I for one dont like a touchscreen, its too frigging inconvinient at times. Does that mean i can not have a smartphone? N since i’m not a business professional i dont need office doc editing and even if i do i can always purchase it. I respect your opinion and may be it is accurate for say an Eseries S60 device but not with the nseries

Smartphones can be noted by several features which include, but are not limited to, touchscreen, operating system, and tethered modem capabilities on top of the default phone characteristics. A full-fledged email support seems to be a characteristic key defining feature found in all existing and announced smartphones as of 2007[2]. Most smartphones also allow the user install extra software, normally even from third party sources, but some phones vendors like to call their phones smartphones even without this feature.

Smartphone features tend to include Internet access, e-mail access, scheduling software, built-in camera, contact management, accelerometers and some navigation software as well as occasionally the ability to read business documents in a variety of formats such as PDF and Microsoft Office.

I personally HATE QWERTY keypads, and for the love of me cannot understand why people think they are faster for emails and such. I prefer the standard keypads as found on the Nokia N95. I can shoot out text messages and full length emails about 4x as fast vs a QWERTY pad.

Unless the QWERTY pad is something you can lay flat on a table and pound on like a PC or Laptop keyboard then I’ll take the regular keypad anyday

@timmay
Do you realise nokia has different classes of phones for different target people. Have you ever heard of nokia business and fashion phones?
If you have you wouldn’t bringup the issue of the N95 not being bought for employees. Most companies i’ve seen buy the communicator/E-series for their staffs, and not these types.
Not like these series can’t do the job, but they weren’t fashioned for that.

I guess it’s just my opinion, everyone is entitled to their own

eh?

GSM radio is quad band.

Does anyone have quad band 3G?

HTC has tri-band 3G but I’ve never heard of quad band 3G.

What are these four mythical frequencies? 450, 1700, 1900 and 2100?

The term really is used too loosely – it’s all marketing – I’m with timmay on that one.

Maybe it’s the most amazing “funphone” on the market, sure. And I’m sure plenty of real enthusiasts will go out and buy a bluetooth keyboard to carry around with them whenever they want to reply to an email or comment on a website. But c’mon, what company do you EVER see buying these for their employees? Simply put, it’s a phone designed to be cool and fun. Not really useful.

Don’t get me wrong though, from everything I’ve seen Symbian S60 is awesome, and I think some REAL smart phones will be putting it to more “useful” use in the near future.

I remember it being referred to as a smart phone.
Wikipedia is only a few clicks away buddy research your material before you post junk.
Cheers.

Regarding the Office things, you can always install the 3rd party software.

And the touchscreen is not envisioned for this device. Or that’s at least according to Nokia.

Know any other device that can play YouTube at this moment?

And if you bothered to research it the on board documents viewer can be upgraded to editing capabilities via SMS payment… The functions there you just need to unlock it.
