S60 Apps
I have had my Nokia E51 for over a year now and I have not destroyed it which is almost a record for me. The E51 runs S60 feature pack 1 which allows me to load up applications I find on the net to expand the phones capabilities. Over the last year I have found a handful of apps which are quite handy. Below is a list:
Google Maps (Free)
Every S60 page on the net will at some point point you to the download of Google maps. With the recent addition of street view I have to admit it is pretty awesome.
ColbySMS (Free)
I am on a prepaid account which means my text messages cost 25c each. I have recently installed ColbySMS and now I have a simple text messaging program that can utilise MyNetFone, Clickatel, Pennytel of Exetel SMS. I have accounts with all bar Exetel which allows me to send messages from 5c.
Slick (Free)
I have tried quite a few IM clients on my E51. I have found this one the best for me.
Shazam ID (Free)
I first found out about this app from watch iPhone ad’s on TV. I was happy to find I could get it on my Nokia. Not sure if this one is 100% legit but I was able to install it once I changed the date in my phone back to 2008 due to a certificate error… If you don’t know, this app can name songs by listening to a 10 second snippet.
Opera Mini (Free)
I run this web browser along side the factory one. I flip back and forwards between the two. It is free and worth the download.
Gravity (Trial, Paid)
Twibble used to be my S60 app of choice but now I have Gravity. It is VERY fast to load and it is pretty. Good way to keep up to date with everyone on twitter.
YouTube (Free)
Google finally updated the app to version 2. Version 1 crashed my phone all the time but I am happy to say V2 is excellent. It streams the videos nice and quickly and is very stable. Visit youtube.com in the phone browser and you will be redirected to download it.
ShoZu (Free)
ShoZu allows you to interact with Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and other web sites. I use it to upload pictures taken from my phone to Facebook while I am out with friends.
