well the last app remaining for harmattan is true caller but it isn't that important . I think in social and small utilities and media players or browsers we have many options . And for hike wazapp have far more user base and they are all the same .

as for true caller i got a answer from true caller ( CEO ? I don't remeber but it's written in wiki page of missing apps ) he said they would help any developer creating the app . And if you post on twitter or facebook i don't think they will create them ( meego dead for them and user base isn't that high ) but you could try .

Edit : Developers response :@Nami_Zar (true
caller CEO ) However if there are any
community developers who want to
develop it we will support them
that was in 2012

Yes, but the only way to force them is a giant user base.
Also keep in mind that "porting" apps with a substantial GUI or other parts that rely on the platform they were develped for, is as hard as developing a new app. The only exception is a multiplatform toolkit, but both applications you mentioned don't seem to use one.
An app like true caller would not be very hard, iff you had access to their servers, i.e. iff they provide a public api.

If I remember correctly I tried Truecaller for symbian some long time ago. When I found out it wants to upload your contacts DB to their servers I deleted it really quickly.
