When I am not making calls, checking email or checking info on the web I use my handset Nokia 5800 as an audiobook player (Audible is my preferred service at present) music player and Podcast player.
I have a question
Loads of podcasts I would like to subscribe to seem only to be available via the dreaded iTunes pc application and this is not available to Nokia 5800 users. Meaning I have to install iTunes on a PC then download them as mp3 files and play them that way
However I prefer to use my device to manage podcasts is there anyway to find the podcasts stream details and enter them manually? After all that is exactly what iTunes does?
I have owned the ... T68i T610, P800, P900, P910, P990, W950, P1, W960 But SE have now totally lost the plot. | |

@Nitro Fan, podcasts are generally managed on the distribution website using a simple XML page (accessible using RSS) and this is what iTunes picks up. Generally you should be able to go to the web page of the podcast provider and determine their links.
for example, I watch alot of CNET video podcasts (although admitedly via iTunes which I have no issue with), but if you go to their site you can find their video podcast page here and there you can see itunes links (for subscribing to the podcast within itunes), or a simple RSS link. Normally you can use the RSS link in other podcast apps (I did this on the few nokias I've had) and that works fine

On Nokia phones, the best is the Nokia Podcasting application.
One way of grabbing the URL of a podcast available in iTunes is to subscribe to it and then simply right-click and select 'Copy Podcast URL'.
