Cool article on Mobitopia about all the uses to which one can put the humble Nokia 3650 camera phone. I wonder when Apple will make iCal sync with the calendar on this phone??? Other capabilities: web browsing (I’ll have to check out the Doris Web Browser), integrated all-in-one chat client (which will probably break as Yahoo and other vendors close their IM networks to third-party clients); file viewers for plain text, PDF, Word, PowerPoint; mobile fax capability; and more.

Looks like the business opportunity here is for a carrier to actually install and configure all the software for you, so you don’t have to burn minutes and time doing the downloads.

Good time last night at Uptown Espresso, despite the inability to access their WiFi (you had to have signed up for an account before you got there; as I said last night, you could buy, but they weren’t selling).
