Nokia 5500’s surface is a true mosaic of materials of various kinds.

I propose Nokia combine a central database model, with a digital distribution mechanism for their S60 platform, and future platforms in general.
Nokia would also make an application that should be included on every future S60 phone, and available as a download to current S60 users, that would let you access this massive database from the palm of your hand.

 Review: Nokia 8800/8801 - OSNews.com
Usually, Eugenia does our phone reviews, since she knows a lot more about phones than the rest of the staff does; however, this phone is not a phone which you can dissect feature-for-feature, assessing its potential based on what it can do.
Hi-Mobile.net sent me the Nokia 8801 (USD 334.98), which is almost a carbon copy of the Nokia 8800 (USD 559.98), with the only difference that where the 8800 supports GSM 900/1800/1900, the 8801 is more focused on the North-American market, and supports GSM 850/1800/1900.
The Nokia 8801 is no exception to this rule, but apparently, your mileage may vary.

The OS on the Nokia770 has been under development for, what was it, at least three years at Nokia and a few other companies delivering bits and pieces to them.
Nokia had never promised SIP functionality for a future release, and no company would ever promise any features for something that isn't done yet.

Nokia always said that there'd be a major software upgrade in the works - the 2006 version of the OS is it.
Of course, the Nokia 770 has always been an oddity in Nokia's line-up as it lacks a phone or GPRS or 3G data, instead relying on WiFi or a Bluetooth connection to another handset.
But as it runs Linux, the open source community have been very busy porting applications to Nokia's Maemo platform, which we understand has led to the development of other similar devices during 2006.
