Hi guys, great podcast. We have had the Nokia N90 in the UK for a few months now and it's not as big with people over here as it is in the states.

Then again in the UK we have a 3.2 megapixel camera phone which I am in the middle of reviewing (Sharp 903).

I have posted some pics for you guys to check out if you are interested at

Hey Dave, Jack, & Steve thanks for the tip about Computeroutlook. I finally got time to sit in on the chat room and won!

JNGold,

I agree but with todays model of off shore support, supporting multiple platforms and OS's should be easy. That is once we master the language issues.
I will be really interested in how well this works for Palm. If it goes well others may follow suit. At least one could hope.

As the whole world standardizes on GSM technology, Verizon with it's "great coverage" is on the dying CDMA technology. I was a Verizon customer but got fed up with it's rediculous pricing, crippling of devices, and lack of "cool phones". Verizon still practices the crippling as will be the case with it's "new" Razr phone. Sure, you can tether your Blackberry and maybe, just maybe the Treo 700w. Big deal I say. What if I or any Joe consumer want to use my phone to access the internet? I am paying for the priveledge to do so, aren't we? There's no excuse for any BT capable phone to be crippled. Period.

I have heard that Verizon's coverage in Jersey and surrounding areas is good. However, in NYC and surrounding areas, I gotta say it's a push. I have gone to many places upstate where I could never get a Verizon signal and have gotten a nice Cingular signal. Remember, Cingular probably has finished their integration of many of the AT&T towers help complete the 850mhz and 1900mhz coverage that Cingular provides.

Interesting article about Siemens CEO talking about US fully switching to GSM:

Steve,

I agree with you that in a "perfect world", companies would offer multiple OS's in a given hardware device. But the reality is that many companies don't have the resources or want to spend the money on the resource to have to train and support people / devices with multiple OS's.

Jack,

They are great pictures it does a nice job. I just can't bring myself to use the Symbian OS.

The photo's were taken at 8:30 in the morning at Boston's famous Faneuil Hall Market Place (also referred as the Quincy Market Place). I walked across the street to the edge of Boston Harbor and got some great shots. The picture of the harbor shows the Mystic Bridge in the distance.

I am just amazed at the quality of the pictures I have been able to take. The camera is a 2 megapixel camera...Carl Zeiss Optics.
