It often lost the GPS (on E71) and the Arrows at crossings are so big that you can´t see where you have to drive. Sygic is a lot better for me. I used garmin and hated it.

For googlemaps I use "map24 symbian". This client from map24 (by the way the desktop version is much faster than gmaps) has also POIs like restaurants. Opera / Opera Mini is the best browser. (Desktop, Mobile, everywhere) "Profimail" is from Lonelycatgames, a small talentent company who knows whats ergonomy. Profimail is a great email client with mighty features. "Slick" is also from Lcg and is like fringe. I used fringe a short time but slick was for me way better. And its also free. "X-plore" is also from LCG and its definitively the best file manager for symbian. To open zips and rars like folders is just one feature. It shows images, has a hex editor and plays mp3. "Kylom Project" is a simple brainstorming tool to create lists. It could be more handy, but I found no alternative. All "App starting by typing"-Apps like T9nav or SkyQuiKey. But unfortunately they have bugs with my E71. BUT luckily theres "Handy Taskman" that also have such functions. Start the taskman and type the app you want. I also like: Sygic Mobile Maps (Nokia Maps Alternative) Papyrus (Nice calendar alternative with icons and many options) WeFi (Automatic find and connect WiFi spots) Xrick (the old rick dangerous game for s60) Hi

I share all my files on my phone with my friends and my family with a simple Mobile Internet access. Since I got a Nokia powerful enough (symbian s60 2nd or 3rd generation) I really send every thing on my personal page on mobicue.com And true, I prefer Nokia Map for the moment. Let's see if Google will improve the current api. Steve Instead of Twitter, Joiku or Fring, I personally use Mobicue.com and the application (MobicueUpdate).
