With so many phones running Sybian based OS’ we look at six of the useful and entertaining Sybian applications available.
Symbian is the operating system behind the majority of 3G phones that fall short of Windows Mobile type smartphone size and functionality. While Symbian’s requirements mean phones running the OS tend to be a little bigger than their more basic counterparts, Symbian enabled phones offer a healthy balance between functionality and size.
If you’re unsure as to whether or not your phone runs Symbian OS, you can check the list of devices that do, here. This list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s one of the best available. The first Symbian application we’ll look at is the purely practical FExplorer.

I looks like you completely forgot Mobipocket Reader (www.mobipocket.com). It supports all Symbian phones, is pretty nice and it is the only reader that will give you access to all the real ebooks: Da Cinci Code, Michael Connelly, Stephen King, Michael Crichton ...
(to be fair, I must mention that I am CEO of Mobipocket.com, but check your research, Mobipocket is the #1 mobile reader out there)
Another handy app just released is TextQuick from http://www.mind-flip.com/. It speeds up text messaging by listing your contacts by popularity, really suprising that this isn't in the default S60 UI.
I have just installed the TextQuick app also - really make my life so much easier. Just goes to show that the simplest ideas are often the best. This should defo be on your list Marc.
