Top Ten Nokia N8 Apps
1. Opera Mobile 10
Opera Mobile 10 is now available for download and can be used on almost every mobile phone. One nice feature of Opera Mobile 10
is speed dialing which shows all your favorite numbers in an easy to find grid format and there are also tabs for browsing. Opera Mobile 10 compresses web pages to both improve page loading time and reduce the charges that web browsing adds to the monthly bill or the impact on usage limits if you have a set plan. Opera Mobile 10 is free to download. Opera Mobile 10 is not yet available for the iPhone.
Review
Opera Software’s browser is nicely put together. It is free and has excellent upgrade support. It has many helpful features that keep the desktop tidy through its tabbed browsing option, which opens web pages in tabbed windows inside a single software initiation of the application. There are a range of tools to help you find information, including integrated search-enabled toolbars for use on the Internet, which allows instantaneous lookups of selected words and phrases**.**

2. Skype
Skype is a free VOIP application that lets you make calls from your computer to any other users of Skype for free. It is considered one of the best Nokia N8 applications.
Review
Skype is the cheapest way to call other countries and is an excellent application for the Nokia N8 since calling other countries from a mobile phone can be really expensive. Skype is now well-established and the sound quality of calls made over the Skype network has improved substantially.

4. Tube Map
A map of London’s underground transportation system.
Review
Whether you are visiting or living in London, there is no way of escaping the need to use the Tube - London’s underground transportation system. It’s a much nicer trip if you know where you’re going. Mobile telephone service does not work underground, so you can’t check the map of the Tube on the Internet. Having it pre-installed on your mobile phone is a great help.

This Nokia N8 application creates a wireless connection to HP printers.
