Mark also brings to relief to weary fingers with a key-stroke saving tip for setting alarms on your S60 device. Little did he (or I!) know that by opening the clock app and simply entering the time on the number pad you can set an alarm. Neat, if not revolutionary!

Features highlighted range from sorting emails to search, while there is a fantastic run down of the shortcut keys one can use while running Nokia Email service both for numeric and QWERTY keypads - yes, that’s 26 shortcuts right at your fingertips! Teo also talks bout how Nokia Beta Labs, where the Email service is now available from, works. Worth a read if you’ve never investigated before.

He has taken his much-cared-for N95 which has a series of fine scratches on the lens despite his constant cleaning of the glass (what he didn’t realise was he was grinding in microscopic particles of dirt with his shirt corner) and has taken some snaps to prove his point. The point being that until there is an issue with flare from a bright light (flash in a mirror or direct sun) there is very little difference as to whether scratches on the lens are actually a problem.

Coming from an E61, Shah found the 2MP camera to be a ‘bit of a bonus’ as he likes to take pics on the move. He also found that although the E61 was ‘packed’ with features, it loses out to the ‘i’ version for usability. Coupled with a Bluetooth connection, it has allowed Shah to ‘go wireless’ via his laptop, and the best things for him is the ability to watch YouTube videos ‘anytime, anywhere’.

Do you use your device to ‘go wireless’? Is there anything Shah is missing out on that he has yet to discover on the E61i? Could the E71, or one of Nokia’s other new devices offer an even better experience? Head over and let him know.

Sadly mute (although the site is German, so a commentary might not have been as enlightening as we’d have hoped), the video nevertheless shows us every aspect of the device, and the comparison shots highlight all the physical differences between the two. A classic physical unboxing, the video shows the device from start up and through the menus. A great place to see the difference in these two classic devices, and see where new kid on the block, the E71, got its heritage.

EmTube gets a mention, along with screen shots and the assertion that it is Scott’s favourite – he likes the UI and says it is a ‘nice native S60’ player. MobiTubia also gets the thumbs up for being ‘simple but effective’, but FLVPlayer didn’t seem to work for him. He mentions a few other options, including an appeal to his readers asking if they have developed a video player of their own.

Apoc writes that the ‘realtime GPS tracking’ app lets you use maps to see where your device is that very moment, and also allow others to know. Rafe has done a real life test (by attaching a device to his dog), but hasn’t published the results as they weren’t terribly good. He does include some screen shots of the app, though, which help show how it works.

Is this something you’d download to your device? What uses can you see for this? Head over and let Rafe know, or join in the SF forum thread.

Separated neatly into categories by producer of the app, gerrymoth breaks down the list into four easy sections. Starting with Nokia-produced content, he has all the usual suspects from Chat to Maps, before moving on to externally sourced apps. There’s the Epocware set (Handy Taskman and Handy Converter included) and Google’s ‘Gaggle’ (Maps and Mail), followed by a whole host of others. All the apps you read about are listed, and this is a perfect place to start for the new user looking to pimp their device.

Are you a newbie just starting out? How is this list for you? Power users, anything that should be added? Jump over and let gerrymoth know what you think.

There’s a lot of thanks given to original poster cred, with the discussion then turning to its merits. [Master] says that it is better than the pre-installed Nokia calculator, but bchliu reckons it is a ‘rip-off’ of the Calcium app many have on their devices. hamzaB reports that there is already an update, probably just to iron out any bugs that may have crept into the original.

Have you tried this calculator yet? Is it better for you than others? Join in the forum discussion and let other know your thoughts.

Basically a collection of forums and sites, Joshua explains what can be found at each, and how much digging will have to be done to find the perfect app. Starting with Mosh, Nokia’s ‘portal for free apps, games, audio and images’, he goes on to take in many of the sites that will be well known to power users, but might well be undiscovered by those new to Symbian. A must-read for anyone looking to get the best out of their device.

Are there any venues you can add to the list? Where do you hang out to find your apps? Head over and let Joshua know what you think
