SymbianOne Feature Article

The Platform Promise: S60 Devices From Samsung - Java technology was heralded as write-once-run-everywhere - we know the reality was somewhat different. As the first Samsung S60 devices arrive in the SymbianOne offices Richard Bloor asks if the S60 platform serves Symbian C++ developers better. In this article Bloor tests the Samsung SGH-G810, SGH-I550, SGH-L870, and SGH-I8510 (INNOV8) S60 devices.

A look at cell phone driving laws in the USA and around the Globe Print E-mail
Written by SymbianOne

Did you know that the NHTSA estimates 10 percent of drivers on U.S. roads are using some type of mobile phone, either hand-held or hands-free.  This article takes a quick look at some of the States and countries that have put laws into place.

 

The following list details countries with cell phone driving laws that restrict or prohibit handheld cell phones in cars:

USA
- 5 states (California, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York and Washington), the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands have enacted jurisdiction-wide cell phone laws prohibiting driving while talking on handheld cell phones. Many other states ban cell phone use in specific situations.
- 17 states and the District of Columbia have special cell phone driving laws for novice drivers.
- School bus drivers in 14 states and the District of Columbia are prohibited from all cell phone use when passengers are present, except for in emergencies.
- In May of 2007, Washington became the first state to ban driving while texting for all drivers. New Jersey followed suit in November and a few other states are considering similar measures.
- No state completely bans all types of cell phone use (handheld and hands-free) while driving.
- Some states, such as Utah and New Hampshire, treat cell phone use as a larger "distracted driving" issue.
