  1. I'd rather have voice input by qIroS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When using something outside, in the cold, I can't see my handwriting being steady enough for it to read due to shivering or wearing gloves.

    elo, cul8r would probably come out as X$%£%"(*&*(&D

  2. Smart phone synchronizing for Linux users?? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I am looking for a smart phone that syncronizes well calender programs for my Linux box. Is Treo 600 the only option, or are there others?.

  3. use it first by RMH101 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    i've had an SE P800, a P900 and am now using a Nokia 7610. All run Symbian OS, but the Nokia's *way* better to use. It may look odd, but it does the business with much less mither. One thing they're good at is usability.

  4. Future of Series 60 smartphones by Late · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Nokia has a way of hiding interesting future information in press releases under phone releases. Check out this press release from series60.com which is also available directly from Nokia and in some of the press coverage. It basically says that, Series 60 will have higher resolutions, pen and keyboard input and a lot more in the near future.

    Also in the press coverage is a neat little snipped about testing the new 3220 Near Field Communications shells as contactless public transport tickets in Germany. That would be a great improvement over the current state of the art which is at least here in Finland is text message single trip tickets, which are handy, but hard to check quickly and probably crackable in the long run.

    Nokia announced in June that Series 60 will feature SVG UI and viewer support.

    Nokia rocks!!
