Although we are phone freak creatures, the PhoneReport CNM team also deserves some rest.
We will be back next year by the 10th, equipped with latest news, more home made videos and a new laptop to post news on.
I hope you enjoyed this year’s news, it was a definite exciting year for the phone industry, all the releases and future announcements, and there will be more next year if God wills.
Eid Mubarak, Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year for everyone!

I’ve been thinking of a logo for PhoneReport and I’m just out of creativity, not that I know much of flash anyway. I came up with a simple logo, but of course I will replace the phones with new stylish ones:

You might have seen here that Channels Media Service by Nokia Labs supports auto rotation 4 ways in N95s and other phones, but here is the official description of the application:

Through Channels, international and local branded publishers provide daily news, sports and entertainment optimized for mobile. You may access your favorite publications via WiFi or GSM, and read either online or offline.

Channels is the new version of the existing Kanavat service that has been piloted in Finland since late 2005. This new international service provides significant improvements to the user interface, makes the content catalogue global and adds on pleasant advertising experience - so that you can enjoy the service for FREE.

The service is very easy to take into use. No registration needed.

Nokia PC Phone is an experimental service that gives you a possibility to use your mobile phone with your Web Browser.

You can call, text and manage contacts from your phone.

You can communicate by using Nokia PC Phone with your friends and family even though they don’t have the Nokia PC Phone themselves. Your friends are not able to tell the difference whether you are using the Nokia PC Phone or not, because your calls and text messages are actually made from your own Nokia phone.

The layout at Symbian Signed has changed a bit, if you want the same old signing link, just press Open Signed, but here’s an explanation from the website itself:

• Open Signed, has updated and replaced Developer Certificate signing, making it easy for developers to sign applications for limited deployment to known devices, either for testing or for personal use. The online-only option is coming soon.
• Express Signed, a new option similar to Self Certification, is available to all developers, either directly (for those who own a Publisher ID), or via publisher partners (for those who do not).
• Certified Signed, has updated and replaced the mainstream signing option based on independent testing by a Symbian accredited Test House.
• TCTrustCenter, www.trustcenter.de/order/publisherid/dev, is the Certificate Authority for Symbian Signed, responsible for issuing and validating Publisher ID digital certificates (but existing ACS Publisher Certificates issued by VeriSign will remain valid for Open Signed and Certified Signed).

And there is also a sign on mobile system:

What’s New( V1.01):
1.Auto change language
2.Save paths is available

2.run it,press ok button,select sis file.
3.select *.key & *.cer.( v1.01 has supported enter of password.)
4.sign it.(the signed file will be named as *.sisX,and sisx is the same folder as sis)
5.done
enjoy signing on your phone without computer Some Problems may be meet with while using:
1.Only support DSA signature ,& RSA signature is unavailable.
2.The formats of cer & key must be the PEM base64.
3.Once occured error when browsing files.
4.The app wouldn’t check the cer,thus you should make sure that it’s correct.
5.If it says "KErrArgument(-6)",please check whether the password is right or not.

I heard it can extend signature to 20 years!
