Three years back, I wrote a similar post enlisting. However smartphone and apps scenario has changed drastically since then; very few Symbian apps have stood to the challenges of time and still deserve to be categorized as “must-have”. Most others have either lost to competition or disappeared completely (abandoned by developers). Here I have compiled a list of 30+ must-have Symbian apps of 2011 – especially for Symbian^3 (Anna, Belle) phones. These apps relate to many different categories including Mobile browsers, Social networking, entertainment, utilities, system tools etc.
Note that the apps have been arranged randomly in the list and numbering does not indicate any order of importance – 1. Opera Mini and Opera Mobile – Indispensable is the word for these two apps – hats off to Opera for making such wonderful mobile browsers. In contrast to Android phones which have plenty of excellent web browsers, Symbian users have only these two siblings that can be called as top-notch; must-have for every Symbian user.
Download free from m.opera.com 2. FMobi – Facebook is an addiction now and one need to have a capable client to enjoy it fully on mobile.
Thanks to its developers fMobi is the best facebook app you can get for your Symbian phone. Beautiful UI, plethora of options, nothing comes close to fMobi – the celebrated Android FB clients feel ugly and unusable against it. Symbian users may feel proud that fMobi is available for Symbian only (as of now!). Search and download from Nokia (Ovi) Store or from 4shared.com 3. MSDict viewer and dictionaries – MSDict viewer (and related dictionaries) is an app that I think every Symbian user requires in his/her day to day life. There are many different dictionaries available for the app – Oxford Medical, Oxford English, Collin’s English, Oxford Business etc.

Download from. JoikuSpot – I just love this app! It turns my N8 into a Wi-Fi hotspot. Thus I can use phone’s GPRS/3G connection to surf internet on other WLAN enabled devices – like laptop, desktop or even mobiles. Joikuspot makes it damn easy – just launch the app, confirm the prompt and wait for Joikuspot to create a data connection.
Now switch on the Wi-Fi in other device. A new connection (with the name “xxx-Joikuspot-xxx” or something like that) will be shown in available network connection list, connect to it and start surfing. No complex settings or configurations required! Search and download from Nokia Store or 4shared.com 5.
Screen Snap – It’s a small app to take photos of phone’s screen (screenshots). Very handy to take snaps for my tutorial posts. Download free from.

MGuard – A very useful app providing many System tools to keep your phone fast and secure plus junk and malware free. Download free from www.netqin.com/en 9.
