WorldMate 2009 For Symbian is Available!

WorldMate 2009 for Symbian is a huge step forward for Symbian-equipped business travelers. It will make your Nokia or Samsung S60 phone your best friend while traveling, enabling you to make informed, real-time decisions, and put you ahead of other passengers in crisis situations like a delayed or missed flight. Whether you're using a Nokia E71, N95 or the touch-screen N97, it will turn your device into the ultimate travel companion.

The heart of the system is the new home screen or "Dashboard". It gives you some of the key info you need at a glance, including the current location, date, weather and the status of your upcoming flight(*)  . Using the carousel at the bottom of the screen you can reach all other services, including World Clocks, Currency Conversion and Currency Rates, real-time Flight Status(*), comprehensive worldwide Flight Schedules(*), and the Flight Alerts(*) service.

WorldMate is a free download, with many services provided for free, including worldwide weather forecasts, world clocks, a currency converter with an online rates update, and a day/night world map:

An extremely popular service is the Weathercaster. You can set it up to read you the weather forecast once or twice a day. Yes, we said "read". Weathercaster speaks out the weather forecast for you...

Professional travelers should go for the Gold-level subscription. For a few Euros a month, this will get you out of situations that would otherwise cost you a lot more time and money. 2 key services for travelers are the real-time Flight Status service and the Flight Alerts (tracking) service. These utilize a real-time status feed covering over 350 airlines worldwide, to tell you in real-time when a flight is delayed, canceled or diverted. Just put in your flight number and date, and the system will start tracking your flight:

Full flight information - terminal, gate, time and status are provided. In case of a change in the flight - delay, cancellation etc., your phone will alert you and provide the latest information:

I'm sure you'd agree this is critical information to get in such a situation. In some cases - it just means leaving for the airport later, or more time to spend in the lounge. But in others - it means you're stranded. How can you get back home? Or get to your meeting in time?

This is where the Flight Schedules service comes in handy. You see, it covers commercial flights for over 800 airlines, and provides both direct and connected flights. So wherever you are, and wherever you're going, it probably knows how to get you there. Just put in your origin, destination, and the time you want to leave, to get a list of alternatives. You can put in the city names, in which case you'll get all possible flights leaving or arriving into any airport in that metroplex. If you want to select a specific airport - put in the 3-letter airport code (e.g. LHR for London Heathrow).

What if you're meeting and greeting? That's when the Flight Status service comes in handy. Put in your peer's flight number and date, to get real time status.

Often when flights are delayed or canceled, it's due to severe weather conditions. Use the Weather Imagery service to view animated weather satellite imagery in the relevant areas - and find out in advance what's going on!

Hi, this is a great Service, but you must include my city which is Johannesburg- South Africa becauce, at the moment it only gives me London.

Please include Kazakhstan in country list, city Astana, Almaty, Aktau.

This is so useful but i can't check weather of my city(Hue city,Viet Nam).Would you add more cities of Viet Nam with this Worldmate?Thanks.

It would be complete if the flight schedule was integrated with the phone calendar, which is already included in the pocket PC version. also the travel packing function is also missing from the symbian version.

please include CHENNAI city in INDIA as i am forced to use Bangalore as my place...

Dear Worldmate,
I need to stop services of worldmate on my phone as i donot require it as of now. I will inform u veneva i need it but for the timebeing i need u to stop these services on my phone as it is an unnessasary expentiture for me now.

Thanks in advance

Please include Belo Horizonte city in Brazil city list.

Please include Belo Horizonte city in Brazil city list.

Very nice app, but way too few cities available in the weather forecast.

WHY DOESN'T ALICANTE APPEAR AS AN OPTIONAL CITY IN SPAIN??

why doesn't porto alegre in Brazil appear as an optional city ? Please, include.

When you next update please add the following cities in Zimbabwe:
Harare
Mutare
Masvingo
Gweru
Victoria Falls
Kariba
Beitbridge

Thanks

Yeah, the Application is superb! I will be most grateful if other States in Nigeria are added. Keep on doing the good work

Please include cities like Calicut, Kochi and Trivandrum of Kerala, India in the world mate

Please include weather forecast to Belo Horizonte (Brazil). Great Job!

When will Dutch St Maarten / French St Martin become available on this application?

i need weather

Hi,

I'am from Rostov-on Don, Russia
Can't find my city in the list

Sorry ,Iwant to un-supscrib to WorldMate

I wish to unsubscribe osamadgh@yahoo.com from WorldMate .

I cant see Zambia in on the list for countries

i love the site bu how do i go pro or gold.plz reply.am clement .E from nigeria.

What happened to the Weather Imagery service?
What's going on?

WorldMate 6.0 update screen says E90 compatible version of 2009 will be available soon. But almost a year later, WorldMate 2009 still isn't compatible with E90. Is it still planned or it has been dropped?

It's time, MobiMate! Time to make your WorldMate Pro for Symbian (and for iPhone, for those users) as good as the OLDER versions on OLDER platforms.

What do I mean? Only that there are features important to regular travellers (e.g., Packing List) that are present on my Palm version but ABSENT on the Symbian version.

WHY? Are people's memories IMPROVING with age? Or did the folks at MobiMate fail to put "Packing List" on their own Developer's "Packing List," so to speak? It's missing, and missed, and really needs to be restored.

I'm TRYING to move to a single Symbian device, but one of the last hold-ups (not the only one...) is WorldMate Pro. The absence of features has me lugging my Palm TX AND my Nokia E71. I'd sure like to shed the Palm, folks.

What's the chance of putting the missing features into the next point release of WorldMate for Symbian?

Thanks.

Need to be added Kazakhstan with cities and Air Astana as well, otherwise no reason to go for Gold account.

pls include ABUJA FEDERAL CAPITAL OF NIGERIA For weather Report

Handy little application. Please include Trinidad and Tobago (nice island) in your country list. There are other caribbean islands, so again, please include this one.

The WEATHERCASTER has an option MORNING REPORT SILENT, but even if i check that box it still reads out the morning report. Is this a bug? What do I need to do to keep the morning report silent?

i want a subscription activation code so that i can activate my phone

there is no Kazakhstan in program. If you gonna make new release, please include this country and cities such as Aktau, Atyrau, Aktobe, Almaty, Astana, Uralsk...please, try to include all cities in. there are not so many of them here...
and flights.. Air Astana Company please.
Thanks in advance.
regards

This application is worthless - until it can download my itineraries from WorldMate live, this is a complete waste of time.

I cannot believe that anybody with a Symbian phone would pay anything for this application.

If that one thing were fixed, I would pay up in a second.

HI;DEAR FRIENDS;
I'M FROM PERSIA(IRAN)& IN MY COUNTRY BANKING ANY INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT CARD SUCH AS MASTERCARD OR OTHER... ISNOT AVAILABLE.
HOWEVER I DONT HAVE ANY INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT CARD SO DO YOU HAVE ANY SOLOUTION TO PAY ANNUAL PAYMANT AND BUY YOUR SOFTWARE FOR EXAMPLE ACCOUNT NO OR ....
I AM WAITIN FOR YOUR APPLY.
BEST REGARD'S
SALOURKIA

The whole country of Armenia is missing. All the neighboring countries are there, but not Armenia. Please add.

it doesn't cover all domestic flights in India e.g. Indigo, spice, Kingfisher etc. If you can cover all these flights than I can go for GOLD.


Thanks
Praveen Gupta

Hi! I don´t understand if one has to pay anything for the information transmitted daily like weatherforecast for example? Who pays for the traffic?

Could you please add Kimberley (South Africa).

türk oldugum için anlamadım telefonuma kurdum duruyor yinede teşekür ederim

Cambié mi dispositivo celular, yo bajé respaldo que afirmo toda la información de celular la vieja. Cuando hice la activación con el código HGPWTHPIYLE, para los servicios del WordMate, tenía como vuelta el mensaje del error abajo descrito :

Mensagem de erro :
Este código de ativación no es válido para activar el producto. Por favor, póngase em contacto con el servicio de atención el cliente em este número : [ código de error 65540 2010_6_24209476 ].

deverian de incluir mas paises y estados de los mismos.

My country and city (Netherlands Antilles - Willemstad) are not included for weather nor flight information. So upgrading to Gold will not be useful for me.

Please include the Ukraine Donetsk for the world clock and the weather!!!!!!!!

Well, my migration from Palm to Symbian (and probably later to Android) proceeds apace, in spite of Mobimate. I went ahead and transferred my WorldMate Pro license from Palm to a Symbian Gold license. Thanks for that at least, Mobimate.

But, I must say that WorldMate Gold for Symbian is one of the most disappointing pieces of software I've ever seen. If the bar had not been set so high by PRIOR WorldMate releases, my interest in the product would have been nil, and my disappointment non-existent.

But, this is a truly unfortunate example of something gone badly wrong in marketing and programming. Do people actually spend money on this product? If so, WHY? It is such an unfunctional product as to really make me wonder what's going on.

Did Mobimate lose their obviously capable programmers? Or what? Even the features for which one must pay (e.g., airline schedules) don't have the former option of adding selected flights to one's itinerary.

I could go on, but I won't. It's telling that the email robot one gets when registering proudly points to THIS BLOG! That strikes me as less candid than disorganized and clueless.

My direct communications with Mobimate about the reduced functionality of their latest versions have been met with polite but unhelpful (i.e., "we took input from users", etc.) comment.

WorldMate was (and is on Palm, and I assume other devices) a grand utility. Worth subscribing to. That's changed, and the change appears to be permanent. Tell me it ain't so, Mobimate!

Thank WorldMate, am like

Greeting for Jakarta, to pleasant is my town input at worldmate, thank you....

il servizio che mi state offrendo é vergognoso!!!

é dal 26/7 che per problemi al telefonino ho dovuto formattare e da quel giorno non posso piu riattivare la versione gold da me regolarmente acquistata tramite la mia carta di credito con il mio telefonino...
vi ho contattato piu volte e fino ad ora ancora non siete stati capaci di riinviarmi il codice senza parlare dell'assoluto silenzio da voi perpetrato dal giorno 27/7!!!

Please include Chennai, India. Other wise you app is pretty much useless for me.

what about the charges per day

This looks very cool. I will ask my wife to try it out on her new Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic. I guess it will work on that one?! - Ray K. S.

HI,
I WANT TO CANCEL MY SUBSCRIPTION TO WORLD MATE. HOW TO DO? PLEASE ADVICE..

It would be nice if it was useful. For Brazil, only a few cities are available, therefore it's useless for me.

this is a totally awesome app for my SE Satio !
but not much use when you want to use it in India with only 4 cities to choose from.
can you add more Indian cities like Hyderabad.. at least the capitals of each state in India..??

Hi I live in Pietermaritzburg & the closes I can get the weather is Durban about 80km away.
How can I get Pmb's weather report?

I live in Benoni SA just luv receiving weather updates on my phone,the closest we get is Johannesburg, although we are situated between Jhb & Pta

Can you chennai city location at your software...

Я уже удалил эту Прогу ...не менялся город ...и я убрал её час назад

I use it for N95 8GB and love it. I have upgraded to N8 but failed to install it. Any release for nokia N8?

Hi,
New to Worldmate and I want to say that I find it to be a really cool app. It simply makes my Nokia n73 come alive.
A very helpful app. I'm using the 2009 version and I'm not having any issues with it.
Contemplating going Gold, but I would really appreciate it if Abuja (the capital city of Nigeria) is included in the list of Nigerian cities.

Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

Add Mexicali, Mexico.

Please

I am a new user. But when I want to check the world time, it indicated that it was 10.00am in Sibu, Malaysia here, but actually it was 2.00pm here. The rest of the world clock were also wrong!!! very confusing....

It is stupid application. This program don't have knowledge about big Russian cities. I can select Novosibirsk GMT+6h and Irkutsk GMT+8h, but can't select Krasnoyarsk GMT+7, it is missing! Were is GMT+7??? It's not for people. I deleted this application after 10 minutes - It can not be used for its intended purpose.
----
Тупое приложение. Список городов в России представлен десятком городов. Пропущены целые временные пояса, на пример отсутствует Красноярск GMT+7. Приложение не для людей. Для кого? Не знаю.

hi, im from Brunei but cannot find Brunei in the choices for the country, please acknowledge. Thank you.
