Wendong’s Smart Phone Weblog

I stopped by a local T-Mobile store this Saturday. I pretty much made the decision to buy one T-Mobile G1 if it is available. Just as I suspected, there in no G1 in stock in my local area, although T-Mobile started to sell G1 “nation wide” from 10/22. The G1 poster was right in front of store entry, but the sales guy was not sure when they will have them. It looks like I will have to go to a store in Boston to get one. Or I just need to order one online and wait it shipped to me.

In the mean time, I am also eyeing on the Nokia 5800. It is first touch screen phone from Nokia running S60 5th Edition. As a long time S60 user, this phone seems to be perfect to replace my two-year old E61. And ~$390 is about the right price tag. But I am not sure when it is going to be available for US market. Most likely it is going to be early next year. It is going to hit Asian market first, maybe I can get one this year from China? That will be perfect.

It seems to me that BBC is always ahead of mobile technology usage. In 2006, BBC offered Headlines application based on Java ME and Flash Lite. Java ME was not new, but Flash Lite was pretty new at that time. Now BBC has a streaming media application which uses Web Runtime.

To bad I do not have a Web Runtime capable phone to play with it.
