Hello. i Have a p910. i love it. i had a p900 before this, i have never put aftermarket type applications on either though. i had a couple of demo things that ran out and i was too lazy to send money online to get them....
What are some applications that you guys use, that you couldnt live without now that you have them?
Please include where to get them, how much they cost, exactly what they let you do, etc.
thanks.

Apps I can't live without: Hmmm here a a couple of my favorites...

Handy Day 2005 PROFESSIONAL(PAID VERSION) - I use it as a pocket pc style 'today screen' and also weather updates and RSS news feeds that I can set to automatically update several times every day so that when I look the new information is always there! It has MANY plugins that can be used.... and one great feature of this program is a task list where you can actually end programs to free memory. It also has a plugin for displaying current memory for the storage card, ram, and internal memory. And I LOVE the skins.... alot of which come with a phone theme that matches so everything is seemless! I played with both this and tracker and this is by far easier to set up and laid out better.

Agile Messenger (FREEBIE) - Great for MSN, YAHOO, AIM, and ICQ, chat client all in one. And it's free!! It work great!

Map View GPS (FREEBIE) - Great if you have a BT GPS unit.... You can import bitmap maps into the program and once you set the coordinates, it will display your position on the map. Also uses most map formats for gps software. If you dont have a GPS unit, the program is still great because you can save maps for somewhere you are visiting and pull them up when you need them, scroll around and zoom in etc. So its great as just a map 'viewer' as well. Also a screen to show basic GPS info and acts as a digital compass (need a bt gps unit to use th compass sicne it gets the info from sat)

thank you synergie! thats exactly what i was looking for. the agile messenger sounds like something i could use. i use my phone more for texting, and Effing around, so the business stuff really isnt worth it for me. and the map thing sounds like fun, but i dont have a bluetooth navi, unless the one thats gonna be in my bmw will work, but that would be unbelieveable.
where can i download the agile messenger?
thanks agian!

Why don't you go to Handango and read about the Applications. You can even download most software on a trial basis.

The MapView GPS Program works without GPS as well.... as simply a map viewer.... good for just trying to look up where you are going. You can import BMP files... and you could even store maps of things like subway routes etc. The only thing you wont be able to do is see an indicator of where you are and your position. I don't have a BT GPS yet.... and I still use it for looking up streets etc for places I am going.

You must have got over 100 application suggestions. Is this not enough????

Posted by: Jornan

My number one app is SMan v1.4 (v1.4 is MUCH better than v1.3!)
Freeing memory, restart, zip and unzip files, autostart programs, taskmanager, filemanager, change system front, blujacking and much more!

Sokoban is the best game. Simple and very good (I'm at level 34!)

Tracker is also very good. I've tried over 400 programs, and has to say that this is the top 10:
1. SMan
2. Opera
3. Tracker
4. Smart Movie
5. Agile Messenger
6. Handy Day Pro
7. Remote Control (2)
8. Remote P900
9. Screen Capiture
10. Blue Eyes
(For devices without Word, Excel and Power Point: Quickoffice)

Three key ones to add:
AquaCalendar (best "FC" flip-closed) calendar
ContactGuide (great contacts manager for my 2100 contacts)
UnrealPlayer (great MP3 player/organizer)\

huh? the P900 *has* java. where do you get that it does not?

Posted by: maza45

Well when I was on google's site for the Google Local program. The p900 wasn't listed on the list of compatible phones, so it gave me a msg that my phone may lack java. I also tried to access the Google Local wap page and it does not connect to it. Any of you have it on your p900? If so, instructions on how to get it would be appreciated.
Thanks

the app works works on the P800/P900/P910. Go to the Generic phone and get the MIDP2 version. There really are really only 2 version of the app anyways: the MIDP1 and the MIDP2. I believe the P900 takes the MIDP2 version.

Now, a word of caution, there are people who are unable to use the app on the P910 (me for example) and there are others who are able to. It seems to be related to network settings as the app loads fine but fails to connect even though all other net apps work. As I said, there are others for whom it works so you might be lucky.

Please try by going to the Generic brand choice and picking the MIDP2 version. The MIDP1 one will work as well but the MIDP2 one has more subtle features.

Please keep us posted.

i have 2 questions . first how is the compatibility of P910a with Tom Tom Mobile 5 and GPS bluetooth receiver. Or is there any better combination. Second will i be able to use my HBH 662 while i am using GPS with bluetooth receiver?

Posted by: xcyber

Here's my #1 Favorite so far...

Repligo (Read Document)
Favorite- Read almost all file, fast reading, adjust to your own comfort, easy & simple.
Dislike- None at all !! (maybe it will takes a little longer process, but cause you have to first read it off from your PC then transfer to your smartphone.)

I Love this program!!

Posted by: godzilla12

Finally read superballs original post so here are more details on my favorite apps:

* FileMan: I really like it because it is simple and easy-to-use. It lets you browse the WHOLE file hierarchy, whereas the standard file browser included with the phone restricts you to only the 'media files' area. I often need to access these files to move/copy/delete/send via BT/IR, so for me it is essential. Cost: $4.95

* Mandala Notebook: I use this more than any other app. It lets you import word files (no figures) and organize heaps of data in an outline. You can also export to word, and you can import mind manager outlines. I use it as my second brain for just about every task or project. It also syncs tasks and appointments with outlook. Cost: $29.95 - they currently have a 70% discount.

* Metro: I travel a LOT and this is one of the most useful free apps I know. You can download public transport connections for almost any region in the world. It tells you the connection of trains or whatever from one place to another, and how long it will take. It also works on just about any mobile device. Now if only they had the timetables!

Posted by: ChillerHannah

My favourites are Opera, Switcher, which lets you turn off stuff you didnt realise you left running, Zipman (but you need to beg, borrow, steal, or buy a reg code) and Animator (again coded). Animator is a particularly cool app that lets you download fonts, use handwtiting, use blank backgrounds or pics in your phone, and you simply write a message and it animates. You can mms and email em, or even use em for little avatars, logos or buttons.

Found Agile but free its not.

I am new to Symbian OS and need to learn what is what.
I just got a P990i, but have been using a a WM2003se i930, and Treo 650 for a while but never a Symbian OS phone.

I´ve just found this great application; Automobile

If you want to have your consumption under control and supervision check out this utility

Are you confused of your petrol-expenses? Aren’t you sure how much do you pay for one kilometer and how much petrol does you car consume? Is it difficult for you to calculate or does it take a lot of time to you? Aren’t you completely clear about your car and travelling expenses (washing, parking, service, oil and tyre change, or every similar payment)?

Lubisoft Automobile is a program, which provides besides this basic functions also calculations of expenses of your business trip or holiday. It enables very easily to make financial overview about all your expenses connected with travelling by car and so reduces them effectively.

Automobile helps you store your data, dealing with petrol cost, volume and expenses, milage, shopping of car accessories and services. Automobile calculates statistics for each month or year from this data, because your mobile saves date and time of your payments automatically. You can enrich every entry with notice about location of petrol station or destination of your journey. The greatest advantage of Automobile is user-friendly environment, ease of information input and easy-to-read output.

You can enter petrol consumption and distances in various units (litre, gallon or congius for volume; kilometres or miles for distance). If you prefer tabular output you can also export data to spreadsheet programs such as MS Excel.

Hi guys,
does anyone know of the Voice Recognition software or app for UIQ 3 ? I have the P1i, and I used to own the Samsung T629. There was an app called VoiceSignal that allows me to call anyone on my contact list without having to record my voice for each contact, like what the P1i does now (voice Command) I was wondering whether there was software equivalent to the Voice Signal app for this platform or even phone ?

I know there were some called SpeechEasy(?) for the S60 platforms and i was wondering whether i could use those for the UIQ 3 ?

Any responses or feedback is greatly appreciated !!
