Both posts report that 159 different Symbian models have been shipped ?compared to just a handful from RIM and one from Apple?. But is that really good news for Symbian?

Despite maintaining the market share leadership, Nokia is no longer the object of desire for Smartphone users. iPhone is. Blackberry Bold is too. Nokia might have not lost the lead in market share yet, but they sure have in user?s mindshare.

I tend see the glass half empty for Nokia?s OS.

By utilizing FaceBook?s FindMe client the user can complete control everything their friens see, ?Playing Soccer?, ?Office?, ?At Home? ?Surfing? ?Walking the Dog? and the like. They can also ass information such as post codes and zip codes so FindMe can show your friends a map of how to get to your location.

The FaceBook FindMe application also has a ?Go Dark? option which hides you from your friends so they don?t know where you are.

If you are one of the Symbian S60 smartphone savvy and want the FaceBook FindMe application just hit on the ?Get Mobile Client? link once you?ve added the FindMe to your personal FaceBook account, and you?re on your way.

Here is the solution:

1. point your device to the ?Application Manager? and open it
2. click the left soft key to open the options menu
3. from the list choose the point ?Settings?
4. switch the option ?Software Installation? to ?All?
5. switch the option ?Online certif. check? to ?Off?

Pretty easy, wasn?t it? Additionally I have to tell you some little things about executing these instructions.

First you have to remember that certificates for applications are there for security reasons. If ?Signed only? is choosen you can just install applications that have trusted certificates, that can only be obtained by enterprises. If Software installation is set to ?All? you can also install self signed applications. That means, that the software author created the certificate by himself.

Secondly you have to know, that certificates are not the most important point when it comes to security. Once you installed an application, you may have noticed that you were warned against some features of the phone that will be used by the application. They are called capabilities and can be allowed or denied during the installation. So be careful which capabilities you allow for an application, because some of them can lead to costs or damage your system.
