Here's the latest from Sony Ericsson if you want to make your friends (and the guy at the cell phone outlet) drool... enter the P1. Based on the UIQ form factor, this device sports a QWERTY keyboard, 3.2 megapixel camera, WLAN and Voip, touchscreen display and loads more. If you aren't familiar with UIQ its an open platform that offers broad potential for multimedia applications from operators/carriers, content owners and third party developers and sits on the Symbian OS. My colleagur Richard wrote up a nice piece on the device after an interview with a key SE Exec. See

Symbian generously gave companies a heads up on a big announcement taking place next week... the release of Symbian OS 9.5. The company asked companies to observe an embargo, unfortunately allaboutsymbian could help trhemselves and decided to not only mention the release (which Symbian said was fine to do), however, they actually posted the entire press announcment, basically blowing the embargo deal... too bad AAS decided to do this because in my experience this typically screws it up for everyone else in the future as the company will likely not send pre-announcemnents any more if people are going to ignore their requests (whay Rafe would do this is beyond me!). Anyway, since the cat's out of the bag, here's a few details... Some details include... Symbian smartphones based on Symbian OS v9.5 will support rich multimedia experiences with advanced camera features similar to standalone digital cameras with 35 new features including image orientation following tilt sensor, preset image enhancements, digital/optical zoom, auto focus spots, panorama stitch, image distortion correction auto-focus such as red-eye reduction. With improved seamless connectivity to home computers, enabling the easy transfer of music, videos and images, one smartphone can replace several devices. In addition, with support for multi-standard digital TV (DVB-H, ISDB-T) and standardised LBS, the Symbian smartphone will bring true convergence to consumers worldwide. Symbian OS v9.5, backward compatible with all versions of the v9 family - for more info see www.symbian.com

OK, I'm a bit confused... now that I'm up and running on an all you can eat data plan via T-Mobile using my spanky Nokia N80 smartphone (no its not a T-Mobile device.. sorry!) I decided that I have to have Google Maps mobile running on it. So, I point my WAP browser to google.com/gmm and download away... the service recognizes that I'm using an N80 and installs sans problem. Everything works just fine... actually, its totally sweet! I pan around Fort Collins (too bad there's no detailed satellite imagery for this area (rather odd since DigitalGlobe is just down the road!) locate my house, the kids school, etc... what strikes me odd though is that when I visit the gmaps mobile support page thge documentation reads that the service is not supported by T-Mobile... huh? I have to assume that this service won't work on a T-Mobile supplied (locked) device... obviously I got around this by using my own device. There is one trade-off though by having an unlocked device and that's that T-mobile specific services (like the new my faves plan) is not supported.. oh well, the family plan + all you can eat data is just fine... another luxury I'm enjoying by living south of the 49th... ya I'm really going to miss those $200 Rogers wireless phone bills I used to get simply by using a couple of megs of data services with a few roaming calls tossed in. A last request.. hey imagery providers... how about some detailed satellite imagery for Fort Collins, particularly since it is a geospatial hotbed - and new home of GISuser ;0)

Frankly, if you don't know that next week is the annual Symbian Smartphone Show you must have been trekking in the Amazon. If you don't have time to pack your bags for London there will be plenty of coverage to let you live the show vicariously.
SymbianOne's Richard Bloor will be attending the Symbian Smartphone Show and will be updating our SymbianOne Flickr photoblog from the show floor using ShoZu - battery life on our much maligned Nokia N80 permitting. (Richard could be heard muttering darkly about the lack of a ShoZu client for UIQ3.) To stay up on news fromm the show see
