Episode 87 takes a break from Steve’s news and reviews of the phone world, instead shifting the limelight to his PhonesShow viewing audience as they reveal which phone they’re using right now, and why they love it.

[polldaddy poll=1849042] Vote as applicable. One of the easiest tasks on Nokia phones was getting to your contacts. Type a few letters of the name as you would in a text message, i.e. via alphanumeric keypad, and possible names are suggested, narrowing down the choices the more letters you typed.

(Note: this isn’t specific to the N97). In Ovi Suite, there’s a service called “One Touch Access” and it really […]
