Nokia 5800 App Review: Mobbler

By jametif | March 25, 2009

screenshot0049A device like Nokia 5800 is a music player pack with everything that we need for an everyday life adventure. All the stuff that it can do, plus once in a while, you can make phone calls too. An application like Mobbler takes advantage of the stuff that Nokia 5800 can do.

Mobbler is a player for all your favorite radio station. You need to get a log in, in order to start using the app. I created an account through last.fm. Once you put your user and password, it will connect online and should be ready for use. The interface is good, very-user friendly, basic icons that you see on your music player. You can start by going to options, and start new station. Type an artist or a song, whichever you prefer. It can search by tags or recommended. Once a song is playing you can click the heart icon to add song to Loved Tracks, which I think they should've called favorites. You can also select the ghostbuster sign or stop sign if you want to ban the track for future playing. Another icon on the interface is the red mobbler icon, which takes you to an Amazon website if you like to purchase the track that you're listening to. It also shows the album picture of the song, if there is any.

Mobbler can be played using 2G(EDGE), 3G, and even WiFi. I tested 2G, it was able to play ok, but if you're moving and switching between networks, it pauses once in a while. 3G is much better of course, although it drains more battery, we all know that. WiFi is the best, especially if you're at home, no problem with connection whatsoever.

All in all, Mobbler is an online radio station you can take anywhere you go. When you have it installed on your phone, it really feels like a music center. The best part is it's a freeware.

    Just for your information last.fm are making some radical changes: http://www.last.fm/group/Last.fm+Web+Services/forum/21604/_/517212 which might make Mobbler unusable in the very near future. Too bad, I love this application…
