One of the best things about the various applications that you can install on your S60-powered smartphone is that these applications get updated rather frequently. Also, the supporting applications for your computer get updated often, and it’s important to keep up with these, as the updates typically bring various bug fixes and whatnot.
We’ve not covered SkyeQuiKey here on Symbian-Guru, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a great application. If you’re not familiar, SkyeQuiKey, you should definitely read up on Zach’s review here at SymbianInMotion. SkyeQuiKey is essentially a shortcuts application that lets you quickly begin typing from your standby screen to quickly access pretty much anything on your phone. You can get the updated version here, and it’s actually on sale, for only $18 you can get the full license, not a bad deal.
Nokia also recently updated its vanilla PC Suite to v7.0.8.2, which is completely baffling to me. Why in the world is Nokia continuing development of the other three (vanilla, Nseries, and Eseries) PC Suites, when they just launched the supposedly all-encompassing Ovi Suite? Beats me, but I will say that given the lack of a Mac Suite, it sure looks like Nokia loves Windows 4x as much as it loves Macs. Download it here.
Nokia Maps has also received another small incremental update, though users are reporting that this version is actually noticably better than previous releases. I can’t help but wonder why in the world Nokia can’t push these updates out to the various Nokia Maps clients. I mean, if we’re connecting to download maps or routes on the go, how difficult could it be to have a little popup saying that a new version of Maps is available, and would we like to download it? Download the update here.
Nokia’s Share Online client for S60 devices has also been updated, now at v3.0.08.23. We haven’t a clue what’s changed, and neither will you until you’ve installed the update and started using it, so hop to it! Download it here.
That’s all we’ve got for now. We’re still waiting for a major update to the Nokia Music PC Client, as well as for Nokia Photos, which has been at v1.2 for quite some time. What else is out there that needs to get some update love?
