I have purchased Nokia 5230 Touchscreen mobile two days back and I would like to say that it is a superb device. I have never used a touchscreen mobile before, and I am feeling the power of touch. The Symbian series 60 5th edition operating system is also very nice and for extra applications there is Ovi store. Thanks to Nokia, the Ovi Maps with free navigation is one of my reason to purchase this phone. My earlier mobile was E51 so I am quite used to symbian phones. So far I have installed following applications on my 5230 –
-
Opera Mini 5 Beta – what a wonderful browser on a mobile, if you are still using Opera 4 switch to it ASAP. This is must application.
-
Fring – to chat with my Gmail, Yahoo, MSN contacts
-
Skyfire – alternative web browser (specially for viewing flash)
-
Wordmobi – to post on wordpress directly from mobile (I came to know that official app from wordpress for Nokia is coming soon..)
Besides that I am looking for some other apps on Ovi Store and have downloaded some small apps like SMS Preview, Nokia Photo Browser, Weather Touch, Memory Touch etc. If you know about any other good application for 5230 (or 5800/5530/5533/N97/N97 mini as all are compatible) please let me know.
