“the * key worked as the function key, and pressing it repeatedly would insert the following + – / * functions”

s60 does that too!

[...] few months ago, we brought you news that Nokia was working internally on an update to the dull and deadly slow S60 Calculator. You [...]

Tero,
Well we are no coding/developing geniuses, so I don’t think you should expect it from us, but dang that is a nice idea! I sure hope someone is still paying attention to this thread :D

Please you gurus, do calc that I can command via voice. And it answers via voice.. S60 may do that! Who can write this tiny program? Nokia or you gurus? Who is first?

Heh. Great discussion. Who ever thought a calculator could cause such passion?

I myself use Calcium. But I long for a good calculator like the HP-12 RPN. Yeah, a real calculator geek!

(Please note that the calculator we mentioned and is the title of this article, really is just an experiment. If all goes well, it’ll get to Beta Labs and maybe even be released. We’ve got a ton of interesting things going on inside the company and not all of them make it to the public or to the platform. But, I think the guys working on this little app will be happy to see such a positive demand from all of you.)

I say AYE to the Texas Instruments proposal! I drool over the idea of having the venerable Derive on my S60v3!!

You still think that S40’s calculator is 6610 style? Do a little googling first!

[...] poses the question however of whether this is the best solution? For calculator alternatives, there’s Calcium, which is a very popular simple calculator app [...]

I agree with Merlin on the issue of basic applications in S60. Out of the box, a user gets Lifeblog on the handset, but no Stopwatch/Timer? This is the strangest thing possible in a smartphone platform, I believe. BTW, while I don’t use calculator that much, still, navigating in the calculator app needs tweaking. Let’s see what Nokia can do.

I think Texas Instruments should develop applications that are ports of calculators to cellphones. I’d pay for a TI-89 S60 (or IPhone) emulator.
