1) no sideslide qwerty keyboard nor bluetooth HID (for external keyboard)

2) no support for T-Mobile USA 3G, nor support for simultaneous dual SIM cards (so I can sidestep the 3G issue by having 1 SIM for voice/text on T-Mobile and the other on AT&T for data only)

3) no support for UMA (though, if the E61/E62 Symbian features for SIP phone capability are there, then it'll at least have SIP).


For all of the nice things this phone has, it's missing the things that would actually make me buy it.]]>Jun 24th 2008 10:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/Jun 24th 2008 11:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/Phonescoop doesn't list HID support. It seems pretty hit and miss on S60 phones, according to that site (I'll take your word for it right now, and maybe check Nokia's site later). That would be a good thing, if all S60 phones have HID support. Later ones seem to also have BIP support (one of the BIP modes allows you to export the phone's display for remote "desktop" capability).

Those two together might make for a nice way to remote control my phone (from my N810, or other devices).

But they tend to be a very good first pass (better, and more consistent, than going to most of the phone manufacturers sites).

Thanks for the other info :-)]]>Jun 24th 2008 3:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/Oh, and, I hate that style of keyboard.

For one, my Samsung SCH-R410 has one, and I hate it. The thin ridge keys are awkward to use at odd angles, and even somewhat when used at normal angles.

For two, they look like single full width keys on here, which adds to the possibility that you'll accidentally hit it wrong and get the wrong button. No thanks.

I think I could mostly deal with the missing key legends... but the other things ... nope.

You guys can bash it all you want, I've never been so happy with a phone before, even when I had the first iPhone. Some things I love using it for:
- Taking amazing pictures or video that it automatically tags the EXIF data with the GPS coordinates
- Downloading podcasts (video/audio) on the phone itself using the built in podcast app
- Syncing with my PC wirelessly over Bluetooth
- Using JoikuSpot Light to set it up as a WiFi access point for when I want to "tether" my laptop
- Use VOIP software to make REAL VOIP calls over data (3G/WiFi) whenever I want
- Use GPS to find voice guided directions to wherever or use Google Maps with it
- Run a TON of games on it that are 3D and can be found free online including Tomb Raider: Legend, Brothers in Arms, and other 3D games.
- Automatically upload my pics/videos to Flickr and online sharing sites directly from phone with tags/GPS coordinates. ]]>Jun 24th 2008 11:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/Jun 24th 2008 12:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/Jun 24th 2008 2:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/Nokia has world slimmest GPS phone and slimmest smartphone and i hardly would call this a brick.
N95 is over 2 years old and still sells strong and still dosen't lose to competition in size with 5mp phones even with over 2 years old phone and many of those still lack features N95 has.

If you are comparing S60 phone like N95 to your Razr you are way off. You can compare that to S40 phones.]]>Jun 24th 2008 11:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/http://www.engadget.com/2008/06/24/nokias-560-n78-now-available-in-us/I don't wan't to sound rude, but did you really look any other phones.
