@chili, I hear you about mini commander. It gives the phone the kind of file manager every device ought to have by default (atleast for those of us who actually USE our devices, as opposed to those who simply take the spoon fed content operators offer)

I use Oxford Dictionary also, I wonder if Oxford gifted this to mobile users or whether some champion out there knocked it up themselves.

Hi Max, I don't think a file manager as good as Mini Commander will ever be a standard in feature phones (or even smartphones). I noticed that manufacturers tend to dumb things down according to 1) what they think the average call-text-camera-music-video user will do (they're usually right about this) and 2) what they know is generally acceptable but limited file access, which is a guarantee against accidental deletion of system files.

The manufacturers are right because I've installed Mini Commander on some of my friends' phones and they never used it as it should be. In case you're wondering, yes, most of them are females.

In many ways Mini Commander is better than even Swiss Manager Free and other file managers for smartphones which tend to be bloated and tacky. The dual panel, the command on how to quickly set the folder in the other panel, the copy/cut/paste shortcuts, the customizable scrolling speed, the ultra-flexible text editor that would put most other dedicated text editors to shame, the changeable color schemes, the minimalistic but no-nonsense feel of everything about the program. Too bad it doesn't run well on the G900 due to the different keypad layout, and because it's not really meant for touchscreen devices.

Concise Oxford English Dictionary is a classy program. Technically efficient and literate in content. It even provides etymology and with this root-focused approached, it will remain a relevant program in your phone for many years to come.

Nice Nice!

Thanks for the great information guys.

Max, chili, or anyone ... any suggestions for a powerful calendar/to-do/appointment/memo application that can augment (for syncing) the system calendar functions?

I'm aware of seperate alarm programs but not calendar ... this my friends is the ONLY weakness SE feature phones have - besides higher resolution video recording.

haven't come across any todate. I tend to make basic entries on the phone and flesh them out in outlook later (after synching) so didn't notice any shortfall there.
