MSNBC’s Gary Krakow says the new quad-band GSM Nokia e62 is the best smartphone ever. The camera-less phone has a QWERTY thumb keyboard and looks like a Motorola Q or stretched out Blackberry. Krakow strikes me as platform agnostic based on past reviews. So, I’m taking his opinion at face value. I wonder, though, how well the phone syncs contacts and calendar data with, say, Microsoft Outlook or Apple’s iCal. The article also doesn’t mention how well its web browser works (probably Opera) or if it has an RSS feed reader.

Nokia N Series Phones Have Flickr Applications Built-in
According to the Flickr news blog, the new Nokia N Series phones have a Flickr upload application built-in. The Flickr site below provides the details.
The apparent difference between using this built-in application and emailing the photo to Flickr is that the application allows photographs to be uploaded at its full resolution. Some phone email applications (including mine) limits emailed photographs to 640×480 (0.33 megapixels).
