Google is an innovator in every field. They have redefined the meaning of Global Positioning System with their amazing ideas. The latest version of Google Maps has a lot to offer, more than you can imagine.
Google Maps for Nokia 5800 is must have GPS application. You will hate to use Nokia Maps after you have used this application. Google has integrated the Buzz feature in Google Maps this time. You can select a location/landmark and post/see a buzz by all the people associated with that location. Everything is realtime and exciting.
With the integration of Google Latitude, Google Maps is much more than a navigation tool. You can add your friends in Google Latitude and see their real-time location and they can see yours. With the integration of Wikipedia in Google Maps, Google has gone one step ahead. You can now see all the locations in a map about which you have information available in Wikipedia. These locations are marked by a ‘W’ icon.
If you are on a 3G connection, you can even see the satellite view of the map which is amazing. Get real-time traffic updates on the map. Find your directions which are so accurate. I wonder how Google provides such a functional application free of cost. Moreover, it has maps from almost all the countries on the globe.

YouTube for Nokia 5800 has an updated version. The latest version is 2.4.4. Earlier, opening YouTube on Nokia 5800 would open directly in the landscape mode but now what i notice is that it opens in the portrait mode which for some people may be more convenient to use. However, the videos will still play in the landscape mode irrespective of the orientation of your phone.
You can log into your own YouTube account in the application and access all the related account demographics like - My Videos, Subscriptions, Favorites, Playlists. You can now see your playlists and play them. You can see all your subscriptions and directly play all the videos from the subscription. If you have videos uploaded in your account then you can play all those videos. However, you do not have any account management options. For managing your YouTube account, you need to access the web-based portal. I hope we have the management features as well in the future release.
You now have the option to Flag a video. There is an option that allows you to copy the video link and then paste it anywhere in your Nokia 5800. The application is much faster and videos play much smoother than the earlier release. The current release is very stable and would not crash even after using for hours.

So, pretty much every time I’m listening to music I tend to sing along (who doesn’t?) but isn’t it REALLY annoying when you forget the lyrics? Well that’s where TuneWiki comes into play. This application is simply AWESOME! It’s great, pick a song and it will grab the lyrics from the internet within seconds so you can sing along and embarrass yourself on the train XD
Before I found this application I had to find my lyrics on google, which isn’t so much of a chore but it does take considerably longer to get them than with TuneWiki.
According to my good friend Salman, “TuneWiki was first started as an underground ‘jailbreak’ application for the iPhone in 2008″. You can see from this that it must have something about it for the developers to port it to other OSes such as Symbian.
Any way, enough with the intro… On with the features I hear you shout! Well here they are;
Music Library – Like the built-in music player, there is a full music library built on your collection including Artist, Album, Song and Playlist groupings. There is full kinetic scrolling in the menus and an iPhone-esque letter search down the right (although rather fiddly)
Internet Radio – Shoutcast radio on your phone With an easy shoutcast search you shouldn’t be without music where ever you are.
Music Video Library – With this you can search YouTube for music videos, it even has an artist/song search.
Community – Here you can search for song lyrics without playing the song, it even has a feature to search a phrase from a song to possibly find the name of that song you love. There are also Music Maps which show you what music is being played in your area or other selectable areas. Furthermore, there is a TuneWiki Top 50 section, a TuneWiki Playlists area and Following/Followers screens (I assume like Twitter but I haven’t tried it).
Although I quite liked the idea of having intergrated YouTube searching I found this a tad upsetting;
The video feature is a hit-and-miss implementation in TuneWiki. Videos are searched through the YouTube client that is integrated in TuneWiki or they can be searched by hitting the video button while playing a song. For most of the popular songs, lyrics are also displayed. However, the video quality suffers and most of the videos occupy only a fraction of the screen real estate. That, above all, siphons all the fun out of watching videos and renders the Video feature useless.
- Salman Khan
Other disappointments are that there are no equaliser settings and no song search capabilities TuneWiki can operate without going online but as you can see, without it’s main feature (instant lyrics), it doesn’t really have anything more than the built in media player.
At the end of the day, if you need to get some lyrics when listening to a song on your phone then this is the way forward! It’s on the Ovi Store and it’s FREE so check it out… NOW!
