Epocware working on its calendar application for Symbian S60 platform

One of the leading software developers for the Symbian platform thinks he has something to add on top of the existing PIM functionality of the Symbian S60 smartphones. I certainly agree Nokia (NYSE: NOK)’s PIM app could use some fine tuning, hence more advanced users rely on Papyrus or Aqua Calendar. Is there room for another calendar application? I think there is. For instance, users — myself included — have been begging for birthday linkage between calendar and contacts for some time. In addition, we want the calendar that works as fast as possible, and by now Epocware should have the expertise needed for the task.
Anyway, the new application will be called Handy Calendar and the public beta testing is starting soon. In the meantime, feel free to drop your two cents about the upcoming app on MySymbian forums.
I might be interested in such an app as the Calendar app which came with my nokia e61i is not the best.
I love the calendars in these blackberry handsets
Would like web-based calendar with local app, like Gmail on my N95. Preferably with advanced recurrence specificity. Contacts integration is a no-brainer. How about text and voice recognition, too?!
