All the following apps are available from Ovi Store for free, via the links provided at the end of the round up, or you can just search directly on your phone.

Dictionary & Translation Pro

Dictionary & Translation Pro

Dictionary & Translation Pro is a very useful reference application for your Nokia C7. It comes with a huge online database of over a million words maintained by a community of language experts. It contains not only a dictionary but also a thesaurus. The word database is constantly being updated and can give you translations in other languages such as Arabic, Hindi and French. Unfortunately you have got to be online to use Dictionary & Translation Pro as this application’s database is maintained on an external server.

Nokia Internet Radio

Nokia Internet Radio

This Nokia Internet Radio application has an extensive play-list of over 1,000 radio stations worldwide. The play-list can be searched for popular stations or can be browsed by genre. You do not need to be familiar with the radio stations to enjoy the radio content on you Nokia C7, as Nokia Internet Radio makes accessing the music easy.

To get more out of the experience though, it might be worth investing in a different set of headphones to accessorize your C7 – the ones you get with it don’t offer the best quality.

Skype

Skype

Skype is a video and voice communication application. Skype allows you to make free calls to other Skype users, and low cost premium calls to other phones anywhere in the world, using your 3G or Wi-Fi connection. You can set up a Skype number so that when you travel you can maintain your local number for people to reach you at no extra cost. Skype also allows you to exchange instant messages on the go with your contacts from your address book. With Skype you have full integration with the contacts on your mobile phone.

This utility is a conversion calculator which allows you to convert between several measurement metrics in either volume energy, area, weight, temperature, length, electricity, dates and time, speed and velocity and pressure.

Best ScreenSnap is another free app that is a must have on your Nokia C7. This utility app functions in the background away from view and is unobtrusive.

You can customize shortcut keys to use to take the screen shots. They can be either hardware keys or soft-keys. When using soft-keys you can set a delay to allow for you to hide the soft keyboard.
