The XBMC S60 Remote v2 did not support the Nokia E71: first of all, the resolution was incorrect (320 x 240 px) and the system-call which should select the internet access or default access point fails due to incompatibilty issues.
I corrected these few errors and the application works fine for me now. But, just let me say something about Python: it is pretty shitty. I thought Perl is “wrong”, but it is quite awesome in comparision to Python. Please, do not let me ever work with that crap again!
HOW TO INSTALL
