Applications for your smartphone

I have a Nokia n73 Music Edition. It's a very nice phone. It has 2 GB memory card, 3.2 mp camera, 3G.
However, it doesn't have many applications installed. It has RealPlayer, IM, 3d Tones and a some others but that's that. You can't set the alarm to run every day, you can't change profiles automatically and you can't access the system files.

But all that was change for my phone. Here are the applications I have installed:

This is a very nice application. It allows you to browser through all the files inside your phone. You can even access hidden and system files. You can cut/copy/paste/delete any file. The downside is that the graphical interface doesn't look very good.


Y-Browser


It's another file browser. It doesn't have the capability to access hidden or system files, but it looks much better that the original nokia file browser and has all the functions of X-Plore. I use this for browsing files when I want to send something to someone. It's just like browsing your computer.


Taskman

This is a very simple and usefull application. It's a taskmanager that allows you to view all active proceses and close/kill them. It also shows information about memory usage.


Handy Alarm

This is a very usefull application if you need to wake up at different hours in different days. You can set the alarm to start at 7 am on monday and at 8 am on thuesday, etc. You can also select the alarm song that you want.


Handy Profiles

This application auto-changes the profile depending on the time. For example you can make the phone use silent profile bewteen 11 PM and 9 am and use General bewteen 9 am and 11 pm. Very usefull program because you don't have to change the profiles manually. I used it to make the phone go silent when I was at school and at hight and go general the rest of the time. The good part is that you can set different settings for different days.


RemindMe

This is used to alert you if you have missed calls, new sms, mms or email. You can set how it's going to alert you (lights, vibration, ringtone) and the duration of the alert.

In my opionion, the applications(functionality) listed above sould be on every phone.


Other applications:

Opera Mini

A very cool browser. Much better than the original browser from nokia. You can view the page in landscape; pages load fast.


Gmail

Mail from google.


Solution

This is a very interesting math program. I could help you in solving math problems. You can plot any function (and even more functions in the same graph), calculate expresions, solve ecuations, matrix operations, limits, difirentiate, integrate. Very nice program.


LightNotepad

An ideal text reader very much alike notepad. You can edit txt files cut/copy paste text, etc.


Google maps

Google earth for mobile:)


Core player

Plays avi files.


MobiTubia

You can view movies from youtube and save them.


These are the programs that I have on my phone. I hope this article helps you in deciding that you will add to your phone.
