blink182: Please list all your games here because I can't start searching for good non hd games one after the other from that list.

I'm not really into gaming but I've got alot of HD games installed which I play when I'm free. But I've not played all yet.

I usually download based on their size (above 25mb) except for a few exceptions like angry birds, sudoku, chess and such popular games.

This is the link to the list I wz talking of

http://www.nokiavnn.com/2012/02/hd-games-collection-working-good-on.html?m=0

[quote author=Ogidi-Olu]I'm not really into themes but i love theme effects. Do u use theme effects?[/quote]I'm also not really into themes but I just like having the very best. Currently using Evolve+ which is like the custom Nokia evolve but with more app support. I love it cos of the low ba3 consumption.

Yes I have the effect tweak installed but used it 4 sometime. But I haven't yet seen one dat is just perfect 4 me.
Which one do u use

joeydozzy: wow never knew you guys have these nice and fun apps. thumbs up to you guys cos I dey jealous in a way

Good. Atleast you see we ain't stuck in an archaic app-less world

blink182: The game wont even work n8, the other hd games on n8 fan club are more than enough. The 30 games are their most wanted on n8 fanclub, I can't go through their main list of over 400 games. I believe the most wanted list is enough for me. Thanks.

Yea. I wz just trying to point out that there are over 30HD games. Some of my best games are not all that HD e.g iBomber Or cards but I just love the gameplay

[quote author=Ogidi-Olu]Where do i start from o? Hmmm...ok:

Hear and write- what u say is wat it writes.

Pushups- rily fun app. Just put it under ur chest while doing pushups and it will record the number of pushups u have done. It uses d proximity sensor.

Today- one of my best apps. It tells u events that occurred in the past on the present day u are, birthdays and deaths of famous people on the present day u are, etc.

Widgeleon- write ur name on the home screen with efizzy.

CalQtlator- my best calculator app. Built with Qt, it can act as a (temp, length, area, etc) converter, scientific calculator and number base converter. All u need is just a swipe to change the modes.

Mobile microphone- very nice app. Connect ur phone to a speaker and use ur phone as microphone.

Backwords- record sounds and play it backwords. Quite fun!

Tweetian- the best twitter app yet.

Talking cat[/quote]These ones took me by surprise. I Didn't think there were that much apps that would be this new to me. Although I've come across some of them before e.g tweetian and talking cat but didn't install cos I thought they were just copies.
I wasn't able to find some like today and mobile microphone.

Would love to see your favourite themes

blink182: Please can I view sites with live streaming data like www.betonmarket.com, livescore.com, etc. I mean with the data streaming like on pc.

Also will the 16gb +8gb memory card be enough for all these softwares, the hd games-about 30 @ N8 fan club and every other thing I need to install?

My pictures and videos will be in my  as I download except for the few I snap with the N8.

I think so. I checked the betonmarket site and wz able to stream a video there within the browser. But I'm not using 3G so it wasn't that smooth with gprs. If it wz some other sites like youtube or cnn it wld have streamed it through the video player.

It should be enough. I've got 8 + 32gb and usually install apps and games on the internal memory (i.e E while F: is for my media, films, pics e.t.c. Also, I've got more apps than what I posted here. Although E: is already filled up and about 2 games are now on my memory card which. If you're using n8 then you may not install tintin which will give you 1gb free space.
I think there are more than 30HD games working on belle. Check nokiavnn.com, they've got a list of all HD games working on belle.

dragnet: mMm... Links to the apps??

Like he said check Ovi store. Or Google it using the app name + n8fanclub Or Nokiavnn.com e.g 'netqin antivirus + n8fanclub'

Ikenna351: I30k

Ikenna.

Ok. Dats quite expensive. I think it will be cheaper (about the price of galaxy s3) when it becomes more available.
Anyway, I think I will wait till September and see what Nokia has to offer.

If you're new to belle perhaps u could check d symbian^3 apps thread and make a pick of some cool apps.

walcolm: is anybody still using symbian OS?


dawg, there's no comparison! even Apple's iOS is shaking in the face of the awesomeness called ANDROID ....#nuffsaid

Is it that you can't read. Well for the 100th time let me say it

GIVE REASONS!!!

It really doesn't sound smart if after 7 pages you people keep repeating thesame thing

*double post deleted*

Luluvich: hold up...so are you saying blackberry is better because it has more users? apart from the bbm, I don't see anything tangible in it. as for symbian, it was king....but the software has become a dinosaur. as good as symbian is, its living on borrowed time. besides, the issue of apps is more of a personal thingy. if you're looking for specific apps like ubersocial, LiveProfile or aldiko, symbian will be found wanting. thats why for my personal fun, I use android while I use a symbian device, Nokia E6 for business.

I have not said which OS is better. I was just trying to show him that saying that android is better because it has more users is baseless.

The issue of apps on android is not just personal- its their biggest selling point.

I really don't know what you mean by specific apps. Is it apps bearing thesame name or what? Cos everything you listed have their options on symbian. If you're looking for same names, then there are alot of apps on symbian e.g Microsoft apps suite that are only on symbian. This does not mean that android doesn't have variants.

Now to the apps you listed
Adilko- there are plenty eBook readers for S^3 e.g eBook reader and ionic with varying functionalities.
LiveProfile- I think it has a beta version. Moreover, there are others which are better, more widely used and compatible e.g 2go, whatsapp, nimbuzz, fb chat e.t.c. Sincerely speaking, I don't know anyone using liveProfile. The 4 I listed are more than enough for my instant messaging.
Uber Social- got loads of better twitter clients. Not dat I use twitter that often.

But does it mean that after 6 pages you people cannot come up with tangible reasons especially out of your 400,000 apps.
If I was to give reasons why a symbian is better than java, I would be done in at most 2 posts. Its really disturbing cos apart from more games and maybe video chat (which I've never wanted to use and which is currently in development) there is nothing else.
If android was truly better, giving reasons would be easy

The thread is up. If you wanna discuss S^3 apps this is the link

The thread is up. If you want to discuss your apps

Although I love using useful apps, I would try to limit myself to those I use frequently. May add more later which I don't use that much but consider important.

1. Nokia maps- undoubtedly the best map for mobiles. Love the voice guidance and the way it shows ur pics on the location where they were taken.

2. Nokia internet radio- when I get bored of my songs. Also has quite a number of local stations

3. Play via radio- broadcast songs from my mobile to a radio

4. Nokia mail client- up to 6 mail addresses. Can set the retrieval frequency. Also love the large scrollable widget

5. Microsoft apps- everything office from OneNote, Lync 2010, Document Connection and PowerPoint Broadcast, Word Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile and Excel Mobile.

6. Stock browser, opera mobile and mini

7. Nokia social (also love the large scrollable widget and contact integration), gravity, 2go, whatsapp, nimbuzz

8. Shazam- tags and searches songs.

9. You tube HD- watch and download Youtube vids in different formats incl MP3

10. Nokia drop- push stuff from PC to phone

11. SPB TV- watch live TV stations. Esp when I have free data or wifi

12. Music kloud- search and download songs

13. Nokia sleeping screen- displays images on the sleeping screen which can be customized. Don't know how Nokia made it to consume very little power.

14. Mee Bible- provides various versions for free. Also written in Qt format

15. eBookReader- my best eBook reader. Also in Qt

16. CNN app and rss feeds with scrollable widgets

17. Baby Monitor- quite useful when I travel and may have to stay with a baby. Calls a preset number when a preset sound level is reached.

18. Nokia car mode- makes using your phone while driving very easy.

19. Thumbnail folders- iOS like folder appearance

20. NetQin antivirus

21. Call guard- prevents me from accidentally ending a call

22. Barbell gym tracker- very useful app for workouts

*Advanced device locks- locks apps
*Merrim Webster dictionary - love the voice dict
*power saving vibration- allows vibration in power saving mode
*swipe keyboard- accepts swipe gestures and is pretty fast.
*quick cam- launches cam from lock screen
*Thumbnail folders- gives me an iOS like folder apparance
*Extended menu grid- a tweak which changes the menu arrangement to 4*5 apps
*TTPOD- music player with lyrics
*joikuspot- wifi tether to several devices
*foot zoomer- change fonts
* music key- control the music player with locked screen
*Audiowave- change songs with just a wave over the proximity sensor
*call recorder and mp3 cut.
*tie a tie
*ximad quote apps

Before I start, I would first list some apps. Perhaps not the everyday app but they are usually the first I install after any format. They really improve the ease of use.

1. Quick launch and quick apps panel- provide a drop down of 5 preset apps on each side of the screen by simply passing my hand over the proximity sensor.

2. Go to menu- shows the task switcher when I swipe from left to centre of the screen and shows the home screen when its from left to right

3. Dzlock- locking and unlocking the phone from any app by simply sliding at the base of the screen or double tapping the proximity sensor

4. Belle extra buttons- adds 2 extra buttons between the 3 traditional ones at the base of the screen. They can be set to a range of apps e.g restart, close open apps, e.t.c including a pop up window.

5. Scroll patch- provides continuous scrolling at the starting speed. Elegant esp when viewing the gallery or in the menu

With the 5 above, you can get to almost any part of your phone or open any app with at most 2 swipes

This is a thread for symbian^3 apps (Anna, belle and belle fp1) apps you use quite often and consider useful- Not necessarily your favourites.

PLEASE THIS IS FOR SYMBIAN^3 USERS ONLY. NOT A PLACE TO START ANOTHER ARGUMENT. THERE ARE ALREADY COUNTLESS THREADS FOR THAT.

ahmmyreal: lol.. symbian better than android? this question shouldn't be asked. the difference is clear! I guess you haven't used a good android phone before comparing symbian to android. symbian is dead. you should be com pairing iOS to Android and not symbian. on Android u can install computer OS, can u do that on symbian? what will u be doing with a 32mp camera phone? when it is not a digital camera. seriously you need to do some digging before posting.

Is it that you people don't read or what?

I did not say which one is better.
If you think android is better then GIVE REASONS rather than repeating what several people have repeated.

Coming to the Computer OS, I don't understand it. Can you tell me the Computer OS you install on android?

Ikenna351: Am now a proud owner of brand new Symbian running Nokia 808 PureView. I bought it this evening here in Abuja, at Wuse II.

Man! This phone is something else. 41 megapixel is something one would never imagine that a symbian phone would have. Yet, am staring at it, right in front of me. I love Nokia.

From the shop I bought it, they had only two: a black & a white colour. I chose/picked the black. So the white is remaining. But am not sure it will stay in that shop beyond tomorrow.

Kudos to Nokia for this powerful Symbian device!

Ikenna.

Man stop tempting me o

I'm will try and wait till Nokia world in September to see which direction symbian is going and the new devices they would release but that phone is something else
BTW how much is it? I've been trying to ascertain the price locally

[quote author=Ogidi-Olu]Yes man! Let's make this thread for complaints about our devices. Pls jedisco, open it but remember to include 'belle' o [/quote]Yes will specify. Guess I will open it this night

brianromel: Ten men from Mushin trying to tell a thousand men that moved from mushin to park view that mushin is better than park view....... How do you think it will go.

Someone said, android is apps are hype, and that how many have we used.

Bro, the little i have used,(which is a lot) on my lg p350, still tells me android is better, feels better, acts better than a nokia.

Hell because of the little experience i had, i went and bought an android tablet.

Not trying to dis u nokia boys, but seriousily a lot of android users today where former nokia boys(symbian and java alike).

So from experience i have from my symbian phones(3650,5230,N95,E6) and java phones(3110c,5220 expressmusic,) my dingy Lg android phone wipes the floor with the lot of them.

This is from experience, park view(android) rocks.

Well I get it. To you android is better because you feel its better.
But its worrisome that you can't name those apps.
Like I said I don't have an android phone but if for once I wanted to go with this 400,000 apps which is the highest selling point of android (as flash has stopped supporting android starting from jelly bean), does it mean that you can't mention tangible apps that would make me want to change to android?
If you've been into apps for long, you would have noticed that once you get to a particular number 99% of what is left are not new and just pirated or substandard copies or simply bloatware. I think symbian has reached that point. The only difference is in maybe games but like I pointed out before, there are quite alot available for symbian.

Well the devices you mentioned are the major reason why symbian is where it is today. It took too long for Nokia to really upgrade symbian and so the opposition stole in.

But as of today, I feel the difference is not much with the current belle fp1. Especially when you consider that the android devices that give you a good experience are the expensive ones.

I would also not take you telling me that android is better cos they have more users. In most developing countries, BB is still leading the market.
In Nigeria, its BB, symbian then others.
But if android was really superior in all aspects as you claim, you shouldn't have a problem giving me examples

fweshboi: i want to get a new phone,my nokia e6,am nt happi wit it,becos the battery does not give me joy.
I want to jst change.
Can u suggest any good phone i can get.
I was planing to get nokia n8..but i know hw i can cope with the touch screen.
I was also planing to get samsung galaxy 2,they said the battery does not even last up to day with normal use...
Advice me plx..i hve used e72,i sold cos of the ram problem..

I think you should state the price range of the phone you expect to buy, what you expect to get from the phone (in order of preference) and if you have any preference.
Then I would know what to tell you

Mafia4life: Bros nor talk am ooo. There are MANY, I mean PLENTY things andriod can do that my beloved symbian cannot do.

I'm quite curious cos I haven't owned an android device before although I have used it.

Perhaps you should outline those many or rather plenty things you are referring to.
Maybe about 10 out of the lot to start with

Hey folks!
Wz thinking of opening a thread for favourite symbian^3 apps. Perhaps we could just list favourite apps (and maybe games and themes).

What do you guys think? Or should we do it here

naptu2: I can't get a pic of Shagari (or Shonekan), but you saw Dr Omoigui's quote, Nnamdi Azikiwe and Olusegun Obasanjo (I can also get you James Robertson) = there's a precedent.

Are you still replying him? Its very clear that he has nothing else to say which is typical of blind critics.

The girl is really HOOTTTT!

Who tok say to get money no make sense?

dragnet: it was d spambot that banned you''

The SpamBot banned jedisco for this post at Yesterday at 08:40:19 PM. Ban expired at Yesterday at 09:40:19 PM

I was really surprised. Well thanks for the clarification

One of the true revolutionary devices I've seen in a long time. Came out with specs no one could have imagined.

I have read reviews about it and one striking feature is that every site (even symbian hating ones) say the camera cannot be compared with that on any other phone. Infact gsmarena went on to compare it with DLSRs and gave a pretty nice review on it

Even if its the last symbian device (which I really doubt), I think it would be a wonderful farewell to a legendary OS- the OS that introduced smartphones to most of us.

Would have loved to get one especially since the new windows 8 cannot accommodate above 20MP. But it does not have a higher processing power than my 701 although it has a screen. Would have loved it to have a higher screen resolution and maybe 4.2 inches.

Well I guess I would have to wait for the FP2 update to Belle and Nokia show coming up in September to know which direction Symbian is heading or whether I will switch to windows.

But all in all, this is a device worth having. It gives us a break from the mad RAM, pixel increase and dual core chase that seems to be the only thing changing in new phones.
It brings true innovation

Donmeca: Don't mind d "progressives" from Nigeria lecturing Americans on d beauty of democracy. Last year d youths thru OUR TIME wanted to extract commitments from GEJ who was 70% sure of winning d electio den. D same people condemned that move...I also did! But it baffles me that d same people are praising d use Banky, a musician in d same mould of D'Banj. To interview a governor who is bn tipped for presidency in d next election. Funny world!!!

It just reminds me of the incident sometime ago when it was rumoured that PDP wanted to invest in the Oil and Gas industry to have an independent source of funds and not rely on politicians (BTW I'm indifferent to this move). It baffled me that when I saw several people criticizing them, cos I know those same people would have heaped praises on Fashola and Tinibu if it was ACN that came up with that idea under the disguise of not putting pressure on politicians to use personal or state funds to run the party.

Dis Guy: sorry do i know you? where did i call myself the 'opposition' you're a scum!

you eediot, this isnt a Governor 'trying' to reach a certain class of people
this is a documentary about democracy and fashola is the guest of the producer
Banky W- the host- is not being paid by the governor for 'election' campaign

the Governor is not the 'subject' of this documentary!!
heck the number of dumb people have certainly increased since this incompetent malu became president!
now Bleep off and stay off the smoked fish

You don't need to use insults to cover your intellectual paucity.
All you said does not cover up the fact that this is a publicity stunt by the Governor just like in GEJs case. What I find amusing is the ease with which you defended this.

Like I said, to prove you are not a hypocrite why not answer the simple question.
What would have been your reaction if GEJ was the one being interviewed?

jason123: This was organised by a US based development institution while GEJ's was done for popularity...learn d difference

So according to you its ok cos it was organised by a US based organisation.

I hope you know that GEJ was trying to reach a certain group of people during the elections.

Like I asked the guy above, let me also ask you what would have been your response
if this documentary was done on GEJ.

This is the same reason why I laugh when you people try to paint ACN as saints and PDP as demons.

You all are a bunch of hypocrites who would do worse if they got the position

Dis Guy: this isnt an advert for election this is a DOCUMENTARY ABOUT DEMOCRACY

You are really pounding pathetic and biased. Just listen to yourself.
Well... Using your mindset, I could say GEJ was trying to reach a certain class of people.

Or rather what would have been your response if this documentary was done on GEJ.
And you call yourselves 'the opposition'
