Visit the SymbianOne Symbian Freeware Directory
This directory is by no means complete, however, it is an wesome resource...
be sure to make use of some of the apps and please, provide some feedback as to
which apps you like, which apps are missing from the list, and which apps you
don't think make the grade.
We asked a few people which applications they depend on... here's what we heard:
- S60 Must-have commercial app: Zi Text Input FEP - this is just too cool to enter
text and SMS on S60 devices. Word prediction works too well for me.
- S60 Must-have freeware : FExplorer and Switcher (just because I need them for
developping.....)
- UIQ Must-have commercial app: a small game we are developing
- Must-have freeware - Switcher
- WorldMate from MobiMate - World time clocks, world cities weather, and flight
status - a must for the frequent traveler Nokia Business Center from Nokia - mobile
Email Quick Office from MDM (QuickOffice) - gives me full functionality for the
attachments I get in my mobile email. Yahoo! Go from Yahoo! free app. for mail,
photos, news access etc.
- I depend on my free screen capture apps, Nokia Lifeblog, flickr and the moblogging
settings, and some blogging tools, such as the likes of utilities provided by
Cognima
