Says a lot about how far Java (and runtimes in general) have comes since the days when S60 was Series 60. The N82 is so last year. I mean it's been on the market 6 months already... someone else might have one - can't have that. I've had a play with the G810 (the cameraphone winner of EISA) and it is a good camera (and reasonable S60 phone), but I'm not sure the design quite measures up. Moreover the extra software to get photos off the phone is distinctly lacking. Most interesting thing about Calculator – its written in Java and most people will not notice.
