Extra Applications:
Once you’ve got Symbian you wont be happy with just the basic application suite. Oh no! And, luckily, installing new applications is as easy as pie.
First, install the CD that came with the phone. Then, connect the phone via the cable. Allow windows to automatically install all of your drivers. Once that’s done, you just find a compatible .SIS file on the Internet, download it, and double click it! Nokia’s application manager will load up and guide you through the rest. You can delete applications from the handset too – just go to the application manager on the phone itself and remove what you don’t want. You’ll soon get the hang of moving your icons around and keeping things tidy.
First off, I got the widely acclaimed Agile Messenger (http://www.agilemobile.com/). Wow! It’s great! I strongly suggest getting this freebie onto your phone so you can MSN/Yahoo/ICQ/AIM with your friends and colleagues wherever you are. Oh yes, the benefits of a good Symbian phone are becoming apparent.
I also bought two cheap applications (no more than £15). The first was VRadio – an interesting program that gives you access to a limited selection of streamed radio stations. I hope that the BBC channels will be available through it at some stage, but for now it provides me with an amusing variety of things to explore when I’m bored and feeling rich (remember, data charges apply). The other was Mocha Telnet for Symbian. I’ve already used this Telnet/SSH/SSH2 client on my Pocket PC and I can recommend it to anyone who fancies a bit of remote Linux administration while they’re on the road/at the gym/plain doing something they’re not supposed to be but needs to be able to keep tabs on servers.
There are thousands of applications out there – go find them.
