“On running Papyrus, you can cycle through three views of your Calendar data, ‘Grid’, ‘Month’ and ‘List’. These are all on the right soft key – which is normally reserved for back/exit in the style guide. My suspicions are that because Papyrus is a multi platform application this is (a) leading to a lot of bloat and (b) the soft keys are following the Windows Mobile style guide rather than Series 60. Sigh.The Grid View presents you a week on a single page. And one of the biggest advantages of Papyrus over the built in S60 Calendar is the font size. The default is small, and that means that, even showing two columns, you’re able to see enough of a diary entry to make sense (or at least jog your memory). You can also see the default colour scheme. ‘Today’ is show in yellow, green is the weekend, and blue is your cursor. Left and right advance the cursor per day, while up and down will skip a whole week. It’s fast, if not entirely intuitive.” Read more here:

“For October 2006 we have several newcomers at our Top 10 list, such as Nokia 6233/6234, Sony Ericsson K610i and Qtek 9600/HTC Tytn. We have high demand for cases for all of these models and we believe several new models from HTC and Motorola will enter the top 10 list for the upcoming months. Interesting to see is the continuous demand for Sony Ericsson 790i/K800i. Week after week it keeps taking the first position. We were confident in this unit from the beginning and predicted a high demand says Ulf Sandberg MD at Krusell International AB. 1. (1) Sony Ericsson K790i/K800i2.
