Contacts, HTML email, the calader app, whoa! Of course we all know that if it is anywhere near as slow and flaky as Windows Mobile 5 then it won’t take off. I still have to hand it to them, I like how the information is presented.

This is S60’s number one competitor, and I feel like I should bring attention to this:

Less device, more booth. I want to see how well it is laid out.

Hope he covers the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) booth tomorrow.

Straight from Phil’s blog:

Well it’s afternoon here at 3GSM in Barcelona. We’re fortunate
enough to have our hotel about 400m away from the event. In the morning
I demoed S60.com and the S60 Blogs, then in the early afternoon I stood
by the device showcase. On display are the latest 13 phones, including
the five new devices that were launched at 11am this morning.

People have been swarming the S60 booth like crazy to see the Nokia N77, Nokia E90 Communicator, Nokia E65, Nokia E61i, and Nokia 6110 Navigator.
If you have some questions about those devices, please ask in the
comments section and I’d love to answer them. I’ll write more info
about them later tonight.

The S60 Booth.

The S60 crew get together for the morning meeting.

Everyone goes around the booth and quickly describes their demo.

Remember: Don’t leave your stand unattended!!

The "Device Showcase".

On the left is where I’m showing S60.com and the S60 Blogs. On the
right is the "Tune my S60" demo where S60 users can download new
content to their devices.

A view from my room!  The convention center is just up the street around the corner to the right.

The press conference has just ended. I want to get at least 2 hours of sleep. This review is long, very long. I wish I could enjoy it but I’m shot.

You however, whatever time zone you’re in, should check it out over at My-Symbian!

Nokia (NYSE: NOK) was set to announce on Monday three new
cellphones for business users and a new version of its Intellisync
Mobile Suite software for corporate road warriors.

Analysts said that Nokia’s move — along with a similar software
upgrade that Microsoft (NSDQ: MSFT) announced last week — should intensify the
battle to take market share from Research In Motion, the Canadian maker
of BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) devices and software that dominates the market for
corporate wireless e-mail services.

The announcements were scheduled for Monday morning at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.

The E90 Communicator, one of the three devices Nokia is unveiling,
is an update to a Nokia line that has achieved a kind of cult status
among the geekier business set. It looks like a typical candy-bar-
shaped phone, but flips open horizontally to reveal what is essentially
a miniature laptop computer.

David Petts, senior vice president of sales, marketing and services
for Nokia’s enterprise solutions group, said the phone had all of the
latest wireless technology, including Wi-Fi and what is currently the
fastest form of 3G data networking, HSDPA, or high- speed download
packet access. The screen on the new phone is wide enough to view full
Web pages without having to scroll to the left and right, he said. The
Communicator also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, and a video camera for
teleconferencing that faces the user when the phone is flipped open.
The device will be available in the third quarter of the year for about
€750 to €800, or $975 to $1,040, without a contract, Petts said.

The second phone, the E61i, is an updated, slimmer version of
Nokia’s E61, a typical one-piece, flat e-mail phone with a full
keyboard below a large screen. The new model adds a 2-megapixel camera
and a media player, as well as a miniature touch pad that replaces the
navigation key.

Like its predecessor, it supports Wi-Fi and most major corporate
e-mail services, including Blackberry, Visto, Good and Microsoft
Exchange. Petts said that Nokia, knowing that many companies have more
than one wireless e-mail system, wanted to offer "freedom of choice"
and not try and lock customers into its Intellisync product. The phone
will start selling in April for about €400, Petts said.

Nokia’s third new phone, the E65, available this month, is a
candy-bar shaped "slider" with a normal numeric keypad. The phone
emphasizes advanced voice functions for business users like one-touch
conference calling and easy transferring of calls.
