1. Answering Machine
2. Expenses
3. Games
4. True tones
5. 3D Tones

What's the best Answering Machine Software available 4 6600?

If there is, then where are they?
I've searched with Yahoo!, but you have to pay for all of them?

Thanx in Advance!

john74,you are banned for posting warez.

Burnok,consider this a warning.The next time i see a reference to warez in your posts you will be banned.

I understand this is your website and you will run it as you see fit but I have an issue with what you said. We all lose? Yeah right...

Did you hear about the laughable and ridiculous problems people that upgraded their phones are having with Psiloc in getting new license keys for apps? We are talking about honest customers here that have paid full price for their apps. Now Psiloc is not returning their emails and are not responding. They decided to screw their customers big time and not issue new license keys: "We got your money.... see 'ya!". What a joke!

Let me ask you this now: do you still wonder why 99% of people use cracked apps from irc and yahoo groups?

God forbid somebody should post a link to a warez site. Psiloc, on the other hand, screwing their customers is quite all right I guess?

Couldn't agree more with Arthur comment. I AM one of those customer who bought the software from PsiLoc, back since the day of 3650 (now I own 6600).

Since PsiLoc uses IMEI for their application's serial number, I would need to ask them for the new key. Now, it has been 3 WEEKS, 4 emails, and no response.

This is just an information that company like PsiLoc is what makes people use warez, not US!

First of all,this is not my website.Its Rafe's,i'm just a loyal member here.If you want to be a member of this community you will have to respect the rules,one of them is:No warez in any form.If you don't like it,feel free to leave.

Yes,in the end we all lose,do you think developers will stay in this business and write apps if no one buys them?

99% of the people use cracked applications?Where did that number come from?You can believe that if it makes it OK for you to use warez but you are wery mistaken.

About the Psiloc issue.Why don't you do something about it,make a petition,inform the community,believe me,i never heard of this before.There was a case with an application called HandyDay from Epocware.The users felt cheated so they decided to boycot Epocware and inform the community.I knew about this and i was up to date on the whole situation even if i didn't own an UIQ device.

Even if Psiloc were wrong,do other software companies have to suffer for their mistake?

Firstly, about companies:
Most of the companies in the world, when they start, they're the best with good support, good manners, etc...
But after they make a dollar or two, they forget where the dollars came from and that's when they become greedy and forget all about the customers, and that's hwen they start to rip-off their customers, and that's when customers feel cheated and that's when they prefer 100% working FREE Warez software.

Secondly, everybody prefers FREE to PAY! Right?
Specially when you get a fuull version app or game etc...

But overall, even if 70% of users (They're not that much!) use warez, they're still 30% paying for the software and they'll get the support for what they pay for!!
So nobody loses here guys!

And the looser, is the poor guy who pays epocwaare and the other sttpid company and gets ripped-off! He's the looser! Isn't he? He's lost his money, and wishes he used warez in the first place!
That's a 100% acceptable philosophy!

Sinox,

What you fail to recognize is that without Software developers like Epocware et al, warez wouldn't exist. Warez is the blatant and highly illegal theft of software that is supposed to be paid for, either shareware or payware.
These companies pay people to design, write and publish software. Would you spend 10 hours a day, 5 days a week programming and not expect to get paid ? I think not.
So these companies make a charge for their products, just like any other manufacturer in the world.

People who crack programs are usually sad, lonely little individuals, shut away in their dark, dingy bedrooms, who have nothing better to do than crack software, attemt to write "that killer virus" , chat up underage boys and girls in seedy chat rooms, post vitriolic posts on movie web sites, moderate forums on cracking and "illegal" stuff coz they think it gives them some sort of power and they still live with mommy coz they secretly fantasize about her !!

Sorry if I went overboard there, but these people are nothing less than common criminals who deserve the same punishment as people who rob banks, convenience stores and old ladies in the street. They're gutless wimps and collectively they are doing the industry untold harm. They're scum and I wouldn't P1SS on them if they were on fire !

If you have a job, next time you go to work, imagine doing your job and not getting paid for it coz someone else is producing/selling it for free.

I do agree tho' that there are companies out there who blatantly rip off their clients in their attempt to gain bigger profits (Hey, if Bush can do it....).
So, you don't buy stuff from them. If we all did that, they couldn't make any money and would either back down or go out of business. Positive, non-violent protest.

And check out the hundreds of Freeware apps out there, written by dedicated individuals who are generous enough to write this stuff and make it available to all of us. This software is the ONLY software u can get 4 free and do no harm to the hard working programmers, who run the risk of not being able to provide food for their families coz the company they work for can no longer pay them coz idiots like you use warez.

Now THAT , my friend, is 100% acceptable REALITY

lovesign, I couldn't agree more with your post. What these idiots also fail to take into account is the tiny amount of money they are being asked to pay. I've looked at a lot of Symbian apps, and the average price seems to be about �10-�15 per app. Many are lower than this.

I can understand people being reluctant (or unable) to pay for PC/Mac software from Adobe, Macromedia etc, as these tend to cost hundreds. But come on people - we are only talking about a few quid for a Symbian app! Considering the time and effort that goes into programming these apps, this is a very small price to pay.

Let me ask those people who come on these forums looking for warez - would you bother to embark on a commercial endeavour if you thought everyone was going to use your services without paying for them? I certainly wouldn't! So what incentive do you think Symbian developers will have for carrying on if nobody pays them? None! There will be no more apps (and therefore no more of your precious warez!)

How can anybody say that nobody loses when people steal software? That level of ignorance is astounding! Support Symbian developers by paying their modest fees if you want them to continue to develop for this platform.

😊

- You can believe that if it makes it OK for you to use warez but you are wery mistaken.

I never said I used warez.

What I am saying is that Psiloc (not an isolated incident) and others screwing their customers big time doesn't help the cause, does it?

Psiloc have not responded to numerous emails that were sent to them. Their attitude is: "we got your money, go to hell". Go ask people that have spent their hard earned money how they feel about this situation.

- About the Psiloc issue.Why don't you do something about it,make a petition,inform the community

People that got screwed ARE doing someting about it: they are downloading cracked apps. Until customer service from these joke so-called legitimate companies improves downloading of warez will go on.

People will think twice next time they want to purchase apps. They got screwed once, why should they get screwed again?

I guess it's illegal for some 17 year old to download warez but it's ok for Psiloc to steal your money and run away?

About the Psiloc peitition, I have started a thread on this and hopefully people take notice and start emailing PsiLoc en masse. But to tell you the truth, the chances PsiLoc will do anything is quite slim, and they can always screw another NEW customer.

About the "think twice" on purchasing apps, I kinda agree on this one. I am also a software developer and I am for sure will be angry if someone cracked my software. But we have always tried to provide the best support and my company DO invest in Customer Service Dept. so that we can "hear" the customer. However, this will not stop people for cracking software. This is just like trying to stop people from stealing car anymore.

Alas, people who got "burned" buying software from a crappy company will turn to warez. Supply and demand, no?

I have never heard of any problems with PSILOC.

Where are all these ripped off and irate customers ?

I think this is in your imagination ? 😃 😃

I am one of them. See the other thread which I just started about PsiLoc problem. Also, search on the net / other forum and you'll find many people who have the same problem with PsiLoc.

This is not in my imagination. Try getting a new licence key from PSILOC when you upgrade your phone buddy! Good luck!

Chceck your facts before posting ignorant comments.

There is NO NEED for VERBAL ABUSE !!

I have checked my facts, and done a Google search which has revealed nothing 😃

So far we only have 2 people complaining of allegedly not receiving keys, or replies to email from PSILOC.

I checked your American 'howardforums' link, and found only 2 people complaining on a new post only 2 days old, yet again 😃

Maybe this is the same 2 people that posted on this site ? 😃

You need to try a lot harder to convince me that because 2 people have issues, that the whole world should Pirate the software from PSILOC !

You are making ASSUMPTION that only 2 people having this problem. Do you know for fact that there is REALLY only 2 people?

As for me, I spoke with people from different forums, using emails, in IRC, and people whom I know use Symbian phone, so I can ascertain that there are.. wait, let me count... 8 people that I know of having this issue.

Also, there could be people who have problem with PsiLoc but they do NOT know that forums such as this one exist. For example, people who is not technically literate as us may not know that there are such things as FORUMS. Heck, I know some people still ask me how to REBOOT a hang PC (Ctrl-Alt-Del) when I do support calls!

My point is that the problem is creeping up, and to check if this is a KNOWN issue or just me, I started a SEPARATE thread about PsiLoc not responding to email.

This is what i can DO for NOW, but certainly I don't go around saying that this is an isolated incidents and the affected people is "imagining thing", especially without proof!!

sinox,poor people?Poor people that can afford a 6600?

Like i said,there are other ways to solve your problem then promoting warez.

BTW:The petition about Epocware's HandyDay did something.The users did get what they asked for.

That's why I am hoping more people will respond to my Psiloc thread. But alas, it seems that there are not many people using the software.

Ghostdog,

Coming to think of it i guess we're poor people that can't afford a 6600?
Does asking numerous questions about something, mean that you can't reach that thing, whatever it is, in this case a 6600?
You N-Gage is good for you and i hope you buy hundreds of them and keep on playing!
And I'm not promoting warez! I suggest for u not being just a good and respected moderator, but reading posts, and not searching for keywords you'd like to ban!
And i'd suggest those guys that couldn't control their tongues to put a peg on them, because talking about reasons of a problem, really guys, doesn't mean you're an idiot!!
And if I wanted to use warez, i wouldn't be coming to such a forum to talk about it, because there's nothing to talk about in WAREZ, we all know it's illegal.
As i was saying, if i wanted to use warez i would've just gone and used it, no need to talk about it! Right??😱

I don't know why some people an't ccontrol there speech, just because they can't get the guy and baash him up, because of his speech, doesn't mean they have tto be rude.
Foul language is something that should be more effectively be banned in parallel with the so called hot subject of discussion and prosecution "WAREZ"!

Ghostdog,

This is poor sinox writing,

YEs, if att the end the companies selling software without support and rip-off solve their issues with their customers, i think we'll all be happy!

Let's just agree that a maximum of 14-15 USD is what you expect to pay for lunch out! So it's nothing cmparing tto prices we pay for other major software!

Therefore, if companies providing software to consumers, do whaat they're supposed to do, everybody will be happy, both the company (They're getting their money, FULL!), and the customers (They're getting their software and the promised support!).
🙄

sinox,i really don't get your point.john74 was banned because he had a warez URL in his signature and i only warned Burnok not to give hints to people,nothing else.If you have a problem with my moderating style you can contact Rafe,the website owner.This is a part of your post:

and that's when customers feel cheated and that's when they prefer 100% working FREE Warez software.

Secondly, everybody prefers FREE to PAY! Right?
Specially when you get a fuull version app or game etc...

So,according to you,warez is the best thing since sliced bread?BTW:Warez/Cracked apps are not exactly save to use,their code is modified and its not exactly rare when a device is damaged by a cracked application.Free to Pay?Free of course,but Freeware,not Warez.

Ghostdog is absolutely right on this issue. You don't have to agree with the forum policy you just have to agree to stick to it while posting here.

I agree the siutaion with PsiLoc is unfortunate and I, if asked, recommend that developers avoid using IMEI based protection.

However people should bear in mind that the companies concerned are not obliged to give you a new code when you get a new phone. Some developers explicitly say they will, and of course we all expect them too. But it is not a right that we have. When you buy a liscense you buy it for the instance on the phone you currently have. I expect most people here keep or give to a family of friend their old Symbian phone - theoretically before asking for a new code you should expunge the program from your own phone (and I know people who do this and some who don't). Nearly all Symbian software is on a per instance basis... Perhaps we should be more grateful to developers who do provide new codes when you upgrade your phone.

However also think about other similiar situations... I had considerably effort involved in transferring a friends liscense for XP and Office to a new machine because of product activation.

A small update on the PsiLoc situation:

UPDATE

Finally, PsiLoc has responded to my email today. They have given me all the correct serial number for the applications.

Those who did not receive response in the past, please try to email them again.

Thanks!
