Nokia promises to take "Symbian user interface to a new level" in 2010, Maemo 6 in 2H

I believe it when I see it.

Samsung Behold II review

Honestly, there isn't much difference between Windows 98 and Windows Mobile. And S60 clearly wasn't made for touch. Both are legacy, crap platforms with tons of issues. I have no idea as to why they are still being used in new phones, since Android is available for everyone to use.

I do like UIs that are easy to use, and those are also the most practical. What is more important than being able to use the features? S60 was OK on my N95, but it will never be able to cope with finger-friendly touch UIs. Also, the review said what I said; namely that HTC has done a wonderful job with WinMo, but that WinMo is still crap. Which HTC, Samy and all the other guys ought to know by now, or so I thought.

While I agree that HTC has done a wonderful job with Windows Mobile, it's still just makeup on a legacy mobile OS. It's evident HTC knows how to make user-friendly software, but you can only do so much when you start with a shitty OS.

Nokia is doing the same thing with the 5800 and N97; skinning the über-crappy S60 platform and the result is nothing short of embarrassing. Samsung and Sony Ericsson too,

What if they could take their coding skills, HTC in particular, and actually make something from scratch? You can't make a nice bolognese with a roadkill.

It's amazing that they won't learn. I played around with the Omnia a year ago and tried out the S8000 yesterday. Both are shit. Amazingly, Samsung screwed up this one too. But then again, so has Sony Ericsson done with all its touch phones. And HTC. And LG. And... oh, just about everyone but Apple and Palm.

Is it too much to ask that manufacturers focus on one or a few projects instead of churning out crap phones

I hate all the Windows fanboys on this site. How can saving *any* amount of money be a bad thing?

Nokia abandoning S60 for Maemo on future N-Series devices?

FINALLY!!! WOHO!

HP Envy 15 unboxing and hands-on

HP should be embarrased. If they can't copy correctly, why copy at all?

Check out Air Mouse for the iPhone and iPod touch. It's on sale this week for 2 bucks. http://www.mobileairmouse.com/
Works really well, just like a diNovo mini.

Lenovo goes crazy, lets you switch Fn and Ctrl keys in BIOS

Wouldn't it be easier to just adjust to the keyboard?

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I'm heading to university next year, and I've purchased a MacBook. I'm also taking my four year old desktop, just in case I'm left with no computers when the MacBook is being repaired or whatnot. With only two USB ports on a MacBook, I want a Bluetooth mouse. Budget is about $100, and of course, it needs OS X support. Thanks for the help!"
