The Nokia Ovi Store is your one-stop shop for the latest in apps, tools, themes and utilities and is on a steady path to release up to 500 new pieces of content a week. One thing is for sure, the releases keep on coming, with new apps for printing, timing, navigation and wireless networking all arriving this week.
NiceAlarm
Type: Business
Price: £6.00
Size: 0.164MB
Alarms set via the S60 calendar app are fine, but a bit limited. NiceAlarm extend this functionality with more options than you can shake a stick at. Multiple alarms with unique musical tones for each one, text notes for alarms, variable repeats and snooze duration and more. You can even set a deactivation code that you have to enter to shut the alarm off, for when you have to force yourself to wake up.
DocScanner
Type: Business
Price: £8.00
Size: 0.05MB
DocScanner turns your phone’s camera into a scanner. Just point it at a printed document and the app will detect the dimensions of the page and correct for perspective and contrast. You can send the scan directly via email/MMS or save it as a PDF for later use.
Fleatch Presence Services
Type: Utilities
Price: £4.00
Size: 0.171MB
Fleatch either helps you manage your ‘me’ time or enables you to be an antisocial clod, depending on your perspective. A call screening app, Fleatch checks if an incoming number is in your contacts list – if it is, it will hang up, then send the caller an SMS letting them know when would be a good time to call back - or just to leave you be. It’s the ultimate in passive-aggressive time management solutions!
RingMe Plus
Type: Business
Price: £6.00
Size: 0.047MB
After extended use of the previous app it is possible you may not have many friends left. Thanks heavens then for RingMe Plus, which will place fake incoming calls to get you out of awkward or dull situations. The ideal companion to a Friday afternoon meeting or a blind date.
Before you can download any of these apps you'll need to register your device with Ovi Store, which also entitles you to updates and message alerts from Nokia and is a great way of keeping abreast of what's going on at the Ovi Store.
