Pretty much all the podcasts I listen to have been manually inputted.

Dr Tran posted:I'm probably wrong here, was thinking of Spotify. I'm pretty sure there is a Pandora app, just not one that's officially supported by Pandora itself. edit: Back in 2008, Pandora would not work with Flash-compatible S60 browsers. It's 2010 now, so maybe things have changed. Can you guys try using the stock Webkit browser or perhaps the Skyfire browser to see if Pandora works natively in those? I'm leaning toward getting an N97 mini now. EssEssEssErr fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Apr 9, 2010 |

Nokia Conversation never worked properly on my N86, and apparently Nokia is aware of the problem but hasn't bothered to fix it. I haven't tried freeiSMS "business edition", but the free version is delightful after you go through the trouble of signing it. If the pay version comes pre-signed, it's definitely worth 12

Welp, I bought the "business edition" and I have to say it's pretty pro. If you can get past the fact that you have to buy it on paypal from some guy in China with pretty broke English it works better than the latest free version, which is 1.08.

I have a UPnP AV capable NAS that I use to put all my music and movies on so I can stream them to my ps3's to have movies over the network. I discovered that my N82 has something called "Hom. med." (home media, I assume) that functions as both a UPnP AV server and player. This means that I can connect to my NAS and play movies directly over my phone, or I can enable the server on my phone to play movies, pictures, or music from my phone through the PS3. Awesome. Problem is that when I want to play a movie from the NAS, it insists on downloading the whole drat thing before playing it, rather than streaming it. And if I've encoded a movie with a bitrate that's too high, it won't play the video at all, just the audio. Do any of the newer N-series devices still have this application, and is the media playback more robust? I was jazzed when I saw I could do this, but it has some limitations. Also, my wife's e71 doesn't have this app, which is kind of a bummer, but I suppose it's to be expected, as the n-series are media devices and the e-series are for business apps.

Oddly enough my E72 has that. I never knew what it was for so thanks for clearing it up. edit: check out this new nokia client for facebook and twitter, now updated for the E71 and E72.

I'll reserve judgement on that phone until reviews come out, but Nokia is determined to be the cell phone industry's joke as far as touch UI design goes. Even RIM and MS are leaving you behind, Nokia. It looks like old S60v5 to me.

Though the phone itself doesn't interest me in the least, it's nice to see them putting those features (xenon flash, larger sensor, hd recording, hdmi output) in their apparent flagship so that other phones (probably not from Nokia, I'm guessing!) will follow suit. maybe

Nokia should probably just buy Palm or license webOS for their next few phones. Symbian just feels weird with iPhone and Android. Its gotta be the font or white space usage. Can't really put my finger on what makes it so weird after using so many phones built for the US market.

I'll probably switch back to AT&T from my Sprint Palm Pre just for this phone. So loving happy that it has xenon. It also has LED(s) for video recording lighting, correct? I'm seeing conflicting info on that. This is really pathetic, but I literally have at least one dream per week about S60 smartphones. Shoot me. My most recent dream was about me finding a secret hidden stash of upcoming S60 phones like the X6 and C5, although they might be out now. Either way, it's sad!
