Slashdot Mirror

The exact formats of different messages can be found in the document stdma_sm.pdf which you can download from the nokia smart messaging page. To actually download anything you need to give them an e-mail address and click on a disclaimer, so I can't link directly to the file. There are also a lot of other very good documents on that page.

For the purpose of providing some sort of answer to your question, the thing that you are most likely to want to do is send names and numbers from your PC to your phone. The format used is basically equivalent to vCard with ASCII armor and some extra headers. Your business card messages will start with the header segment
//SCKLwwww23F4xxyyzz
where //SCKL signals the beginning of Smart Messaging data, wwww signals the origination port (doesn't matter what you use as long as it's a 4 digit hex number and it's the same for all parts of your message), 23F4 is the port on which the vCard receiver listens, xx is a reference number which must be common to all parts of your message, yy is the total number of parts in the message and zz is the sequence number.

As an example we'll say that you want to send to your phone a number for somone named AAA whose number is 1234567890. The vCard will look like this:
BEGIN:VCARD
N:AAA
TEL:1234567890
END:VCARD
This has to be converted to ASCIIhex to be sent to the phone, to the vCard data turns into:
424547494E3A56434152440D0A4E3A4141410D0A54454C3A31 3233343536373839300D0A454E443A56434152440D0A
Now we can split this into two separate SMS messages so that it can be sent to the phone. They're going to look like this:
//SCKL23F423F4990201 424547494E3A56434152440D0A4E3A4141410D0A54454C3A31
//SCKL23F423F4990202 3233343536373839300D0A454E443A56434152440D0A
Given this information it should be pretty trivial to write an application which sends this data to your phone's e-mail address, but I have yet to see a decent one for either Windows or Linux. Maybe I'll write one later if I get to feeling bored.

In other nifty fun with SMS you might want to look at the shell script I wrote which sends the subject and from lines of incoming e-mail to your phone via a web to SMS gateway.

I'm not sure how well I've answered the poster's question, but I hope that I've added a little bit of information that someone finds interesting.

After looking for ages for a shareware solution, i discovered that nokia released their own software (Nokia Mobile Internet kit) that i got online in OZ from dick smith for around A$60 - thats $30 for u americans - it is just software that you install via hotsync to your palm & it lets me mail, sms & surf the web from my palmIII via an infrared connection with a (Nokia of course) 6210 or 7110 (not sure what other models are supported - prolly 8810 is) - it is a lot better than trying to surf on a mobile phone screen via WAP and it does work on some non-infrared phones by buying a cable.
I got this a while ago when it was first released here so ive forgotten the exact details but all you need to know is up on the nokia web site www.nokia.com

Hope this helps - btw: it is a pain trying to type out mail on the palm, and it can make for a costly mobile phone bill as this connection is only 9600 bps & it can take a while if some1 has sent u mail with a large attachment

There is already a Nokia phone based on the Symbian OS: the Nokia Communicator.

The site was down when I was checking, so here is the Google Cache

Download and watch on your Home Cinema system, why all this talk about PCs?

Oh, and it runs Linux :D

Yeah, maybe we could put bits of xinu and qnx in there too, just to round it out a bit. And maybe some bits of OSX. Yeah, that would be really leet, dude! Now let's go haxor a gibson!

By the way, look at this phone.

1. I. 3D (good, current-generation)
2. 
   

   II. TV-out (RCA and/or S-video)

That's why you see tech sites talking about how to make your own TIVO-style device, or how to make a traveling MP3 jukebox, but none that mention 3D games. Only Nokia's planned Media Terminal is supposed to have both, and adding a VGA-to-RCA converter isn't cheap.

Think that Nvidia, ATI, or Matrox have this fixed? Nope.

At first glance, most of the /. minions out there will probably say "big deal". Well, smarty pants, I dare you. I dare all of you all. Find such a card. After much searching, it turns out that you can have either 3D or TV-out, but not both.

Any GeForce, Radeon, or G400 can pump out great 3D. Some -- but not all -- can be tweaked to output video to a standard TV using the Linux frame buffer...but in the process, you loose all 3D hardware acceleration.

Yow. Scratch 3D.

Enable 3D, and the TV-out ports aren't supported.

As for projects that are actively attempting to address the TV-out problem, they do exist. Sourceforge hosts a few, and Freshmeat has pointers to a few more. None have it licked, though. Most TV-out ports have some propriatory muck that makes supporting them difficult at best. If we're lucky, one of these companies will release a Macrovision-encrusted, binary-only, x86, version sometime in the next couple years.

How depressing...what was the story about the Zerox printer driver? How is it that 20+ years later, something so trivial is still a sticking point.

Seems to be what you want: runs epoc32 - the latest version of what runs on the psions. Now in colour. The symbian doodah.

check it here - nearly identical form factor to the 9000.

I own a 9110. The last of the non symbian breed.

Yes! I also have great hopes for the Nokia Communicator. It's a cellphone that splits in half lengthways to reveal a 4096 color screen on one half and what looks like a full keyboard on the other. It's supposed to be available (according to the web site) in North America by 2002.

Nokia 9110 is using GEOS, but the latest 9210 is using Symbian.

check out the Nokia Media Terminal

Q: How much will the Nokia Media Terminal cost and when will it be available?

The Nokia Media Terminal will be priced competitively. The first Nokia Media Terminals will be available in Sweden in the middle part of 2001 and later on in the year in Europe and North America.

I'm not sure this is what you are talking about, but Nokia is producing a "Media Terminal", based on Linux, Mozilla, etc.! You can buy it now in Sweden and it will be available later in the rest of the world...

They have teamed up with Loki to produce games for it!

They have a Developers Network

The imho coolest part is that it's totally open - both software and hardware! They have said that they are more interested in a small part of a large marked, than a huge part of a small marked!

Take a look here: Nokia's Media Terminal Site

From what I've heard from people that has tried it - IT IS REALLY COOL! - Among other things, they, of course, played a bit Quake3...

There's been no less than 5 Slashdot articles on this new box:
Nokia and Intel to make Linux-based Set-Top Box
Nokia and Loki Together on Linux Terminal
Nokia Media Terminal
Nokia's $400 Linux Terminal For The Masses
Nokia's Linux Based Xbox Competitor

It does lots of cool stuff: PVR (Personal Video Recorder, a la TiVo), MP3, web browsing, even games, and it'll probably be easily hackable too. It should be out sometime in the fall, and I'm really looking forward to it.

a) This would ruin the console business model.

and

b) That Linux would be too complicated for Grandma, etc.

These would both be true facts if Sony and AOL released a full-featured version of Linux, and I see no reason why they should.

Use Linux for its stability but custom design a simplified user interface to interact with grandma and little Billy. Look at the plans for the Linux-based Nokia Media Terminal for example.

Could hackers bypass the custom interface and do naughty things Sony doesn't want them to? (Like installing "free-as-in-beer" software?) Perhaps. But most people would be willing to pay for reasonably priced software that would extend the functionality of the device. I include myself in that number.

A simplified user interface. A strong Internet client (AOL/Netscape). A rock solid OS (Linux). I've been begging for a device like this for years.

Hipnerd

People have already proposed this in a number of ways. They also lump in digital cable/satellite decoding too, since that's just another type of MPEG2 feed to deal with. There was a discussion a while back on the hypothetical Borg Box. The ill-fated Indrema had all those capabilities and more. And the vaporous Nokia Media Terminal looks promising.

But in all these cases they were including hardware encoding/decoding for MPEG2, since that's the only appropriate codec for real-time encoding of high quality video, which costs buck$. A celeron 400 wouldn't be up to the job. This drives the cost well above $300, more than most people would be willing to pay for such a device. That's why Tivo is sold at a loss, which is made up by the subscription service. (I know, in the long run it costs more, but people are shortsighted when it comes to buying stuff and companies like to keep their hands in your pockets).

Even if you had a personal TV device that did everything tivo did, and were hooked up to a free TV listing service, you still have to get your TV from somewhere. The digital cable and satellite providers reeeeeeeeally don't want you copying and distributing their pristine feeds. Those satellites weren't cheap, and you're damn right they want their money, probably worse than most. If such devices did become available, we'd have a serious encryption war on our hands in no time, just like with DirecTV. Such a device would be unusable much of the time, which is hardly good enough for the casual user.

I think if TiVo got rid of the subscription model and went to a model fueled by hardware sales they'd have the best shot of becoming the ubiquitous device of this decade -- but with MS gunning at them and their continuing missteps, it's hard to see them becoming a widespread success. I'm still waiting to see what becomes of the vaporous but potential TiVo-killer Nokia Media Terminal. By the time these devices reach third generation, they'll be great--but I hate having to wait it out in the meantime!!

We'll be drinking out of our Gandalf slushy-cups and be playing Frodo 3d for OSX. Actually, I already bought the Bilbo Baggins front cover for my Nokia phone, and it plays the theme song for LOTR. Oh, and look at Liv Tyler in the 2002 Middle Earth pinup calendar. "Power can be found in the smallest of things"...

Running Linux?

Fully open platform?

I think you want the Nokia Media Terminal - which btw, isn't vapourware and is fully supported by one of the largest companies there is ...

This device will really appeal to the AOL crowd - nothing to think about except how to claim it on the expense report.

I myself would not use anything like this. I'm not thrilled about leaving pages I've visited lying around in the cache on some AT&T administered computers harddisk. In an airport no less - nice way for someone to read my e-mail if they can hack the thing. With this cool little gadget in my laptop and proper airport facilities, I can use my VPN connection to have secure access. This article explains even more of what I'd be willing to pay for - bandwidth, nothing more.

all in one combo phone/pager/laptop

There is. It's called the Nokia Communicator... Unfortunately, the latest version, the 9210, is not available in the U.S. I've heard Nokia decided that Americans were too enamored of the palm/pen style of UI to be very interested in mini-keyboard devices. :( I wish daily for one of these things...

FYI, if anyone from Nokia every reads this, I'm a keyboard kinda guy! :)

What you really want to get is a product which advertises and embraces its Linux heritage -- the Nokia Media Terminal. I have a TiVo btw & it rocks! Until one of these new PVR's is reviewed and claimed to work better, I'm not even going to bother. The TiVo works too well (and it's had plenty of time to work out all the bugs). It's cool to watch TV using Linux.

The specifications imply that the only thing needed to do this would be the software. It has support for myriad broadband connections and an RJ11 telephone jack. You can also bet that they will be hooking their smart phones up to this puppy.
"My works are like water. The works of the great masters is like wine, but everybody drinks water."

What's this DVB business? Reading the tech specs it keeps referring to the "DVB subsystem" and saying things like "Software: ...DVB System running on separate RTOS". There's also some stuff about content protection: "Secure mechanism, using triple DES". And, oh boy, "Macrovision 7 compliant"! Sounds to me like they're going to some trouble to keep the Linux hackers away from the fun parts.

From the Nokia site:

All Swedes visiting /. keep you eyes and ears open!

Go to the page referenced, there are 2 PDFs, one on the unit, the other on developing games on the unit. Looks cool, if it really does do everything (PVR, Loki, Linux, MP3s) I may have to get one.

I must admit to feeling quite optimistic about this whole thing, from reading the details on the Nokia site. They say they are planning to open the hardware specs, and I can't really see how they could be planning to prevent hacking if this is what they end up doing.

I posted a message here is response to the announcement of the Indrema console all those months ago, expressing my doubts about the future of the machine, but at they same time saying that if it did fail, I would make damn sure it was not because I did not support it. I tried to support it, but it failed anyway. I feel so much more optimistic about the Media Terminal. They have something that actaully looks like a working prototype, rather than just a mockup. They have actuall hardware specs which fit with the photographs of the back of the prototype. They have documentation for their IO API, and a developers site with real information on it. Most importantly of all perhaps they are a decent sized company with the technical and financial clout to build a machine that works.

I just can't wait to get my hands on one. Looking forward to having a WorldForge demo running on the beast before the end of the year.

The last paragraph highlights a comment from the president of Sega, Hideki Sato. The statment shows that the fault with their failure was not in the hardware or games, but in the lack of marketing. I have also seen other articles at The Register that confirm stories of arguing at executive levels. This bickering led to the lack of marketing, and hence the demise. And this demise is much to my dismay, as I am a avid Sega fan. NEED SOULCALIBUR! Any way...

Sega has done similar things in the past, as seen when they failed to market the Sega Nomad. The Nomad was essentially a portable Genesis, and it rocked. Information on it can be found here and here.

Sega has continually disappointed for years, making the same mistakes with several systems, including the Saturn, the Nomad, and the Dreamcast. I am at a loss for words at the mismanagement of this potentially groundbreaking company.

One thing I find interesting about this new console is the decision to use an 366 MHz Intel Celeron. I would assume that if Nokia wanted to really compete, they would use either a faster processor or at least the Pentium. I know that Linux would make excellent use of any CPU beyond a 486 (*grin*), but wouldn't the greater power be needed to compare to something like a 766Mhz Pentium 3? As Nokia has not released what kind of video processing/GPU/etc, we have little to compare to in the visual arena. Although looking good is not what determines how good a game is, it helps. So with what we currently know, I have some substantial doubts about this system.

The future remains uncertain....

I'm reading through a couple of articles that talk about this "MediaTerminal", and I fail to see how FT.com got the impression that it was a competitor vs. the Xbox.

According to Nokia's MediaTerminal website, it's basically a PVR with Internet Access. There is a link to the Game Development section, and the FAQ states that it will play "a wide variety of games". But, looking at the tech specs, this piece of machinery doesn't stand a chance against the Xbox. Celeron 366? 4MB Video RAM? Seems a little too underpowered to me.

btw. specs here (pdf format).

The
press release from Nokia themselves. I really hopes they come out with something good. Think about it if they let anyone play. This might make this the "next big thing" since anyone can use it and make games for it this will allow more games and with more games more people will be likely to buy.

A significant chunk of this functionality is implemented in the Nokia Media Terminal. It doesn't have some of the hardware (no tray for CDs/DVDs) but there are certainly enough interfaces that you could plug in your own...and if they really open-source the software, the sky is the limit from there.

Here in the UK, phone calls are never cheaper than text messages. we don't have to pay for text messages or WAP, because we've got companies like Genie Mobile that offer free and extremely reliable services. Most people use Nokia phones like this which have predictive text which means you only press one key for each letter you want. People can type on their phones without looking, and while doing other things, which also brings new problems such as people texting while driving.

Is the Nokia Bluetooth Battery that will allow the lowly 6200 series phones to be connected... We can only sit and wait...

Well, it isn't really a console, but Nokia is doing some pretty neat stuff with their Media Terminal which is based on Linux/Mozilla... http://www.nokia.com/multimedia/mediaterminal.html Playing Quake 3 with the remote was kind of wierd though :)

Anyway if you get bored with EPOC on your Psion, you could try Linux ;-)

Personally i dont know absolutely anything about commercial firewalls except some cheap soho fw's that ive tested but i remember reading just few days ago from /. comments that Nokia's Firewall-1 solutions are based on linux os and some hardware... This was mentioned in Nokia's mediaterminal thread.

Btw, i dont know if it's really known outside finland but Nokia started it's "Empire" in finland by manufacturing RUBBER BOOTS. I think they still do but businesses have been seperated to different companies ;)
--

Nokia needs game developers for the Media Terminal.

As I posted earlier, for Linux to benefit more people need to use it. This box is yet another option for to find a useful, widely popular application for Linux.

In other words, a reason for someone who isn't necessarily a "geek" to get a Linux box.

I linked this PDF because one way to promote the widespread use of the thing is to make games for it.

Worked fine for me. See 6210.
