Before leaving for Italy, I already planned how to stay connected to the internet using my Nokia N85 (version RM-333) and a prepaid SIM card. It proved to be harder than I thought during the first four days of my stay. I’m not sure whether the problem is the phone or the SIM card.

Setting up Google Sync on my Nokia 5800 after reading the announcement on Wednesday made me very happy! Whatever I edit or add on my phone’s calendar or contacts automatically show up within minutes in my computer. This works from computer to phone as well. Since the data is stored by Google, it is also accessible from any computer I use with internet connection. The best thing about this is I don’t need to manually sync each time I make any changes. Thanks Google!

Readers mentioned a noticeable light leakage on the white Nokia N97 protoypes and this got me concerned. When you’re spending a relatively large amount of money on a high-end device, you’re entitled to expect high quality from the manufacturer even if it means criticizing small issues like the light emitting from the call and end buttons. Fortunately, a recent Nokia N97 from Mobile Review does not show the problem anymore. Has Nokia fixed the issue?

As a Nokia and Mac user, I’ve been using the Nokia Multimedia Transfer to send music and videos between my phone and computer. A few readers recently told me to check out doubleTwist as an alternative. I’m not sure if I like it better than what I’ve been normally doing. What do you think?

I previously mentioned the camera angle on the Nokia 5800 made objects appear bigger while shooting widescreen video. Since the Nokia N97 also have the option to shoot widescreen nHD video, I was hoping for a wider angle so I won’t have to stand too far from my subjects. Fortunately, Julien Fourgeaud who works with the Nokia team on the N97, reads our blog and kindly sent a comparison photo.
