So you locked your MMC with a password and now you'e forgotten the password. Well, here's what you can do -
1. Download FExplorer from http://www.gosymbian.com
2. Goto c:\system with FExplorer. Find this file mmcstore
3. Choose Options>File>Text/Hex viewer
You will find your password in the end part of the sets of zeroes. If ur password for example is "synapse" then it will show in a format something like "000000synapse"
An alternate method is to download a program called MMCPwd. Google for it.

I happened to come across this site on google when I was searching for some new Symbian applications. Both these applications are written by the same developer - Marco Bellino and I must say they are *amazing*
What is more amazing is the fact that the developer offers these apps completely free of charge. If you want you can make a donation and enable some more features or simply use their free versions available for download from the developers site.
FlashSMS is the first Symbian Series 60 software able to send flash-sms without needing of any additional service. Nothing to
configure, just write your sms and select the recipient.
Guardian is the new antitheft system for Symbian Series 60 devices. Every time you switch on your mobile telephone, Guardian proceeds with
authentication of the inserted sim card; if authentication fails,
Guardian send a notification sms message to a previously set telephone
number. In addition, the system features remote control functions,
i.e. deleting your photographs/phone book/text messages/video/audio
data in case of loss or theft of your mobile phone (see Plugins section).
Click here to go to the site and download these great tools.

ZoneTag is a nifty application for Nokia series 60 phones. It allows for easy photo upload to Flickr and real time location tagging based on tower IDs.
When you upload your photo to Flickr through your mobile phone, ZoneTag is able to detect which cellular tower your phone is using to connect. Your service provider assigns a unique cell ID to that cellular tower. At this point, that’s all we know about your location. We don’t really know where the cellular tower is.

Tip 1 : Using the edit button (abc or pencil button)
Heres how… in the inbox for example; u wanna delete multiple sms, simply hold the edit button, scroll down, and then, press c to delete the marked sms. The edit button can also b used to copy and past text in sms, simply hold it and scroll across, choose copy.
Tip 2 : Formatting your phone after something f***s up
Press *#7370#, then enter the lock code, which is the sec code of the fone. NOTE: battery must be full, else if the format is disrupted by low batt, consequences could be deadly 
I’ve heard the code *#7780# works too, pretty much the same i think.

This trick is confirmed working in the Nokia 3650, Nokia Ngage, Nokia Ngage QD and the Nokia 6600. I don’t know about the other symbian models but this should work in them too. One thing I always hated about my Nokia 6600 was the fact that the inbox or the messaging took ages to open. This was very annoying until I found this tip. Follow closely 
- Goto Log
- Click on options and select settings
- Change log duration from the initial value to 1 day
That’s it! You will find a definite increase in the speed of your phone. For some reason changing the log duration to anything above 1 day slows it down. As your log gets cluttered it slows the phone down. It’s surprising what such a simple setting can accomplish. Offcourse a down side of this trick is that you will only be able to view a log of just one day
