Nokia N95 running 3D games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRZA7w_zWmM
(the name of the game is "One", get it and many more from www.n-gage.com )
These are also available for other s60v3 phones with integrated GPU

Augmented Reality - Tower Defense:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyWVH6jkDHg
This game is free (there is also another game that also uses Augmented Reality too): Download
These Augmented Reality games work better on s60v3 Nokia phones (N-series), but may work on other phones. Check the website for compatibility.

I'm finishing a N95-3 review that I should have posted already some days ago, but I've been quite busy lately so I couldn't finish it before.


What about we make a thread for posting everything we love about our (smart)phones, with several links to (legal) game and app downloads, cool features and the like? I could help with that...


edit:
If you want a gaming smartphone, you can compare the benchmark of real gaming in most smartphones, The benchmark tools use OpenGL 1.x. You can also download for free the tool and benchmark your own phone. The tests include a first person shooter render with different settings, rendering scenes with several different texture sizes and light sources, and least but not last real time lighting and real time shadows.

Notice how the N95 performs much better than the iPhone 2G and 3G, but Apple has completely changed their iPhone 3Gs hardware in a amazing way: it's a whole lot faster, and is now the top fastest phone on the benchmark.
Top 5 best benchmark results:
1 - Apple iPhone 3Gs - 882 points
2 - HTC T8585 HD2 - 637 points
3 - Nokia N82 - 577 points
4 - Nokia N95 - 537 points
5 - Nokia N93 - 537 points

It even adds your live messenger contacts to the Contacts built-in app in a secondary tab and matches your phone's contacts with your messenger contacts (to get their emails, phone numbers, personal information, address, birthday, etc):


PS: works with most Symbian phones. N95 and 5800XM are in the list of supported phones.

EDIT:

Here are screenshots of the Windows Mobile version of Windows Live Messenger (that came after the Symbian version, not before it as expected :tilt

Quote from Shadowww :HT.

I never had <100ms ping to european servers with wi-fi + unless it's (draft) N, it's limited to 54mbit/s which is slow.

Windows 7 or MacOS X Snow Leopard?

There's not just the 54Mbit/s version, you know. I have seen wi-fi routers with much more speed than 100Mbit/s


Symbian FTW!!

Shadowww.

Symbian s60v3 or Symbian? s60v5?

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :any suggestions on a instant messenger?
i tried Nimbuzz, but it didnt work correctly (gone offline by itself without showing it) and currently testing palringo.
cant say if its any good as i have just installed it today

Have you tried Windows Live Messenger?

It's official, and it does the same pc version: you can send and receive nudges, files, images, record and send sound, talk with as many people you want at the same time, etc. Very easy to use and pretty awesome I would say.

Quote from shaun463 :I have the amazing N95 and would recommend it to anybody.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :as i checked the post from töki i noticed it.
about to install
as i use 99.9% opera as web browser on pc too it just makes sense to get it on my mobile too ^^

Me too, I posted first and then read the apps list, that's why I edited the post.
By the way, that's a great list of apps I use a lot on the N95 (not all, quite a few), some of them have their versions for s60v5... you can check them out here: http://n95blog.com/25-must-hav ... atons-for-your-nokia-n95/

I know quite a bit about these phones (the N95 and 5800XM), if anyone wants any help you're welcome to PM me or something.
(for N95 owners, I have a quite extensive library (2,6GB) of apps and games if anyone wants...)

By the way, some people get this confused so I think I better say it: there are two opera versions, one for dumbphones and non-Symbian phones that use Java (Opera Mini), and another one for Symbian phones (Opera Mobile), so if you use a Symbian powered phone, you should definitely get Opera Mobile as it is so much better than Opera Mini, specially when it comes to performance. Opera Mini has just the same functions as Opera Mobile, but it lacks integration with Symbian (integration which makes things even easier) so people with Symbian phones should really get Opera Mobile instead.

It is really great!

By the way, as far as I know, Real Player and Adobe Reader and Quick Office come with the phone... that is, Quick Office only reads files (requires payment to edit MS Office files), and Real Player and Adobe Reader comes fully functional. I have them on my N95 (there's a very few difference, both are Symbian, N95 is S60v3 and 5800XM is S60v5... the main differences are hardware (I think the 5800XM doesn't have integrated graphics card (N95 does) but I'm not sure) and animations, and a few adaptations for touch screen).

Quote from Homeless_Drunk :He is correct, the iPhone isn't a smart phone. It's a glorified dumbphone with a bunch of apps.

Up until a year ago it couldn't even copy/paste...and it still can't multitask. If my phone couldn't copy/paste and multitask it would make my job suck.

It also doesn't allow use of Bluetooth for file transfer, neither has got a file manager. That's awful, these are two things I use a lot on my N95.

Quote from Migz :Sounds like this feature you're tlaking about is T9, all phones have this you just have to turn it on.
But typing the other way is MUCH faster then T9, as long as your fast at typing.

The N95 is my first (and until now, only) phone, so please be easy on me, I thought this feature was something very new and innovative or something. I've searched the T9 and yes, it's exactly the same thing. And I still think it's awesome and very fast. At least for me.

I have tried writing on a 5800 Xpress Music and it was very, very slow and fulfilled with typos. It took me 8 failed attempts to finally write "Amanda" correctly. I wrote zmzndz, amz dz, a a dz, etc. And I consider myself the kind of person who can adapt quickly to technology, actually I like it a lot.

Absolutely none of my friends use this T9 feature though. I have seen most of them sending messages and they are very slow at it, on several different phones. That, and they keep asking me "how did you write so much in a SMS so quickly?". May be the reason I thought it was new or something.

By the way, what do you mean by typing the other way? You mean going through all the alphabet, pressing a key several times to get the letter you want? If that's it, I'm terribly slow at it, I write about 5 times faster using T9!

Quote from TiJay :The other phones on the list I made were all brilliant but too expensive and I'm not too convinced about the browsing or MSN Messenger capabilities of the N95...

They are awesome, I can tell you. I usually spend all day with Windows Live Messenger ("the new MSN Messenger") and Opera Mobile open on the background and I never had any problem. When I'm using earphones, I can hear the WLM sound of people calling (same sounds as the PC) and then answer. When I don't want to be disturbed, I just change status to busy.

Writing on the phone is almost as fast as writing on the keyboard, because the phone has got a Predictive text feature that guesses what you are going to write as you write, so, for instance, to write "Hello world." exactly as in the example, all you would have to press is: 435560967531. That is, ONE key press for each letter. 0 being space, and 1 being full stop (if you press it twice, it turns into a emoticom, three times, a longer emoticom, or ..., etc). In other phones that don't have this feature, you would have to press: 4433555(wait 3 secs)555666096667775553 for the exact same sentence. Once you get used to it as I did, you'll write just as fast as you write with the keyboard, and will be able to easily and quickly write with both hands. I for one stay online on WLM on the phone full time when I'm not home, and my friends don't notice any difference because it is actually the full WLM experience on the phone: send and receive files, images, videos, etc just as you would on the PC, and write very fast with the Predictive text feature.

Quote from danthebangerboy :Nice one, wiN95 then!

lol
In fact it does support Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows 98. I had all of them installed on my phone, though I uninstalled Windows 98 and Windows 95 to save space (I only have a 4GB memory card, but I intend to purchase a 16GB one).

Get yourselves ready for a huge post! INCOMING!!

Quote from J@tko :Possibly the worst "annoying" rick-roll ever - you can stop it really easily

After opening that page, besides being actually very easy to stop, AVIRA reported several virus attacks... it should be reported!

By the way... I didn't really see any rickroll in that page at all, it just seemed like a virtual shop or something. So, if it was really supposed to be a rickroll, it smells more like rickfails.
