Yesterday I installed Richard Todd’s Jaiku midlet, which will allow me to Jaiku from my Communicator. The software itself is very plain, but it does the job. It’s easy and fast to use as well as soon as you get into it a bit.
The process was very straight forward and easy. I’ll go through it here step by step:
- Go here and download the Tar package (at the time of writing the version was 0.4.4.)
- Unpack the package to a folder on your computer
- Fire up PC Suite on your computer and set up the connection to your phone.
- Use Windows Explorer to transfer all the unpacked files (including the directories) to your Nokia 9300. (I moved them to my phone memory – should work fine with both.)
- Once you’ve completed the transfer, fire up File Manager on your Nokia (by default found under “Office”).
- Open the directory where you moved the unpacked files and fire up JaikuMIDlet.jar (second last file in the directory)
- Go through the installation process and make sure to allow the icon to be set up on your Desk or some other directories.
- Open Jaiku Posting Midlet on your phone and click on the “Menu”-button to access the menus. Set up your settings according to the Jaiku preferences and off you go!
