If only i could work in Nokia and dictate the programs that they must install on their phones. Till then, allow me to list the programs which are absolutely essential:
1. Tracker. This is my ultimate 'homescreen' utility. The customisation possibilities are tremendous and all the things that i need (applications, bookmarks, documents) are at my finger tips.
2. MoneyManager2. With all due respect to Handy Expense and its suite of programs, i really do not need something that complicated. I just need a finance program that allows me to key in the amount of money that i have spent, categorise as necessary, show how much i have spent for the month (and when the next month starts, just move on to a new month).
*** plus, it does not insist on being used on only ONE IMEI; as i move from N95 to N95 8gb to E90 to N82 to N85, i stay faithful to this program *** This program is large unheralded but Highly Recommended.
3. Opera Mini. No introduction needed, it's simply the best mobile browser.
4. Font Magnifier. With S60 FP2, there are more options than before to adjust font sizes in messages and menu. But it's just not enough -- i like all the font sizes to be customisable; i want to be able to change font sizes by even 1% and not just 'small, medium, large'. Font magnifier allows me to do it.
Caveat: it is not compatible with Opera Mini which crashes...so it's kinda catch-22 for me now. And according to their response to my query, they do not intend to do anything about this problem at this point in time.
5. Dr Jukka's Y-browser. Excellent file manager with lots of options. Unfortunately it cannot access Nokia's private directory which means i cannot alter the Notes.
6. MSN. no explanation needed.
7. Wldsets. Nuggest size piece of info, quick to load too.
8. Screenshot.
9. Dedit. Free editor
10. MobiOffice. Cheaper than Quickoffice and somehow seems better to me.
11. Calculator. This is the more advanced version from Nokialabs...similar to the S40 version i think. How i wish S60 could implement the good features of S40 e.g. the 'copy to calendar' function when one reads an sms.
12. DivX player. Nokia's native player is still too limiting. Coming from Omnia and resisting the urge to buy Innov8, the DivX player is my stopgap measure. One more thing, it is MUCH louder than Nokia's native video player too.
13. Google Maps.
