Includes a built-in camera and various comments about this not coming to North America anytime soon.

  1. ICQ -- not new by TheTomcat · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is not meant as a troll, but:
    I've been able to ICQ to/from my GSM handset (as SMS) for ~1 year now.

    More info here.

    Apparently, one of our local CDMA carriers (Tellus) is offering AIM on their phones, as well..

    Not at all... but why are you complaining like this? This isn't even insightful, it is just a typical ranting.

    You can actually buy a completely different phone if you want to, you know that right?

    People have different usage-patterns, and thus there are lots and lots of different phones on the market. If you feel you belong to a group that are not covered, I suggest you write a letter to the phone-makers and argue why you think it would be benificial to both you and them to create "your dream phone".

  3. You can write your own programmes by streetmentioner · · Score: 5, Insightful
    I think the most important thing is that you can write your own programmes (in C++ or Java) for it. You can download the SDK from www.nokia.com.
