7 most unusual and amazing applications for the Nokia 5800
I want to introduce you to the most unusual, in my opinion, applications for the first touchscreen smartphone Nokia 5800, which surprised me when we first met. Some of them can be very useful in everyday life, while others may seem just funny. I will not talk about such banal programs as GPS-navigator, voice recorder or IP-phone. They are really interesting and necessary, but they are available in many other modern communicators and have already been discussed many times.
Charming puzzle game. Your task is to reach the black and white flag. To do this, you have to roll the ball around the playing field, without landing in the pit. However, you will have to control not the ball, but the plane of the playing field, tilting the phone in the right direction. This feature is provided by a built-in accelerometer.
You need to choose the type of ball: metal, rubber or tennis. Physics is realistic, and impacts on the walls of the maze are accompanied by vibrations.
The game has 40 fields and a level editor. There is also a version for the iPhone.

In this calculator, expressions are entered using the stylus. The program recognizes handwritten formulas on the fly and calculates them. You just write an expression, put an equal sign and get an answer. If you accidentally draw the wrong character, simply cross it out and it will disappear from the screen. If there is not enough space on the screen for your expression, you can scroll through it using the arrow buttons at the edges of the screen. The functions sin, cos, tan, ln , etc. are supported. In order to use them, you need to drag them from the edge of the screen to the right place. Direct writing and subsequent recognition is not yet supported. But the constants e and pi you can safely write by hand.
By the way, this program is also available for N800, N810 and for Windows PC.

Disk phone simulator. After starting, a dialing disk appears on the screen. Number you need to dial a finger. When the disk returns to its original position, the phone vibrates. The screen displays dialed digits. After that, you can press the Call button to make a call to the subscriber with the dialed number.

Very necessary in the household flashlight. Able to shine white or red using flash LEDs. The display of the phone can also be used as a light source. I searched with him under the sofa for the lost part from the designer and illuminated the car wheel at night in an attempt to pump it up.
Flashlight has another fun feature - the transfer of messages through Morse code. Enter the message and click Send .
