Screenshot by Anthony Pranata used to be the best screenshot program for Symbian. But not anymore, because now there's SuperScreenshot from the OPDA team.
SuperScreenshot looks like a carbon copy of Screenshot, but it comes with two extra features. You can overlay your screenshots with a watermark, and since version 1.02 SuperScreenshot can add a timestamp to your pictures.
Just like Screenshot, SuperScreenshot can save your pictures in different formats (.jpg, .png, .bmp, .mbm), and it can make screenshots in continuous mode automatically every few seconds. You can choose different shortcut keys to shoot your screen, and it works on phones without an edit (pencil) key.
SuperScreenshot is unsigned, so you'll have to sign it yourself or install it on a hacked phone with certificate checking switched off. Or you can get the old version of Screenshot by Anthony Pranata. This has less features, but it is signed so you can install it straight away.
Tip: if you can't remove the OPDA watermark on your screenshots from the settings menu, go to C:\data\SuperScreenshot on your phone (or E:\data\SuperScreenshot on your memory card), remove the watermark file, and restart SuperScreenshot. Now it should shoot clean pictures without any watermarks.

Total Patrol now even more alert
Mobile surveillance program Total Patrol reminds you of missed calls and messages and tells you when you're battery is running low. You can set any alert frequency you like, and get warned by sound, light, and vibration. Even when your phone is running a silent profile.
The new version offers many more alert customisation options and consumes less battery power.
Total Patrol is unsigned, so you'll have to sign it yourself or install it on a hacked phone with certificate checking switched off.

Bug fix update for Nokia chat program Contacts on Ovi
Contacts on Ovi (formerly known as Nokia Chat) is Nokia's instant messenger application that integrates with your phone's contacts list.
It does not connect to MSN, AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, etc. It only connects to Google Talk and other Jabber-based networks, but you can't just install the program and log into Google Talk. You have to make a Contacts on Ovi account first. You can use a fake phone number and a fake email address if you don't want to share your contact info with Nokia. You'll need to add your GoogleTalk contacts to Contacts on Ovi, and when you update your GoogleTalk contact list you'll also have to update your Contacts on Ovi contacts. You'll appear twice in the contacts lists of your friends, because they'll see your Contacts on Ovi identity in addition to your Google Talk name.
Contacts on Ovi is far from ready, and in its current state it ranks among the worst instant messengers for Symbian. But Nokia says they've fixed a lot of bugs in the latest version, although they won't say which bugs.

Nokia Map Loader alternative AvMapsLoader updated
AvMapsLoader by Andreas Vogel is a Nokia Map Loader alternative that doesn't require PC Suite. You don't need to install it, so you can run it from a USB drive. It's a lot lighter on computer resources than Nokia's own Map Loader.
It runs on Windows (unfortunately it needs .net) and Linux (MONO required), but not on Mac OS X or Symbian. AvMapsLoader won't talk to your phone: you'll have to take your memory card out and put it in a card reader, so it won't work on the Nokia N95 8GB or other phones with fixed memory. It doesn't dowload maps for Nokia Maps 3.0 beta yet, but it gets all the maps and voices for Nokia Maps versions 2.0 and 1.0.
New in AvMapsLoader: improved download statistics and log messages, and errors because of overwriting read only files are gone.
If you can't use AvMapsLoader or if you want maps for Nokia Maps 3.0 beta, there's the Nokia Map Loader Alternative site, which works with all web browsers on all operating systems, even with the web browser on your phone.
