Possible new E- series device?

Filed under: Articles — stmcgill @ 7:57 pm

[image] Jah spotted this thread over at mobile-review regarding a possibleÂ new E- series device. If the picture is anywhere close I am on it like a shot!

“The new Communicator will be S60 3rd Edition (3.1 precisely) based. The internal screen will be VERY HUGE, and the external screen will be S60 as well – thanks to S60 3rd Edition’s scalable UI. The keyboard will be large and comfortable, too. That’s all for now but more info will come as soon as I know something.”

Not sure if I like the idea of using S60 on a communicator. I really like my E61, but in terms of actual functionality – i.e. contacts, alarms, and calendar – my 9300 was better. You can search contacts by both company and name (if you have a name and company in the E61, the company name won’t show up in the search); there are no recurring alarms for the E61; calendar was better in the 9300. I know that there are 3rd party add-ons that overcome some of these shortcomings, but in my opinion, the series 80 software was much more robust in these areas.

Agree! Calendar on S60 is useless for me. And the 3rd party add-ons are slow and unstable.

that sketch is from one of the presentation in nokia web site, it was shown together with the Nokia Aeon… it is a concept design, and if you noticed that sketch does not have an internal screen, coz the huge external screen is also the internal screen… so that might not be what we will see soon, but on other hand, it doesnt mean it is not being developed as well…

and the quoted sentence is actually taken from my-symbian forum and was stated by Michal Jerz, the owner of the site…
