Tommi’s S60 Application blog:

Last Friday, Hasseraze Chamamod asked kindly:

I have a nokia N73 and I would be grateful to you if
you could suggest me some more extra applications that can be valuable
to me

Sure thing. (sorry about the late reply)

To begin with, I have divided this shortlist of add-on applications
and services to 7 categories. A couple of years ago, the category (b) 3rd party consumer apps
was probably the most interesting one. For some reason, however, I find
myself using stuff from the other categories, especially the (a) Nokia add-on stuff and (c) Internet stuff much more than traditional 3rd party apps. I wonder is it just me or is this a trend?

OperalogoVery impressive, almost complete, list.

I would have to add Opera Mini and Opera for S60. The difference is Opera Mini is free and uses a proxy server to compress a website for you; it also has an RSS reader that supports images and full HTML. It is absolutely fantastic if you’re in North America like me where 3G is still something relatively new and you’re stuck with EDGE.

Opera for S60 is $30 and it has become my browser of choice when connected to a WLAN or when I really need the full web experience. No offense to the web browser developers at S60, I love your work. It’s just that your updates are tied to Feature Pack releases.

Feature Pack releases are tied to new phones.

When Opera comes out with version 9 of their S60 browser I just have to download it, install it and I’m good to go.
