Hello and thank you to all the kind users who gave our Symbian Beta a try and then shared their experiences with us. We used as much of the feedback as we could in the upcoming commercial version and we haven't forgotten the rest. The Symbian Beta phase is now over, making way for the commercial release of our Symbian version next week. Thanks again to all of those who tested our Symbian Beta version, we really appreciate your efforts.

I am also pleased to announce that Darla Mack won the EQO iPod Shuffle for filling out the Symbian Beta Survey. Congratulations Darla, I hope you enjoy your iPod!

The Symbian Beta will still be available for download at the Symbian Beta page and we will still gladly accept all feedback coming our way, but the beta period is officially over. I hope you'll all try our next Symbian version! Please stay tuned.

Cingular is the new AT&T, don't link to them!

I read an interesting post on MobileCrunch the other day, regarding Cingular's new linking policy. Apparently they don't want anyone linking to anything but their homepage and you can only link to their homepage if you don't say anything negative about them. The new AT&T I ask you this, what's the best way to get people to link to you and say negative things about you? Answer: tell them they aren't allowed.

I was talking to Darla Mack about this in the light of her post about, and our subsequent conversation regarding, the restrictions put on the Cingular Nokia E62 (that's another post/rant right there) and decided to blog about it as well. Turns out I am most definitely an infringer upon Cingular/AT&T's linking policy from when I negatively portrayed Cingular as evil (and linked to them at the same time, oh my!) for restricting third party application installation on the Nokia E62. I wonder if they will sue me? Here's hoping...

EQO Mobile users, this stance taken by a major wireless carrier epitomizes the challenges we face in delivering you quality service. Application signing you ask? We can't even link to them...
