Adobe Reader doesn’t need any introduction, does it? Well, you may know that since Adobe pdf is one of the most widely used document formats today, Adobe PDF Reader has been a standard office package for the s60 third edition with the immensely popular Quickoffice.
However as of today, a fully functional Quickoffice continues to elude the s60 fifth edition devices. But, our developer friends at Quickoffice have been good enough to offer Adobe Reader as a stand-alone application. Lets see how this PDF viewer app fares on our Nokia 5800s. Read more »

And then there was Smartlight
I’m sure all of us have experienced this. We check our messages in our inbox. While we’re reading, the backlight turns off. So we need to touch it again. And again. And again. Wouldn’t it be nice if your phone knew when you needed the light and when not? Thank goodness for SmartLight Automatic Backlight.
Smartlight Automatic Backlight by PhonePhreak Software for the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone will let your backlight stay on until you close or hide you applications automatically. Now, you are in control of your phone.
Once started on your Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone, SmartLight runs as a background application. With SmartLight running at the background, the backlight stays on as long as the menu or an application window is in the foreground. The backlight goes out as normal backlight phone settings once the user returns to the idle screen.
Record your message for later.

New Firmware. New Features?
Recently, rumors that our favorite Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone will be receiving a major firmware update is circulating in the internet. Included in this firmware upgrade are certain addressed issues and functional tweaks.
Some rumored functional and aesthetic improvements are the kinetic scrolling in the web browser and contacts list. Kinetic or flick scrolling is an awesome feature that iPhone introduced where the user “flicks” the screen and the unit responds with a fluid scrolling function. Double tap will zoom into the screen. That will look great in the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone.
I have been looking around for some wallpapers for Nokia 5800 Xpress Music, found some lists around the web and joined all of them so that you can have a package with tons of wallpapers. This list might be the biggest one around the web, bigger than even another with 200 or something wallpapers. Also, in a near future we will get you an original list of wallpapers made by Neo, our mate from Nokia5800.net. This wallpaper pack for Nokia 5800 is just the beginning of better and more beautiful wallpapers. This wallpapers will also work on the Nokia N97 smartphone.
Have a look below to some of the wallpapers you can get:
As promised, the MyPhone v2.2 for Nokia 5800 XpressMusic phone was launched last July 15, 2009 with such anticipation. With new improvements and features, this new release will surely bring the Nokia 5800 look like an iPhone but with the powerful features of the Nokia 5800 S60 mobile operating system.
This Nokia N97 game is based on the classic ping pong game (arcade game). It has 4 levels: easy, medium, hard and ultra with semi transparent menu, excellent graphics and eye catching background. Using your movable bar, just send the ball back to the opponent. There is a pad at the bottom screen you can use to control the movable bar. The opponent will get point once that ball falls. But you will get point once the opponent fails to catch the ball.

There must be catch here right? Infact, there is one, this offer can be availed only by residents of UK, while the rest of the world can just sit and watch as their Brit counterparts get their hands on Europe’s top selling pay-monthly phone all for free. Well lets hope Nokia brings this offer to other regions as well. Read more »

You must be wondering if we have missed something here, as our Tube lacks a physical numpad for that “whacking” action but rest assured SpeedTouch Lite makes fair use of the Touchscreen capability of the symbian fifth edition OS. The game feels much better than the “Whac-a-mole”, as you actually get to touch the bubbles here as opposed to hitting on the num pad, which at times can be confusing. Read more »

Strobe is yet another very handy application, delivered by by Offscreen Technologies for the symbian fifth edition platform. If BrightLight bought torch light feature to our 5800, Strobe now brings Stroboscopic lamp features to 5800. In case you didn’t know what Stroboscopic lamps or Strobes are: its a device that can produce regular flashes of light which are most commonly seen in clubs and alarm systems and are great for SOS signalling. So you may want this application on your 5800 for your next hiking trip. While we definitely wish you don’t need to resort to SOS signalling, we want you to “be prepared”, if the need arise.
Installation
Strobe v1.0 is one of the new applications to have surfaced in the recent overhaul of ovi store and can be downloaded for free the Ovi client. At around300 kb, its one of the thriftiest packages, meaning download and installation is simple and fast. After installation, the application takes up around 425 kb, just in case you were worrying about applications hogging precious memory space on your 5800.
Control Switch
As you may have noticed by now, Ovi Store has been brimming with a new set of applications for the last few days. As on Friday, I was not able to download any of these new applications, but things changed towards good as the weekend progressed. I successfully downloaded and installed some of these new applications and the best part is most of them are actually very useful applications. I will start with an application, which if you ask me should have been built-in into the s60 fifth edition OS but when a third party developer is providing it for free, there is no pointing in complaining about it, right? Offscr Technologies continue their goodwork and with BrightLight, they bring an easy-to-use torch light function to our 5800, that utilises the two LEDs of the camera flash for illumination and not the screen as with Ever Light, reviewed earlier.
Installation
BrightLight can be downloaded for free from the ovi store client. The installation file is around 370 kb and after installation it takes up around 450 kb of space on the phone memory/memory card (depending on where you install it). Its one of the most compact applications and installation is done in a blink of an eye.
VoiceQ is developed as a solution for users who wish to remember tasks and do not want to write down what they have to do on various sheets of paper or notes that get lost, or if they are on the go and don’t have the means to write a note at the same time. Using VoiceQ you can easily record voice notes and have them automatically send to your email queue with as little as two clicks on your Nokia 5800 Smartphone! Read more »

Inspired by the success of MyPhone, which definitely is the hottest application for 5800 today, MMMOOO has come up with this fully functional android emulator-M1. As with MyPhone, M1 is an application launcher for s60 devices and makes your Nokia 5800 interface like a Google Android one. As you can see, the S60 can be easily converted into many other interfaces to look like them and Nokia 5800 or Nokia N97 are good examples of touchscreen phones where the emulators are the best. Despite this, you can run M1 on your Symbian S60 3rd Edition device.

As promised we are back with a few more screenshots of the next version of MyPhone. Please note that as readers of our blog, you are among the first to get a glimpse of these images as we are as always the first source on the web to publish these screenshots. Sit back and enjoy as we show you some of the best features of the next version of MyPhone Infinite.
SMS Interface
iPhone like SMS interface
We did tell you about the iPhone style SMS interface in our earlier post and now we are providing you with a few screenshots to drool over as you wait to get your hands on the latest version of MyPhone.
While the earlier versions of MyPhone just provided the front end enhancement for various applications, developers at MMMOOO have now successfully incorporated a SMS client which will blend perfectly with the theme of iPhone or rather MyPhone on 5800. With this new SMS interface, MyPhone is inching towards its slogan of Exceeding iPhone and we definitely love it. Its not only an interface as with other applications, its a fully functional SMS client in the sense that users can edit and send their SMS within the same interface for that extended iPhone like feel.
Other than the new SMS interface, MyPhone packs in another surprise package in the form of all new sketch pad application. Its a standalone paint like application very much similar to the “Drawing” application on N97. Check out our gallery below for a few screenshots of the iPhone like SMS interface and the all new Sketchpad application that comes along with MyPhone v2.2.
Just a few more days and you could very well be toying with this application on your 5800s. You can buy here the MyPhone Infinite latest version.

OfficeSuite v5.1
If you have been looking for a full fledged office application for your 5800, it must have been a frustrating quest indeed. With the popular office application Quickoffice not supporting touch screen input, there are very few alternatives available in this genre. This is when I came across OfficeSuite v5.1 from Mobisystems, an award winning office suite for s60 fifth edition devices. The application is a complete office suite meeting all your office requirements for a mobile client.
