So now you’ve got hold of your brand new shiny Nokia N8, you’re probably wondering which of the many great apps you should download. The Ovi Store has an ever-increasing range of options to choose from, but what about the essentials? It’s virtually impossible to come up with a definitive list, but after much debate, here are 5 apps we think every proud Nokia N8 user should get their hands on.
Spotify Spotify has had us in musical raptures for some time now. This ‘universal jukebox’ gives you access to a huge library of music, which will have you foot tapping every second of the day.
Spotify streams over both Wi-Fi and 3G, giving you access to practically any song ever made, no matter where you are. Even better is its ability to store your playlists so you can listen to them while completely offline. Now that really is music to our ears.
Gravity Okay, we admit it. We’re addicted to Twitter. If you love the idea of keeping up to date with all your buddies, too, you need Gravity. Recently voted by Ovi Users as their favourite app, Gravity is a fully-featured Twitter client with a fantastic user interface. It supports multiple Twitter accounts, integrates with Foursquare and Facebook and has a Google Reader included. This is one app that really does put the social into your life.
Nokia Panorama Boasting isn’t our style, but what the heck, we’re going to say it anyway. The Nokia N8 is the world’s best cameraphone and Nokia Panorama transforms it into the world’s best panoramic cameraphone. This cool app tells you how to align your pics when you’re scanning the horizon and automatically takes the photos for you once they’re perfectly aligned with the previous ones. Capturing glorious landscapes has never been easier.
Opera Mobile To get the very best out of mobile Web 2.0, you really should give Opera Mobile a go. With more than 70 million users worldwide, and 500 million page views per day, it’s easy to see why Opera Mobile is so popular. Simple-to-use, it comes with a range of cool time-saving features such as tabbed browsing, speed dial, and a password manager. And thanks to its famed server-side compression technology, you’ll be surfing at blistering speed.
Angry Birds There are more and more fantastic games for the Nokia N8 coming out all the time. One that we love and think you will too is Angry Birds. What makes this game so outrageously addictive? Cute graphics, super easy controls, and the ‘one-more-go’ feeling. With hours of gameplay, challenging physics-based castle demolition, and lots of replay value, it’s no wonder that millions of people worldwide have flocked to this game. Who said revenge couldn’t be fun. There you have it. Five fabulous apps that help you enjoy music, networking, surfing, photography and gaming. Can you think of any others that should be challenging for a place? If so, let us know what else makes you appy happy
