S60 phones should include a restart option

August 26th, 2009 · 10 Comments

The Address Book standards are broken

July 21st, 2009 · 4 Comments

When will we have one inbox for all communications?

July 19th, 2009 · 6 Comments

I use messaging a great deal, from sms to email to instant messaging to Twitter to video chat to voice mail (unfortunately), I spend a lot of time communicating.  I was thinking recently when will we see messaging apps evolve again?  I’m hoping Google Wave will help but I don’t think it will take it [...]

Contact apps can’t handle 2 people per card… So what about couples?

May 1st, 2009 · 4 Comments

Pushing down on the E75 D-pad doesn’t always work…

April 21st, 2009 · No Comments

Why aren’t more people on Ovi Contacts (IM)?

April 16th, 2009 · 4 Comments

I’m not here to criticize my friends or Nokia or my friends at Nokia.  Nor do I want to pressure them.  But I haven’t seen all that many people on Ovi Chat.  I know what you’re going to say, I don’t need another IM ID.  Well I know lots of people who signed up for [...]
