Thread: Top 10: the best Nokia N95 (Symbian S60v3) applications

Update 23/02/2009: Updated, removed and added applications!

Since getting my new Series 60 device, I've been looking around for all the best little apps to take advantage of the accelerometer, GPS and general awesomeness of the device. Below are probably the best 10 of the 15 I'm currently using.

Please note: some of these applications are unsigned. You'll need to sign them yourself, and you can find the guide to do so HERE.

Also note: I've attached the N95 Accelerometer Plugin to this post (bottom), which usually needs to be installed to phone memory for the accelerometer applications to work.

YouTube
[Download: m.youtube.com/app/ on your mobile]
It's beta, but it's official! You can log into your YouTube account, view videos, post comments and even upload videos from your phone straight to YouTube. The video quality isn't as good as emTube, but it's sure to be improved in future releases.

Qik

Qik uses your mobile network or WiFi connection to stream video LIVE to the internet. Anyone around the world can log-on to Qik.com and see what you're filming, as you're filming it!

AutoProfiles 3.1

AutoProfiles schedule automatic profile changes and Bluetooth status changes on your mobile based on time and/or events. Hugely handy.

Google Latitude
[Download: google.com/latitude on your mobile]
Based in the Google maps engine, you can find places and use your GPS to determine the best route. Better than that, you can see your friends' locations around the world, status messages, and share yours with them. Great for travellers!

rotateMe (2.1 beta2)

Thought the auto-rotate feature of the iPhone was cool? Well the N95 can do it to. This application works OS-wide, so you can use auto-rotate in games, your gallery, YouTube and everything else too! Please install N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis first (downloadable at the bottom of this post).

ShutUp
[Download: bottom of this post]
Flip your phone over to close the incoming call and/or change your profile to silent. It also enables the ending of calls by sliding your slider down. Please install N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis first (downloadable at the bottom of this post).

NokeMote
[Download: bottom of this post]
Shake your N95 to pause your current track, or tilt it left/right to skip between tracks in your playlist. Just like the new iPods! Please install N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis first (downloadable at the bottom of this post).

Fring

Use your N95 as a Skype client. When connected to a WiFi network, you can make calls via Skype at no cost, as well as interact online via MSN (Windows Live Messenger), SIP, Google Talk, Twitter, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, orkut, Yandex Mail, Gmail notifier, WeFi, Facebook and Last.fm.

The absolute best GameBoy Advance emulator. Grab ROMs from RomsCentral.

Sports Tracker
[Download: bottom of this post]
Nokia Sports Tracker is a GPS-based activity tracker. It gathers information such as speed, distance, and time are automatically stored in your training diary. The best part is that you can show the routes you've taken on the website - letting people everyone see your pub crawl. Please install N95AccelerometerPlugin.sis first (downloadable at the bottom of this post).

There are a few others definitely worthy of note, too. Here they are...

Phone Guardian

If a different sim is put in your phone, the alarm will sound, an SMS will be sent to two numbers you specify, and a notice of your choice can be displayed, ie; "Locked! E-mail joe@legend.org for reward!"

DivX Player
[Download: bottom of this post]
Obviously DVD resolution DivX movies will be too big unless you have an 8GB SDHC memory card, but using DivX Converter on your PC, you'll be able to convert movies into tiny DivX encoded files to play on your N95!

If any of the attached apps aren't working, post here and I'll get them updated or replaced with working install files.

Feel free to talk about and attach your favourites in this thread too.

Enjoy!
