For The Love Of Nokia E71.

If there are three things i could not live without in my life, those would be my sports shoes, money and my smartphone with an internet connection with it offcourse. These days i’ve been using my Nokia E71 and as thought of and heard of, its simply magnificent. With its metallic slim body to fast symbian OS, bright wide screen to a useful QWERTY keyboard, the Nokia E71 has it all. I would say its more than worth the money you pay for it. Its a complete business phone with decent multimedia features with it.

A smartphone has to be used to its fullest potential in order to make it stand out from the other phones. I have gone through various softwares on the internet of which some are free while others are chargeable. These are some of the most useful softwares I found for the very slim and sexy metallic smartphone called the Nokia E71. Check out the list:



1) Nokia Sports Tracker – This is the one software i truly adore. The Sports Tracker is a software which converts the Nokia E71 into a performance tracking device for an athlete. It synchronises with the GPS, notes, calender and map. It monitors the distance, time, laps, etc. taken by an athlete for various activities like running, walking, cycling, etc. So for all you fitness freaks out there, get a grip on this one.



2) Profimail – Profimail is a powerful e-mail client for your Nokia E71. It allows you to read emails on the go and also send text along with attachments such as photos, voice recordings and office documents with it. The Profimail is chargeable but not much. In order to run this software you only need to have an internet connection and so it does all the email jobs that a blackberry does.



3) Gmail Mobile Application – The Gmail mobile application is gmail’s own free software which runs smoothly on a WAP connection. It gives a vibrating alert, everytime a new email hits your gmail inbox. It has a very simple interface, where you can also compose text messages and send them off instantly. A must have for a WAP enabled Nokia E71.



4) Mobitubia – Its an award-winning application which enables you to watch any video from the Youtube video directory and also save them in flv format on your memory card. Its a free software with a great 3D interface. The interface looks great on E71s 320×240 resolution wide screen.



5) Ebuddy – Ebuddy is an instant messenger client which i use to stay online on numerous messenger services at the same time. It again is a free software and could be run with the help of a WAP connectivity. With this application you can simultaneously stay connected and online on MSN, Yahoo, Gtalk, Facebook, AIM and ICQ.



6) Resco Photo Viewer – The Nokia E71, being a business phone, lacks some of the multimedia features which a Nokia N-series mobile phone possesses. It lacks the image editing features like croping, color adjusting, image effects, etc. The Resco Photo Viewer serves all these features to the E71. However, the advantage or disadvantage of this software is that any modifications which you make to an image could be seen only through the Resco Photo Viewer. The original image file in the gallery is not modified. This is a chargeable software and is very important if you like to edit the pictures which you click from your phone.



7) Opera Mini – You got to have Opera Mini browser installed on your phone for its solid and smooth functioning. Opera Mini gives you the options of surfing the web with a mobile version of websites or the PC version. It is a free and simple browser and is known worldwide for its performance.



8) Bolt – Bolt is my favourite browser. It gives a full PC view of any webpage. The speed is also very fast.



9) Advanced Call Manager – A must have software. Although now found pre-installed with the E71, this software manages your incoming calls in the way you want it to. You can block incoming calls, activate voicemail, blacklist a particular number, enable an answering machine and do lots more with the help of it.



10) Gravity – Now for those who love to use twitter like me, Gravity is the best twitter client you can have on your S60 device. With real-time updates and continuous refreshing, it is super fast. Gravity has got a great interface as well. This software is chargeable and worth buying and also comes with a free full functional 30 days free trial. Just try it once and see for yourself.



11) Handy Calender – It is one of the most useful and must have software if you are someone who needs to be well-organised in their profession. Unlike the default calender, handy calender provides different views (month, week, timetable, day, task), so that you can easily access and do the necessary tasks on your dates. It also has a zoom in facility, something which the default calender does not have. It comes at a very nominal cost.



12) Handy Expense – The very useful application in tracking your expenses and have a control over the unnecessary ones.



13) Google Maps – It is my favourite application when it comes to maps. It shows in-depth details along with the real pictures from the satellite. One can also stay online on the maps with friends through lattitude.



14) Handy Safe Pro – Is an application which stores your bank account numbers, passwords, credit card numbers, etc. One can even store any logins or suitcase lock code in the Handy Safe Pro.



15) Media Safe – Media Safe is one software which allows you to store any kind of media file such as videos, images, sound files or text with any format in case you want to keep these files hidden and password protected inside your Nokia E71.



16) Panoman – Panoman is a camera application for your E71. It allows you to capture a continuous 360 degree image with your solid 3.2 MP camera. One can capture beautiful photographic images with it.



17) X-plore – X-plore is a mobile phone explorer which enables you to send any kind of file or application through bluetooth. It allows you to quickly search and locate any type of file located within the system of e71.



18) Snaptu – Snaptu is multi-purpose application which serves as a newsreader, facebook client, picasa client, etc. along with its main purpose being a twitter client. It is a great application for any symbian phone and is also constantly updated for its betterment.



19) Yahoo Go – This is a Yahoo’s own application for all you yahoo users which provides access to yahoo’s different features such as mail, weather, flickr, news, etc.



20) Handy Converter – Handy Converter is an all in one converter for your device which can convert not just currencies, but also different units of weight, area, volume, speed, temperature, etc. It could be very needful during any time of the day.
