He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.

    what’s the point of telling the features of this phone
    if this comes like next year
    (after 6 months or so .)
    C’mon nokia bring the s60 fast (in jan that would be fab .)
    everybody knows that
    its gonna be the huge thing (fine u can say the ”it” thing of the year etc .)

    and besides its more ”interactive touching”
    than the iphone (you just have 2 turn the phone back.)
    then the alarm or ”unwanted call’ is rejected or whatever you want to call it .

    It looks like the camera in this one is more clearer
    than the iphone one but it kinda annoys some people
    when you have 2 use the stylus when you text and all .

    P.S pls nokia give some news about the nokia 888
    and the nokia aeon .

    btw : nokia aeon’s has its own clone but its better
    + it came out first than the nokia aeon so who’s the clone phone now ?

    icant find the url (sigh T___T)
    but its in ebay in auction .
    but it says phone case not (whatevr fake name it is)
    but its the clone of the aeon but the phone is
    working and real do .
