Free Nokia 5800 Applications & Games

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Nokia Releases free nokia 5800 touch phone applications and touch phone games!!!
Quickoffice and Touch Piano were selected as the hottest free Nokia 5800 applications and hottest free Nokia 5800 games for May, 2009!

 News flying around the world at the moment is about Nokia giving us some free stuff. That’s right free, we [...]

15. Fring

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

The first of several 5800-optimised VoIP and chat clients, Fring scores by also including Skype integration, something which other clients omit. The guys at Fring also seem incredibly keen at getting onboard with the very latest handsets and they deserve support, if only for that.

14. MDictionary

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

With the Nokia 5800 now sporting its own dictionary application in its firmware, complete with language options, MDictionary isn’t such an essential download as it was… but it’s Open Source and for that worthy reason I’m going to give it a plug here. Language pair options are currently a bit limited, but the project deserves [...]

13. JoikuSpot Light

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Perhaps a pinnacle of modern software engineering, JoikuSpot turns your S60 phone and its data connection into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot for other devices (of yours) to hook into. The premium version has loads more functions and security, but for cheap, cheerful and ad-hoc use, the free ‘Light’ version does very well, letting you surf [...]

12. BBC iPlayer

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

For UK residents only, of course, and almost certainly only really practical while in Wi-Fi range, this presents the best of the BBC’s TV output in very high quality, in streaming form. There are hundreds of programmes on offer, mostly from the last few weeks, plus a number of radio programmes as well, better for [...]

11. France 24 Mobile

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Full credit to France 24, the TV/media company, for putting out their content for free on all mobile platforms. And no, don’t worry, you don’t have to speak French. There’s general news, business, culture and weather content here, in pre-edited (but regularly updated) 10 minute segments, all in either French, English or Arabic, plus a [...]

10. PhotoFlow Image Album

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Perhaps less of a fully featured application than a technology demo, PhotoFlow still impresses for the speed and smoothness of its photo zooming. If you’re sitting next to an Apple iPhone user and if you’re a bit embarrassed by the slow speed of the photo browsing and zooming experience in the standard S60 Gallery application, [...]

09. wireless keyboard

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

Although this hasn’t been fully updated officially yet for S60 5th Edition and thus shouldn’t qualify for this list as not being optimised, I couldn’t resist adding the necessary install for driving a Bluetooth wireless keyboard. With this onboard, you can treat your S60 full-screen touch phone as a mini-laptop and the solution works rather [...]

08. Files on Ovi

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

A terrific way to keep your important desktop folders automatically backed up and to have remote access to your master documents through the phone, Files on Ovi is fully compatible with the 5800 XpressMusic and S60 5th Edition – its just that Nokia doesn’t make it easy… See below the pic.

Although you can simply access [...]

07. Paint Pad

Wednesday, October 28th, 2009

A rewritten version (allegedly) of a Forum Nokia source example, Paint Pad does a good job of standing on its own two feet, with proper load/save/background/send options, plus many more painting tools. It’s the paint utility that Nokia forgot to add!

Get it from here.
