1. With 8hands Mobile you'll get updates and real time notifications from the blogs you read and your favorite social networks (Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter) straight to your mobile!

 

2. You can reply to the events you received from your other 8hands' friends directly from your mobile by texting them or even calling them directly with just one click.

 

3. 8hands’ smart algorithms know how to calculate the friends you interact with the most on your social networks and display a list of your top friends so you can easily contact them.

8hands Mobile will update you upon:

• New friend requests
• New photo comments
• New private messages
• New profile comments
• New posted items
• and more...

On startup, 8hands Mobile will display two questions. Here's why:

 

The first question will be: "Allow application to read data in Contacts?"

8hands needs your permission to access your contacts in your phonebook in order to allow you to call them directly from your 8hands Mobile. If you don't want to use this feature click "No", and if you (like us) thinks this feature is cool click "Yes".

 

The second question will be: "Allow network access?"

Here 8hands needs your permission to use the internet. Note that 8hands cannot run without having internet access. If you are having trouble setting up internet access on your phone, please consult your carrier’s customer service regarding how to enable internet access for Java applications.

Country code is the international prefix to be be used when dialing to a particular country from another country.

 

The Prefix code is the access code used to make a call within the country from one region/city to another.

 

To find your own code you can try using the list of country codes from the amazing Wikipedia

The default tab called The Latest (the one with the envelope icon at the top).

This is a list with all your latest events and notifications from your various social networks. you will notice each network's logo and the event type (private message, friend request etc.).

 

Switching to the second tab (with the arrows icon) reveals the Top friends tab - a list of your top 16 friends (the ones 8hands' smart algorithm detected you comunicate with the most). This list allows you to easily contact - message or call your best friends with just one click!

The little envelope icon means that you can reply to this event/user. At the moment, this feature is only enabled if the event is from a user who is also an 8hands member, but in the near future you will be able to reply back to your social network friends even if they don’t use 8hands (yet).

 

The little phone icon means that you have received an event from a user who is also running 8hands Mobile and that person already exists as a contact in your phonebook. 8hands will automatically detect it and allow you to call that person directly from 8hands Mobile, with one click!
