FreeUnRAR for S60 v3 and 5th Ed
Freeware And Easy To Use Decompression Tool
 FreeUnRAR is a freeware RAR decompressing tool on S60 3rd and 5th edition devices. It does not provide many advanced functions available in the desktop RAR application and the feature I miss the most is ability to compress file(s) into rar archive but after all it is not main purpose of this freeware application.
FreeUnRAR is designed to help your work with RAR archives on your provide an easy to use tool capable to decompress RAR files downloaded from Internet or received as attachments in e-mail messages and helps you to keep your business with you when you are on the go and have no access to desktop computer.
Furthermore it supports decompressing multi-volume RAR file as well as password-protected files which makes it the rar decompresser for S60 devices.
There is an also option to associate rar archive to FreeUnRAR but version with the file Recognizer requires hacked phone or need to be signed. It is highly suggestible to get this extended version or install recognizer plug-in, you’ll get a nice icon for rar files and automated executing.
In computing, RAR is a proprietary archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery, and file spanning. It was developed by a Russian software engineer, Eugene Roshal (hence the name RAR: Roshal ARchive).
Talk about advantages of RAR against the ZIP compression is not main goal of this website but I have to metion that RAR format has an excellent level of compression.
RAR files can usually compress content 8 to 30 percent better than ZIP files and it will be great to have ability compress files for the backup purpose as well as for easier and faster sending from mobile device.
