Not New But Still: Yahoo! Go 3.0 for Nokia E61i
OK, let me start off with saying that this is by no means something new. I actually wrote this blog post in March but never got around to post.
However, in all fairness to those of you who are die hard Yahoo! fans and don't already know this - Yahoo! Go 3.0 now supports Nokia E61i, among other Eseries devices.
As I have posted previously - I'm not a big fan of Yahoo!'s monolithic approach to mobile applications. There Yahoo! Go application provides access to every possible Yahoo! branded service.
However, this comes at a high price. I still find that the application is slower than molasses. The application feels sluggish and bloated. I'll gladly use separate applications if the speed could be greatly improved.
It's interesting that while Google is taking the complete opposite approach to mobile applications with separete applications for maps, email etc. Yahoo! is bundling everything together…
While not a redeeming quality, I have to admit that the UI of the application is one of the more beautiful interfaces I have seen. All icons and transitions are stunningly beautiful. Kudos to the talented designers at Yahoo!
Verdict: Even the most beautiful user interface compensates for a sluggish and bloated client.
To download Yahoo! Go 3.0 go to http://get.go.yahoo.com on your mobile browser.

Hi Star,
They are on this blog. Search for “e65″ or “plum” and you will find them. Or just look through the archives
Cheers

I have tried downloading this application but it always fail on installation. The notice was read “certificate error”. Can you help me please? Sine I have already remove the previous version Beta 2.0 and I fail to download the old one.
Thanks a lot!

Hi Syai,
That is a common error which is easily fixed. Set your application manager to “accept all”. If you don’t know how to do this search on the blog (box in top left corner) Search for certificate error.
