New Bluetooth enabled cordless phone, available April 2005 according to the website. Saw an ad for it in the feb 2005 CE Lifestyles magazine. Supposedly allows you to use your cell phone with a regular landline phone like a couple other devices: Doc-N-Talk (Review) and the Merge. The Uniden uses bluetooth to make the connection and I'm guessing the Hands Free Profile which is also used by some of the newer cars.

Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications: A Guide for Java Developers

"Who do you partner with? Nokia developer platforms offer the highest volume opportunity for mobile developers, with an installed base measured in the hundreds of millions. Series 40 Developer Platform offers the highest volume opportunity in the family, and offers a robust technical platform including secure communications, mobile media, messaging, graphics, and Bluetooth. (MIDP 2.0, JSR 120, JSR 135, JSR 82).

How do you build it? Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications is an end-to-end solutions guide for Java programmers focusing on Nokia's Series 40 Developer Platform. It brings together two of the largest segments of the mobile marketplace, Nokia Series 40 handsets and the worldwide mobile Java developer community, and provides thorough and specific information on how to create scalable mobile applications. These applications will work on the newest Series 40 handsets (based on MIDP 2.0), serve the large installed base of MIDP 1.0 handsets, and scale up to serve owners of smartphones based on Series 60 Developer Platform, enterprise communicators based on Series 80 Developer Platform, and rich media devices based on Series 90 Developer Platform.

Developing Scalable Series 40 Applications details the technical underpinnings of the Series 40 Developer Platform. It includes not only the available APIs but also coding best practices, architectural considerations, and fully tested sample applications ready for download. The book includes plenty of specific tips; for example, pointing out the choices Nokia made when implementing optional APIs.

The book goes beyond presentation of methods and classes. Mobile devices serve a variety of highly specialized customer segments, and some differentiation among devices is necessary to create the high-volume opportunity developers can now tap. Additional differentiation occurs as new devices add features on top of existing feature sets. To serve the mobile mass market at a profit, the right technical approach is critical to avoid fragmenting an application's code base. This book addresses development approaches that allow applications to scale across devices and time. The authors devote a full chapter to code management, sharing tips on how to optimize the mobile experience for a variety of users without fragmenting the code base."

The Nokia Series 40 book

"The first official end-to-end solutions guide for every Nokia Series 40 developer

NokiaÕs Series 40 platform gives Java developers access to the worldÕs highest-volume, fastest-growing, and most exciting mobile markets. With close to 100 million units sold every year, the Series 40 devices are crucial for the commercial success for any mobile application. However, due to the physical constraints of the mass-market devices, it requires deep knowledge of the platform and advanced programming skills to develop effective Series 40 applications. Knowledge of the Series 40 platform can be applied to the Java environment on all Nokia devices including the Series 60 smartphones, Series 80 enterprise communicators and Series 90 rich media devices. To reduce duplicated development costs, it is also important to write scalable applications so that we can easily optimize them across different devices within and beyond the Series 40 platform. Now, there's an official developer's guide that can help you build high-performance and scalable Series 40 applications for both MIDP 1.0 and 2.0 devices.

Fully reviewed by NokiaÕs subject matter experts, this book covers the entire development processÑfrom design and coding through testing and deployment. The authors walk you through 11 complete example applications, presenting downloadable client and server source code you can use to jumpstart virtually any project. Along the way, they illuminate Series 40Õs technical underpinnings, review crucial architectural issues, introduce key mobile design patterns, discuss scalability and device optimization strategies and offer dozens of best practices and tipsÑmany never before published.

Wireless Industry News - Cellphones get broken by tight jeans.

Wireless Industry News - Cellphones get broken by tight jeans.

"Siemens in Sweden asked themselves: "What are the most common cellphone accidents"? 300 Swedish retailers participated in the survey by listing the most common reasons for end-user accidents.

To squeeze the handset in tight jeans, using the cellphone in heavy rain or throwing it on the ground in rage were some of the most common "stories/excuses for accidents". "We notice that people use their cellphones directly after coming out from the shower or a gym session, even out in the rain", says Magnus Svensson at The Phonehouse Sweden.

Ulf Sandberg Marketing Director at the Swedish company Krusell International adds; "Professional retailers around the world are very aware of the "situations" that users seem to run into. Highlighting the money and the trouble users can save themselves by using a case, the retailers will not only benefit from added sales but also customer satisfaction, which will create loyalty to their stores.”

According to the survey, the most common reason for a phone to break is that you simply drop it on the floor.

It might be surprising to hear that people have thrown their unit on the ground in rage, this is of course alarming, but obviously not uncommon says Titti Hagenfeldt, Marketing Manager at Siemens.

The most common reasons for "Mobile accidents" according to 300 Swedish retailers.

1. Dropped the mobile on the ground.

2. Squeezed the cellphone in tight jeans/pockets.

3. Used the handset in the rain.

4. Throw the device on the ground in rage.

5. The dog/child got hold of the mobile.

6. Dropped the cellphone in the toilette.

7. Dropped the handset into the sea.

8. Forgot the cellphone on the roof of the car.

9. Perspiration on the mobile during workout.

10. Dropped the handset in the snow."

What’s the dice? Windows Mobile has been putting the hurt on the PalmSource lately (they’ve been losing both licensees and marketshare), so the plan here is to strike back with a new Linux-based version of the Palm OS that would have the robustness and flexibility of Linux and the ease of use of Palm. No word on when this new Palm/Linux OS might become a reality, but PalmSource says that they’re still going to introduce Palm OS Cobalt, the next version of the software, next year."

Russell Beattie Notebook - Nokia Design Thoughts: Simplicity

Russell Beattie Notebook - Nokia Design Thoughts: Simplicity

"The new Nokia 6255 - a CDMA flip phone with video functionality running on the "Series 45" platform, will be launched soon and you can see that unlike many of their recent phone launches, Nokia has gone back to basics on the design. Fantastic. That phone is truly lustworthy - and not just because of the functionality, but because of the clean lines and useful design.

I think all of us Nokia fans are pretty sick of the wacky unusable keypads, odd shapes, and questionable usability aren't we? I mean, more power to Nokia for having the kahunas to try something new, but I'm sick of being an apologist. "Look at this great phone! Yeah, yeah, I know it's a bit weird. But it's so cool!" Now that they've been bitchslapped by the market in the last quarter it looks like they're going to get back to basics. Actually the quid-pro-quo may not be direct since the design for the 6255 probably happened years ago, but I think that they'll now make more of an effort go in that direction, starting with this phone.

I expect the 6255 to be huge success because it's both clean and functional. What's the hottest consumer product on the market right now? Right - the iPod Mini. Look at it. It's *ridiculously* simple in design and usability. It's not over-designed, it's not shockingly new, it's elegant and beautiful and clean. This is the future of all mobile products.

Consumers like simplicity, cleanliness and functionality. Apple truly understands this as does Sony - look at the PowerBooks and the SonyEricsson Z700 for examples. Look at TiVo. It should be a mantra for any consumer product development team: simplicity and functionality. The 6255 is a fantastic phone for this reason. It's not boring, it's beautiful. We've got enough clutter in our lives, no? The devices we carry with us during almost all our waking ours should not add to it."
