Apple iPhone Day
Today is the day Apple iPhone launches. Thousands queue up to buy. Ok, if you have enough market power, this is how you launch new products - be it the new Harry Potter or a gadget. You simply need the 5% idiots who want everything immediately and for any price to finance the remaining 95%.
The Apple iPhone is really looking nice, but will it succeed?
Michael Robertson from Gizmo and Sipphone has an interesting comparison of the 1-button Apple iPhone and the 51-button Nokia E61: Battle of the Buttons. Since I also have a Nokia E61, this is very interesting for me.
In most points the E61 is better, and I agree what he is saying about the major flaw of the E61: configuring and accessing a WiFi-hotspot is a pain ... but if you have done it, it is fine.
And I also fully agree with his conclusion:
"...If your software needs are exactly what Steve Jobs and AT&T dictate and if you don't mind AT&T's hand in your wallet, then fine."
We will see how this works in Europe.

The really easy way to get your WiFi access set up on a dual mode Symbian Series 60 phone (Nokia N and E Series) is to use the Truphone Wizard. This may be downloaded and installed in less than two minute - instructions at http://www.truphone.com
Just check Google for feedback if sceptical.
