Series 40 – App Galore

by Farhan on October 5, 2009

Symbian Series 40 had always been considered a poor man’s Smartphone  for which only Java based applications were available , with the passage of time , S40 also grew along with S60 as a mature OS and been featured in mid tier phones was the preferred OS for the masses .

Realizing it’s mass market potential , Nokia didn’t slouched on launching Apps for S40 and the OS which was previously compatible with wap.getjar.com , now got it’s own OVI Store application featuring a few startup applications which although small in number greatly enhances the productivity of the phone .

Currently , the following Apps are available for Free on OVI Store for S40 ( checked on Nokia 6700 Classic Phone )

  • Facebook
  • Map My Tracks
  • 15 items
  • Locify
  • Papaya
  • Mo-call s40

Don’t be disheartened with such a small number of Apps , there are more in development and many are available outside OVI Store realm like Opera 5 Beta for browsing and Twibble for Twitter .   The video below will give you the idea on how powerful S40 is with it own Facebook application at par with that on S60v5

 

 

Are you on S40 , which applications are you using , do discuss in comments
