The communicator is already to be modified, some odd bugs
have been found, like being in the middle of calling
when the calender beeps and there is an incoming SMS
message. (typical stuff like that)
The OS is Symbian, going back to the famous AMIGA, the
small footprint OS which didn't crash, at least not
on purpose. (Hello, UK, it even runs on an ARM,
although Marconi might be the problem for the City)
Pictures through e-mail, yes, the MMS standard is not
yet built nor approved and tested.
(this ridiculous quack on old Smart Messaging (Nokia),
enabling ringtones,etc, and EMS (Ericsson,Motorola) which
enables pictures when MMS, MultiMediaMessaging, is just
around the corner, supported by all).
Nokia put the earning forecast in a very smart way,
0.14-0.16 (??).
The 40% market has clearly been spelled in a "not
impossible future", IMO as a guidance for no need
for anti-trust measures, based on what kind of
mess the other players has made of themselves.
The basic fact is that both Ericsson and Motorola
has declared they will get out of handsets,
focus on SOny and unknown OEMS.
Siemens has declared to be trying, but probably
putting their hope in spun off Infineon.
IMO, just a matter of how fast new features are needed,
at this rate, 2-3 times a year.
No time for OEMS and waiting for the blessed chipset.
