Turn The S60 UI Into The iPhone With MyPhone


If for some reason or other you want to make your Nokia N82's S60 user interface look like the Apple iPhone's interface, it's now possible with MyPhone developed by immmooo.

MyPhone is a native S60 application which upon launched covers up the standard S60 standby screen. It basically sits on top of it and acts as your application launcher. Pretty much every aspect of your phone can be accessed through the MyPhone interface. Check out the screenshots below..









Features:

  • 1. [new] Real worldwide weather on hand
  • 2. [new] RSS reader inside the app, accessing feeds even more friendly & easy
  • 3. [new] Improved MyApp section, support 3rd part apps and bookmarks
  • 4. [new] Improved make call interface
  • 5. [new] Improved Sliding effect of menu
  • 6. Fully emulates i-Phone UI
  • 7. Rearrange every single icon as your will
  • 8. Fully functional, all operations can be done via MyPhone
  • 9. You can switch i-Phone UI into S60 UI and the other way round seamlessly.

Video Demonstration...



Instead of touching the screen to select an icon, the 12 keys on the number pad of the N82 act as shortcuts to each button, similar to the S60 menu. The RSS reader is quite slick, as is the Weather App. It makes you why a Weather App like this hasn't already been created for S60.

Now you'd might say "Mike - Why the hell would I want to make my beautiful N82 look like an iPhone?". Well that's a good question. I've gotten plenty of emails from people asking if there is a iPhone emulator for S60 because they love the simplicity. And then there are others who just want to show off to their iPhone friends that our phones can have it both ways - simple and smart!

You can trial the MyPhone application for S60 and if you like it buy it from The N82 Blog Store for $14.99. Update: No Trial Available - I'm looking into this.
