system from the end user.

FE helps you to explore each drive in your phone's memory, like the C:, D:, E:, etc, which is relative to your Smart Phone. More over FE has a built-in search tool, which comes in very handy to the demanding user. You can search with wildcard(*) and Boolean searches. So a relatively powerful fast search for your mobile.

You can use the FE to set the Operator Logo Image of your choice[leave me a message if you are interested to know how]. FE can be used to see how much space you have consumed in each drive. FE can keep track of your mobile Inbox, that means keeping the FE home screen open can help you keep track of many activities on your mobile.

Multiple file selection, multiple file deletion is all possible with FE, there are short cut keys to select, de-select and delete thus making your life easier with the Smart Phone.

One more nifty feature is, The Screen Shot / Screen Capture feature of the FExplorer. FE can take screen shot of your phone in its current state. That means, with a pre-assigned key you can change to a in-call, dialling, sms screen, or virtually any screen of the Smart Phone and take a Screen Shot to post on your MySpace, Facebook, Orkut, or Google Pages or even your own blog. With the help of FE you can make tutorials for people to understand what you are talking about.[Leave me a comment to know more about this utility].

FE can turn your screen light on, [keeping it on for a prolonged time - not a feature available on your mobile by default], FE can turn the infraRed communication ON, FE is fully configurable. Means you can set the color of text, screen color, background color etc.

Another good feature of FExplorer is the HEX editor, and the text editor, which are built-in features of the application. You do not need a separate text editor, though I would suggest a different reader for reading E-Books. I have read full Novels/Stories/Articles on Nokia Readers[ask me how].

Thus FE is a light weight, non-intrusive, cannot afford to miss utility for your Nokia Series S60 phones. I have been using System Explorer too, and find it equally good for some specific tasks[want to know more? ask me!]
