Here's a list that I've compiled for the top 10 free applications that's worth having on your P1i: (And by the way, it's not in order. I believe there's at least 5 apps that's going to tie for 1st place)
- Fring - The only FREE Skype client supporting the P1i. It's a nifty app, supporting Skype calls via
GPRS/3G/WiFi, and also acts as a instant messenger for MSN and GoogleTalk users. The only thing that might improve the software is if it supports video calling too... - Google Maps - I'm sure everyone knows what this is for; it keeps you from getting lost. And not to mention that now there's the "My Location" feature for the P1i too, which takes your providers mobile service towers to find your precise location, thereby providing a free GPS service for users. Only downside is that it needs a high usage/unlimited data plan.
- Gmail App - Some people said it didn't work on their P1i, but it seems other users have found a way around it. Either way, it retains the neat Gmail interface on your P1i rather than using the default Messaging app for emails. Downside is that there is no Push feature even though you've got an unlimited data plan; but I'm sure Google will think of something really soon.
- Widsets - Have I mentioned this before? Basically it's an app allowing the user to add "Widgets" in it. These "Widgets" provides content, any content; ranging from games, to email checking, RSS feeds, etc. Definitely recommended for any user wishing for Internet content. Any please do get a data plan, or things will get really expensive.
- Opera Mini - Must I talk about why its on the list? It's superior over the built-in Opera v8.65 in almost every way. And it's a great alternative browser, very lightweight and speedy. A must get for all users.
- Escarpod - A really excellent podcast and RSS player that works on the UIQ platform. Even though version 1 isn't out yet, I expect great things from this app. No longer do you have to get your podcasts through your PC, it's all available from this app at a click of the button!
- GDesk - the highly customisable Desktop application. A must for everyone to get the most out of your P1i - you can implement a new interface looking like the iPhone one, the WM one, as well as other different designs. A great alternative than the default SE standby screen, that's for sure. It's surely a revolutionary application, I don't think any app like this exists on other mobile platforms.
- eBuddy - need I say anymore? Excellent looking interface, supporting MSN, Yahoo, AIM services. Put that with the P1i and you'll get a happy user for certain.
- Virtual Radio - For all the radio station lovers out there. The app has plenty of streams for Music radio stations. Despite being ad-enabled, it's much better than going online and looking for streams to play over the streaming Internet player. Personally, I only use this to listen to Virgin Radio...
- Shozu - The one and only application combining Facebook, Flickr, Youtube, Blogger and many other web services. Best of all it's free too!
If you feel that I've missed anything, feel free to comment (I'm limited to only 10 apps afterall); post what you think the Top 10 should be too!
Nice idea, I should make that to!?
Man .. Tonz and Tonz of thanx .. this listing is realy nice .. and best of the best that most of them are freeware :)
GDesk should be no.1. It is the only application that is better than linkboy and other desktop related programs, and you can remove the stupid operator logo and set any menu and wallpaper you want.
It is like a wife for your P1i, without which he is incomplete.
Fring truly is a great s/w, but unfortunately it doesn't allow you to call in GPRS/EDGE mode. You should edit that part of your list. But it's a very nice list indeed.

Hi all, I've created a rather nice and simple theme for Gdesk. To run it make sure you download the latest version of G-desk then grab the theme from here:

I hope you like it!
Nice list.
Can you do a top 10 applications (not free) for P1i?
I think you should try this out.
But I will trust your judgement more than mine. I have not tried out all the features. I am unable to download mails in my p1i but some of my mails (only gmail) were automatically pushed.
The best feaure was to get files from your computer. It is unbelievingly easy and simple. you just have to have your desktop client up and running. I don't know how secure it is.
Please review this app.

I failed to point out one more feature. I use GPRS and i found Morange to be much more economical than other apps.
What abt a list of most used 10 cracked apps on UIQ3 mobiles??
