Nokia’s got a cute little app in their beta lab that lets you play sound effects by hitting numbers 1-9 on your keypad. S60 and Series 40 phones can pick this one up for free, but little love for QWERTY Nokia phones and none for touchscreens. Aw. It would be cool if you could program in your own sound effects and set your own graphics, maybe save different sets for different occasions; get a prank collection with various flavours of flatulence, another with Arnold Schwarzenegger bytes for prank calls… The possibilities!
Simon Sage’s education largely surrounded writing, technology and online community, leading him to begin his blogging career at www.BlackBerryCool.com and to quickly discover a vibrant and active community surrounding BlackBerry and mobile technology. In exploring RIM’s platform, he has learned what enterprises are looking for in mobility as well as what makes the innocuous BlackBerry so appealing to them. Recently Simon’s been covering RIM’s gradual move into an already-crowded consumer market, and the impact of burgeoning challengers, such as the iPhone, as well as long-time leaders, like Nokia, on BlackBerry’s advancement.
With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer. At IntoMobile, you can count on his posts being even-handed, well-informed and thought-out.
