"Sony Style" font

You may recall that we learned how to change the font on the P1i (and other UIQ phones) by duplicating the font files on the M2 card.

Well, this post on Esato has a link to download a Sony Ericsson style font that looks great, as you can see in the picture.

You'll need to rename the files to:

Sans-Serif_Latin-Regular.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-Bold.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-Italic.ttf
Sans-Serif_Latin-BoldItalic.ttf

Then drop them into \Resource\Fonts on the memory stick. Enjoy!

New Google Maps available

A new UIQ specific version of Google Maps is avaialable. Get it by browsing to www.google.com/gmm on your phone.
It's pretty neat, scrolling and zooming around the map using the touchscreen works very well, and if you don't have a GPS, it will actually locate you to within a couple of kilometres by triangualting your position from cellphone masts! Very clever.
