How To Browse FREE On PC With MTN

1. Go to Opera website and download Opera 6. 5

2. Go to http:www. OperaMini. com and download Opera mini for your phone. 

3. Install PC suite for your phone in your PC. 

4. Configure your PC Suite with this setting: Username: web, Password: web, APN/Access Point: web. gprs. mtnnigeria. net. 

5. Configure your Opera Mini by going to Menu, Settings, Network, then scroll down to where you will see Opera IP, type: loaded. mtnonline. com@80. 232. 117. 10:80. Uncheck server error and save. 

6. For Opera 6. 5 homepage, type: loaded. mtnonline. com@proxy1. info

7. Lunch Internet from PC Suite and use Opera 6. 5 to browse. You can equally check other versions of Opera browser. 

ANOTHER WAY TO BROWSE ON YOUR PHONE FREE

1. Go to your phone Setting and locate Configuration. Check on Personal Configuration. Select MTN (if it’s there) or create New Profile by clicking Option.  

2. In the Account Name, type MTN WAP; Homepage, type hxxp: loaded. mtnonline. com@www. google. com/gwt/n  

3. After typing, click OK. Username is: web; Password: web.  

4. In the User Preferred Access Point, select NO. Access Point: click OK. Proxy: select Enable. Proxy Address: type 10. 199. 212. 2. Proxy Port: 8080.  

5. Data Barrier: select Packet Data. Then Barrier Setting: select OK. Access Point: type web. gprs. mtnnigeria. net and click OK. Network Type: select IPV4. Authentication: select NORMAL. Username: web and Password: web. 

Enjoy free browsing on your phone. 

NB: If you have credit in your phone, the browsing will gradually deplete it. So, make sure that you don’t have credit in your phone before browsing. 

However, I want to clarify some issues here, you must have your MTN sim card activated by typing: SETTING in your message box and send it to 3888 before you will be able to enjoying FREE browsing. 

When you receive the setting from MTN, save it by pressing YES, YES to each question being asked by your phone. Then you can now re-configure with the settings I made available on this forum. 

Equally to note is that Opera Mini is somehow SELECTIVE. It works on some phones. My friend who has Nokia 6185 couldn’t use it but one of my acquaintances who own the same phone is using Opera Mini perfectly. We have equally come to understand that Opera Mini or Solibay works well with N Series of Nokia (especially N72) and Sony Ericsson (P910i). These phones are Java activated. Once you install Solibay or Opera, they will start browsing without additional settings. 

Equally, you can use ZAIN for free browsing. If you have activated your Zain sim for GPRS, just go to SETTING, Configuration and remove WAP as Access Point (APN) and type: mms. ng. celtel. com. Then go to Proxy port and remove 9201 and type in 8080. Then install Opera Mini. You can browse free on your phone. 

There is another breakthrough with MTN which is as fast as Glo with Proxifier. You can use it on your laptop or desktop. I will get in touch with you guys soonest for it. AT THE AGENT OF CHANGE FORUM  www.theagentofchange-ng.com

Till then, enjoy FREE Browsing!!!

Here are the steps to take to doenload:

1. On your phone, click Tool and go to Application Manager.

2. Click on pre-installed Opera 2.06 by pressing Option.

3. Click on Suite setting

4. Read User Data-Ask everytime

5. Edit User data-Ask everytime.

6. Go to Download, when u click to download, you will see where to store your data.

7. Change the data storage to be in E.

8. If you are downloading from downloading from http://wap.cnet.com or any sites, insert your trick first before downloading sites e.g.: mtntrick@wap.cnet.com 

hxxp: loaded. mtnonline.com@google. com/gwt/n

hxxp: mtnloaded. mtnonline.com@obiejay. wap. biz {This one works for free alternative}

The Htc Touch Diamond Mobile Phone

Sunday, September 21st, 2008
opera browser
Mike Smith asked:


So let’s get down to business and find out what you exactly you get for your money. To start off you get and nice crisp VGA quality screen. From a connectivity point of view it has HSDPA, WI-FI and Bluetooth including A2DP so you can wirelessly stream music to any compatible device. In addition to that is has a 4GB memory and a 3.2 mega pixel camera on the back with the whole thing run on Windows 6.1 with the main browser been Opera. Some of the things that you don’t get with this phone are a flash for your camera, a 3.5mm headphone socket and there is no micro SD slot because they have done so much to cram everything into this handset to make it small that they could not find room to fit it in.

With the Wi -Fi and HSDA for connectivity, web browsing is the core of the phone. Instead of using the most well know and popular browser Internet Explorer they have taken a brave move to run Opera mobile instead. What this means for the user is that you get on the whole a much more intuitive and user friendly browser with most functions been performed with just one finger either sliding up and down the screen or a double tap to select the next link and load the page as well as the accelerometer can be used to rotate the page when the phone is turned on its side. Just like the browsers on your own PC there is a function for multiple tabs and even access to YouTube which seems to be a much have for any multimedia phone.

Getting your email is another effortless and pleasant experience with the HTC Touch Diamond mobile phones using the standard Microsoft Mail. You can change the setting so you get you email downloaded every 5 mins, uninterrupted so you can always check if you have got new email as soon as you take it out of your pocket and of course you can automatically send and receive your mail almost anywhere.

As mentioned before there are some downsides to the HTC Diamond Touch such as no flash for the camera, no 3.5mm headphone jack and no micro SD memory slot. It does however have some pretty impressive features such as a great interface when you are playing music which allows you to change tracks just by swishing up and down on the screen as well as quite a loud speaker for you when you are not using headphones.

The 3.2 mega pixel camera is easy and straight forward to use but as said before no flash, but this camera is much better than the iPhone.

Once pictures have been taken you swirl your finger around the screen one way to zoom in and another to zoom out again. Some of the other options are to create a slide show, attach it to an email, make it your home screen image plus a variety of other standard options.

There are one or two addictive games which make very good use of the very responsive accelerometer as well as options to download the weather for different local and world locations including the ability to request a 5 day forecast.

The HTC Touch Diamond is defiantly one of the main competitors to the Apple iPhone and you can find it at less than half the price and many instances for free on many major networks.

Nokia 5610 Xpressmusic: Pros & Cons

Saturday, January 19th, 2008
opera browser
Syed Naveed Hussain asked:


Nokia 5610 XpressMusic: Pros & Cons

Nokia XpressMusic is one of the most contending series Nokia ever came up with. The company’s idea of designing high quality music phones for music fans was yet a hard job. The company started up with two sliders Nokia 5200 XpressMusic and Nokia 5300 XpressMusic. Both the phones couldn’t mark their position in the market due to their ‘non-exclusive’ features, similar design and a bit high price. This was the first wave of XpressMusic series. About six months back, Nokia launched two new phones in the XpressMusic series; Nokia 5310 XpressMusic and Nokia 5610 XpressMusic. Nokia 5310 XpressMusic being a sleek monoblock made a proper place in the heart of the ladies & Nokia 5610 XpressMusic was yet another slider. You might be thinking about what’s the reason behind launching three sliders in one year from the same series. There is no actual mystery behind it else then this that the company wants to create such device which may look more like a portable music player. The difference Nokia made in the second wave is that the company replaced the white color from XpressMusic phones with Kelvin Black. This replacement added more sensational look to the 2nd wave.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is slider with a 3.2 megapixel camera. The phone has a rectangular design. There are no music keys on the side of the screen (which were previously used in Nokia 5300 XpressMusic). The top panel of the phone is made up of metal and the back housing is made up of plastic have a dotted texture. The sliding mechanism seems more strong and efficient than the previous XpressMusic sliders. The people who love music love this phone not only because of it design but for the major reason that this phone actually gave a ‘supreme standard’ to XpressMusic series. Nokia 5610 XpressMusic being ‘the king’ is powered by S40 3rd Version Firmware. The firmware is fast and efficient. The screen of the phone is a TFT which can display vibrant colors. On the right side of the phone, we have the camera and the volume keys (which can be used for zooming in the camera viewfinder). In spite of having so many good features, the users are experiencing some flaws in the phone. These flaws are quiet technical and practical as well. The ‘Cons’ are as under:

1· The phone sometimes behaves ‘dead’ when power saver and sleep mode is turned on simultaenously.

2· The music sliding key (which is placed above the soft keys) gets loose on continuous usage.

3· The front camera can only be used in the video calling mode.

4· The music quality in the headset is ‘treble influenced’.

5· The quality of the accessories doesn’t match with the phone.

6· The main camera has a dual OLED Flash, which behaves violently in the dark.

7· The phone captures the photo in at least 3.5 seconds.

8· No red-eye reduction mode.

9· The flash is turned off when the focus is set in the camera viewfinder. (Un-continuous flash)

10· On zooming the size of the photo is reduced (in-short the zooming and cropping of image takes place at the same time).

11· The screen catches finger-prints and dust very quickly.

12· The built-in Opera Mini browser works slow on the phone.

 

The above mentioned points are the problems faced by the costumers. The first point is an “interaction problem” the software mingles up with the hardware and as a result of it the consumers face this ‘sleeping problem’ with their Nokia 5610 XpressMusic phones. The company replaced the music keys with a music sliding key. This sliding key can be used to frequently interact with the music player, radio and the desktop even if you are in the main menu. On continuous use, this key becomes loose and begins to work improperly. The third point I mentioned above is about the front camera. Well the fact is that, 55 % of the costumers who spent 180-190 Euros on this phone don’t even know that it has two cameras and it can only be used when you make a video-call. The fourth point I mentioned above is something which I personally noticed, the sound quality is good but it has more treble. Even if you set the equalizer the sound will have that ‘treble tinge’ in it. The manufacturer has provided a dual-OLED flash to lighten up the 3.2 megapixel camera in the dark. In such light conditions where we really need a flash, the flash behaves too violently. The range of the flash is good but it would have been a better idea if the manufacturer had placed a single OLED flash in it. In dark close-up conditions, the captured image gets ‘totally white’. Another flaw, I mentioned above about the camera is that the phone takes at least 3.5 seconds in focusing, capturing and saving the image. The flash has two options (Automatic and On) but there is no difference whether you turn on the Automatic flash or you just set it to ‘On’. Although Nokia 5610 XpressMusic has a 3.2 megapixel camera but it has no Red-Eye Reduction mode. In the camera viewfinder, after focusing the flash is turned off immediately and on capturing the image the flash flashes twice which is actually a good option but it turn things ‘extremely white’. Another flaw, I stated above is one conventional problem of Nokia S40 phones, On zooming the picture size gets small. Nokia 5610 XpressMusic being the ‘leader’ of the S40 phones have the same flaw. The second last flaw is that the manufacturer has provided a ‘scratch-free’ cover of the display but it catches dust, stains and especially fingerprints very quickly. Sometimes, the users really need to clean-up the screen before ‘Turning into the groove’. The last flaw I personally observed is that the phone gets very slow while surfing the web using Opera Mini Browser.

Nokia 5610 XpressMusic is the most advanced S40 phones Nokia ever made. All the flaws I mentioned are based upon user reviews and my personal experiences. These flaws may vary in different regions and firmware editions. In few months, may be the company minimizes these flaws by installing a new firmware in the upcoming shipments.
