Free Skype VoIP client in Nokia phones

Finally Skype will embed its VoIP application to the Nokia mobile phones running Symbian S60. The first one will be the new N97 device. Moreover Skype software will be available to download onto other Nokia Symbian S60 models. But standalone version is less integrated into address books, messaging and other phone's built-in features. Integrated version of Skype client in Nokia N97 will be able to show when Skype contacts are online, send messages to them, launch free Skype-to-Skype voice calls, and use native phone client to make Skype Out calls.

Looks like we move to Skype availability on all Nokia Symbian smartphones.

New GPS freeware navigation - Google Maps for Symbian 9

Google Maps is now available for Symbian 9. Unfortunately it's available only for Symbian S60 version. But still this is another great free native GPS navigation application for Nokia S60 phones. It supports both external BT and integrated N95 6110 GPS receivers. You can download it with mobile browser from google.com/gmm/.

Open Adobe PDF documents on Symbian devices

If you have a Nokia or other Symbian OS-based device, then you might want to read PDF dociments on it. In this case you sould use sone third-party application to do it. Because Symbian doesn't support Adobe PDF documents natively. There is three options: mBrainsoftware's Pdf+ for viewing PDF files with Nokia S60 devices, Documents to Go to use with UIQ and Series 80 and native Adobe Reader LE 1.1 for some Symbian devices. Pdf+ viewer lets you view stored PDF files, read password-protected PDF files, and display all the text, line drawings and images within a PDF document. Also you can search and follow hyperlinks in the Adobe PDF file, and view and follow bookmarks. The Documents to Go by DataViz provides the same capabilities only in professional version. The simpliest application is Adobe Reader, but the main advantage is no cost of it, you can download it for many models from Nokia website.
