    I am starting a new thread on Symbian S60 software sharing .. so can share installation woes etc..
    Since most here uses WinCE :p

    Here the software I install so far:-
    1) Garmin (work like charm.. I learn new shortcut roads everyday)
    2) GoogleMap .. yet to try it
    3) Yahoo Go! .. use for RSS reader
    4) Live Messenger
    5) eBuddy
    6) Bible Ready (Simple English version) Anyone got NIV?
    7) Latest Mail Exchange. .. push email .. .

    Mapking doesn't work with Symbian...

    Now maybe looking to install some games etc. .. anyone got interesting software to share?

    Googlemap is quite useless without data connection IMO.

    YES ...GoogleMap is useless just found out just now when I turn it on. I don't get it, it expect us to be online and have GPS signal at the same time.

    Unless I got unlimited 3G access, else no way!

    Is Opera Mini any good then the built in browser? hmm .. i will install S60SpotOn..

    Opera Mini is excellent if your phone is slow, and it's a good RSS reader too.

    I'm not sure about Symbian, but there should be a way to hard reset the phone, all data will be gone when you do that.

    So always backup your data.

    Hard reset lo, not sure if Symbian phones have key combination to hard reset if, if you bring back to those shops they always have data cable to do the restoration

    LOL! I think Touch Diamond is the least coolest HTC phone.

    Please stick to topic.
