Zum Zum is a simple yet attractive arcade game which has an egyptian backdrop in the way the menu options and the entire screen has been designed. If you have played those bubble arcade games, you will find a lot of similarity in the way the whole gaming logic works here. Here, you find a series of multi-coloured balls racing from one hole to the other in a spiral path. You have to shoot a matching coloured ball in the collection of running balls in such a way that it hits the same colour adjacent balls (minimum 2 in number). The combination of three or more same colour balls result in a collapse thus reducing the length of the running ball collection thus preventing it from reaching the other hole. If the running ball reaches the other hole, your game is over.

The world of social media has taken the Internet by storm. It has become a phenomenon that has brought old friends together and new friends meet for the first time. One of these social networks is Friendster and they have brought their flavor of social networking at the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone via the Free Friendster application.

Your Friendster on the Nokia 5800.

The Application

The Friendster application basically brought almost all the features of the desktop version to the Nokia 5800 phone. As you know, Friendster has been one of the pioneers of the social network industry and it knows what to add in their application.

Upon launching the application, you are met with the Friendster log-in page. Be sure that you already have an account with Friendster before using this application. Once you’re logged in, you are shown a simple interface. At the top of the page, you can find the Friendster logo. Then there is a roster of buttons, which the application hopes we will be using more often. These are namely the Home, My Profile, Friends and Album. At the bottom of the buttons roster will be your profile photo and the status you have typed in Friendster. This is similar to the Facebook status. It gives you an indication of how many people have viewed your profile and the comments that your friends have placed.

When you scroll down, you can read the recent comments your friends have made about you. This can range from ordinary text to html embedded messages. If you click the “Album” button, you will be transported to your online photos. Want to check our all your friends in the network, click the “Friends” button at the top of the page.

My take on the Friendster Application

The Friendster application basically mimics the features and design of the online desktop version. The clean white and blue color scheme is used in basically all elements on the screen – buttons, text and icons. I say “Kudos” to the programmers for bringing familiarity to the interface. First time users will not have a hard time using the application.

Loading time is fine except when the built-in Nokia 5800 Internet browser does not recognize certain html codes. If the comments are graphics intensive, expect some slowness in loading especially if you have a poor Internet connection.

My verdict

I can say that the Friendster application is a very good replica of the online desktop version. It faces tough competition with the several social network applications such as the Faceboook app. But it can roll with the punches.

Of course, if you are an avid Friendster user, this app is for you. If not, then this is also a good way to explore the world of Friendster.

The Friendster application for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone can be downloaded for FREE here. If you wish to donate to the author, go right ahead. Just register to access the site. You can also download this application straight to your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone by installing the Ovi Store Application.
