0.6.99 Symbian Smart Installer build with bundled Qt Mobility
As promised, here is a symbian build of 0.6.99 with the Nokia smart installer and Qt Mobility 1.0.0 bundled. It will automatically install all the dependencies for you when necessary.
WordPress_0.6.99_selfsigned_installer_with_mobility.sis
It is a bigger file, and much slower to install than the regular version, so it’s not recommended for people who already have Qt and Qt Mobility installed.
futubanister, and 4 others are discussing.

We found out via first-hand experience that the versions are not compatible. Wanting to get the bundled build out as soon as possible, we stuck with 1.0.0 for the time being.
Now that the reason for the breakage is clear, we will certainly link the next build against 1.0.1. Thanks for the pointer!

Also I think you can take advantage of this http://www.forum.nokia.com/Devices/Remote_device_access/

Here’s a post I just uploaded with the app: http://jfmanzo.wordpress.com/2010/07/04/mobile-blogging-with-a-dedicated-wordpress-app-for-people-like-me/. I am using an N97 Mini and this is my first spin with any mobile WordPress app aside from a terrible time I had on my iPod Touch with one. I am quite happy with what I can do with this one, and installation was as much of a delightful breeze as it is with almost all the Symbian apps I’ve ever used.
A couple of annoyances: One is that I can’t enter capital letter that aren’t at the beginning of sentences. Every time I type “I” I had to first enter a lower-case character (obvious choice was “i”) and only then would the upper case show up subsequently. So I was typing in “iI” for every case of “I” not at the beginning of a sentence. Same with names- it wouldn’t let me type “Nokia” (I had to to “nNokia”) but had no problem with “iPhone.” As well, at the beginning of a new paragraph caps were not recognized either- and yes this was holding down the shift key.
The software only recognized predictive text, with no way to turn it off, at least not while using the physical keyboard.
I don’t understand how to enter links- highlighting text is impossible (maybe with a stylus it would be easier) but even when I managed to, going down to “add link” didn’t work (with or without highlighted text) because I couldn’t type- it only allowed me to enter the alternate characters on my keyboard. Closing the phone to use the alphanumeric didn’t word; keypad would not pop up.
All that said I think this is a great utility and I look forward to improvements and using it all the time. Thanks!

Thank you John for the good comments!
We’re currently in process of refactoring the editor areas a bit – our current approach is a bit too fragile. The next build (that we proudly call 0.7.0) will make significant different in text inputs — and hopefully some of the weird behaviours will get fixed.

Thank YOU!
Today, for some reason, all the caps issues have disappeared, which is great, hope it stays this way. i still cannot figure out how to enter links- after I manage to highlight text, I click in the link button and up pops a window with two parts: Name and Address. I cannot enter text in these; as I noted above, it’s as if the keyboard is stuck on alt characters and all I can enter is numbers and symbols. I also don’t undertand what “name” is supposed to mean.

I really like this wordpress app, and looking forward to use it. I have a n97 and still have problems with uploading pictures. When I press the add picture buttons I got an error saying “full memory” or the app just close?!?! Anyone who can help me? should I installed the program in the phone memory??
