Nokia PC Suite 6.85
I’ve been using the new version of Nokia PC Suite with my E61i for sometime now, and I have to say that this is a tremendous usability upgrade from the earlier version. It finally supports true drag-and-drop functionality, allowing you to transfer files to your handheld unit and the application will automatically convert it to a format supported by your phone. No more converting digicam videos of your drunk friends or videoke sessions using a separate conversion program. Yeh! Might seem like a small thing, but this is definitely something that the average user will truly appreciate – I’m sure a lot of people never took the effort to search for a video converter and actually use them before.
Here are some screencaps:
This is the Main Menu. You’ll see the drag-and-drop menu on the upper left side, where a transfer progress bar will also appear when converting or uploading content. The application icons are still available on the main right screen. An SMS inbox snapshot is also accessible below the drag-and-drop menu.
When you drag-and-drop files to your unit – like homemade videos or music files, it will ask if you want to convert the file to a compatible format. There is an option to automatically convert next time, without having to ask first. And one of the highlights for me is that it supports conversion of WMV files – without a hitch! Yeh! And it doesn’t take half as long as the current converter I am using. Great great great!
From the settings menu, you can define your default conversion preferences. Like what I mentioned previously, you can set the application to automatically convert content when you drag-and-drop next time. You can control video and audio conversion, set the quality and file type, and location to save files in. Definitely makes the process of moving content to your phone hassle free.
Yeh! Nokia PC Suite Team!
