Top 10 Nokia 5800 Xpress Music applications

Having just upgraded my handset to the shiny new Nokia 5800 Xpress Music aka Tube, I thought it good to do a post showing the applications I have personally found to be the most useful on my 5800.

There are currently not many applications that support this sexy handset but given some time I am sure many new apps will become available.

Please note that my list of top 10 must have apps for the 5800 includes both free and premium services.

  1. fring - Lets you talk, chat and interact freely between: Skype, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, Twitter, Facebook, GoogleTalk, AIM, SIP, Gmail Notifier, LastFM, Orkut and Yandex
  2. JoikuSpot - Turns your mobile handset into a secure WLAN (Wi-Fi) HotSpot.
  3. Gmail - Google’s free email service - this is the best email service on earth.
  4. Google Maps - Possibly the best free mobile mapping software available.
  5. Opera Mini - The world’s most popular mobile Web browser
  6. File Zip - Easily zip and unzip files on your 5800 - Get it from the download menu on your handset.
  7. Accuweather - The best weather application on the 5800. It’s also in the download menu on handset.
  8. Best Screensnap - A cool application for taking screenshots. In the download menu on handset.
  9. Photoflow - This is a great application for viewing images. In the download menu on handset.
  10. Paint Pad - For those of us who love to draw. Available from the download menu on handset.

This is my current Top 10 and when more applications become available the list will change ;-)

Cool list….I’m loving my new 5800 too.
Love that it picks up wireless well.
Also check out Mobbler to play Last.fm through your handset.
Take a look at STEW - twitter app.
Wattpad for reading and MobilePaint for doodling :)

Only weird thing is that when I view menu as a grid it doesn’t show me app names as per yr screenshot.

Hey Melissa,

Thanx for the comment.
Btw not sure if you know but you can use fring to get tweets and listen to lastFM ;-)

Will check out those apps though, thanx for mentioning them.

Not sure why your grid view is different to mine?
Have you got the blue 5800 or Red?

Thanx again for the comment - please keep the feedback coming, it’s great to have another 5800 buddy in online.
