Nokia just launched a site emailwithease.com to help users setup email to go on their mobiles. The forum on this site is the place to go to if you’re looking for help on setting up emails on your mobile.

Twibble mobile is S60 application to send your tweets to Twitter. Tried it on my N82 and it works great – a small problem I had was that the screen scrolling was painfully slow – but I liked the way twibble allowed to switch between a data network and sms to send tweets. Twibble also allows you to tag your location to your tweet based on the in-built GPS unit on your phone. The location tagging feature is optional, so you can turn it off when you don’t want others to know your location.

Features of Twibble mobile include:

• post messages via your mobile network (WiFi, UMTS, GPRS), or using text messages (SMS).
• auto refresh: twibble can retrieve tweets automatically after a given time period.
• optimized to generate as little data traffic as possible. Only new tweets are fetched to reduce data traffic.
• integrated timeline: Tweets and direct messages are displayed in a single list sorted by date. There is no need to retrieve tweets and direct messages separatly, or to switch between various lists.
• open web links contained in a tweet (via phone browser).
• re-tweet (forward) of tweets.With a few clicks you can re-send a tweet you received without re-typing.
• quick @replies
• you can add friends
• mark tweets as favourites: Useful on the road when you want to mark a tweet for later reading.
• cancel network requests (twibble is multi threaded)

Finally a scrobbler for Symbian S60 phones – now you can scrobble what you listen to on your mobile to last.fm. To check if your phone is compatible, head over to a comprehensive list of S60 Phones. You don’t have to be online all the time for your tracks to be submitted to Last.fm. Mobbler will queue up the tracks you’ve played and will send all of them online as soon as you go online and connect to last.fm

Mobbler, Mobile Scrobbler, is a last.fm scrobbler that works with Nokia s60 third edition smartphones. It allows you to scrobble from the Nokia s60 Music Player, both whilst you listen to the tracks or whilst offline to be submitted later.

If you’d like to work on your favorite PHP apps on your S60 phones, here’s PAMP – Personal Apache, MySQL and PHP. This is implemented on the Symbian OS using Open C, which is a set of industry-standard POSIX and middleware C libraries for S60.

To install PAMP on your S60 mobile, you’ll have to make sure that your’s is a S60 3rd Edition device with 128MB RAM. Running MySQL itself requires 64MB. The Documentation over at Nokia’s opensource wiki states that this has officially been tested only on the N95 and E61i devices, but should work on any S60 3rd Edition device with 128MB RAM.

For instructions on how to install and setup PAMP on your mobile, head over to dev.mobi’s article which shows you how to install and get PAMP running on your Mobile and also how to make your mobile server accessible over wifi and the internet using Raccoon Gateway.
