There are some awesome free apps available for Nokia smartphones. Check them out here.
Symbian is still the most popular smartphone OS worldwide. But, here in the U.S., it's almost a non-entity in terms of sales. That may soon change, as AT&T and T-Mobile have begun picking up devices like the Nokia E73 and Nokia 5230 and subsidizing them so that they're competitive with other handsets.
Users of Nokia's Symbian phones have a few different ways to get apps. First, there's the Nokia Ovi Store, the official app store. Unfortunately, it's sluggish and incomplete. You may find more riches at GetJar, the largest independent app store, which has been serving up Symbian apps for years. Some app developers also host apps on their own site that you can download directly to your phone, or sync from a PC using Nokia's Ovi Suite software. The sites All About Symbian and Nokia Experts have frequent reviews of Symbian software.
