Good/Best Applications recommended by forumers for your N95

[kontraband]

LAST UPDATED/LINKS VALIDATED ON June 09
OK, I am creating this moderated thread for good apps for the N95x. I've searched the forum for a few of the mentioned ones, but if you add to this thread with a post, I'll edit it up to the list.

Its not a discussion. Its way of sharing what you think is good. Posts will be deleted without notice if they get
conversational. If there's something you REALLY need to chat about, search the forum and see if its live there, or start a new thread.

Clearly a 'good' app. is a subjective thing and we can't/don't all agree, so I figure let the user take their choice. But this list doesn't want to just become a list of ALL software applications for N95's... so lets all try and keep the suggestions worthy.

Feel free to post (so long as its not pirated/cracked etc) the name of the app and a link to download (if you can please). Also add if its a free/beta/donate app and then I'll add it to the list. Thanks in advance to members that post up to this list.

I'll try stay on top of this to keep it easy to find stuff so will delete the posts only once I have added the app to the list....

Let me know if anything is incorrect. Oh, and also.... check out the comprehensive list on AAS front pages for all sorts of apps.

However, to use the Buddy Beacon, or to share images, notes and points-of-interest, or to update licensed POI sets, your handset needs to be able to open a data connection to the internet."
30. Y-Browser - Free
31. SExplorer - Free

45. Reboot - Same goes for Reboot, when I need to free up RAM.
46. Yahoo Go 3.0 - http://uk.mobile.yahoo.com/go says beefyn70

53. ActiveFile (download at bottom of post)MontyN95 says "A file manager that picks up files in your inbox, shows hidden files, processes, has a task manager ( can kill crashed applications), a memory (RAM) monitor, and an option to keep the backlight on. Better than the rest IMHO"

To install any of these apps, download them to a place on your system, and extract the .sis or .sisx file if you have to and simply double click it. So long as you have PCSuite installed if you are doing it pc to phone, PCSuite will start up and transfer the app to your handset. The rest can be done from there.
Otherwise navigate to the link with your phone and go that way
