Well it turns out they were listening. Rogers has made 3 changes to WhoCalled:
First and most importantly you’ll only get notified if you were out of service when you received the calls. That means no more notifications when you ignore a call from a telemarketer/private number.
Secondly the WhoCalled message now has the number and time on one line
Thirdly now you can call the number you missed from the text message.
When I think of the E71 I’d say it had a very nice design, so-so hardware (when it came out) and software that was obviously missing features compared with Nokia’s other phones. The E71 has been around for a while now so it’s time for an update. While it looks similar to the E71 the E72 has a higher resolution camera (which doesn’ t take purple tinged pictures), a much faster processor, support for an extra HSPA band and more software features you usually find on Nokia’s N series devices. So now it doesn’t feel like you’re giving up as much if you’re using an E series device.
Nokia has just announced that navigation is now free for compatible phones.
Recently Nokia revamped their mapping application. It’s now pretty decent but the downside was that you had to pay for navigation – I didn’t have a problem with that but the thing is you can only purchase a subscription for it, it wasn’t a one time purchase. It made me feel like I was being nickel and dimed (only navigation cost a lot more then that).
TELUS just launched the Blackberry Curve 8530 (a CDMA blackberry). It’s got 3G, WiFi, trackpad, BlackBerry OS 5.0, QWERTY and a 2 megapixel camera. Note that unlike the Storms 2 and Tour this one doesn’t have GSM/EDGE/HSPA built in so you can’t roam with it
It comes in red or silver.
Prices are $349.99 straight up and $299.99, $249.99 or $49.99 on a 3/2/1 year contract with a minimum $50 monthly voice + data plan.

Just got an email from HTC saying that the HTC Magic and Dream on Rogers will both get upgrades which add the HTC Sense user interface. This upgrade will keep Android at version 1.5
Later this year the HTC Magic (NOT the Dream) will get another upgrade which will bring Android up to version 2.1.
