The Nokia C2-00 offers a number of additional features. The main one is the way the SIM cards are arranged, offering Easy Swap, a feature that’s only on offer from Nokia. One SIM card is stored internally, like a traditional phone.

Nokia and the WomWorld team have been kind enough to invite a few of us to an Ovi Maps Workshop on 26th May.
We will be there to attend their workshop and provide feedback on their location services in particular maps and check-in. We have been given several pieces of ‘homework’ to complete beginning with the phone services we use on a day-to-day basis.
You can keep up to date with the activities of the days events by following me on twitter: dani2xll or following the twitter hashtag: #berlinmapsters
A full article will follow here with the days events and the results of the workshop.
Please let me know if there are any specific concerns which you feel need to be addressed concerning Nokia Maps and Check-in and I will see if I can provide the answers to your questions.
Thank you for reading my article. dani2xll

Imaginary Phone allows users to control their mobile devices without taking it out of their pocket. Instead, users mimic the interaction on the palm of their hand. The interaction is tracked by a wearable depth camera which sends input events to the actual physical device.
