Fresh out of the box, the Nokia N97 is one of the most powerful smartphones the world has ever seen (check out our review to see just how powerful). But that's only the beginning: picking out a few killer apps can boost its usefulness even further. Read on for all the details of five apps you must download...

Gravity

Price: £8

Do you like to tweet? Want to let your followers know what kind of crisps you're eating on the bus? Well, if so then you'll need a mobile Twitter client to help you keep up to date with the current social networking craze, and this is the finest available. It's packed with features and is even compatible with third-party extras like TwitPic and Posterous.

Qik

An amazing free app that lets you share live video direct from your N97, broadcasting it straight to the web. Yes, it's that simple and that brilliant. Head over to our full review for a more in-depth look.

Flight Info

One for the frequent fliers. This self-explanatory app keeps you bang up to date with flight information: just tap in your airline code and flight number and you'll be instantly given terminal, departure and arrival details. Simple but effective.

Pixelpipe for Share Online

Pixelpipe allows you to connect Nokia Share Online to almost 100 other social web services.

    Flight Info is no longer present in the store!?!
    Can anyone shed any light on this… and if it is unavailable, possible suggestions for an alternative.

    thanks, J

    Flight info no more available. What a shame. This was a real wow experience when I got it a month ago. Then my phone went to warranty fix, was cleaned and now I don’t have it…

    Brilliant apps. The Gravity is the best one among these five apps, i twitter a lot. Qik is good, but the bandwidth expense will kill me, have no interests to the remaining three ones. BTW, @jevzone, sadly, it is no longer available.
