Daddy's Eye is a powerful call monitoring application for Symbian S60 third-edition devices that enables remote monitoring of voice calls and SMSes.

There are a plethora of applications offering remote call monitoring features but what sets Daddy's Eye apart from the competition is its online monitoring feature which can upload recorded voice calls/SMS over an HTTP server and even email to a preset email ID. The application runs in stealth mode, meaning that the phone user is largely unaware of the activities of Daddy's Eye. All the settings can be password-protected to prevent unauthorized changes to the application.

While the application offers an exhaustive feature set for remote monitoring, at US$35, the pricing may prove to be a dampener. However, this application can be effectively used for keeping a close eye on your dear ones, provided that the user is comfortable with the pricing.

A trial version of the application can be downloaded from our forum:

Best Game: Captain Fatal 3D

First Person Shooting games are the most popular games on several platforms and with Captain Fatal 3D, users of Symbian S60 third-edition devices can now enjoy a shooting game on their mobile devices.

The gameplay is very similar to that of Wolfenstein on the PC platform with gameplay involving picking up weapons and other ammunition while killing enemies as the users navigate through the maze. The graphics are top notch, while details of weaponry and ammunition add to the realistic feel of the game.

While the graphics and gameplay are impressive, processing power of the mobile devices may be a major hiccup for smooth gameplay.

Captain Fatal 3D can be downloaded from the publisher.

In the present gloomy times of an economic recession, a bright and vibrant theme can just provide the motivation one is looking for. Floral by Toxic is one such bright hued theme for S60 third-edition devices.

As the name might suggest, Floral has an overall fresh feel to it with its customised icon set and bright wallpapers. While the icon set is not very different from the default Symbian icon set, they do blend in with the colour settings of the theme.

While the lightning-like symbols for signal and battery stand out on the home-screen, the red fonts for headlines are perfectly visible in the yellow background for the other screens.

The theme may be too bright but overall the design is very satisfactory. The theme can be downloaded from our forum:
