Written by SymbianOne   
Sunday, 12 March 2006
Burried within our popular downloads repository is a section title - Symbian OS Freeware. With some 75+ Apps. to date this collection of tools is rather impressive. The following piece shares with you the TOP 5 Symbian freeware apps from the directory and points you to some other fine resources.

Free Nokia Themes - Themes, themes, themes... everyone wants themes... the number 1 download has been the Nokia Themes - These themes are designed for Nokia 6600, 6630, 6670 and 7610 imaging smartphones.

Fm Radio  You can't get the N-Gage any longer (unless you score a used one) but don't let that stop you from listening to the radio on your mobile. Fm Radio For Symbian Handsets is our number 2 most popular app.

FExplorer One of the most talked about freeware apps for Symbian is the ever popular F-Explorer - this one is a must have for your device enabling rapid, simple file management - for Nokia 3600, 3650, 6600, 7650 & N-Gage & Siemens SX1 - One of the most popular freeware programs for series 60. Some of the current features include: a message is displayed when a screenshot is saved.  

Agile Messenger Agile Messenger is the most feature rich and versatile Instant Messenger for mobile phones on the market today. Agile Messenger is used daily by over 100,000 users and has been perfected based on feature requests and feedback from tens of thousands of users. No other mobile Instant Messenger is as mature and reliable as Agile Messenger.

PuTTY for Symbian OS PuTTY is a free SSH client developed by Simon Tatham and others. The current version contains SSH protocol support, terminal emulation, and a basic user interface.

OggPlay Series 60 Because listing only the TOP 5 isn't enough, the number 6 most frequently selected download is the awesome OggPlay (S60). Main features of OggPlay for Series 60 MMF phones: + Plays .ogg audio files + Detects and plays audio format supported the phone (MP3, AAC, MP4, M4A) + Recognize Winamp playlist (.m3u) + Free! + Skins (you can make your own, or use already made ones) + User defined hotkeys + Autoplay + Usual music player functions like shuffle and repeat + Ogg files can be used as ringing tone + Random ringing tones + Streaming audio in bluetooth handset.

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

Looking for more freeware Symbian OS Applications? Never fear, our friends at AAS have the following resources just published - Rafe's New S60 Freeware Roundup - and, be sure to also look at Steve's Series 60 Freeware directory, provided as a simple table structure... this directory is nice!
