TamsS60 - the S60 Blog

My long-term pal Mike Mace has recently posted an editorial about the Symbian Foundation - he called it “The End of the Dream“; and didn’t appear to be too happy about it. Nevertheless, he posted a few interesting links that Symbian developers and fans alike should not miss out on.

First of all, two Symbian executives began blogging a few days ago. David Wood’s blog is here; John Forsyth’s sits here.

Finally, TheRegister has a very long story on the history of Psion (the company that initially developed Symbian) - if you have a bit of time, look at it here.

The Nokia E71 has been reviewed before - now, its smaller sibling aka E66 has hit an analyst’s desk. Alfredo Padilla from wirelessinfo managed to get his heads onto one of these boxen and put its through its paces.

The phone fared pretty well except for minor eekers - get the full scoop here:

TamsS60 has covered Nokia’s latest internet tablet(the N810) for a few times in the past - anyways, the folks at CNET’s have just posted a review to their web site:

In order to save you the read, the device is rated 7.7/10; the device looses points for cramped controls(!!!), lack of speed and PIM applications and the expensive GPS option.

While wondering about which kind of processor powers my Nokia N71, I stumbled across a very interesting site that contains a list of all processors ever used in Nokia smartphones:

The list seems to be quite up-to-date - the N95 8GB is already mentioned…
