The List

I started this blog to share all the applications I found for the Nokia E71x phone in one place. Since new blog entries have been added, you can quickly find the list by clicking here. I will keep it updated.

If you know of an application that you like a lot and it is not on the list, let me know and I will add it to the list. Note: Please make sure it works on the E71x before submitting. E71 does not count as there are known applications that run on E71 but not the E71x.

Lookup a Word in the Dictionary using Snaptu

Snaptu

Both Merriam-Webster and Collins have excellent free web-based online dictionaries but using the web-browser on the E71x to look up a word is not very convenient. They also have S60 apps that are probably very good…but they are not free.

Snaptu comes with a free online dictionary!

In the main screen simply select the Dictionary.


Enter a word to search or select a recent definition.


The result appears right away.

I am not sure if the quality of the definitions is on par with Merriam-Webster or Collins but it is hard to beat free.

What is your opinion on the matter? Is paying for a dictionary app worth it?

  1. @Ben...Are you still using your e71x? I abandoned mine when I got Nexus One. I recently started using e71x again and found most of the apps are no longer supported.

  2. Yep, still using it but my guess most E71x users are moving on. You are not going to find new apps being written for this phone, hence the relatively few new articles on the site.
