Hi guys,

recently just purchased my W550i, Its a stark notch higher than any nokia phones and i think im going to be loving it. The InfraRed is cool and i remember seeing my friends turn off and on a tv with his P900i IR Remote software

Question : WHere can i download / install this IR remote software on my phone? It makes use of Infra-red to turn on and off television.

Thanks do reply soon.

You can't since there is no access to IR (through APIs) as with smartphones... , so no software exists cause the IR can't be controlled "programatically"

the range of the ir in candybars phones is only about 2 inches, so pretty useless as a remote anyway.

Be handy if you have a phone with good ir range and smartphone os.
