Hey there! Do you have a Nokia N95/N95-8GB? Well, this is the perfect place for you to start giving your cell phone a better use.
I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, so go ahead and drop me a line!
Check out this magic trick done with an N95 and a coin! If you want start performing the same show with your phone, get the application here, or scan the code below to get it straight to your device.
If you are looking to browse the web using a different browser than the one that comes pre-installed on the N95, Opera has launched the new Opera Mini 4.2. This version comes with unique features, like the option to personalize the skin of the browser and synchronize your notes. It also offers video support, meaning that you will be able to watch videos from YouTube and several other sites that offer similar services. Get it here, or scan the code below from your device.
It is my opinion that there isn't a fully efficient Twitter application for S60 devices, but there are some decent ones like Twibble, Twitteresce, and Fring.
Twibble
Twibble is a software developed by a German company. It obviously allows you to update your Twitter status, besides that it also gives you the chance to update your location using the built-in GPS- the bad part of this feature is that when your contacts see your update that contains your location, they only find your coordinates instead of a link that would take you to Google Maps or something like that, you can only find yourself in map if you are using the twibble desktop software. Get the application here, or scan the code below to get it straight to your phone.
Twitteresce
This one is a simple application. You post your updates, and can also see what the people you follow are up to but nothing else. Not that great since it fails to login very often and drains your battery. Download it here, or scan the code below to get it.
Fring
Finally, there is Fring. This application is mainly designed to use Skype with your mobile, but they have added the option to post your twitter updates as well. The good part (or anoying part, as you wish) is that you get real-time updates of what the people you follow are posting, so unless you mute your phone it can drive you crazy. Get Fring here.
Are you familiar with last.fm? It is a radio service that allows you to listen to virtually any song in the world, you just have to create yourself an account with them, and type the name of the track you desire. If you don't have an account, hurry up and go to www.last.fm to get one. Why? well, the application Mobbler that runs on the N95 allows you to listen to use your last.fm account- that is, to have any song using only your mobile!
The program gives you the ability to create playlists, and share your favorite songs with other users. The sound quality is really neat, and I say this is one of the best N95 music applications there is. Download it here, or even better, scan the code below to get it straight to your cell phone.
If you were looking for an application that will allow you take a picture of what you see on the screen of your phone, then Screen Shot is the right one for you. Download it here, or scan the code below to get it straight from your device:
I took the following pictures using this application on my device:
This is how the application looks like when you open it. You use the camera key to capture the images.
This is how the main screen of my phone is like:
This is how I have arranged the menu of my phone:
Finally, this is a picture I took while using QIK:

Nokia Friend View can be considered the Twitter of Nokia. It is a service that allows you to update your location and micro-blog, while staying in touch with your friends. You can update your status from wherever you are and your contacts will be able to see your location as well.

Starting this Monday, November 10th, every owner of a cell-phone with a built-in GPS, will be able to participate in the UC Berkeley's Mobile Millenium project. researchers from UC Berkeley's College of Engineering, the Nokia Research Center, and UC Berkeley's California Center for Innovative Transportation are the ones running the operation.
The project is designed to monitor automotive traffic in a revolutionary way. Every person who owns a device with GPS will have to download a software and activate it while driving, this way the information will be sent to a database. It is intendedto improve safety and reduce congestion on the roadways.
If you are interested in participating visit the project'swebsite. Also if you will or are taking part of the program please leave a comment telling more about this extraordinary idea.
The new company Coolafone, gives enviromentally-conscious cell phone users the opportunity to recycle their old devices in exchange of juicy rewards. For example, when turning an N95 in decent conditions, people get a free night at a luxurious hotel, older phones can be traded for a few iTunes and smaller goods. It seems to me like an amazing idea, what do you think? take a look at the site here.
With the help of Wwigo, you can turn your N95 into a wireless webcam. The only thing you need is a bluetooth connection between the PC and the phone. Get the application here and start using it.
