The Nokia 5800 is one of the best little smartphones of the moment. The combination of a great touchscreen, Nokia assured build quality and the S60 operating system that just works, makes it the perfect choice for anyone who wants to stay connected.
However, any smartphone is only as good as the apps you install on it. We’ve put together what we think are the Top 5 bits of software you need to make the most of the Nokia 5800. The best part is that each one is FREE to download, so what have you to lose?
Make the most of your new Nokia 5800 with some of the best software around:
Opera Mini 4.2
Getting a quick internet connection is crucial, so the latest version of Opera Mini delivers the most powerful mobile web browsing experience yet. It’s ideal for any one who wants to save on bandwidth and get to the source of info quicly. After all, Opera does all the crunching down its end before sending you the page. If you’ve got little in the way of data on your tariff or just don’t like Nokia’s built-in browser this is the one for you.
BBC iPlayer Mobile
Want to watch the latest TV shows from the passed week on the Nokia 5800’s 3.2-inch screen? While you won’t be able to view this over the 3G connection, you can use the built-in Wi-Fi connection to stream shows to your handset. It works exceedingly well, but make sure you have Firmware V2 on your 5800 otherwise you’ll find a few connection problems.
Mail For Exchange
Mail For Exchange is a fantastic appplication and if email is big in your life then this app is the one for you. It’s Nokia’s push email service and is something of a serious BlackBerry beater on Nokia handsets, and the message maestro is now supported on the 5800 too. Now you’llbe able to stay in touch with work, colleagues and friends whether you’re stuck on a train, a beach or in front of the TV.
Handwriting Calculator
Skip the mental arithmetic and simply scrawl whatever sum you need doing onto the 5800’s screen with the stylus, and presto. Should you need to do more advanced sums, it’ll recognise square roots and other processes you couldn’t possibly need in day to day life – and it’s got the official Nokia seal of approval.
Mobbler
If you love music and social networking then you’ll no doubt be a fan of last.fm? Tune into the music social network via your mobile then, as the latest version now supports Symbian S60 5th edition to chuck songs onto your Tube on the go. There’s still a few reported bugs in it, but expect a fix in the not too distant future to the best internet radio app so far for phones.
