Wait. You're the guy who allegedly has a hacked Vivaz with Symbian^3 and you don't know what this does?

Really?

Just... go.]]>May 5th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/May 5th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/May 5th 2010 4:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
When you grow up and you have your own career you might need this kind of software along with your mobile.

Borrowed it from a friend, I have an i8910 though and it's not half bad, just hoping SPB mobile shell gets updated soon to a final version with hw acceleration. The Symbian GUI is just so old and clunky it's unreal.]]>May 5th 2010 4:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/Oh well, nothings can beat the price of free ;)
If you want to waste some time , give Hiplogic a try. Other than that, I think the future of symbian should be adapting gDesk or similar homescreen-menu as a default one. ]]>May 5th 2010 5:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
It's Microsoft's corporate IM client. It's pretty cool depending on how your company configures it. I have mine configured with PIC so depending on how I have it configured, I can also add plain old MSN/Yahoo/AOL users as well. You can also Federate with other companies. I'm in the early stages of federating with Microsoft so when that is done you basically can IM/voice/video chat with anybody there.

Cool stuff for busness... not much for consumers.]]>May 5th 2010 5:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/It has video? Now that is cool.
They should have mentioned that.
Fring is the only video solution I've seen on Shitbian, and it's actually pretty good, but it uses Skype.]]>May 5th 2010 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
Sorry, was a little vague. The desktop client does video. The mobile client currently does not. I would think they would add that down the road, but who knows. The mobile client is just one small piece of the overall Office Communicator Server.]]>May 5th 2010 5:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
Really? I thought you said you had got rid of the i8910 and got an Omnia 2. Then you apparently have this hacked Vivaz and now you have the i8910 again.

It doesn't add up, son. I think you're telling porkies.]]>May 5th 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/May 5th 2010 4:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/

N900 isnt perfect (I want my Ovi Maps updated) but its the best phone that I have ever used since iPhone...]]>May 5th 2010 5:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/May 5th 2010 5:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
The X6 is a nice enough phone and a really, really good music player. CWM makes it excellent value if you download a lot. Personally I'd wait for the N8 now it's been announced though.

That said, if she wants an X6 and isn't bothered about CWM then get a 16GB off eBay - I got mine for £200 with no strings attached. The package included a bluetooth headphone adapter and a £20 voucher for CWM.]]>May 5th 2010 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/May 5th 2010 4:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
Not sure what you mean.. There's been a Microsoft Communicator mobile client available way back for Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Also there has been a Java client out for a bunch of Nokia java based phones and the Motorola V3xx phones for a little while too.

There are a few iPhone apps that let you access your corporate IM if you have a communicator web access server. Not sure if there is an Android client yet..

If anything they are trying to be the opposite of RIM... to use BBM you have to have a lame Blackberry.]]>May 5th 2010 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/BOSS: Where are you guys?

no wai... there's no stylus! They can only blow it if it has a stylus!]]>May 5th 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/May 5th 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/if you need Live Mail support, sign up and use the free Nokia Messaging PUSH email service. And there are many MSN clients for chat. Nimbuzz, Slick, Palringo, and Fring are all popular. Why does MS need to make an OFFICIAL client?]]>May 5th 2010 7:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/
I clearly indicated that I want an official Live Messenger, not push e-mail. I also implied that I was using Slick, so if that wasn't clear: I'm using Slick. Slick is the best of a pretty crappy selection of MSN clients. It's lightweight and serves one simple purpose without all sorts of crazy clutter, but it's also flaky. It loses connection, it constantly needs upgrades, it's always asking you to accept some wacky certificate.

Microsoft should just make this extremely popular app available in a robust form that brings the desktop look and feel to the S60 platform. There was, at some point, an actual MS client available in China or something but no more. Bring it back!]]>May 5th 2010 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/05/nokia-microsoft-partnership-bears-first-fruit-communicator-mobi/Microsoft has already made it known that Eseries devices will ship with Microsoft Office for Mobiles soon, maybe as part of the S^4 launch. Just connecting imaginary dots, but its not a question of if, but when.

BTW, this isn't a "newfound" friendship. This pact was long in the works, and was officially announced nearly a year ago.

Stop making "winners" and "losers" out of your customers, Nokia! This practice will not end well, and I am sure that Microsoft would hate to see you fail.]]>May 6th 2010 6:26AM
