Although the comments on each page are short, you might not have enough time to read it as well as look at the pictureso be prepared to click on the pause button.

For some reason I don't like iPhone showing up as the "next generation of smartphone" instead of having its own platform. When blackberry was introduced it didn't make it as successor of WM5 or Palm Phones, but when iPhone comes it suddenly finds its spot there. Oh well, let's wait and see if it deserves the spot.

Its amazing how they have managed the history of the smartphone without mentioning symbian, or the nokia communicator.

It's almost like soviet revisionism...

Anyway, here's some of the evolution that they didn't want you to see,,,

That evolution of the Smart phone is pretty terrible, they have missed loads out, I know it is suppose to be brief but that is a little too brief. How is the Apple iPhone a development anyway, hyedpin says, it is the begining of a new range of mobile phones, not a smartphone.

, with hints and tips including a link for the ROM fix for the RX3700 series with links to all languages for the RX3715 latest ROM updates. Also allows for any wm2003SE device to change their language.

Although I am not a big fan of Symbian or its virus prone works, I can't think of a smartphone without symbian. Apple totally missed out on the smartphone technology and has been crying about it. Just like "hey windows copied apple!". Apple is sad that they cannot say that about "smartphone" or any windows mobile/pda platform. Even if you go back to newton, which failed miserably, had to be shut down.

Symbian is great for cellphones, but I can't just think of it as a primary mini-pc replacement. You think about Nokia Communicator, that was the first true PC-like phone. Saint!? Everyone wanted to get one, but due to limited quantity they couldn't move on with it, it is back, but very limited functionaly.

I just hope Blackberry improves (as they did with the trackball and even trade-mark it) and becomes the next true Smartphone platform after WM5 or WM6, arrow, bow, flamethrower or any other name they'd like to call it..or whatever we are supposed to see after Vista arrives.
