DROS (Use DOS like command shell) on Nokia mobile
phones
Ever wanted to have the good old fashioned DOS command like prompt
on your Nokia 9300i mobile?
Hopefully you do, just like I wanted. The DROS mobile phone
application written in MIDP, the install application is actually a
jar.
If you're a console (shell) freak like me you will certainly value
this handy app.
What makes things even better is that
DROS is able to run
simple BATCH files (e.g. has an embedded BASIC interpreter)
Some of the other many nice features that
DROS has embedded
in it are:
1. DROS contains a media player that can be used to play mp3
files
2. DROS have embedded command line FTP client
3. DROS includes a very basic file text editor
Using the DROS text editor you can write basic batch scripts and
execute them to automate stuff on your mobile.
DROS comes with a very good written documentation (MANUAL)
It somehow brings memories about the good old days of the 80s
command based computing, this kind of
"presence" fits very
well with the Nokia 9300i Communicator mobile :)
Some of the other Mobile phones which are supported by
DROS
are as follows:
Nokia 6630, Nokia 6670, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 9300,
Nokia 9500, Nokia N70, Nokia N80, Nokia N90, Nokia N91, Nokia
Series 60, Sony Ericsson P990

Installation of the program is very easy and comes to clicking over
on the java executable (jar file) using the Nokia's File
Manager.
