One of S60’s best kept secrets, AccuWeather was always a useful little widget to have installed.

QuickOffice is a free office offering for Nokia 5800!!!
It may seem a little odd to see Quickoffice in a list of freeware and, it’s true, I’m cheating slightly. But by default, Quickoffice’s document viewers aren’t in the 5800 XpressMusic’s ROM. Instead, they’re a free addition, giving you Word, Excel and Powerpoint viewing with full touchscreen [...]
