• password manager
• built for speed
• power scrolling

Google Maps

Download or visit google.com/gmm on your phone

With a host of new features added to Google Maps for mobile Google Maps is an another application which one should have installed on your Nokia E71 or E71x.

The new features include

• street view (since Street View has gone international it is no more restricted to users in USA)
• request walking directions (in addition to driving and public transit) to get anywhere on foot,
• receive transit alerts from participating public transportation authorities,
• see what other people think of a place by reading reviews directly on your phone
• new interface for smaller learning curve.

 

Read an earlier post which had a detailed review of Google Maps for Nokia E71

Ovi Maps deserves a mention but personally I would recommend Google Maps over Ovi Maps.

 

  Mobbler

Download

Mobbler is an application that allows you to stream your channels for Last.fm. Last.fm is a social music website that allows you to specify your favorite type of music then it streams those artists and similar artist to your customized radio stations.

To quote the Mobbler website

Mobbler, Mobile Scrobbler, is a last.fm radio player and scrobbler for Nokia S60 3rd edition smartphones. It allows you to listen to your last.fm radio stations and to scrobble tracks played using the Nokia S60 Music Player. Music player scrobbling can be done both whilst you listen, or queued offline to be submitted later.

 If you have not tried Mobbler give it a try and I would say it is one of the best music application available for Nokia E71 and Nokia E71x
