Noki 2.1

Everywhere I look, everyone seems to be using a Nokia-developed mobile phone. And why shouldn’t they, since the Finnish multinational communications corporation comes up with properly good mobile devices? To help customers connect their mobile device to the computer, Nokia offers a software application called Nokia PC Suite.

The application comes in handy on several occasions. Want to transfer music from your Windows-powered computer to your Nokia handheld device, use Nokia PC Suite. Want to transfer the images you took with your Nokia device to your windows-powered computer, use Nokia PC Suite. Want to transfer applications back and forth between your computer and handheld device, use Nokia PC Suite as well. I think you get the picture. If you want to transfer data between your computer and Nokia device, use Nokia PC Suite.

Nokia PC Suite can also create backups of all the files stored on your mobile device. The bad news is that you cannot access these backup files unless you connect your Nokia device to your computer. What if you forgot your phone at the office, even worse, lost it?

The solution comes in the form of software application, the Han Zhao-developed and aptly named Noki. What this application does is allow you to view all the .nbu, .nfb, .nfc, .arc, or .cdb files created using Nokia PC Suite – as in the backup files created by Nokia PC Suite. From these backup files you can extract contact details, SMS and MMS messages, emails, calendar entries, memos, bookmarks, and other files.

Just like Nokia PC Suite, Noki works with the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system. IT works with all Windows versions, from Windows XP to Vista and the latest iteration, Windows 7.

If you need to easily and swiftly access backup files created with Nokia PC Suite, then Noki is the tool for you. It extracts everything from the backup files, from that funny video you shot to that important phone number you need.
