This past weekend, I attended BarcampLA6 which took place at Mahalo HQ in Santa Monica, CA. Barcamp is an “unconference ” where people can share and learn in an open environment. Most of Los Angeles’ tech community showed up to talk about things they are knowledgeable about. I attended talks ranging from dating tips, zombie hacking, budget movie making and twitter novels. I took a lot of pictures with the Nokia N82.

Hello, Bonjour, Sat Shri Akal, Namaste, Salaam! Behold everyone Dr. is in the house. Yes, that’s right! I’m Dr. Anirudh Sharma aka Gomcoite from The S60 Blog. Thank you Mark for having me here. Recently Mark upgraded to his New Nokia N85 Euro/Asia Model off a great deal on eBay. I too am round the same corner and am looking for that perfect device to upgrade from my present Nokia N82.

I tried winning a Nokia N82 and bluetooth headset BH-902 by uploading a stickfighting performance video, but it’s not doing too well. The challenge ends on Sept. 8th, so try your luck. Just for entering, I received an unusual package from Nokia that made my girlfriend smile.

Trinity, one of our sponsors here at the Nokia Blog, sent a Nokia N82 leather case to review. I have never protected my phones with leather cases before because I think they cover my devices’ beauty. With the Trinity Nokia N82 leather case, the front of the phone retains its appearance with the help of see-through plastic. The rest of the phone is covered by leather. For those who want to protect their phone Trinity can be one to consider.

For those who don’t know yet, there are faster ways to mark or select multiple images and videos on the Nokia/S60 Gallery. This is really useful for transferring files to your computer through bluetooth, or uploading multiple photos to Flickr and Ovi using the Nokia Share Online application.
