@monkey man: Any word on when the two networks will be introducing subscription-based streaming services so one doesn't end up with a huge data bill.
@the wanqsta: Only Trust Sony Ericsson(Esato).

More Smartphone Show show pics:
Enter the Symbian Circle....
Only ONE network was represented at the show: Orange.
No 3, no O2, no T-Mobile, and not even Tahir's network-mistress, Vodafone, were there!
I can understand Virgin,Easymobile,Tesco etc. not being there,but for the big guns to make a no-show was a bit poor,I thought.
How to make people interested in your software product and hang around your stand: Provide plenty of booze!
Check out the table in the background,as well as under it! LOL!
He who laughs last... thinks slowest.

Guys, i don't know whether this link will work on your Java phones, but give it a shot-

@Wanksta, Skhuu, the P may be slightly bulky, but the positives certainly compensate for the lack of easy portability, i'm sure.
@Da Monkey Man, streaming radio is the bomb boet!!! I tend to use it mostly at night when i "borrow" free gprs from the networks, leave my phone on charge and allow my chosen station to lull me to sleep... Some of those talk shows are brilliant, although i'm mostly tuned into an 80's/90's station.
I'm not superstitious, merely mildly stitious. |

@Da Monkey Man, i'm enjoying the blogs, boet. Keep em coming...
How long did it take them to wake up and send the 6680? Hope Santie et al visit your site, bro, we sometimes need the industry to wake up and hear what we're saying.  |

@amawanqa: Any sign of that Chinese UIQ-based smartphone? mario made mention of it about a month ago in one of his rants against SE and their P-series.

@ brix,
No I can't say I did,not even at these stands. However,maybe due to the fact that it is geared towards the Far East market,that could perhaps explain its absence here...?
Some other stands:
Didn't fancy any late afternoon lectures there...
Looks a bit spartan.

Opinions on the absence of camera in Nokia's latest offerings?

It's called segmentation... Nokia's collective thought process was probably that business users were not into snapping pics. The three phones are feature-rich and the lack of cameras will not be missed.
