What I like about Zagat is that restaurant reviews are based on impressions of ordinary folk, you and I.
I was therefore really happy to read that Zagat has launched a program that can be installed on handsets, But next I read that it'll be only available for Palm OS, BlackBerry, Motorola Q, other Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones.

Nokia and Yahoo announced that a range of Yahoo services will be made available on a select range of Nokia's Series 40 non-smartphones. Initially, Yahoo Messenger and Yahoo Mail will be mounted on Nokia's 5300 and 5200 youth orientated handsets, as well as the new 6300 slim handset announced yesterday.

Nokia on the road of smartphones

At first Nokia smartphones (Nokia 7650 and 3650) were released a while ago. At that time they were matchless, but now it's different. Now, Siemens has in the process of finishing its first smartphone SX1, and Sony Ericsson P800 that was much spoken about is going to be replaced with P900. The company felt that the sector of smartphones is getting tighter and decided to

Motorola and smartphones

Motorola is the only phone maker that uses three OSs for its handsets: Symbian, Linux and Microsoft Smartphone. Nowadays, smartphones are getting very popular and almost every company is paying attention to them. Basically smartphones are those phones which run their own operating system.
