View Full Version : Symbian E62 Advertized as Pocket PC

I noted with great interest an ad in this week's Ann Arbor News from Cingular
Wireless. They are selling the Nokia E62 cellphone and calling it a "Pocket
PC". But when I checked further, the Nokia E62 is clearly not a Windows Moblile
device. It is a Symbian OS (9.0) device. But is Cigular allowed to call it a
"Pocket PC"? I though that term was reservered for Windows Mobile.

Laymen (and Cingular seems to have a lot of them( don't know much about the
differences between the OS'es, not even their names. For example, there have
always been advertisements of Pocket PC's as Palms. I bet the people
responsible for this ad have never had a Pocket PC or a Symbian phone in
their hand.

Of course, this issue is certainly worth sending a correction request to
Cingular.
