5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book on using Python on Nokia, September 17, 2009
Hands down, this is a good book. If you want to control your S60 phone with python this is exactly the book you want to buy. For that matter, if you are just looking for an easy programming language and platform for interfacing with your phone, try python, S60, and this book.

Specifically, this book is well designed and covers a very specific subject very well, and it is not 700 or 800 pages like a lot of fat computer books. It is somewhat pricey, and you can get some of the information from the web, but this book is concise, practical and will get you up and programming your phone in 0 time. Want to control SMS messaging, inbox, camera, microphone, dialing - This is it in just a few lines. Python can really do a great amount. I used it to control the lighting patterns of 16 different strands of Christmas lights from my phone.

I have used python for several years and have about 8 or 9 python books, and this is a good one. The only thing that is a little bit of a pain is the signing process for the apps. I have an E71, which I recommend for its hardware GPS, wifi, etc. The screen fonts are somewhat small. Anyway, I bought the phone to use with python with after learning about python for S60. I used the web for some info and located this book. I purchased the book and haven't regretted it.

If you already know python, this book does not bore you with beginner stuff, but at the same time, the examples use pretty elementary python for the most part so someone new to the language could certainly get up to speed and controlling sms messaging, etc very quickly.

Good luck!
