Your Most Favourite Applications
Jaro 5. November 2007 :: application, freeware
Some time ago I asked you What’s your favourite S60 application?. The response was amazing, you mentioned a total of 53 applications! I collected the data and sorted them. The result is a list of the most popular applications voted by you – the readers. I hope this list will help you to find some new interesting applications.
Three Most Popular Applications
1. Opera Mini – this is an absolute winner. Opera Mini is a web browser which takes different approach in displaying websites. When you visit a website via Opera Mini it is first run through the Opera servers and only then is displayed on your phone. The reason for that is that Opera optimizes the website before displaying it.
2. Handy Clock – powerful world clock and time management application. Handy Clock contains lots of useful features including alarm, timer, world clock, stopwatch, time log and a very interesting day-night map.
3. Profimail – ProfiMail is a powerful e-mail client for mobile devices. It allows you to read your mail on go, and send text with attachments directly from your device. Send photos, recorded sound or simply text messages to friends, from anywhere. Through your mobile Internet connection. Simple.

It surprises me a lot that security software like Phone Guard is not on this list. Don’t you guys worry about your device getting lost or stolen? Don’t you want to protect your data? Don’t you want to have at least a chance of retrieving it? Phone Guard can provide that.
In my opinion it should be Best Taskman…
it gives the phone a very much desired functionality of “one touch easy access shortcut to applications” and its not a memory hog either…In my opinion its a must have…what say ?
I second phone guard as well…difficult to choose between the two.
Also i think you list should include ULTIMATE voice recorder v4 simply because of its James bond style feature of pressing the pen button 3 times to start recording and repeating the same action again to stop.
I must say putty for Symbian is something that can save your day. Doing vi-editing in s2putty, eh… Just yesterday I had experience with it (if you don’t like geeks, don’t read it :):

Calcium calculator is not in the list?!
Ante… indeed, Putty for symbian is great. Restarting a server from your cell phone is just too great.
Best regards,

Liebaart,
Before I go any further, I want to make it clear that I’m not attacking you or Phone Guard – I think that it’s a functional piece of software, and I certainly bear you no ill will. I’m just stating a rebuttal that is valid for me. Others may disagree.
Do I worry about my device getting lost or stolen? Yes, but the best defense here is good habits, not software.
Do I want to protect my data? Yes; that’s why I checkpoint daily to a microSD card, every other day to my desktop machine, and swap microSD cards every week, leaving the spare in my locked desk drawer at the office. This protects against every reasonable eventuality that I could come up with, and it costs me nothing but the effort necessary to adopt good habits.
Do I want a chance at retrieving my device? Well, yes, of course; but realistically, if my device is stolen, I won’t see it again. If I lose it, the serial numbers and IMEI that I wrote down will be far more useful in proving that the device is mine than will any piece of software. Besides, although I take excellent – perhaps obsessive – care of my phone, I recognize that it is a piece of delicate electronics that I will drop in my pocket every day. It will be exposed to heat, humidity, vibration, shocks; its internal memory will eventually run out of wear cycles; the software for it will eventually be end-of-life’d; in short, this is an investment for a year or two, not a lifetime. When I lose the functionality it provides, whether because of hardware failure, obsolescence or theft, I’ll be prepared to move on with a minimum of friction. Phone Guard will not help with this.
And Opera Mini is a phenomenally useful piece of software. I did not rank it above everything else (my vote went to QReader; my next choice would be PuTTY), but it is certainly more useful to me than Phone Guard.
