Jul 04, 2008 View Comments by Meraj Chhaya

Every problem has a solution! This universal truth is applicable in every situation, if you’re really serious about it, there is a way. So the same applies to all your mobile needs, most of all and the best at all its s60 that make things possible, and more practicable. Whenever I get fuzzed about something related to my phone, sooner or later usually I find a way with a 3rd party application or some other trick. So in this post I’ll point out such an issue I had to overcome and some of you too might have come across it.
Surfing the web on my mobile to keep in touch with my favourite blogs, was a real headache for me, as I was facing the following 3 problems on my N80ie,

1.My N80ie has Wi-Fi but I don’t have a Wireless Router .
2.GPRS charges of my network provider are not at an affordable range.
3.Even though if somehow I manage to get theGPRS(or Wi-Fi),after going through few pages, I’m ended up with memory full error.

So I was wondering about finding a way to get through this and ultimately the solution itself was within the s60.This is why you should choose s60, there are so many options to customize and adapt things in ways that fits you. So this is a quick guide to prepare your device to keep in touch with your daily blogroll, without Wi-Fi or any data charges, now collect all your ingredients and it’s time to make a cake.

You will need,

1.Mobireader installed on your phone.
2.Mobireader PC client.
3.Inbuilt bluetooth/Bluetooth dongle or a USB data cable.

Initially you have to connect your Nokia phone to your PC via PC suite using Bluetooth or USB data cable and launch the Mobipocket Reader on your PC, at this instance the reader will detect your device and add it to your devices.You might be prompted some dialog boxes and this has to be done only once.
After that start your browser and go to your favourite blog or site,Grab the RSS feed URL, and copy it into the clipboard. Then go to Mobipocket reader PC client again and in the main window,under Bookshelf select eNews.Then from the top set of icons select Add eNews>Add a Feed.You will see that in the text box the URL you copied to the Clipboard appears if not just paste it,then finish it.So in little while you’ll see all the RSS feed of your desired sites are automatically retrieved in the right side pane.That’s it,the initial one time setup is over and,


As the third step,when ever you want to sync your PC feeds with the Device, all you have to do is connect your phone via PC suite and Start the the mobireader. Job done and all your favourite RSS feeds will appear on MobiReader in your device, with full length articles and Pictures.

As an easy extention you can try this too,
Install BTSwitch on your mobile and when you need to sync press BTSwitch on the device,Switch Bluetooth on in your PC ,Start MobiPocket Reader.So in three easy steps your mobile will be Updated.

Advantages of this method,

1.You can carry all your recent fav blog posts with you,wherever you go.
2.Its useable when there is no WLAN or GPRS
3.No memory full errors.

So if you are a person who is facing the same problem I had, then why not give a try with this?hope to hear your feedback,and please let me know if you have any questions.
