By on November 7, 2011 in,Three years back, I wrote a similar post enlisting. However smartphone and apps scenario has changed drastically since then; very few Symbian apps have stood to the challenges of time and still deserve to be categorized as “must-have”. Most others have either lost to competition or disappeared completely (abandoned by developers). Here I have compiled a list of 30+ must-have Symbian apps of 2011 – especially for Symbian^3 (Anna, Belle) phones. These apps relate to many different categories including Mobile browsers, Social networking, entertainment, utilities, system tools etc. Note that the apps have been arranged randomly in the list and numbering does not indicate any order of importance –1.
Opera Mini and Opera Mobile – Indispensable is the word for these two apps – hats off to Opera for making such wonderful mobile browsers. In contrast to Android phones which have plenty of excellent web browsers, Symbian users have only these two siblings that can be called as top-notch; must-have for every Symbian user. Download free from m.opera.com2.
FMobi – Facebook is an addiction now and one need to have a capable client to enjoy it fully on mobile. Thanks to its developers fMobi is the best facebook app you can get for your Symbian phone. Beautiful UI, plethora of options, nothing comes close to fMobi – the celebrated Android FB clients feel ugly and unusable against it. Symbian users may feel proud that fMobi is available for Symbian only (as of now!). Search and download from Nokia (Ovi) Store or from 4shared.com3. MSDict viewer and dictionaries – MSDict viewer (and related dictionaries) is an app that I think every Symbian user requires in his/her day to day life. There are many different dictionaries available for the app – Oxford Medical, Oxford English, Collin’s English, Oxford Business etc.
Download from.4. JoikuSpot – I just love this app! It turns my N8 into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Thus I can use phone’s GPRS/3G connection to surf internet on other WLAN enabled devices – like laptop, desktop or even mobiles.
Joikuspot makes it damn easy – just launch the app, confirm the prompt and wait for Joikuspot to create a data connection. Now switch on the Wi-Fi in other device. A new connection (with the name “xxx-Joikuspot-xxx” or something like that) will be shown in available network connection list, connect to it and start surfing. No complex settings or configurations required! Search and download from Nokia Store or 4shared.com5.
Screen Snap – It’s a small app to take photos of phone’s screen (screenshots). Very handy to take snaps for my tutorial posts. Download free from.6. Camera Pro – Extend the capabilities of your phone’s camera with this powerful app. Camera Pro provides many advanced options that the default camera app lacks like – settings to get high quality pictures, continuous autofocus option during video recording, HD video recording at 30fps option, video and audio codec (3gp, MP4, AMR, MP3) and bit-rate control options etc. Download from or 4shared.com7.

It is a powerful (and beautiful) audio player having plenty of options and customizations. Search and download at n8fanclub.com or 4shared.com10. Smart Office (Picselsoft) – If you are a pro/student then this app is for you. After using it, I promise you will not use the inbuilt QuickOffice app. Smart Office is more powerful, faster, and easier to use app having much more options than any other app in its class (it even has a PDF reader function!). Search and download from 4shared or N8Fanclub11.

YouTube – The official YouTube app for Symbian – watch millions of videos without opening any web browser. Free download from m.google.com13.

Two most important hacks that ROM Patcher make possible are – Open4all patch (that gives full system access via any third party file manager) and installserver patch (to remove certificate check restriction enabling installation of unsigned apps).

The latest version of Symbian made its debut last year with the smart phone, and has since found its way into the company's and mobiles. Now Nokia has released a software update for all three phones, which promises to fix some of the buggier elements of the Symbian software, while also offering a couple of new features and some decent free games.that 'most of the updated features are not directly visible to end users'. That'll be the bug fixes and performance enhancements, then. Nokia reckons version 1.1 of the new Symbian OS will 'make it even smoother to use', beefing up 'the quality and stability of the devices'.That's good news. In last September, we complained about some of the strange pop-up messages, and other confusing and frustrating elements in the software.
Games For Nokia 2760
As we get our hands on the new update, we'll let you know if it solves any of those bugbears.Version 1.1 also has a couple of new features, although they're nice-to-haves rather than radically amazing leaps forward. You can now accept meeting requests directly from email invitations, while Nokia's Ovi Maps is now baked into the Symbian email app, so you can see locations of meetings that have an address attached.N8 users specifically get a new version of the Quick Office 6.4 app, to make editing documents and zooming in and out more of a cinch. Better, though, is the news that new N8s will now come with three games preloaded: Need for Speed Shift from EA, Real Golf from Gameloft and Galaxy on Fire from Fishlabs.We checked in with EA this morning, and the version of Need for Speed Shift is the full game, not just a demo, so this is looking like good value for N8-owning gamers. Already got an N8? Don't worry - you can get the games free too, via Nokia's Ovi Store.Nokia warns the N8 software update in particular is a whacking great file, so you should be connected to a Wi-Fi network if installing it over the air. One more caveat: the version of Symbian 1.1 that has been released is the 'standard, non-customised version of the software', with country and operator-specific variants to follow soon.In other words, if you bought your N8 through an operator, you may have to wait longer to get the update - a frustration already. To see if the update is available, you're directed to the Software Update feature on your device, or Nokia's Ovi Suite desktop software.
