Managing Music on your 5800 can be a big headache especially if you don’t have a tagged music collection to start with. Add to that the album art incompatibility and absence of the option of tagging the files directly from our 5800s, there is a dire need for an app that can help us organise and manage our music collection on our Xpressmusic 5800s.

While Shazam, is an excellent application to tag music, its feature set is largely limited to just tagging and linking to the tracks in Nokia’s Music store. Midomi is another competing service, which offers value added features like: sharing a song on Twitter or Facebook, links to lyrics, videos, and artist info for free.

Opera, best known for their browsers for both desktop and mobile platforms have just released the beta version of their latest mobile browser- Opera Mini 5. As with every new application on our platform, we gave it a spin and boy, we just love it. Its simply awesome.

While its predecessor- Opera Mini 4 was in itself a revolutionary browser on the mobile platform, Opera just couldn’t cope up with the periodic updates, the symbian browser received via every firmware update. While the symbian browser got faster and got its bugs fixed, the opera mini 4 was left untouched by its developers. Just when we thought the days of Opera on our 5800s are numbered, the folks at Opera are back with an absolute delight with their beta version of the Opera Mini 5. Its not even the full version and we just can’t have enough of it. Roll over and see what makes us say that about this awesome browser from Opera. Read more »
