How to: Torrent for Symbian made Simply
June 5, 2007
After a little digging I came up with two different clients that caught my interest. WizBit and SymTorrent.
WizBit is a BitTorrent client for Smartphones written by David Hulbert for his final year project at Exeter University. Eventhough the project isn’t yet complete, David does offer an alpha version for conceptual purposes, which doesn’t download files yet but is able to connect to a tracker and retrieve a list of peers from it. This software will according to my opinion have the best functionality in it’s class, when all the ideas listed on the dev-log are implemented. I’m looking forward to testing the final version around the announced date, 7 of July!
SymTorrent on the other hand is a fully functional and freely available alternative that’s distributed under the GNU GP-License! Now to 3 easy steps on how to download torrents on your symbian device!

May 4, 2007
Rumor is phones built in Finland have greater build quality than those built elsewhere. You can find out where your Nokia phone was made by looking at the IMEI-code.
