Wave messaging

Gaz

For a long time Nokia kicked every other mobile phones arse , but it looks like they are really struggling to come with good ideas.

Check out this new phone on the way which will have wave messaging.

Basically there is a few leds on the back of the case and when you wave the phone back and forth you get a message , which presumably can only be seen at night and from a very short distance.

Seriously ..... whats the point?

Put your mouse over the "wave messaging" text beside the picture of the phone for an example of this amazing new feature :rolleyes:

don't think the fone looks too bad, its just one of those stupid features that would be nifty for <10secs like most of those external camera's for the fones....

there will always be gimmic's, at least the fone don't look stupid

In fairness judging by the rest of the page - and the phone - its clearly aimed at the 8-13 year old bracket. Or stupid women. Not uber-nerds!

Its a gimmick - just like express-on covers or portable chamber-pots with electronic tagging and built in 802.1g wifi connection and a lcd display that gives you a read out of the pottasium content of your ****, which is analysed by the top of the range tectronic faecal phosphate analyzer with built in espresso maker.

Phone with a cigarette lighter would be desirable or so my smoker friends tell me.

Will wave messenging not cut back on text messenging?

Yes it will if you like to send one word text messages to people within 10 feet of you.

Nokia have a "flat" organisation that allows phone designing teams to basically do whatever they want right up to the final whistle - so they've ended up with a massive range of ****e gimmick phones to fill marketing niches that don't exist, and missed out on more popular features customers want like "usable keypads", "cameras" and "phones that don't look like the cat puked on it" (3220).

Got my t630 on tuesday and it's cool. Unless they bring back a working 8810 I'll have no regrets about switching.
