@Dr Spaceman : Are they based in Asia? Either way, they may be using 25/50Hz PAL/SECAM recording equipment (instead of the 30/60Hz NTSC that we have here). LCD screens produce more or less universally 60Hz output so the recording equipment is a little out of phase with the screen. They're probably using "wacky Asian" camcorders! :P
P.S. I loved you in 30 Rock!

It's got "chicklets" for keys? THAT's got to be awkward.

Aww, crap, not the kind of thing you want to go "First!" over ... not that I would do that anyway.

This weekend everyone that I normally text with got all mad at me for blowing them off ... I was wondering why Saturday was such a "slow" day. It's working OK now but this is unacceptable. Sprint must have been having some issues though. I'm not buying this "it's the Hero" stuff. The problems started when all of the sudden my phone was shown to be roaming while in the home area and then the time zone was automatically updated to be in South America and one hour off. WTF?

"None of them are accessible, leaving you only an external USB drive as an expansion option."

None of the IS accessible.

"Linguo IS dead!" ... *shuts down*

Be there AND be square!

I said, TUAW, huh

Absolutely nothing

I think we all know The Comic Book Guy wrote that review.

I don't "usually" wish for someone to die but I really wish Nokia would just croak. I have purchased more phones from them than I care to remember (most recently the N80 and N95 8GB) and I'm done being disappointed. They build a nice phone, put some good specs on it, then they promptly ABANDON it and go after the next thing. Where are the software and firmware updates? Why include OTA updates if there won't ever be any (in two years of owning the N80 and one year of the N95)? Their desktop comm apps are pathetic (although they have improved in UI and stability considerably in the last few years). I go to s60.com recently to look for new apps and to see if they're doing anything to respond to the iPhone frenzy ... yeah, they did ... they shut s60.com down. They now point you to symbian.org (I saw web sites in the early 90s that looked more high tech) and nokia.com ... the latter points you to s60.com for your app needs. Seriously.

The iPhone is not practical as a _phone_ to me but it's an amazing little device with a wonderful user experience. I just may have to pull the trigger one of these days and get one. It's either that or the HTC Fuze or the HTC Hero. It's so sad that none of these really gets me excited enough to go for it. Perhaps we should all go back to using a phone for what we really needed it for in the first place: to make calls.

I apologize if this appears out of place. All I'm thinking is, this is a very expensive, very well equipped phone that will most likely fail to meet any of its expectations and promises. At this point the only thing you can expect is to be let down and abandoned by Nokia. Maybe owners get a better experience in Europe where Nokia isn't an outsider in the carrier arena.

Now, now ... let's not forget racist, ignorant, low-brow, delinquent, underachieving, maladjusted ... dang, only six derogatory terms ... work is frying my brain today.
