Today Darla Mack is asking a question “Which Series Are You”. Well, it’s obvious I’m a “N-series” guy. One of the things that Darla mentioned is why Nokia doesn’t just allow application downloads among different series. I’m completely 100% on the same note as Darla. In a distant past (about 1.1 version) there was a nice application called Mail for Exchange. This nice application worked fine on N80 devices. As soon as the new version was released (1.2) suddenly it would not run on N80. In my job a few months ago I started using my personal phone for work related tasks (my employer pays half of my bill) so I signed up for free mail2web.com exchange hosting. It worked flawlessly for what I needed. Now I’m on N95 and have no chance of using Exchange Mail so I’m sort of screwed. I’ve tried Emoze, now that 7-thing but none of them work the way I’d like them to. Another nice application on my ubergizmo would be Nokia’s Text-to-speech application. WHY OH WHY can’t they allow us to just install them as we want???

So after all this mumbling for a second I’m getting to the point where I have a really good question…. I’m a 100% Polish. I live in The US of A. It’s obvious here that the mobile operators have flaps on their eyes and assume that people who use cell phones here speak only two (orat most three) languages.. Just pick up any cell phone for any provider and you’ll see that is supports English, Spanish and sometimes French (that’s probably because of French speaking Canada). What about Polish, Germans etc…. If you’ve ever tried to play around with updating phone’s software you’d know that the language data is embedded in a separate file. I send SMS messages to my family in Poland and to my English speaking friends here in the USA so why should I go through the hell of not being able to use predictive text entry in the language of my choice. Since Nokia opened up their cell phones to user updates, WHY NOT give the users even more freedom in choosing the language pack of their choice. I for one would love to be able to legally (without hacking device code) to upgrade my phone to locally available firmware but at the same time be able to choose EURO3 language pack (Polish, Czech, English, German, Hungarian, Slovenian) language pack instead of the default English/Spanish. During the event in Chicago I mentioned it to one of the employees. Now I don’t know how “deep on the inside” he was but he said that there was a mention of it at some point. Hopefully it’s not a lost case..maybe in the future we’ll be able to pick the language of choice on our moby’s
