.nbu files are the backup files created when you create the backup for your Nokia Mobile. It is created using Nokia PC Suite and later can be restored to your phone. Only problem is we can’t open the .nbu files without any Nokia device.
To overcome this problem we have one software called NOKI. From their site:
Noki is a utility to explore and extract Phone book, SMS, Calendar, Memo, Bookmark and other user files from the backup file of Nokia phone (using Nokia PC Suite).
Features:
Supports .nbu, .nfb and .nfc.
contacts.cdb: Symbian Contacts Database for all Symbian phones (include Nokia, Siemens, Sony Ericsson etc.).

It’s a given that anything that runs in RAM will be faster than an item that has to access the hard drive and virtual memory.
Rather than have the kernel that is the foundation of XP using the slower Paging Executive functions, use this hack to create and set the DisablePagingExecutive DWORD to a value of 1.
Perform this hack only if the system has 256MB or more of installed RAM! Edit the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\ Memory Management\DisablePagingExecutive to 1 to disable paging and have the kernel run in RAM (set the value to 0 to undo this hack).

************************************************** If you like to view your files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" view here is a tweak to speed up the listing of file attributes: Viewing files in Windows Explorer using the "Details" mode shows various attributes associated with each file shown. Some of these must be retrieved from the individual files when you click on the directory for viewing. For a directory with numerous and relatively large files (such as a folder in which one stores media, eg: *.mp3's, *.avi's etc.), Windows Explorer lags as it reads through each one. Here's how to disable viewing of unwanted attributes and speed up file browsing:
· Open Windows Explorer.
· Navigate to the folder which you wish to optimize.
· In "Details" mode right-click the bar at the top which displays the names of the attribute columns.
· Uncheck any that are unwanted/unneeded.
Explorer will apply your preferences immediately, and longs lists of unnecessary attributes will not be displayed. Likewise, one may choose to display any information which is regarded as needed, getting more out of Explorer. **************************************************

Facebook Chat is cool, at least it allows you to send instant messages to online Facebook contacts. However I’m not really a fan of the chat bar being at the bottom of the page, what if I’ve left Facebook but still wants to remain chatting with my Facebook contacts? If you are using Firefox, you can place the Facebook Chat at the sidebar.
Step 1
Look for Bookmarks on the top navigation. Select Organize Bookmarks…
Step 2
Click New Bookmark... tab and enter the following:

Jailbroken iPhone using previous firmware will not be able to update to OS 3.0 with out having proper jailbreak/unlock tools .iPhone 3G unlock tool yellosn0w now has been renamed to Ultrasn0w . iPhone dev team released a video confirming iPhone OS 3.0 unlock with Ultrasn0w and they will be releasing it the tool on this Friday. We need to jailbreak iPhone before unlocking with Ultrasn0w .iPhone dev team earlier said that they would release jailbreak tools after official iPhone 3.0 release. And as firmware 3.0 is already released ,we expect a compatible QuickPWN or Pwnagetool tools in 2-3 days . After jailbreaking iPhone OS 3.0 we will be able to unlock iPhone 3G with Ultrasn0w . Many developers had jailbroken iPhone 3G with OS 3.0 for installing unofficial app testing . But for unlocking we need to downloadyellowsn0w or Ultrasn0w which will be available tomorrow .
What is the difference between jailbreak and unlock :
There are so many unofficial test applications which are not available in iPhone app store and which are not supported on iPhone 3G . To unlock iPhone 3G we need to install unverified tools like Ultrasn0w .And for installing unofficial apps ,first we need to jailbreak iphone with QuickPWN or Pwnagetool . Unlocked iphone can be used with any carrier . Pwnagetool is Windows only ,QuickPWN 3.0 is available for Mac and Windows . We will soon post download links for QuickPwn 3.0 ,updated Pwnagetool 30 and Ultrasn0w. Jailbreaks use baseband weaknesses in iPhone 3G ,and Apple fixes corresponding issues after each update .Current version of QuickPwn and Pwnagetool were kept under secret to prevent apple from a releasing a fix in OS 3.0 final itself . So upcoming version of QuickPwn , Pwnagetool and Ultrasn0w will be capable of iPhone OS 3.0 unlock/jailbreak till the next apple fix .
iPhone dev team published a youtube video confirming iPhone 3G OS 3.0 unlock with Ultrasn0w. Check it out here .
iPhone dev team also expect jailbreak on newly launched iphone 3G S with new QuickPwn 3.0 and Ultrasn0w . iPhone 3GS also uses iPhone OS 3.0 . So it might possible to unlock iPhone 3G S with Ultrasn0w . But this is not confirmed as iPhone 3G S is expected to have new hardware .

Now as with most mobile hacks, this is limited to symbian mobiles which includes almost all Nokia Series60 and Many Sony Ericsson phones.
Why do I need this?
Yep. I felt the same long time back and also left the idea, but our reader Manish wanted to know this. And now I am done with this I am finding this quite useful. I need internet on mobile only to update themes, games and other stuff. Downloading themes, softwares and other stuff on PC and then sending them to mobile is one option but I always find its tedious.
This one is really better as its FREE and speed is much better than what GPRS ever offered!
How it will work?
We normally connect PC and Mobile for file transfer and data synchronization. One step ahead, we use GPRS on mobile to connect internet on PC side. All these means, two devices can connect to each other and share Internet. Only remaining possibility left to check was, can mobile dial/use/access internet on PC?
And here is the solution which will work for sure but may need some efforts…
Requirements…
A PC with internet connection. OS does not matter. Also it doesn’t matter how you connect to internet from PC.
A symbian handset with GnuBox - a free and open-source tool which will do thing on your handset.
mRouter to do things on PC side. Its optional but can save your lots of time. You can manually handle
Now first requirement is obvious, lets take care of the remaining too…
Preparing PC side…
#using mRouter (Windows only)
Windows user can download mRouter. Then install it on your PC and restart the machine.
Next you need to configure mRouter which is quick & easy. Tam Hanna explained it very well here.
#without mRouter
Now all major OS have internet connection sharing feature.
On windows, you need to add a new modem and attach it to COM port which is used fro Mobile-PC communication. As an example check this article for details on how to do it on Windows, Symbian Mobile & Bluetooth channel combo.
Covering all details of other OS is not possible here. Check tutorials section below for a matching reference.
