Actually we are working very hard to bring some of thing s you would like to see on a mobile phone.

There is a lot of activity around new concepts and new ideas.. the main issue here is not to bring to market a cluttered phone.

Hope you customers will be able to see something hitting the stores very soon.

I fully agree that we need much better software rather than more gizmos bundled into smaller and smaller devices.

Could we start with operators (the Three family especially, as I’m a happy ThreeUK user) supplying the very best software on their phones?

For instance, a browser that *really* works with the ‘ordinary’ web (and wap pages) like the Opera Mini? Or a cross-network IM client like Fring or Agile? (Which could also have a cell-based location-finding presence similar to Jaiku?) And how about a decent push email client (like Gmail’s java app) that doesn’t kill the battery before the end of the day?

Of course we really need a new user-friendly, operating system that’s easy for developers to manipulate but that would require co-operation with the phone manufacturers so will need a longer timescale.

But there’s nothing to prevent network operators from forging ahead right now!
