Until Nokia's own App Store finally gets up and running, 5800 XpressMusic owners are in the same boat as S60 phone owners for the last 5 years, in terms of having to scavenge a little in order to find everything that's of worth. Which is why, hopefully, articles like this will help out.
Note that in order to be considered for our Top 20 Freeware, an application must:
- be either free or at least 100% fully working in demo form, with no time restrictions
- be (at least partly) optimised for S60 5th Edition, the screen size on the 5800 and the use of the touch-screen
1. Google Maps
The first really huge third party S60 application to get a full touch makeover, this works superbly on the 5800 XpressMusic, in both landscape and portrait modes, and with touch-panning of maps and of the StreetView displays (in countries where this is supported) - it's almost like running Google Maps on the iPhone....(!)
Version 2.3 was the first to really work well, version 3.0 is now released and also has built-in Latitude (friend-finding) support.
