Some great apps that make my N80 wort its price :D

Well, in this post
I’ll talk about some little apps (Some are built-in) that makes my N80 more useful for me, there are many others that I can talk about other day, but I think these are the ones I use most of the time …

When I got my N80 I was trying to read some of my e-books using its built-in word and pdf readers, but the fonts, and text distribution on the screen ware not very good, and ware
not helping me to read anything …

This week I just found this site with the great Mobi Reader for download …
There is a bundled desktop application that helps you to convert and synchronize all your e-books, and even has the option for you to buy new e-books …

The process is very simple, you download the application to your desktop, connects your device
(there are versions for other platforms too), selects what e-books you want in your device (you can convert word and PDF documents), and after you sync it you can see the bellow screens in your N80 …

The Mobi Reader list of e-books available.

After you select your e-book, you can see the text, navigate, select text, create bookmarks …

This is the second option, if you do not like the full screen view …

One of the greatest features for me, is that after you close the application, and reopen it, the e-book you ware reading is exactly in the same page, what makes it a lot easier to read

Other great app, but very simpler than the first, is the S60SpotOn, I found it just after my wife wondering why this great cell phone does not has the light option that her old 1100 had
…
This app just solved the problem …

You can start the app

And then use your flash light to make your way in the dark

The next app is one of the greatest I have found, but is just helps me to know what is running right now in my phone when I got that scary message telling me that I have no more
memory available …

This life saver app is Handy Taskman

The next one is just a cool app that every N80 owner gets with the phone, it`s name is Lifeblog
…

When I first opened it, I was thinking that I would be able to use it to write posts in one of my blogs (this one, this about java in Portuguese, or this about java in English), but you can not do that, because Lifeblog uses another strange proprietary protocol, but Flickr is always a lifesaver, they joined nokia and now you can post photos directly from your Lifeblog to your Flickr account …

The process is very simple, just log into your Flickr account, and access the address: http://www.flickr.com/tools/mobile click on the Lifeblog link and get your URL and password (that is different from your flickr default password) …

Open Lifeblog and select “publish to web”

Accept to create a new blog account when prompted, enter your username, password and the URL provided …

Select what access point you want to use, if it is a GPRS access point I suggest you to turn the
optimize images option on.

Select the blog account just created.

Write some title and description to your photo

And hit Options/publish

After that wait a little and your photos are already online …

Yes, I know, Shozu is a lot easier to use if you want your pictures on Flickr

After playing with it a little, I just found that I needed a easy way to control where my money go in the end of the month/year …

But I`m not exactly the “organized” kind of person, so I need an easy way to record what I spend and where I spend my money, and after I tested some apps for Symbian and Java ME, the only usable option I could find was Handy Expense

is has a good UI for entering expenses

Some report options

And some useful reports …

The only bad thing I found about this app, is the missing option to sync it with a desktop companion …

It has an option to export a report to an excel sheet, but you cannot import it in any desktop app
that I know, but I`m working in some excel macros to import it in my money control sheets

But it would be great if this app has some option to export the data in QIF or OFX formats …

And the last, but not least is the bundled music player, it is not a perfect multimedia application,
but I spend a lot of time listening to my MP3 collection while far from my computer, and my N80 is just perfect for it …

The only thing I miss in this app, is the ability to transfer some playlists from my PC to my N80
…

Well, this is my list of apps, that I use almost every day, now I leave some questions …

Is there any better multimedia app for N80 phones? I want one that I could synch with my PC,
transfer playlists, and if possible, use only one app to play music and video files
Second, is there any other financial APP for N80 that I can use and synch with a desktop app?
And last, but not least, can I use my N80 as a remote control for my TV, and Sound?

Thanks for every one that could read to here

And happy new year for you all …
