Five Most Useful Free Applications for N73

Here I am listing the five most useful freeware applications for N73 that doesn’t need an internet connection. So it can be useful for anyone with an N73.

The listing is in arbitrary order:

1. SpotOn :- This application changes your N73 into a handy torch lite by controlling the Camera LED flash light. Besides, it can also control the screen backlite so that you can keep the display on.

This is a very lite (less than 25 KB) and pretty useful application considering that the alternative commercial program NTorch costs 6.57€.

2. DivX Player :- DivX is the most popular type of video compression and we surely need an application that can play DivX/Xvid videos in our Nokia N73. There are commercial applications like smart movie which costs above $30. But what we need is a free player, and this one do exactly that. It can play DivX encoded files with subtitle support. The interface is good. You can control volume, seek forward and rewind from the joy stick alone.
