Olive Tree Bible Software adds new Symbian developer

Matthew, are you a Christian blogger?

I too use Olive Tree – I’m glad they have the new S60 developer onboard. Having a graphic in place would be great, instead of the S60 default, too. On all phones I’ve ever used, the icon graphic never shows.

Matt, I asked you this in email but this would be a great chance to ask you publicly: if you had to choose one S60 bible reader, which would it be especially if cost wasn’t a factor?

It’s heartening to see religious users of the S60 community who don’t fear mentioning it.. The Symbian-Guru and dotsix too. I belonged to an otherwise great Linux community where I felt welcomed and respected until it was ‘discovered’ that I was religious. After that, I was just ‘tolerated’. I always found that somewhat common in ‘techy’ circles.

Brad, I can tell you it is probably because of the stereotype of religious conservatives not being well versed in the ways of tech. Fortunately, you have those like Obama, who are Christian, and also familiar with tech. Hopefully they overshadow the stereotype creators of old.

I myself am atheist, however, it is good to see things like this on S60

do you have any links for Bible software and the Nokia N97 please?

I use the Nokia N97 but I cannot find no bible software working oon it. Can someone help me to find the Bible to install on my N97 I have installed the S60 bible but when I open it I got a message ‘Bible not found in’. Please help

Julien, Have you downloaded a Bible database as well? You need both the S60 Bible program, and a Bible datafile (KJV, ASV, or whatever).

Download the Bible datafile and save it in a directory e:/Bible on your phone. You can get Bibles from http://palmbibleplus.sourceforge.net/bibles.htm

Restart S60 then select – Options-Bibles-Update Bible List.

Cheers.

Hi, i’ve tried everything, still can’t find the correct bible software for n97

Thanks Paul, This helped a lot.

HELP!!! Hi guys, I’ve downloaded and been using the S60 Bible software on my N97, but I’m not entierly happy with the program. I’m missing the search function. The search always comes up blank on the S60 Bible software. Why is it so difficult to find a good fully functional program for my N97?

@Julien and Hemmy, For your S60 bible, you have to update first the bibles. Look in the menu option and choose bible then select “update bibles”. After that you can just touch your phone screen (if not, you have to go again to bible option and choose “select bible”). I hope it helps.
