Top 10 Free Applications for your Internet Enabled Nokia N73

5. Yahoo GO 2.0:-

The good: Lots of contents, neatly organized, nice interface.
The bad: No Messenger, slow

Typical usage: Under 1 MB per day. i.e 30MB per month

Recommended for all users.

4. Mobi Pocket Reader:- This is from Amazone and is one of the best application for book lovers. The font is very crisp and is easy to read on your mobile. You can buy new books and read it on your Nokia N73. You can also convert pdf/office documents etc and transfer to your N73 using the desktop tool.

Typical Usage:- Based on the size of the book you want to buy. Average book size is between 1 to 5 MB.

Recommended for any user who is interested on reading ebooks.

3. EQO Mobile / Fring :- If you want to chat with your friends or call them using skype you need this application. These are two different applications. I am listing it as one because it is for the same purpose with each having its own advantages.

If you are into Skype and voice calling then, Fring is the best. it uses VOIP. But if all you want is to text chat with your friends on various messengers (Yahoo, MSN, google talk, ICQ etc) then EQO is better.

Read more on EQO.

I am planning to write more about Fring. For the time being you can check more about Fring at their website.

Typical Usage: If you want to voice call your friends using Fring then it is going to be heavy on the data usage.

Voice calling is recommended for users with unlimited data plan only. (If you have a Wifi enabled handset like the Nokia N80 then you could use it on a WiFi hot spot with better voice clarity. Well Nokia N73 doesn’t feature WiFi :(

If you are into text based chat only, it is recommended for any user.

2. Mobizines:- If you like reading about technology, fashion, sports or anything this is the application for you. You can subscribe to many mobizines. A mobizine is nothing but an optimized version for your mobile. Most of them are updated daily. The list includes T3, Maxim, Gadget Candy, Glamour, Pocket Lint, Total Film etc. And the list is counting…

Typical usage: The contents are in a compressed format. So the bandwidth usage is very less.

Highly recommended for any users with a data plan. It won’t cost much even if, you are on a very tight data plan.

1. Shozu:- Shozu is one of the best application available for mobile phones. It offers many thing. You can subscribe to ZuCasts. A ZuCast can be videos, images etc.

You can share contents via YouTube, Flickr or through many blogs. Well one downside here. It doesn’t support the new Blogger2 platform. If you’re still using the old one, then it will support it.

You can limit the download size or schedule the download. Thus you can save by downloading at non peak hours (most data plans will feature a low rate for usage on non peak hours).
