As you probably realized there wereproblems with our servers. We had to do a major upgrade and that’s why it tookus so long (and even longer than intended). We apologize for any inconvenience.

Right now the forum is still down since thedatabase has not yet been moved to the new server.  We will do this within the next three days.

Thank you for the patience.

 IMPORTANT: The problem with the UID error has been solved.

When you Open Sign mShell 2.02 you get some capabilities that are not available with the self signed (standard) version. In this post I'll show you how to do this.

1. If you have an previous version installed on you phone. Uninstall it first.
   
2. Download mShell 2.02 or higher from here.
3. Go to the Open Signed web site: https://www.symbiansigned.com/app/page/public/openSignedOnline.do
4. On that site enter the IMEI of your phone. For the IMEI type on your phone: *#06#
5. Enter a valid email.
6. Select the mShell SIS file that you want to sign: mShell-S60-3rd-OS.sis for Nokia and mShell-UIQ3-OS.sis for UIQ phones.
7. Select all capabilities.
8. Enter the verification code and accept the agreement.
9. Now you will recieve a confirmation email, click the link and soon after that you'll recieve a second email with a download link. Download it.
10. Install the signed mShell SIS file on your phone.
11. (Optional) Register your copy of mShell.
    

Just unpacked a N95 8GB that was standing around. Before I used the "normal" N95 so there are only a few minor differences but they are pretty cool:

• Bigger Screen, but same resolution :-(
• Bigger Mem, 8GB, just like the iPhone
• Faster Cam, Probably because it can write faster to the memory, because it is built in.
• No SD card slot, how cool would it be if you could put 2 additional GB in, just like the iPhone.
  
• Full Spiderman 3 Movie pre installed. I somehow missed it and then was quite surprised to find it on the phone, the quality is awesome too.

Unpacking this beauty, little fat though.

mShell on N95 8GB

mShell works perfectly fine just like on the N95, but there's a bug with mVNC because of the bigger screen, the bottom part of the picture is kinda streched (see picture). I hope to get the GPS NMI working soon so that we can use this awesome built in capability. There are some cool apps out there like RotateMe or the Light Sabor that use the accelometer sensor, which detects motion of the phone. We hope to release an NMI for that soon too!

Anyhow, I'd say the N95 8GB is one of the coolest phones out there right now: Many sensors, good cam, great screen, etc.
