Top 15 Things I do on my Mobile that AMAZE my friends

First of all, I had prepared this post a while ago and was waiting for the right moment to post it. But since the hype about Nokia's marketing strategies is now to its fullest, now that the iPhone ads are all over the USA, I decided to that it's about time.

How does this Top 15 countdown relate to marketing strategies?
Well, these 15 options that the symbian platform allows me to perform, are capable of AMAZING my friends. Why? Are they so hard, so tricky, so impossible? NO. I just happened to look for them. But my friends didn't, and so they are swept off their feet everytime I show them something new. Now why is it so hard for an average Nokia owner to access these features? Marketing issues, accessibility issues. Nokia doesn't bother showing its consumers what they CAN EASILY do with their devices, without needing to be a real symbian geek.
Now, let's cut off with the wining and get to the top 15, shall we? I will discuss marketing issues in another post.

Top 15 Things I do with my mobile that AMAZE my friends (and the apps that let me do it)
15 - Read the Bible (BesteBible)
14 - Have a chat-like interface for my SMS sending (SMS Chat)
13 - Read .pdf - zip/unzip - rar/unrar (PDF+ , HandyZip, MobileRar, X-Plore,...)
12 - Keep it theft proved (Phone Guardian or Security Genius)
11 - Play quality games like KRally, EA Sports, Sky Force,...
10 - Read RSS news on-the-go without an internet connection (Mobipocket)
09 - Carry an Atlas in my phone (World Fact Book)
08 - Have many dictionaries, translation tools, medical dictionaries, available everywhere I go (MSDict or Harper Collins)
07 - Effectuate complicated mathematical calculations, draw functions, solve equations (BestCalc, Solution)
06 - Have an answering machine ready to pick up my calls when busy, and be able to record my voice conversations (Interactive Voice Call Master, Advanced Call Manager, Best Call Recorder...)
05 - Edit pictures and videos, compose tunes (Nokia Image Editor, PhotoRite SP, Tune Studio, Video Editor)
04 - Read and use medical books on-the-go like a handheld pocketPC (Mobipocket, iSilo)
03 - Have an XP-like interface running (Best XP theme)
02 - Control PowerPoint, iTunes, Windows Media Player, Power DVD,... from my mobile (Salling Clicker)
01 - Read and edit Microsoft Office files on the go: Word, Excel, PowerPoint (Quick Office, Office Suite)

I know Nokia devices come bundled with Adobe and the reader version of QuickOffice (but people don't know they can also edit files) but these features are not emphasized and didn't show up in the first s60 3rd devices (like my 3250 for eg)

Anything else you do that brings the oh and the ouh around in your friend circle?
N.B: please bare in mind that I don't have internet connection, so I can't surf the web, chat or check mail or use Widgets...

Top 10 ways s60 has changed my life

This is my first post, so I thought it'd be good to start by saying why I love s60 and what changes it introduced in my life ever since I own an s60 3rd Edition device.
To tell you the truth, before the Nokia 3250, I had the 6610 (s40, no camera, no big screen, no applications...) so it was a great switch I made one year ago.

Here goes the top10, with the software that allow me to perform every task:

1 - RSS news on-the-go (via Mobireader) : having no internet connection on my phone, I thought that RSS was nothing I can enjoy on-the-go, but Mobi proved me wrong!
2 - Use my morning walking/jogging time to write essays and poetry (via Office Suite)
3 - Have medical references, whenever wherever, almost like a Palm or PocketPC (via Mobireader and iSilo)
4 - Control music on my laptop from anywhere at home (via Salling Clicker) (also post coming soon)
5 - Never wear a watch anymore, never carry a calculator to classes and exams anymore (via BestCalc)
6 - Use Notes instead of looking for hours for a pen and a paper (via s60's pre-installed software)
7 - Have entertainment material ready whenever I get bored (via any game, carrying music, videos and flash)
8 - Read literature books (via Mobireader, again)
9 - Give presentations without sticking in front of the pc (via Salling Clicker)
10 - Woman mobile, you know the rest ;)

As you can see, Mobireader and Salling Clicker are amongst the softwares that have made a huge difference in the way I interact with my mobile. That's why, in the upcoming days, I'll have a couple of posts about them, comparing them with their most serious contenders:
