I completely understand the phrase “DUMP S60 and replace with FACEBOOK!” however such extreme measures are not required to achieve this, Windows Live Messenger integrates into the messaging and contact systems of Symbian. I don’t see why some talented coder could not write an add-on application to perform all of what you have described, with no need to modify firmware.

However perhaps Goggles Android OS could be the platform to achieve such extreme social networking.. (oh sorry,) tool.

I own 2 of the N95-2 and am planning to buy an Original N95, and the N95-3, original has the highest CPU Clock speed from what I can tell but Limited RAM. And the internal Memory, can take up to 2 hours to fill the memory card via USB and over 4 hours via Bluetooth.

I live by the motto Test it, Tweak it then Trash it. Example I played Quake 3 for over 2 hours on a single battery charge, with an external keyboard. Any thing is achievable if there is a coder with enough passion to write it.

If you have any more of these awesome Idea’s I would enjoy sharing some of the experience I have had with these beautifully built devices, Nokia have out done my expectations of portable weapons of mass communication. Not to many people think like that or could even comprehend the idea of what you propose.

@Heavylight – I mentioned ‘passive contextual awareness’ – the key thing for me there is the ‘passive’ part. The ultimate mash up is a fantastic vision to look forward to. There are so many different tools out there right now that ENABLE and EMPOWER users to create new ways of using their handsets. Take my recent Geo-Tagging piece as an example… Having this .. ‘consumer sandbox’ ..as it were will unleash so much new thought and innovation.
No doubt in the same way that the internet did when the web became truly OPEN.

@Denny – Yes mate, you’re right. ‘Joined-up-ness’ is the future! – On your point on Pizza Hut: I see what you mean… Again, I point towards the passiveness.

My calender (facebook/outlook/ical) says I have a party.
I click and see attendees from my contacts book.
I click on your name and I see that you came to the last party.
Not only that but I also see that you ordered the pizza too. The number you dialled, the food you bought, how much it was etc…

It’s all there.

It’s just tie-ing it all up. A bit more ‘joined-up-ness’ if you will

James Whatley’s last blog post..CTIA Sneak Peak!

The main thing that your phone doesn’t have (yet?), that FB, Jaiku, LJ, etc, all do have, is an awareness of your connections to other people, levels of trust etc. I have Pizza Hut in my phone, doesn’t mean I want them to know when I’m throwing a party. Even if they are my preferred caterer

They’re going to do their best to make the Ovi experience the best it can be while still letting people like Facebook and MySpace plug into some sort of extension framework on S60 handsets.

Why do you think Google purchased Jaiku? Services begin with the individual and Jaiku not only aggregates your random thoughts, but the RSS feeds of the services you use.

You’re dream is one many other people will soon tune into as this whole “mobile internet” thing clicks in the minds of millions across the world, the normobs. The implementation however, that will take at least one cellphone generation, which is to say 18 months or more.
