Nokia og Windows Phone 7

Jeg har nettopp fått meg en HTC Mozart, en telefon som kjører Windows Phone 7. Jeg er storfornøyd, og i så måte så kunne det jo hende at jeg ønsket at Nokia satset på Windows Phone 7. Men nei, det gjør jeg ikke. Jeg blir vel egentlig ganske provosert over at analytiker, Adnaan Ahmad, får store deler av den teknologiske pressen til å spekulere i om Nokia dropper Symbian og Meego til fordel for en tidlig versjon av Windows Phone 7.

Adnaan Ahmad skrev ganske enkelt et åpent brev til Nokia toppleder Stephen Elop, en tidligere underdirektør i Microsoft, og ifølge New York Times har brevet, og en forestående analytikerkonferansen, fyrt opp under Nokia-aksjen. Den har gjort noe så sjeldent som å stige fire dager på rad!

Nokia er ganske snart klar med første versjon av Meego. En artikkel i ArsTechnica skrev for et par dager siden at Nokia nå var klar på å legge på sitt eget grafiske grensesnitt på MeeGo og at de derfor hadde lukket tilgangen for eksterne utviklere til denne delen av kildekoden.

Meego er videre et samarbeidsprosjekt med en annen gigant, nemlig Intel. Prosjektet står nok sterkt. Jeg tror også at Symbian foreløpig står seg, Nokia har investert for mye, til bare å avskrive det og operativsystemet kan brukes på billige telefoner en god stund til. Så gjenstår spørsmålet, er det plass til et tredje operativsystem i Nokias telefonportefølje? Neppe…

Så får det heller våge seg at Digi.no, ikke har mer vet enn at de smeller opp et brev fra en analytiker som en hovedsak!

iPhone – No thank you!

Not long ago that I praised the iPhone, and I still think it to be the best mobilephone available for the money! Nothing has changed there, and I was happy that my boss told me when he wanted me to have one. Sadly the latest moves from Apple have made me decide not to get one when it becomes available in Norway. Have you ever heard of a smartphone that is completly locked? Not only in terms of providers, but also on terms of what software you can run? Apple could have the best mobile platform, simply by opening it up for third part developers, but no … My god I laughed when I saw Nokia’s latest campaign, with slogans suchas, “Phones should be open to anything” and, ”The best devices have no limits”. Two direct messages to Apple and the people that consider buying an iPhone.

It was with joy I read that Nokia was buying NAVTEQ, another great move on telling Apple which tells actually gonna design the next generation smartphones.

Which brings me to the solutions/features that iPhone is lacking: UMTS, HSDPA and GPS. UMTS is something I take for granted, even subsidised phones for 1 NOK have it! Another big announcement from Nokia, was their upcoming N8xx device, now finally with inbuilt GPS and QWERTY keyboard. Perhaps I finally have found my Sharp Zaurus replacement?

Also HTC introduced a few new models yesterday, but other than the TYTN 2, they seem not to have come up with anything that can be said called “new”, except that the P6500 has got a fingerprint scanner. That model doesn’t have a QWERTY keyboard that most HTC phones come with. At last a company that starts thinking a bit more on data security on mobile devices.

The best thing that can be said about Apple and their iPhone, is that they have forced the other vendors to be more inovative. And Nokia has answered …

I’m Convinced, iPhone It Is!

Today I visited to Humac to deliver a MacBook Pro that needs to get memory or motherboard replaced. As I waited for my contact person, I got to play with an iPhone. As you might now, I have never been a fan of iPod and have never owned one. I have also written a blog entry about how superior Nokia N95 must be compared to the iPhone. I was terribly wrong. I have not written about my hands on with N95, simply cause there was nothing groundbreaking with it after all. My opinion now is that Apple has revolutionized the user interface for mobile phones, and set a new standard for the size and quality of screens. HTC, Samsung and Nokia has already started the catch up-game, trying to copy the user interface!

I was only able to play with the sample for 5 minutes, but I guess that was enough to convince me, my next phone will be an iPhone! I will simply buy it cause it is the best phone on the market, the bonus will be that it is probably also the best music player as well. But I guess that I will not be a frequent user of the music functionality. But best of all, never has a smartphone been easier to use. And that makes it a true Apple product.

The only drawback I can see, is it’s office functionality. How does it sync with desktop PIM software?

Nokia E60 syncs with my MacBook Pro

I just had to try to sync my new mobilephone with my Mac. Not much a problem, only that some e-mails started appearing twice on my Mac, filed under both work and other. I guess this is explainable: At work I sync with Lotus Notes 7.x, at home under Vista with Outlook 2007 and on the mac with the inbuilt AddressBook and iCal. Only in a perfect world would this have worked flawlessly!
