Every now and then, you come across a piece of software that blows your mind….almost like a lone dosco left in welham girls, all by himself…..thats what float’s mobile agent did to me last night! Available at fma’s sourceforge page the software lets you integrate your mobile phone (in this case a Sony Ericsson T610) with your computer…..and thats just the beginning….
i had tried downloading FMA last year….on de’s computer back in Diamond District…..and the only thing it did was crash his computer, at one stage not even allowing a normal boot up…but de being the guru that he is found a way around that…(and obviously refused to run the program ever again) …. extremely skeptical of burning my fingers again, i went by the promise on the site that a ’stable’ version was available for download….FMA 2.0 !
FMA is a free powerful phone editing tool allowing users to easily manage all of the personal data stored in their phones, using Bluetooth, IR or serial port. FMA allows easy management of Phonebook (both SIM and Phone memory), SMS, Profiles, and Files stored on the phone. This makes tranfering files between phone and computer extremely easy….including ringtones, themes, pictures and the like…
Now for the real stuff….FMA can also allow you to pickup and dial calls, send and view SMS, take photographs and get assorted information like battery life, battery temperature, phone temperature, view call logs etc…. directly from your PC. It could actually allow you to use your phone as a spy device….with it taking photographs and/or recording a conversation in the next room…..and this isn’t where it ends!
It allows your phone to become your mouse/controller to operate your PC…..so for example you can open iTunes or Winamp and switch to the song of your choice without even looking at your PC….much better than buggy symbian software like ControlFreak and Bemused….
Will get my hands on some higher end Sony Ericsson;s this week and hopefully get inquisitive with them too….i’m sure they’d be able to integrate perfectly with FMA….considering that the SE’s are more powerful than their nokia counterparts and more intelligent due to FMA….i’m questioning the need for a mid range nokia or a symbian phone….in anycase….i’m not in the phone market for the next couple of months…(reality check 
) but when i’m there….FMA will definitely get me to think in favour of SE! unless i head for overkill right to the palm 700W!
