And no, don't worry, you don't have to speak French. There's general news, business, culture and weather content here, in pre-edited but regularly updated 10 minute segments, all in either French, English or Arabic, plus a genuinely live stream onto the appropriate language France TV channel. Video quality's not the best by default , but you can change the stream to 'Highest quality' in Settings, after which picture quality is easily up with that of the BBC's iPlayer.

With the dual LED flash system able to be used during video recording, why on earth didn't Nokia let us use the LEDs as a torch when needed?

Why indeed, which is why PhoneTorch is such a little God-send. On devices with the LEDs covered in normal use e. Perhaps a pinnacle of modern software engineering, JoikuSpot turns your S60 phone and its data connection into a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot for other devices of yours to hook into. The premium version has loads more functions and security, but for cheap, cheerful and ad-hoc use, the free 'Light' version does very well, letting you surf away on your laptop, for example, using in this case the Nokia XpressMusic as the hotspot.

Yes, PC Suite also allows through-Internet connections, but isn't is just so cool to be making your own Wi-Fi hotspot? Get it from the Nokia Ovi Store or from Joiku's download page. Fring and As ever, I can't split these two, offering very similar feature sets. So I'm going to let you try both and make your own mind up! Grab both utilities from the Nokia Ovi Store or directly from the developer mobile sites: Get Fring by going to m.

This well known live video capture utility. The quality of its output usually disappoints relative to capturing video with the native Camera app , but hey, if you need to stream live then you need to stream live! Get it from the Nokia Ovi Store or e. This is a Last. It allows you to listen to your Last. Aside from Skype, its one omission, this is perhaps the ultimate instant messaging client for S60, building in every other chat system, including unusually Facebook Chat. There's GPS support too, so that your contacts can see where you are in the world.

Get it from the Nokia Ovi Store or from www. Similar to Worldmate but here compatible with all S60 phones and not just Nokia ones , this offers free travel related functions, including daylight globe, currency conversion and 5 day weather forecast. It's all rather slick and, like Worldmate, Psiloc probably plan to make their money on the premium flight information, coming soon.

The rest of the application is free, however, which is why it's included here. In theory, World Traveler is in the Ovi Store, but it's currently giving an error.

So get it from here. Note that the install is incredibly slow - I'm guessing the SIS file is very complicated and has all sorts of language options which need to be worked through by the OS! It's the paint utility that Nokia forgot to add! Get it from Nokia's site or if you don't like all the Flash here. Yup, it's a full blown Twitter client and a whole heap more friendly than using the Twitter mobile web site each day.

Not in the same league as Gravity but then this is free, after all. Sadly, there's no web-like 'kinetic' scrolling, so you have to use the fiddly scroll bar. Get it from the Nokia Ovi Store or from here. Although shareware, it only has the one 3-second nag screen and there's no time limit to your trial.

A little specialist, to be sure, it's only appropriate to someone visiting London, but it's a slick conversion from paper to pixels as the company name suggests. Browse around the London tube network without having to remember to bring your paper tube map.

Get it from here. This is the original Shoutcast player from a few years ago. It's been minimally updated since, but does work. With its XpressMusic moniker, it'll be no surprise that the is an extremely capable music device. It ticks the important boxes on the hardware front: 3. The stereo speakers are able to output a surprising high volume, though the sound quality is best at half-volume. Sound quality is very good, though, as ever, you'll need to replace the in-box headphones to make the most of it.

Divided between the music library and 'now playing' section, it is a feature rich, but easy to use application. Getting music onto a Nokia phone has never been so easy - it is a first rate program.

Nokia Music also provides easy access to the Nokia Music store on the PC for downloading new music tracks. In this, it is mirrored by the Music store application on the phone which gives access on the move. With its PC client and Music Store now established, Nokia now has an excellent all round music experience for consumers and the is going to be the first S60 handset to benefit from this out of the box.

The will be available as a Comes with Music device. This gives Nokia a significant hook to lure new users to its music ecosystem. One way to look at it is this: for roughly the same price you have a choice between an iPod Touch and a Comes with Music Nokia Both would have their advantages, but the offers arguably more functionality and unlimited music downloads for a year.

In a blind test leaving aside brand and style considerations , it is obvious which solution would come out on top. The 's audio credentials are further burnished by the inclusion of the Podcasting and Radio applications. Podcasting, once you have set up the podcasts you want to listen to, can be left to its own devices. You can access podcasts for playback through the podcast category in the Music player's music library.

Radio is a polished application with automatic station scanning and editable presets, it has also has had a small facelift for S60 5th Edition - once you have tuned into a station, its frequency and name scroll across the screen in a mish mash pattern.

It is a small thing, but is exactly the sort of visual enhancement that it would be nice to see more of in S60 devices. The has a 3. It's not fair to draw definitive conclusions from early hardware, but in general the overall performance is very much middle of the road. It is perfectly sufficient for the odd shot, but not enough to satisfy those looking for more. The dual LEDs provide a reasonable amount of illumination, but as with other camera phones you get the best results in well lit conditions.

Video recording at a nominal VGA resolution x at around 30 frames per second is impressive for a device at the 's price point, but plainly is unable match the performance of optics in higher end devices, such as the N82 and N The camera is activated using the capture key on the side of the device.

Start up time is just over a second with the auto focus lock taking another second or so. The camera software takes full advantage of the touch screen; the majority of settings are accessible from a pop out box from the toolbar. With most settings just a few taps away, they're more accessible than on softkey driven devices, but most of the time the fully automatic mode is perfectly sufficient.

In video mode, the settings are sparser, but I was very happy to see that the universal symbol for record, a red spot, has been used as the shortcut icon on the toolbar. A good example of where iconography can make things more intuitive than a text labeled shortcut. For media management and viewing, the uses the Gallery application. It uses the top level hierarchy images and videos, songs, sound clips and other media , as in previous S60 implementations. Photos and videos are shown as thumbnails in a grid.

Touching on a selected image shows it full screen and, as you might expect, you can flick through the images in sequence by sliding your finger or stylus over the screen. Touch the screen again and a number of shortcuts and controls appear.

There's a zoom bar the volume keys, on the side of the device, can also be used , plus shortcuts for sending the media item via email, mms or web upload , playing the media video or slideshow and deleting the media. The options menu gives access to further actions, including editors now standard in 5th Edition for both images and videos. Gallery does get the job done and has a good range of features, but its top level hierarchy is antiquated and it can be a little slow to load or switch between images so there's definitely room for improvement.

An area where the impresses is its ability to easily upload captured media to online services Flickr, Share on Ovi and more through the Share online application. Both the Gallery and Camera applications integrate with the Share online application via the send shortcut web upload.

As a part of this plan, Nokia announced on 29 April , to transfer and outsource Symbian activities to Accenture along with employees.
