With people worldwide, increasingly relying on fast food (read junk food) for most of their daily food intake, obesity is spreading like a wildfire in developing and developed nations. Couple this with sedatory lifestyle of most of the tech jobs today and we have a killer combination. Not surprisingly fitness awareness is on the rise and thanks to Picobrothers, our 5800s now has a fitness application of its own- Heart Rate Monitor.

While the name says it all, Heart Rate Monitor doensn’t convert your 5800 to an online pulse measuring device but it does make your 5800, an ideal accessory for all your heart rate monitoring needs. More details and and screenshots after the break. Read more »

Does Nokia always punish early adopters? Thats the question almost every geek who has ever owned a Nokia device would have asked himself atleast with one of their products. While the saga of Internet tablets from Nokia is a classical example of the Finnish company being hard on early adopters, our very own 5800 hasn’t been spared either.

Nokia 5800, which was Nokia’s first touch screen device was also the first to feature the symbian fifth edition (s60 v5) OS. While s60 v5 has steadily matured into its present version, the number of devices featuring the OS has also increased over the last year. Nokia now has as many as 3 other (5530, N97, X6) models under its s60 v5 hood, all of which feature marginally improved features in the phone OS. Read more »

Fingerprint, yeah we are talking about the same application which makes you look like James Bond or if you prefer Ethan Hunt or whatever secret agent you aspire to be. One of the most “seemingly” sophisticated application got an update from its developers recently.

While followers of our blog are no strangers to this application, which we gave away in one of our Tube 5800 contests earlier. As the name may suggest, the application apparently uses your fingerprint as an unlock code for your 5800. Hit the jump button to know the trick thats driving the application. Read more »

Ever since we say the voice command feature of the iPhone we have been hoping we would get that function on iPhone killer-5800s. We are not actually surprised that the best selling phone in Europe got an app for using voice commands on our 5800s.

Vlingo is one of the coolest apps we have seen on our 5800s. Not only is it an excellent app for controlling your 5800 over a voice commands, it also users to update their status on popular networking sites of facebook and twitter. More details after the break. Read more »

With 5800s coming pre-loaded with an 8GB microSD card ever since its launch, our 5800s have become an convenient portable hard drives for most of us. However owing to the rich media support, a major chunk of our 5800 memory is occupied by mp3s and videos.

While memory information can be accessed in file manager, a simple app displaying memory information in an intuitive manner is  the need of the day. Thanks to Offscreen Technologies, our 5800s now has a very simple but yet useful app- Memory Status Touch. Screenshots and reviews after the break: Read more »

We know the target audience for this app may not be even reading this review but then we know our readers have a kind heart and are more than willing to share this amazing app with our “visually” less fortunate friends.

Braille reader is one of the latest products from Nokia Beta Labs and we must confess this is one of the most innovative apps we have seen in this platform. Not only does the app utilise all of 3.2″ of our 5800 screens but also the haptic feedback has been put to good use for the benefit of the visually impaired. Nokia Braille Reader gives SMS for the blind and visually impaired. It captures received SMS messages and brings them to the foreground for reading using Braille and tactile feedback. Read more »

Its been quite a while since we have been looking for an advanced file manager cum explorer for our 5800s. While we did stumble upon X-Plore from Lonely Cats, a mighty explorer application on its own, there are a couple of things which are still missing in the app. Thats when we came across SBSH’s latest FExplorer Pro.

The latest app from SBSH’s offers more features than you can expect from a explorer app: file searching, zip manager, image viewer, screen capture utility, flashlight, memory defragmenter, advanced phone and network info tools, etc. to name a few. Hit on the jump button for a brief review of FExplorer Pro on Nokia 5800. Read more »

Doesn’t it get boring to be listening to the same old ringtones that came in pre-loaded on your 5800s. With 5800s selling in bucket loads, we like to differentiate ours with that premium ringtone to set our 5800s apart from the crowd.
