i've had the phone since christmas eve.
just starting to look around the dev community.

on the data corruption bit: large amounts of data comes in and out of the phone regularly.
i found that if use "data transfer" (using the phone as mass storage,) on an old box running win2k, the data is more likely to be unusable on the phone itself. (they were mp3s.) it's fine, since i'm only transferring the data out of the box to the mac.

everything works quite well with the macbook pro (running tiger.)

i've downloaded and used "nokmote." it's quite exciting. a major reason i got this phone instead of hte iphone is because of the old school dev community vibe.

a "niime" port to osx (or at least linux) would be wonderful.

very exciting stuff.

i have 1.

works like a charm, really, frees me from my uzi case full of computer. except:

1. wlan protocol only supports wep passwords.

2. comparing connectivity to my macbook pro, connectivity to pc's not so hot, app package has many touchup and organization tools and add ons that most computers i've used already have apps for. unnecessary i think, (but i'm an art design professional so i am biased here.)
i complain because the apps are so clunky, they crash and need to be updated a whole lot.

3. os on the phone itself crashes a lot.
i've had the phone for just about month and have needed to reinstall the os a couple of times already, which leads to point (4).

4. data corruption/ data loss: music player lists/ anything that gets updated on a regular basis tend to get corrupted fairly quickly.
i've had mp3s become unplayable inside the phone for less than 2 weeks.

5. can't use gmail smtp apparently. maybe i'm just slow.


otherwise, the best thing in the world.
1. bt
2. e-mail on the go.
3. blazing wlan connectivity
4. best camera on a phone ever
5. near dvd qual vids
6. easy to write apps for (python)

i got this phone with the full intention to use it as a tool to produce material professionally.

my first s60 device.
