I am pretty sure that even with the above things considered, you still won't be able to count more than a dozen of apps you need.

A browser, a RSS feed reader, an e-mail client, a SSH client, a twitter client, an IM client and tons of widgets
Good. Let us count now:

1. Browser (usually built-in).
2. RSS feed reader.
3. Email client (usually built-in).
4. SSH client.
5. Twitter client.
6. IM client.
7. Widgets (usually free).

This accounts for the total of 7 (seven) applications you need. Two of them are built-in, Another one is free. Out of the remaining 4, RSS reader and SSH client are free for Symbian/S60 phones. This leaves you with exactly 2 (two) applications to buy.

I hope you see what I've meant now
