Asha 501 : essential apps missing

Hi,
now that Whatapp is finally on the horizon, I wonder when other essential apps will be available on the Asha 501? Most importantly, I would need the following apps:
dropbox
Skype
here maps (for Cambodia)
Mail exchange (so that I can sync calendar and contacts)
Does anybody have any news on these apps or similar apps that could be used instead?
Thanks, J.

@Jonatan123
We don't have any info when those apps will be available for Asha501, hoping few of those arrives on the next update which still is not sure when Nokia have planned, they don't generally release update information before.
My Asha 501 came pre-installed with Here maps and there it was updated recently too. Here maps on Asha 501 doesn't have offline maps, it uses network services to show you the location and it does shows you direction from place A to place B.

  • Asha 501- keyboard apps or multiple keyboards

    I'm an Asha 501 user, my fingers are very much large/fat so when ever I try to touch on the screen somtimes it goes to other keywords.
    my sister also used the same keyboard and her fingers are tiny, she has no issues in accessing the keyboard. but I've seen other devices in the 3 inch where they have provided the keyboard with much better option like spaces in between the letters are sufficient for me to type without any errors.
    If possible try to develop an app for users like me. In some cases the landscape mode helps, but for some apps or interface the landscape mode doesn't activate.....
    Plz help...

    @vsai :
    I do not have any trouble with the Keypad(virtual).... But i prefer ENGILSH PHONE KEYPAD rather than full keypad.
    Its pretty easy to type the letters and spacious toooo So just give a try And as far as i know there is no possibility to develop an app that too regarding keypad in this platform. But anyways hope for it

  • Nokia Asha 501 - Some apps are not supported

    i have see some applications are not supported why?

    Same here, when I go for that 4shared app in the Nokia Store. When I download that JAD directly via the Internet (Nokia Xpress browser) and http://store.ovi.com/content/536062/Download I get:
    Nokia Asha 503 (Product Code: 059V3Z1) wrote:
    English: 4shared can't be installed. The trusted certificate that was used to authorise the app is corrupt. Please contact the app provider to get this fixed.
    German: 4shared kann nicht installiert werden. Das vertrauensw. Zertifikat zur Autorisierung d. Progr. ist beschädigt. An Programmanbieter wenden.
    That is nice, because this app was not signed by its author but by the Nokia Store team with the ‘Nokia Online CA I’. Then on my computer, I downloaded that JAD, placed it on a microSD, inserted that microSD into my Nokia Asha 503, and installed via Files » Memory card » 4shared_Mobile_0_5_3: It installed successfully and works! However, it was not placed into the manufacturer domain but in the third-party domain.
    I have no idea what is wrong with this app, yet. Please, let the examples come in! Perhaps more examples, we find a pattern together.

  • Asha 501 - Youtube app official

    When can we get the Youtube app. In the nokia store, I can see many apps but they are not offical. Can we expect the offical youtube app.
    I've heard that youtube app has been removed for lumia series, will it be the same case for asha users too.
    Thanks for you help in advance...

    Is there a need for a separate app? I think Youtube works pretty ok on the phone via Nokia Browser already.

  • 10 best apps for Asha 501..

    Hi
    Can you please suggest few best apps for asha 501 users...

    Though you may get some Random replys to your thread .. BEST is subjective. Something very usefull for one may be utterly useless to the other ..so Best for some particular user need not be the same for you .. You should look for the Applications yourself at the Nokia Store.. Select your Phone..then the area of Interest and check. You may then refer the User Reviews for the particular application  ...

  • Twitter app not working in asha 501

    My twitter app is not working in my asha 501 every time i try to sign in it says username or password is incorrect.please help me!!!

    Hi Rajan321,
    When did this issue start to happen? Are you using the inbuilt Twitter app, or a downloaded one? Are you able to log into your Twitter account using the mobile browser or a PC? 
    Try to clear the phone's browsing history  by going to Browser > slide the toggle screen up > More > Settings > Clear data. Try also to restart your phone. After that, log into your Twitter account and see if it'll be accepted by the device. Note that account usernames and passwords are case-sensitive.
    If it's a downloaded Twitter app, try also to remove and reinstall it from the Store.
    Let us know the outcome.

  • Asha 501 concerns

    Hey friends,never and ever get Asha series phones. They are just a nice piece of **bleep**.The best example is Nokia Asha 501.
    1.Just reset your 501 phone and check it,Your APPNOW app will be missing
    2.Also the browser will be lost.(these are few defects and very recent ones) 
    None of nokia officials addressed this in any of the other threads where many of them complained,if yes then there should be a quick solution rather than taking excuses.
    The biggest **bleep** is that "whatsapp is still not available for this device,so called SMARTPHONE by nokia ! " which was launched early july(in markets).
    The marketing strategy was like cheating ,everyone including nokia priority dealers,retail mobile shop owners etc etc said that this phone would support whatsapp in a month or two. Even though after 4 months there is no whatsapp ! "The same word repeated everywhere "coming soon coming soon "
    After that you(Nokia) said WHATSAPP IS NOT UNDER THEIR HANDS, But on 22nd its very clearly announced that whatsapp will arrive to nokia asha 501 through OTA update. So now the complete work is on Nokia ! So what are you doing right from that day ? or before ? Dont you take this seriously as it doesnt cost 40 or 50k ? Or low end phone ?
    Pages like this damaging nokia reputation. Dont you seriously consider this ????

    Buying an asha or not in the future will remain your own choice and noone is gonna force you about that.
    WhatsApp is not created by Nokia, but is definitely created together. There are works done at both the ends. WhatsApp worked on creating a new version that can be run on the 501 and Nokia helped them with any modifications the system needed to be able to run it properly.
    Everything seems to be ready now. Whatsapp announced that the app has been created and it will now be pushed along with a software update which should be coming within the next 10-15 days.
    That page is not an official Nokia page and Nokia should not be held liable for the content published there.

  • Availability of applications on nokia asha 501

    Nokia asha 501 with fast lane was suppose to be made with all the available features. But certainly this phone is missing some apps people use often i.e, Whatsapp and Instagram. The phone is really good,but would become much better if they launched all the good apps. I shouldn't forget Angry Birds.

    hi mate,
    if you have feedback regarding a Nokia product, it is best if you leave it by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page. bear in mind that availability of certain apps is dependent on the app developer themselves, so perhaps it is better if you contact them.

  • Line with audio messages for Asha 501.

    Line app updated with Audio messages feature and with Recently sent stickers. The app is better than previous version.

    Asha 501 isn't supporter by Nokia suite, so you can't install apps from PC like any other Nokia phone.
    You aren't able to access Nokia store via Wifi as well?. I would suggest a phone settings reset, you *will* lose data stored on the phone so backup before you decide to reset it.
