Today I will introduce an application to you, that is essential for every operating system. Since the file browser that ships with Nokias Symbian devices is pretty poor regarding functionality, there is a big market for advanced file managers. Y-Browser is one that tries to fill the gap.

Review conditions

I installed the latest version 0.88(2) of Y-Browser on my Nokia E65.

Installation

Y-Browser is installed very quick: just point your internet browser to drjukka.com and click on the download link. The installations starts immediately, just choose one or more of the 32 available languages and you can begin to use it after some seconds. But in order to gain full functionality you should install some of the plugins that are also available on the official site.

First view

As expected from a native application, Y-Browser starts pretty fast. You will get to see the drives of your phone and browse around your file system via the directions keys.

I think it is time to introduce a little tool I have been using very often on my phone, especially for the reviews you can read here. ScreenSnap is a small helper application for taking screenshots of your smartphone display. Since there are so many screenshot utilities I just tried out some of them. The one I sticked to was ScreenSnap.

Review conditions

For this review I have been using ScreenSnap Version 1.00 on my Nokia E65.

Installation

ScreenSnap is as usually very easy to install, there is no need to sign it or set up anything special. Just download the file and follow the installation wizard.

Review conditions

I was running Y-Tasks on my Nokia E65 smartphone using the latest version 0.50 of the application and all plug-ins.

Installation

At first you have to install the main application Y-Tasks. The installer creates an extra folder “DrJukka.com” where all applications of the same author, like Y-Browser, will be moved into. Since the main application is just some kind of loader, you need to install several plug-ins. Without plug-ins you can’t do anything with Y-Tasks. Installing all plug-ins is quite a long procedure, but you are very flexible and don’t need to install things you don’t use. Uninstalling single plug-ins is also possible.

First view

Once everything is installed you get a pretty powerful tool. In the main menu you can switch to landscape mode or choose between list or grid styled menus, while the grid menu is hard to read.

For instance you can view all applications installed on your phone with the possibility to show information or launch them. You can also view running tasks, switch to them or close them directly. Functions mostly take some seconds to load. They do what they are supposed to do: providing information on your system.
