robert, any word on the processor? nokia's processors have typically topped out pretty low in the 350mhz range but have still been able to handle tons. would love to see an uber processor in a symbian fone - henry
everything has been about convergence. yes, manufacturers have been innovating. bberry w/ its haptic touch, sony w/ the panels on xperia and huge slider screen. Nokia has taken pretty much EVERYTHING that phones that have JUST been released in the past months and incorporated all the features into a slick device, even building on what’s out. 5 megapixel camera w/ DUAL FLASH, 16:9 screen, fm transmitter, etc…sometimes you don’t need to fix what’s good. Just look at nokia and s60, it just works. iphone interface is just that, a pretty face that masks underwhelming features available on most phones. symbian is relatively MUCH more open, and nokia has implemented all the hardware you could want into this phone, save for multitouch. all these features are “old hat” to geeks, but to the average consumer this device is pretty amazing. and i’m sure it is for plenty of other geeks out there, too. - henry
Don't get me wrong I love twitter - but to suggest that Friendfeed is the toolkit to provide innovation around twitter is taking it a bit far. Otherwise, we wouldn't use feeds like blogs, flickr, last.fm etc. on Friendfeed. I think it goes over and above Twitter - meaning that Twitter feeds in and enhances Friendfeed, not the other way around. - Sofia Gkiousou
my gf hung up on me and is no longer talking to me. i told her the n97 made my entire month...and was friendfeed-ing instead of listening to her... - henry
