1. Google Maps
The first really huge third party S60 application to get a full touch makeover, this works superbly on S60 5th Edition, on all phones, in both landscape and portrait modes, and with touch-panning of maps and of the StreetView displays (in countries where this is supported). Version 3.2.1 is the latest and has built-in Latitude (friend-finding), Traffic and Wikipedia (layers) support. It's also terrific as a general purpose location-centric search tool (e.g. find the nearest plumber or pizza or hairdresser).

2. YouTube
Yes, there's now a mobile version of the YouTube main web site, but exactly what it serves up is dependent on the device you use to browse it - and there are the delays caused by having to bring up different pages and by waiting for RealPlayer or Flash Lite to do its thing. Better is to use the dedicated YouTube client for S60 5th Edition. It's fast to search and browse from clip to clip, works over Wi-Fi or 3G and the only trick is in getting hold of it in the first place.
Picture quality is QVGA, scaled up, but it's quite good enough for casual viewing.

3. GMail
The third big Google application, GMail is Java-based, which means that you need to take a trip into Settings> App Mgr >Installed apps and turn off the S60-supplied navigation and function 'keys'. That done though, you've got a fully touch-enabled, full-screen view into your GMail, complete with all features, such as 'Stars', 'Drafts' and your full list of emailed contacts. Try it - it'll work better than you expect.

4. BBC iPlayer
For UK residents only, of course, and almost certainly only really practical while in Wi-Fi range, this presents the best of the BBC's TV output in very high quality, in streaming or DRM-protected download form. There are hundreds of programmes on offer, mostly from the last few weeks, plus a number of radio programmes as well, better for listening on the move since the bandwidth requirements are somewhat lower.
It's the download option, available for many programmes, which really impresses, since you can grab things for watching later while travelling, with no worries over needing expensive connectivity. The DRM isn't a problem as long as you watch your downloads fairly promptly (within a week, usually).

Free IMEI Checker - Check for stolen/blocked phones
Check the Status of your Handset.
This IMEI check only provides details of those phones reported and blocked at the time of the inquiry therefore it is not conclusive. If the owner of the phone does not report it lost or stolen prior to your purchase, the resulting IMEI check cannot identify it as a lost or stolen handset.
All buyers of second-hand mobile phones should request proof of ownership at the time of purchase.

Updating your Nokia's firmware at home.
What is firmware and why should I update it?
Firmware is the software that controls and powers your phone. This includes all the standard applications, the telephony functions, the S60 interface and the underlying Symbian OS. In most firmware updates it is the upper level applications and hardware integration that is updated.
Firmware updates are primarily used in order to fix bugs in the software. This is the reason that you may want to update your firmware. If you find you are having a particular problem with your phone (e.g. getting out of memory error messages, or a function not working correctly) then a firmware update may fix the problem. Firmware updates may also, in some instances include new functionality (e.g. the latest N80 update added the ability to upgrade the firmware over the air).
Generally models purchased early in a device's life cycle have more bugs and problems and there can be considerable benefits from updating these devices. However if you have a device purchased later on in the life cycle (6 months after it becomes available) then you are less likely to need to update the firmware, although you may still wish to do so if you are having problems with the device.
You can find out what firmware version you have by entering *#0000# at the standby (idle) screen. This will show a dialog that lists your phone's firmware version, the date of the firmware and the model of the phone.
How can I update my phone's firmware?
1. Go to the Nokia website and download the Phone Software Update utility. You should also consider reading the FAQ which will help you if you run into problems.
2. Install the software.
3. Optionally, follow the phone backup procedure below.
4. Start the software. The initialisation can take a few moments. Once the software has been initialised you should see this screen:
5.Click Start. Plug in the USB cable to connect the phone to the PC (and choose 'PC Suite', if there's a choice of modes, as will be the case if you're using a S60 3rd Edition device). You should also plug in the power cable to the phone. Updating the firmware can use a lot of power and by plugging in the power cable you ensure that the power does not fail during the update process. If it does your phone may become unusable.
6.Click Next. The software will try and connect to your phone and identify it. Once it has done this it will search for updates through your PC's Internet connection.
7. If no updates are available then the program will inform you. If updates are available then you will see this screen. Tick the acknowledge box and then click Update to start the update process.
8. The software will then download the update from Nokia's servers, before writing the update to the phone. You will see this happen in two stages. The most important stage at which the update should not be interrupted is when writing the update to the phone.
9. Once this stage has been sucessfully completed you will be informed that you have sucessfully updated your phone.
10. Optionally, restore your backup as discussed in the Phone Backup Procedure below.
Notes:
* In some cases (including one of our trials) the software may report it has failed to update the software. If this occurs at the end of the process then this may not actually be the case. Reboot the phone (you may need to take the battery out) and check the firmware version. Hopefully all will be well.
* An Internet connection is required to download the firmware update. These firmware updates can be up to 40MB in size (but are usually around half this), which is why broadband is recommended.
* The Phone Software Update is still being tested. If it does not work first time - try again.
* If you receive messages about being unable to recognise the phone, being unable to connect the phone, or that the connection is already in use then you should restart your computer and your phone and try again.
Phone Backup Procedure
Updating the firmware will overwrite any information stored on the internal flash disk (C:). If you wish to preserve this information then you should back it up before updating the firmware. Information stored on the internal disk typically includes data files such as your Contact and Calendar databases, plus application configuration files (including registration codes).
You can use PC Suite to do a full backup or you can use the backup to memory card functionality included on the phone.
Using the phone:
1. Open the Memory application (usually found in the Tools folder).
2. Choose Backup phone memory. This will backup the contents of the internal memory to the memory card. This process can take several minutes.
To restore your backup:
1. Open the Memory application.
2. Choose Options -> Restore from card. Your backup will be restored. This process can take several minutes. At the end of the procedure the phone will restart.
