Nokia Developer Days
I’m attending the Nokia developer days in South Africa. It looks like Nokia is focusing on JavaME, and would like to replace Symbian development with QT for native applications across all of their platforms.

The WIFI on your mobile phone sucks?
Find the advanced settings and switch off power-saving. Your battery life ‘goes for a ball of chalk’, but you’ll actually be able to use a wifi network.

The Nokia E71
I haven’t seen a phone sporting so may features. Some features:
FM Radio,
Dual camera,
Business and Personal profiles,
802.11,
the ability to take a picture of a business card and import it into your contacts, and
a OCR program which allows you to take a picture of text and convert it into editable text.
Who would use the OCR function?
It also has a call manager which lets you control your incoming calls based on your physical location. So, if you don’t want to receive business calls at home, you’d simply catalog your phone book accordingly and tell the phone which wifi network belongs to your house. The phone uses wifi networks to figure out where it is physically located, and adjusts your incoming call profiles accordingly.
