S80Bible is a bible reader for devices (mobile phones) that uses Symbian OS Series 80 (it should work with Nokia Communicator 9300, Nokia 9300i, and Nokia 9500. It will also work on 9200 or 9210). If you have Series 60 Device (such as Nokia 3650, Nokia 3660, Nokia 6600, Siemens SX 1, Nokia N-Gage, etc), you should check out S60Bible (I am still working to merge the source code and the web site for both programs. The file access engine is ported from the well known bible reader for Palm: Bible+ , so you can use many bible files that are already available for the Bible+ (the current version of this program only supports latin text, Hebrew, and Greek, non latin text such as Chinesse, Japanese is not supported).

Obtaining Bible Files

S60Bible uses the same bible files that are used by Bible+, no modification needed to the bible file. The Bible+ homepage has a link to available bibles on the internet, you can have a look at their bible page.

You can also convert the bible from unboundbible to PDB format using the instruction for converting bible files that has been provided by Nelson Neves. These instrutions are somewhat complicated but at least they work and you can choose from about 43 languages to create your Bible.
