NOKIA 5800 EXPRESS MUSIC

The Nokia 5800 XpressMusic has changed the way we have our mobile experience. Before, it was just making phone calls and text messages. Today, it is about being connected 24/7.

These past few years, Social Networking has bitten the world. Everyone has extended his or her life offline to the world online. From simple websites that aim to connect people, now these web 2.0 worlds make more things happen. From sharing of pictures to video to comments and having online meetings, social networking is here to stay as long as people want to be connected with each other.

There is plenty of software out there for the Nokia 5800 phone. You can check some of them at the Ovi Store. Some may not be in Ovi but have individual websites that sell their software. However, not all applications are essential.

I’m going to share to two essential applications that I recommend for Social Networking.

Facebook App

Facebook has overtaken MySpace and Friendster in leaps and bounds. I have been able to connect with a lot of people from long lost relatives to high school and college friends to celebrities. Facebook has a cool application for the Nokia 5800 phone.

The standards apply. You can type in your status using the application. You can check the news feeds or statuses of your network of friends and comment. What I think would be the coolest feature is to upload a photo from your gallery or an instantly taken photo to your Facebook account. Unfortunately, you cannot create a new photo album using thisapplication. But nevertheless, this beats the mobile version anytime.

Gravity

Twitter has revolutionized the way we communicate. With just 140 characters under your arsenal, people have typed in their location, what they are doing or what is on their mind. This is not just happening via desktop computers but via mobile phones. For the Nokia 5800, the best Twitter application would be Gravity. Gravity has a sleek interface and does more than just read tweets. It can post tweets, comment or respond to tweets and search for new friends to follow.

As a bonus, you can add your Facebook account in Gravity so you can update your status as well. And it also displays the statuses of your Facebook network of friends. How cool is that?

Of course, there are other applications out there depending on your need. If you are a MySpace user, there is an application for that. And so do Photobucket and Flickr.
