It’s not just “a bit deceiving,” it’s an outright lie. An application is either free or it is not, and to claim something is free because it includes a limited trial of the service, is INTENTIONAL DECEPTION

@Ali It depends on the application, but typically you’ll go to a web site to pay.

I have a question, when you purchase an app, do they ask for your credit card info right then and there, or is it somehow applied to your monthly bill from your carrier (tmo in my case)

aslo on another note is there any way to track responses? there should be an option to get email alerts when a new comment has been added

On my N85, there’s an App updater that checks the applications. I’m surprised the 5800 doesn’t have one. I do agree the download descriptions could use some work. I think the Forcaweather was the only app that said trial and it was the very last line.

Great suggestions!

I'm also looking forward to the post on what you do when you get a new phone. I found an article about moving folders around and hiding rarely used icons to really clean stuff up. It's just one of those things that should be done out of the box to really clean up the look of S60.
