On other words, Nokia has taken down notes from the success of programs like Nokmote and RotateMe from Samir, and also ShakeSMS and FlipSilent from Tong Ren. Of course some of these features were inspired from Nokia themselves, but the customizing and finer details were taken in account and it is probable that we see them included in future S60 devices, as soon as 11 February, at the S60 stand.
Besides these advancements, Nokia plans on adding User Friendly applications, as reported on their website, using your phone as a text recognition tool was reported few days back in Symbian-Freak, where a N83 was a tool that helped blind people listen to words.
