Zahir Mahmood is, I suspect, a big Phones Show fan, partly because he links to my video podcast, but also not least because he's come up with his own take on the idea of postulating a number of smartphone use cases and then delivering a winner (or, in his case, a winner, a mid-level alternative and a budget suggestion) for each. His use cases are 'Photography and media capture', 'Entertainment and games', 'Office and work' and 'Internet world'. So familiar territory for me then, but his choices are both interesting and very Symbian-relevant.
Eight of the 12 'slots' in Zahir's recommendations involve Symbian-powered devices, although he cheats ever so slightly by including the Nokia N8 three times, when the phone's not even out for another couple of months. 8-)
Good to see the ageing Nokia E90, N86 and N82 get a decent mention too... All still good devices in their own way.
Meanwhile, I'm building up to a Phones Show July 2010 'top 5'. Suggestions welcomed - remembering that this is covering all bases and all mobile platforms. Anything I choose has to be widely available, mind you.
