Vlog: Introduction To The Nokia E90
Road Trips and Mobile Survival
I’ve been in Houston, Texas visiting relatives for the past week. Yesterday, I took my mom on a bus tour to a casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The trip took two and a half hours to get there. I’ll tell you how I survived the road trip with the Nokia N82, Nokia N95, Nokia N800, and Proporta charger
I Won 2nd Place In Show Your S60 Smarts Contest
S60 announced the winners for the Show Your S60 Smarts contest, and yours truly grabbed the 2nd place for the Favorite Application category. According to the contest, I won a bluetooth headset and a gift voucher. Check out the video I made about Joikuspot that placed me second.
New Firmware Update For North American Nokia N95 8GB (N95-4) Brings Different Font
Firmware update version 20.2.005 became available to the North American Nokia N95 8GB, and sources have noted there’s not that many changes. Other than faster camera start-up, I also noticed the font has changed. It looks like it got shorter and more jagged than the old version. I took a few photo comparisons of the two versions for comparison.
Review: Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal Screen Protector
I’m reviewing the Boxwave Cleartouch Crystal Screen Protector for the Nokia N95 8GB. I carry my phone in my pocket, so having a screen protector makes sure that anything else in my pocket does not scratch the screen. If you go though plenty of phones like me, you want to make sure that the screen is mint when selling it later.
Sighting: Cool Phone T-shirt at Uniqlo
I was shopping at SoHo today with my girlfriend and I just had to get this t-shirt I found in Uniqlo. It said “phoney.” I’m not sure if the Nokia blue color was intentional. Check it out.
Nokia N82 Camera and Battery Trial
I was going to write about my experience with the Nokia N82 at a sporting event, but instead I want to share my experience at a concert last Saturday and more specifically with the camera and battery life. In the end, I noticed bubbles appeared on a few pictures, but I was really happy with the battery performance.
Nokia E71 Hands On By BGR
The Boy Genius Report got their hands on the Nokia E71, another hot phone that will work for North American 3G. Judging from the pictures, it looks like it can sway an Nseries user into the Eseries. Slick candybar form with qwerty keyboard sure looks tempting.
Preview: Nokia Maps 2.0 Mapsters Website
Launching tomorrow, May 23rd, is The Mapsters website. These cute not-so-little creatures shows off the full feature set of Nokia Maps 2.0 and what you might want to use it for. I had the opportunity to preview the Mapsters before the launch. I’m not sure if I didn’t have enough breakfast because I’m getting a headache listening to their voices. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
The First 10 Applications I Install On My Nokia Phones
What’s good about the S60-powered Nokia phones like the Nseries I mostly use is that they are like computers: you can install applications. I go through a few phones for testing and review, so I’m accustomed to starting fresh and installing applications all the time. I’ll list the first 10 applications I install on my phones. I hope this list helps out the new users.
