To all my Readers we wish you a very prosperous Ramadan .
To make the most of the blessings of this month , Nokia has again introduced their Nokia Ramadan Suite of Applications , however unlike last year when every S60v3 phone could benefit from them , Nokia has limited the phones that can avail these applications to
- Nokia N97
- Nokia N86
- Nokia E75
- Nokia E66
- Nokia 7210
- Nokia 6730c
- Nokia 6720c
- Nokia 6303
- Nokia 6300
- Nokia 6120c
- Nokia 5800XpressMusic
- Nokia 5130
The Holy Quran - Where you can read , search any Surah or word , Bookmark your last position , Listen to the Recitations and even to remember any Surah can put it in repeat mode
Prayer Timings : a very handy tool for those travelling or in need of correct Prayer timings as per their location . The applications makes use of GPS where available to pinpoint QIbla and update NAmaz timings or where GPS not available , NAmaz Timings can be set as per location and QIbla can be located by pointing the onscreen compass towards North . The application for Asr Rimings use different settings from Al-Azhar Settings to Karachi University settings and also offers a number of Adhan options from Makkah , Medina and Egypt . You can also set the phone to go into Silent mode or any predetmined mode during Namaz timings so you may not get disturbed
Hadeeth : covering the saying of Prophet Mohammad PBUH - and has the following books , Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Riyad us-Saliheen, Holy Hadeeths and Arba’in An Nawawi - The only drawback it’s in Arabic - Nokia should have an English version available for non-Arabic Users
Zakat Calculator - Every well to do Muslim is bound to pay 2.5 % of their wealth to the poor as Zakat and Nokia makes it easier or them to calculate the amount , I haven’t had the chance to use it as yet , will write about it later
Mozakkar or Azkar is the supplications covering the whole day with recitations and can be shared through SMS and MMS
Cards : Share the love of Ramadan with MMS and Nokia is there to help , with Cards application , you can eaily send the Ramadan , Eid and other occasion cards to your love ones , no need to look for cards in the market and posting them through snail mail when you have a whole load in your pocket
Hajj and Umrah : not a Ramadan application but people do go for Umrah in Ramadan - it covers the Holiest Sites for Muslims in multimedia , and even GPS locations to places to visit when in Makkah and Medina - a must have for those travelling for Umrah .
Here’s the applications running on Nokia N97
Last Year 2.4 million times these applications were downloaded and due to overwhelming response Nokia has re-launched the suite for 2009 , coming to commercial side , these applications had proved to be a great phone pusher with people going for the phones offering these applications during Ramadan and that’s the reason , the applications available through OVI Store only are device specific .
For those who want these applications but don’t have the phones on which they are available for free , can go to ASGATECHshop.com and purchase them from there .
Wishing you all a prosperous Ramadan
