As most of the smartphone owners must have noticed, the New phones sport a new Operating System - Symbian OS 9.1/9.2/9.3 or S60V3
S60v3, for security purposes, has completely broken compatibility with the previous edition apps. and hence you must not have been able to install those apps on your system.

thanks for the freewares
repped you

[Crazy Kidd]

Nice job. But you forgot to mention which are Java applications and which are Symbian applications. In that way you can include mobile from other brands also.
And try mXit. Its similar to mig33. And will be waiting for your next update.

But the basic requirement for making the list was to help the people with the newer phones to find the applications which would work for them as i found a lot of my friends panicking when they found that the olders apps wont work on their N series phone.

Will add the Java and Symbian info during next update
