Nokia 6120 Classic and Nokia 8800 Sirocco GoldA lot really happened over the last couple of days. I was so damn ill that I haven’t been writing since Monday. But I’m back to defend all the right (that’s Symbian) values.

First, Nokia released a simple-looking candybar smartphone – 6120 Classic, a device that no one would say is fast as hell (sports an HSDPA radio). Then, we also saw a new 8800 Sirocco from Nokia, but this time dressed in 18-carat gold plating. The lack of functionality is easily compensated with all the gold. :)

Finally, the Finnish giant announced S60 widgets. Despite the fact that we’ve already seen several mobile widget solutions, some of them even coming from Nokia (WidSets) — what distinguishes this announcement is that this time Nokia promises a desktop-like widgets gone mobile. In other words, Nokia bets that millions of new applications could be available within a year for the new platform.

Now, back to mocking Will and his WinMo things. Will, man – what about stability? I haven’t seen any responses from you man? Yeah it’s nice to see HTC rising, but I still want your comment on stability. Spill it out! :)

I’m exhausted. Still have to rest. Arguing with Will, and writing such words as “WinMo” and “HTC” always gets me dizzy. Stay tuned… :)

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
