Jumping To a Verse
- Using the Goto menu, you can quickly go to a verse. This program will accept string in the following format:
John (goto John 1:1)
John 3 (Goto John 3)
John 3 16 (Goto John 3 16)
You can use shorter book name as long as it is already unique (such as Joh for John but not Jo, as it will be interpreted as Joshua)
- If there is only one chapter in the book, the number after the book name will be considered to be verse number (e.g. 3 John 12 will be considered as 3 John 1:12)
PS: the book name for Goto operation is dependent to the bible language you use (e.g. for Indonesian bible you would use Yohanes or Yoh instead of John or Joh)
Navigating The Bible

- a book (using Book List menu)
- Next/Previous Book, Chapter, Line, Verse, Page

Obtaining Bible Files
SymbianBible uses the same bible files that are used by Bible+, no modification is needed to use the bible files. The Bible+ homepage has a link to available bibles on the internet, you can have a look at their bible page.
You can also convert the bible from unboundbible to PDB format using the instruction for converting bible files that has been provided by Nelson Neves.
NOTE: not all PDB files are bible files, and some PDB bible files are not compatible with palmbibleplus or S60bible. Copy bible files to phone/memory card
- Non latin text (except for Greek and Hebrew) is not supported. You can have multiple bible files on your phone.
Important note: You can not send the bible file to the phone Inbox, because of the security limitation. In E50, a file received in the Inbox can not be saved to somewhere else (I don't know if other phone models support saving the file to some folder)
You have some option to copy the bible files:
- Use a card reader, and copy the bible files to any folder you like (except in the "sys" or "private" folder, to be save, just save it to a folder named Bible).
- If you have a data cable, you can use the "data transfer" function and copy the bible files to any folder you like
- If you have a PC Suite (any connection method: cable, infrared, or bluetooth), you can use the "Nokia Phone Browser" and put the bible files anywhere you like
- If you have infrared connection, use the built-in "file manager" application, and choose: "Receive Via Infrared", then send the file to the phone.
- If you have a bluetooth connection, you must use an application that can "browse" the phone and upload the file to the phone.
