Idea: Live notes application

I write myself little notes all the time on my E61. The problem is viewing them in a more organized fashion. I would like to search, sort by date and even attach a sound bite to my notes.

Most of all I want my notes to be synced somewhere online so I can view them on a larger screen and write myself little reminders while in front of a PC.

How difficult would it be to create this?

Do any of you guys use the "notes" feature of S60 as much as I do? Have you found a better third party solution?

    Ya, I use it a lot too. I find it to be such a basic program that Nokia probably spent 5 minutes making. -_-” I’d like it to change too, just like how Calculator (with S40 calc being more advanced), Clock, Log, and many built in applications should be improved.

    i havent found anything better but Nokia is improving the built in apps esp in FP2….. so things r moving slowly but steadily in the right direction….

    Use Remote S60 Professional so u can use the phone from the pc using the keyboard esp good for sms & notes…. only games dont run well due to display problems…..

    p.s. im using a N70 so im not sure if this problem has been fixed for S60 3rd edition…….

    You can sync the notes on your phone with Outlook on your computer. It’s not online but it’s an easy way to get them onto a PC for better organization/editing.

    I believe (not 100% on this) that Lifeblog can grab your notes and sound clips, and that organizes them by date.

  • Henrikki

    I can confirm that Lifeblog organizes your notes and voice clips in chronological order.

    What’s more important is that you can “tag” (sort of) your notes as well. You start your note with a word like “Nokia” and you can find all the notes including the word Nokia with Lifeblog’s search which is very handy and fast to use.
