Slide IT Beta keyboard for Nokia Touchscreen phones.

So I've been testing out this new "keyboard" app on the Nokia 5800 for awhile and so far I'm fairly impressed with it.
Basically it's a new method to type on your phone, instead of clicking/tapping individual letters, just keep on sliding your finger/stylus till you cover all the letters of the word.
Check out the video below for a quick demonstration.

To download you will have to go to the developer's site here and input your name, email and IMEI. They will then send you the application to try.

X-Plore - a file manager/browser/editor for s60v5 phones

I truly can't imagine why I had completely ignored to put this app up here for people to download. It is one of the 1st apps that I started using on my 5800.

This file manager is pretty much an all in one solution. With features like an inbuilt document viewer, audio/video player, quick thumbnails for pictures, zip manager, etc...it is by far the most superior app in it's category.

It also lets you access system files where you can use it to delete cache/temp files to free up more space on the phone memory. Just be careful not to delete any essential system files.

DayHand Input - Add/Change default keyboard on S60v5 phones!

Look at the pictures for the app's capabilities and functionality. The last 2 images also show you how to switch between different keyboard skins, however I personally love the Opera Keyboard interface. Another neat feature is that the keyboard automatically switches to the larger one once the phone is rotated to the landscape mode.

Do not miss out on testing this app. It's absolutely amazing.

Note: The app is not signed, so you will have to sign it yourself using you're own cert/key.
