ProfiMail for Series 60 — “This is what I’ve been waiting for since I got my first Nokia 7650, a replacement for the integrated email client that comes pre-installed on Series 60 phones. For whatever reason, Nokia just hasn’t put many resources into making sure the email part of the “Inbox” works fast and reliably, nor does it check for emails on a scheduled basis (say once every 20 minutes or so). I’ve tried it on various phones via
POP and IMAP and it’s always been just painful to use. How bad? Well, when I was using my Motorola phone for a week or so back a month ago, I was amazed at how much more useful that phone’s email client was. And that phone doesn’t even have a real OS.”

My ringtone — “Having returned the Sony Ericsson T627 I bought last week because it has the worst UI in history, I now have a Motorola v220. So far so good, but why can’t I record my own voice saying “Pick up the damn phone, fool!” and use that as my ring tone? Why isn’t that a standard feature of all cell phones?”

(There are other examples. Trust me! Feel free to share your frustrations.)
