There are many apps now for capturing photos out there for the Nokia C7 and other Symbian^3 devices.  Camera+ is yet another one.

Camera+ is closely similar to the CameraPro app but it is in Qt.  It has a nice user interface which is intuitive and customisable to one’s taste, and it’s really fast in capturing photos and videos.  It captures images and videos in High Definition also.  It has the usual self-timer, time-lapse, bracketing for HDR, and burst modes.  It brings out the best out of your Camera by supporting autofocus (Nokia N8), macro (N8), continuos focus, zoom, presets, level meter, image controls, geo tagging, compass, and so on.  If you are familiar with CameraPro, this would not be an enigma for you.  It’s quite simple and produces fantastic results.

You must have the Qt Mobility files installed on your Nokia C7 to install this app.

Filmark is a very useful application that changes the way you watch your videos on your Nokia C7 and other Symbian^3 devices.  It is a QT
based application.

Filmark extends the functionality of the in-built video player.  Filmark recalls the exact position you were in while watching a particular video.  It works in such a way as to take you back to that point where you stopped the last time you watched the video so that you do not need to fast-forward or search for the point where you were before. Yeah!  Filmark does that.  It works with your in-built video player and it’s not a video player of its own.

The app saves the required data about all the watched videos to make this happen.  Once a video is deleted from the smartphone’s memory or memory card, the saved data about that video is deleted with it.  This happens also when you must have watched the whole video to the end, meaning that the next time you watch that video clip, you would be taken back to the beginning.

All you need is just to start the app and turn it on by pressing the large on button in the middle of the screen.  Filmark would henceforth follow all your video-watching activities to make your life easier.

Nokia Panorama is an app that permits your Nokia C7 and other Symbian^3 devices to take wide-angle, high-resolution panoramic views.

There are times when we want to take landscape photos, but the whole view can’t get into the C7’s default camera app.  Or, you want to take a group of friends and there are these two or three fellows that are outside your camera view.  You try to go back only to see the persons or objects getting smaller.  Well, Nokia panorama has the solution to all that.

With Nokia panorama, you can capture wide high-quality panoramic views.  With the 8MP camera, the results of the images are sharp and beautiful when you scroll through.  Once the first shot is taken (either from your extreme right or left), Nokia panorama lets you go left or right as your choice maybe, and it automatically scans your horizon and guides you with directions that will lead you to your next shot.  Once you reach the next point, the app takes a shot for you automatically, which limits your job to simply going left, right, up, or down, as the case may be.  You can take as many shots as you like and can even make a 360 degree turn.  When you end the shots by clicking on the icon on the screen, you just relax and Nokia panorama stiches all the images together to near perfection.   I’ve used this app once to make clones out of myself by simply changing positions on the same background.  I tricked my friends to believe I was a triplet. LOL.

Nokia panorama is a cool app that you will need everywhere you go especially during your travels. There is a new update – Nokia Panorama v2 – and the user interface is simple.

SYMTORRENT 1.50

SymTorrent is lauded to be the first and, I think, presently the only BitTorrent client for Symbian OS.   Do you download music files and albums, PC and mobile softwares, video clips, games, and so on?  Peer-2-Peer (P2P) and torrent file sharing is stealing the show now when it comes to download.  But, the good news here is that, if you have been using the torrent file sharing method on your PC, you can now do practically the same stuff with your Nokia C7 or any other Symbian^3 device.

It supports downloading multiple torrents at the same time just like other PC based BitTorrent clients.  It’s download and upload speed is fast (depending on available seeds).  It saves the status of your unfinished torrents, so you can resume the downloads after restarting the application.  There is the possibility of seeing the status of downloading or seeding torrents along with several other statistics and details during download.  You have the option of either starting your torrent download straight from you browser or you simply click on an already downloaded torrent file from your file manager and it immediately opens the SymTorrent app to be the download.  Cool! Isn’t it.   Now you can carry your torrent download process anywhere.

RECORDOID SYMBIAN^3

 The first thing that strikes you about Recordoid is the presentation. The user interface (UI) mimics an old style cassette recorder, which gives a nice retro feel.  What seems out of place here is an LCD counter display. Back in the day of tape decks, we had electrically driven clockwork counters! The cassette recorder metaphor is even used when quitting the program. There’s no close button. Instead, there’s an eject button, with which there is an animation of the cassette door opening, before the application shuts down.

The retro UI of Recordoid

Recording is a straightforward matter of hitting the big red record button.  However, one usability aspect which spoilt the usage of Recordoid for me was that there seemed to be some delay with on the counter. It is most likely an attempt at simulating at how badly those early LCD panels were at keeping up with the hundredths of a second digits. However, it’s stretching the analogy a little too far for my liking when it impacts on my confidence in the UI.

Once recording, pause and stop buttons are available. Once the stop button is pressed, a dialogue appears asking you for a file name. However, it automatically generates, by default, a file name based on the date and time, so you don’t have to worry too much about choosing the perfect name for your masterpiece.

Recordoid’s file name dialog

When you press the play button, you’re presented with a UI to browse and manage your recordings. You can select files for playback or deletion. There’s even a search box, in case you have an inordinate amount of recordings (which I think is unlikely).

Managing your recordings in Recordoid

Selecting a track for playback presents yet another dialog, which offers more than just playback. In addition to the latter, there are options to attach a note, embed coordinates from the phone’s GPS system and an edit menu.

Recordoid’s playback menu

Before you get your hopes up, the edit menu does not allow you to trim your recording, or apply any sort of effects. The options presented here are: ‘Rename’, ‘Set as ringtone’, and ‘Send as’.

The loosely-referred-to editing options in Recordoid

The final option could be the most powerful aspect of Recordoid, the ability to publish your audio to any sharing service on the phone. However, Recordoid disappoints by only giving the following options: ‘Mail’, ‘Multimedia message’ and ‘Bluetooth’.

In conclusion, you will admit the truth of the fantastic nature of this app together with its utility.   The UI and old cassette metaphor puts the icing on the cake.
