Nokia Unveils "World's Thinnest" QWERTY Smartphone
Barence writes "Nokia has revamped its E-series of business-oriented smartphones with two new models, including the 'world's thinnest' QWERTY device. The GPS-enabled E71 is the slimmer successor to the Nokia E61, with a thickness of only 1cm. It's HSDPA-enabled, offers switchable home screens, and gives a claimed 'two full days of heavy, heavy use.' The E66, on the other hand, is a slide-phone with a conventional numerical keypad and a built-in accelerometer. At the same event, Nokia also gave a tantalizing hint about its plans for an iPhone rival, with its senior vice president saying, 'we will have touchscreen devices coming this year.'"
After playing around with both an iphone and several of it's So called rivals you can tell the manufactors don't have a clue.
the itunes integration is a bonus. The big difference is the hardware/software integration. using the so called rivals was like using PalmOS circa 2000. it did nothing that couldn't be done then. the iPhone is almost interactive in how you touch the screen it responds.
Apple doesn't make the greatest innovations, they simply make them usable.
i thought once I was found, but it was only a dream.
