Pocket Express now native S60
Published by Steve Litchfield at 22:34 UTC, February 15th 2008
Handmark were promising a native S60 version of their information portal app at last year's Smartphone Show. It seems it just went live, at least for UK users. It's a 2.4MB install though, and you need to surrender phone number and postcode info before it'll do anything. As with the original Java version, you get news, sport, dictionary, weather and finance stats for free, but you need to pay for mapping and travel help (via IntoMobile)

It works if you put in an Irish mobile number too! Now, it took its time updating the news after t&c then got an "application is busy" dialog box which I could do nothing about.. lasted for at least 5 minutes before I killed the process.
When I restarted the app though it worked fine.

So this app is like worldmate?
Im a bit worried about putting mobile numbers in, are there any charges to use the services (apart from data costs)?

Not true. It asks, but you can just press continue and skip that step.

I used Pocket Express, I think it's great. Better than worldmate, in terms of charges I don't get charged for anything and get tons of functionality out of it. I'd check it out.

Pocket Express movie listings and ticketing works really great, at least in the states where I am.
