S60 3.0 (3rd Edition) apps I use
Duncan SampleI've had a Nokia E70 for a little while now, and have been asked by friends and colleagues what software there is, so here's my rundown on the best (free) apps I've found.
After being quized at work by many people for the applications they should download for their new N80/Eseries phone, I've compiled a list of the applications I have used. All of the applications listed are free, but I may post another list soon with useful commercial applications.
If you use anything that I've not listed let me know in the comments and I'll make sure to have a look :o)
Useful/Entertaining applications
Calcium
A nicer, easier to use calculator than the pre-installed application
Widsets
News aggregator/widgets app. View my review here
Nokia Mobile Search
Yellow pages (and others) search app
Eseries aren't listed, so you have to choose another S60 3.0 phone, like the N80, N91, or N93
Nokia Podcasting
Allows the subscription of podcasts and because of the Wireless LAN feature on most S60 3.0 devices it will download over your broadband connection. Now there's no excuse to miss an episode of TWiT.
Nokia Internet Radio
Although the configuration has to be done by editing a file manually, and the UI could be improved, the application works, and enables the streaming of AAC and MP3 internet radio stations. The only thing missing is Realaudio support for the BBC Radio streams, but you should be able to do that with the pre-installed Realplayer.
ShoZu
Photo uploader/tagger. Useful if you upload your photos to the web (Flickr/Kodak Easyshare/etc)
Games
Snakes - The 3D one
Other sites to look at
All About Symbian
All about Symbian has a section dedicated to S60 3.0 applications, and this link is to the filtered list which shows only free applications.

I partly got the idea from Tommi's blog, after he did his 'favourite applications (so far)' post... it should have however been called 'the only applications (so far)' as far as I could see at the time :)
