I am really becoming attached to my Nokia 6630 (thanks Nokia and eTech). I have stopped carrying around my iPaq, because when I’m mobile I can get all that info that I was using it for via the 6630.
Some of the interfaces to Notes and Tasks are pretty simplistic, and their doesn’t appear to be a global or localized search function, but I am still learning. But the sync up to Outlook is really good on Contacts and Calendar.
The other thing I really like is that I can load any MP3 or a sample of a MP3 to the unit and make it a ring tone. That is nice.
The only issue I have with it right now is that the buttons are a little small for my hands and I make errors plugging in numbers at times when I try to go to fast.
Some news items I need to dig into though could make the device even more useful (the operating system on the phone is Symbian OS):
- Navicore Personal GPS &
navigation software for Symbian - Vodafone
launches Vodafone Speaking Phone - Quickoffice
Announces $7 Million Investment to Enable Office - Pocket Hollywood
- SCN
Ltd Launches Truphone for Newest Series 60 Handsets - E3 – N-Gage
capable smartphones - Half a Million Music Titles on
Vodafone live! 3G
I also noticed that Nokia has a new "slate" device in the works: "Nokia 770, 4-inch horizontal screen, running Linux, and selling for $350." [computerworld] It appears to be be geared for mobile data access, but with Linux available it might also make for a good podcaster tool.
