I was trying to find file explorer for Nokia N70 with Symbian series 60 V2 - second ed. feature pack 3 (Symbian OS v8.1) , which would have similar functions to windows explorer in Windows XP. Although N70 came with its default File Manager, I found it less detailed and informative when exploring the files or directories within the phone. Therefore I searched for alternatives to the default and found two at that time, ie: FExplorer and Y-Browser.
Here is an excerpt from Y-Browser download link above about the application:
Y-Browser is a free file manager application designed for S60 3rd edition Symbian smartphones. All testing is done with Nokia S60 devices only, but it should work as well with other manufacturers S60 smartphones.
Currently Y-Browser only supports 3rd edition S60 mobile phones. No plans to support for earlier edition S60 or UIQ mobile phones are planned
I tried to install it to the phone but after using it for a while, I found a little bit problem with it so that I change to FExplorer. I guessed it might be caused by the different version of S60? I felt disappointed that I could not use Y-Browser which had rich and powerful features. Here is the S60 version list:
• S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1 - Symbian OS v9.2
• S60 3rd Edition - Symbian OS v9.1
• S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 3 - Symbian OS v8.1
• S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 2 - Symbian OS v8.0a
• S60 2nd Edition Feature Pack 1 - Symbian OS v7.0s Enhanced
• S60 2nd Edition - Symbian OS v7.0s
• S60 1st Edition - Symbian OS v6.1
Anyway, my disappointment had been cured after installing FExplorer though it did not have features as rich as Y-Browser's. But it was still powerful for us to sneak around into the phone. I thank Dominique Hugo, the creator of this application, because it helps me to delete unnecessary files or to move files around without the need of PC or notebook. But you must be cautious because you can mess up with system files and make the phone locked without notice :-) I think it is one of the best free applications for S60 out there...
