Show me you apps...

Too much talk about firmware and debranding round here. Let’s get down to actually using the damn phone.

On the recommendation of a thread about browsers I recently installed Opera Mini...and think is absolutely brilliant! I am sure that you lot have pimped out you N95's with many similar, spectacular applications and here is your chance to spread the love...

So, what apps do you run? Don’t forget to link us up whenever possible! I'll go first...

Shozu is possible the coolest thing I have on my phone at the moment. I am a complete whore for internet based services and this app lets me connect to pretty much every one I use via my phone. Great integration with native applications like the camera and all for free!

I have mentioned it in another thread, but the mobile DivX software is, for my money. the simplest and most effective mobile multimedia solution. I know there is big love for Coreplayer, but let's be honest, the interface is absurbd and it's none too stable. Mobile DivX just works, from convertion to playback, no messing.

In my spare time I am a Goon (if you have stairs in your house you will know what I am talking about.) This has lead me to discover Internet Radio in the form of the Nokia Internet Radio playing GBS FM. It's on every day!

Your turn....

Good thread, maybe I can pick up some nice apps.

I've got:
mobitubia - app for viewing youtube videos (free)
Quake and Quake world - game (free)
opera mini - web browser (free) (had mobile but havent reinstalled it)
google maps - map program that can sync with GPS (free)
ir remote - remote control app (not free)
joikuspot - turn your mobile into a wifi hotspot (free)
barbelo- wifi scanner (for wardriving) (free)
Bloover 2 - Bluetooth auditing tool (free)
BT Info aka superbluetooth hack - exploits bluetooth vulns (free) (i am not linking to this)
Internet radio - connect to internet radio broadcasts (free)

I've recently reinstalled my firmware so alot of my apps are not back on the phone yet.
Some of those other apps are:
Voicemode - compile any text message by voice (not free)
Nokemote - Turn your n95 into a wii remote (free, signing required)
Coreplayer - divx and video player (not free)
Geocache Navigator - for geocaching, uses GPS (free)
Y Browser - file browser (free)
Symtorrent - torrent sharing (free)

I think that was about it.
