This is my open letter to Nokia
Please, just spend 1% of your hardware R&D budget and give us a decent PIM.
Although you give us fantastic hardware and keep innovating in the features of new devices, we’ve had to put up with a PIM that just doesn’t cut it if you want to do something more than a basic calendar entry for several years now. The PIM is probably the most used application on my phone. I use it way more that making phone calls for instance. It’s just
You keep giving us firmware updates (which is nice), but please just give the guys at the PIM development department some budget (and a tray of Jolt) to get the stuff up to the level we expect from Nokia. The active users are contributing their ideas on how you can improve our Nokia experience so you just need to grab the list and off you go.
My no. 1 feature request would be the ability to have multiple calendars. I know everything is miscellaneous but that doesn’t mean I don’t wont to have a “work” and “personal” calendar. Imagine syncing iCal/Thunderbird/Outlook, Goolge Calendar and the Nokia Calendar, wouldn’t that just be great? The main thing lacking in order to get this setup working is … the support for multiple calendars in the Nokia Calendar. Just start out by adding an extra field called “calendar” which I can select when entering a meeting , thats all I ask from you.
Do you have any question concerning this open letter, please feel free to contact me anytime.
Sincere,
Marc Fonteijn
