I'll have fun with this when my N73 arrives. It will also be interesting to see what add-ons Apple eventually come up with for the iPhone since extending functionality like this is a potential "must-have" field imho.

I really don't know why Symbian doesn't have this feature. I've a Nokia 6600 and doesn't have that too, and it continues...

cheers for the list Eugenia! Sun, 28 Jan 2007 13:51:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (hurricanechristian) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?206656 http://osnews.com/thread?206656 this is a good site dedicated to symbian v3 apps. http://www.symbianv3.com/

about the autolock thing. I cannot even enter a lock code on my e61. It says in the book that the default code is 01234 but when i enter that code to try and change it or even lock the phone i just get a message that says code error. i thought this was supposed to be fixed in the new firmware.

I concur with Autolock being at number one. It is pretty indispensable, because I find the locking mechanisms on Nokia's phones to be less than perfect and not exactly easy to use or set up.

An honourable mention is also worthy of OggPlay (http://symbianoggplay.sourceforge.net/). Using that and Internet Radio actually turns my phone into the universal smart phone and media device that all these companies say exists, but doesn't.

These are J2ME apps that work on any cellphone, they are not native Symbian apps like this article mentions. Besides, at the bottom of my article I link to another article that has these J2ME apps anyway.

It is bare bones and ad-supported, but the only one that kinda works and it's free. There are no free native Symbian apps for MSN. Both IM+ and AgileMessenger cost money.

However, as far as I know, there are no phones using Feature Pack 1 on the market.

There are several freeware MSN clients for the the s60v3 platform:

I am using the a client developed by Nokia Hong Kong:

It's pretty basic, but I didn't really expect more functionality.

N73 is a pretty good phone, so far I am very happy with it. It does have a few minor annoyance though, like not being able to create subfolders in the menu section.

Too bad that N73 doesn't run s60v3 FP1:

However, I've not been to happy with this app. I found Microsoft Reader on PPC perfect for books on the small device.

Any other alternatives to Qreader (apart from the one mentioned in the article?) Mon, 29 Jan 2007 06:08:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (asharism) Comments http://osnews.com/thread?207154 http://osnews.com/thread?207154 Ahhh it would appear you are correct.

My mistake. Mon, 29 Jan 2007 23:21:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (smeat) Comments
