Free Twitter clients for Symbian S60 phones

October 8th, 2009

Its quite a long time I was looking for a Twitter client for my Symbian S60 phone (Nokia 5320). Earlier I used JTwitter but it gone to paid application so I only left with m.twitter.com or dabr.co.uk like website to use on.

But recently a friend queried about it and I again had a search on it and come up with two free Twitter clients.

Snaptu

Snaptu is Java based funbox. If you psnaptuhone is Java enabled, it can be installed. More than just Twitter client, it contains every thing that we need to used on Internet on daily basis. Name any social networking or daily use site, they have them on it. Almost every popular site is available as a widget, which can be added to Snaptu. The Twitter interface is very clean. To download Snaptu to your phone, point the browser of your mobile phone to this URL: m.snaptu.com

TweetS60

You need to signin for only once and the thing I like over Snaptu is you can set Internet access point. It means you didnt need to select your Internet access point every time it refreshed. You can download TweetS60 from here.

I have decided to keep both applications on my phone. I will use TweetS60 for Twitter and will use Snaptu for other Internet needs. Like cricket score, weather, images and calandar etc.

Essential softwares for Symbian S60 phone

April 7th, 2009

s60logoAvailability of Symbian OS in Nokia mobile phones has created outsized number of mobile application developers. Who are developing softwares to make your phone, more than just a calling device. If your mobile has Symbian S60 platform software then a big mass of software is there to choice. Here I am compiling a list of my favorite S60 software which I am using in my Nokia 5320 XpressMusic. All are free. Enjoy.

1. Opera Mini: Opera Mini gives you the full Web experience on your mobile phone. Browser which provided as default in Nokia phones is not featured rich and very basic. Opera Mini provides you full view of web with auto completion address bar.

2. Y-Profile Scheduler: I have to change profile when I am in office and when I left office back to General. So I was looking for such software which automates this thing and schedule the profiles according to time line and days.

3. Gmail: A fantastic Java-based application for accessing your Google Mail account on your mobile phone. Though it comes up with very limited functionality but yet it’s a great effort to provide Gmail inbox in your mobile phone.

4. Enhanced S60 Calculator: Default calculator of Nokia phones is not much usable. I have found a calculator application from Nokia Beta Labs. This calculator is easy to use and also has some scientific functions. The problem in this calculator is its slow in responsiveness.

5. cCam: Now with Nokia phones you can not take pictures without shutter sound. Nokia has excluded this feature. cCam is a camera capture program that saves pictures without shutter sound and flash light to the default memory card image directory.

6. Fring: The only pc independent peer-to-peer mobile VoIP service. Fring also provides a wide range of instant messaging and social connectivity options.

7. Screenshot: You can capture screen shots from your S60 phone.

8. Calcium Calculator: A fast, easy and classic calculator for Symbian S60 phones.
