I remember watching the live announcements when they announced the N96 and N78...they showed a picture of the N78 and people were like :hurl:
Glad they passed that design phase. It worked for the N81 and N85 but I don't know how they managed to make the other phones so ugly.
i wouldnt mind if nokia announced what their future plans are. maybe they just didnt have time to implement kinetic scrolling everywhere thru the OS, but they plan on adding it thru firmware updates. but the thing is nobody knows. c'mon nokia, let us know if you're clueless or not!
I'm also wonder what kind of strategy Nokia has that not to make a global 3G phones like other manufacturers but need to make different Europe and NA version for the top N Series and have people paying premium for it.
Thanks for the tips man. Since I haven't bought my E71, I was wondering if you hack is compatible with fast contact search, i.e., I can type pinyin to locate the contacts with Chinese names. Thanks! :)
