Nokia Device Status 1.1 beta

What can I say? A troubleshooting godsend, Nokia Device Status gives us never-before seen info and details about our device, all in an easy to use interface.

I know, this sounds like an advertisement, and I apologise, but the app is really worth praising.

This software is a two-piece bundle. First you install it on the PC. After that, you connect the phone (via PC Suite) and it uploads the install kit to your phone. Install it on the phone too, run it once and that's it. All done.
I had no trouble with the installation. As you can see from the screens below, the level of detail about firmware, device model, various settings and running applications is astounding. You can refresh the info any time.




On the PC, you get essentially the same info about the phone. The neat thing is, you also get detailed info about your PC specs, so finding out exactly why the phone and the PC aren't compatible should now be a breeze. Also, in the lower left corner, there's a nifty thing that you can drag onto an email or any text field and it instantly transfers the info there.



To quote Tommi at blogs.s60.com, "Technically it's quite mature, but as a concept still under development. Right now, the development team is evaluating different options how to make it useful for mainstream users, and how to integrate it effectively with customer care systems."
