adding the people who u wanna talk to in a list isnt really practical at all, since sometimes u can get calls from a payphone, out of state, unavailable area,etc... so that black list should come to reality PRETTY soon, please!!!

i totally agree and i cant understand why there has been so little development in apps etc for symbian UIQ when the development of stuff for Series 60 has gone sky high surely you can port applications from series 60 to UIQ (series 70?)
in fact u can i saw something to do that very thing on the developer mobilty world website..

so whats the story

For me pushed info like mentioned above would be great, id also like to see the Openbit "Photographer" program (series 60) and also some small image editing progs there is one brilliant program i have on my 3650 called camera fx with some excellent effects etc.. also there's a program called ringtone studio for series 60!!!..
God i could go on and on and on...
just my personal preference

It's true that Killerapps for the p800 doesn't really find their way :/

Though one i like is the "Remote control server" for the p800, but that also very personal if you have a need for it :/

But as said SOOO many times before, what is really needed, is an office app.. If you are interested in having an app like that try look at this thread:

http://www.esato.com/board/viewtopic.php?topic=26272&forum=35#post382349

It's a company making an office application called "Quickoffice" for pda's and so... They have looked at making it for the p800, but they are not sure if there's a market in it, so i guess we just have to convince them ;D

One of the core reasons, I understand from programmer-friends, is that you really need the $800-$1K CodeWarrior IDE to do development - the SE free environment is buggy, broken and badly documented; for professional programmers time can be money, so the SE burns them as badly wasted time. For part-time and new programmers, the CodeWarrior environment is too explensive to experiment with. What are we left with? Crappy MS Basic apps running in an emulator...feh!

The tools are the key - if the CW IDE was $250, they'd sell hundreds - maybe thousands. SonyEricsson should subsidize it, if only to make-up for the crap they foisted earlier, but more to push the platform as an alternative to Palm/WinPPC.

On a GOOD note tho, the Palm developer Iambic, maker of Agendus, has written me back on Agendus for the P800/UIQ platform. They have one there and they've gotten some basic functionality already going (this was 1.5 months ago). The integration between the calendar, notebook, tasks and phonebook would be a godsend alone. I've been a Palm user for 4 years, until the P800 came around, and I wait eagerly for it.

Check out their website, www.iambic.com, and if you're also as jazzed as I am then jot them off an email in support of their development. It is so far ahead fo anything in the marketplace...

i totally agree with you on the CW prise etc and SE's stance in the whole setup i also think people should mail the companies that make software for other platforms/versions and let them know that u think their software would be great if available for your particular Phone/PDA etc ive mailed several companies that make software for Symbian Series 60 saying i think they should develope that software for Symbian UIQ and most of them are activly developing software titles and pretty soon we will have, to name just two top progs..

(1) Camera FX photographer program
(2 ) ETI Camcorder Video recording program

i contacted 6 months ago both theses companies and Software releases are imminent
have been keeping a lot of things close to their chest with the Camera API only just been made available 2 developers
(open source )

com'on people email, email, email
