Comparing applications that have exactly the same goal (i.e. make a better Calendar) is always going to be tricky, and although each category was very close, there has to be a declared winner. And with a 2-1 score, the All about Symbian best Calendar replacement goes to Aqua Calendar from Pocket Torch by a very small margin.

You know I hope Nokia pulls a Google or Microsoft and actually buys one of these developers out. The built in PIM on Series 60 devices is satisfactory but it could be so much better. Nothing can touch Palm’s built in PIM suite, and sometimes I wish I would’ve gotten a Treo instead. Then reality comes back and I realize my phone never crashed, I have built in WiFi, support for WCDMA when T-Mobile launches it in 07, and I have a larger keyboard that supports my freakishly large hands.

    FYI — no current phone has support for T-Mobile’s WCDMA offerings coming down the pipeline. Euro phones use 1900 as an uplink and 2100 as a downlink. T-Mobile doesn’t have spectrum to implement the 1900 uplink, so they will most likely end up doing the uplink on the 1700 band. This means that _no_current_phone_ will support T-Mob USA’s WCDMA.

    Otherwise, I completely agree ;)

    Thanks for breaking the bad news olly, better now then later I suppose hehe

    The actual main issue with T-Mobile and US 3G is the 2100 band. In the US, the 2100 band is exclusively used by the government. T-Mo is going to run on a variation of the 2100 band so it doesn’t interfere with the government.

    BTW – I agree…I would never trade my E61 for a Treo. I do miss some of the PIM functionality but not enough to deal everything else that was going on.

    Hmmm thanks for all this information Foad, do you know when t-mobile will launch 2100 mhz support in the usa?
