Well the price plans seem steep and buying the phone seems quite steep as well. So I think I’ll wait and see what Singtel has to offer before I head down and perhaps grab one for myself.

I found out about this game from my manager who played it on his Nokia 6210, yeah it’s a ermz… entry level phone but running Symbian. So this little Java game got me intrigued and I search all over the net to find this game.
Guess what! It’s a free download or so I think, anyway [...]

I was in the office the other day and wondered what would be the outcome of the Singapore Table Tennis matches as there were some very intense conversations going on in the online forums on the match but I had to see if for myself.

Was checking out the various power options to keep my power hungry phone (with 3G switched on) alive and well I stumbled upon a solution by Nokia.
Tada!! Introducting the Nokia powerpack DC-1, looks nice and keeps your phone juiced up for all you portability needs. Pretty expensive though, at approximately 105 euros a pop, I [...]

I think this is a much talked about topic but mostly done in the form of stress tests, drop tests etc. But I wonder how durable should a mobile gadget be before it’s called worthy to be priced rather expensively.

I always have to remember that everytime I forget to charge up my phone for the next day. Today I stepped out of my home to find that my phone is down to 2 bars and my charger is in the house. Of course having a common phone or should I say common brand is [...]

Hmm… I was checking out the various sites and was quite amused to find out that Blackberry connect was not shipped with the E71! Well not that I would need it or anything and of course there is the matter of cost when applying for the service but seriously it would have been great as [...]

I’ve been using my E65 for say less then a year and it is starting to show signs of failure. Quite scary to know that my phone can potentially die on my soon. I’ve set my eyes on the new E71 after having trial the phone a couple of weeks back.
Apologies for the lack in [...]

Yes! I’m correct, other keen eyed gadgeteers also noticed the debut of the phone on the movie, it only had about 4 - 5 seconds of air time, when Morgan Freeman took the phone and handed it to the security at the same time took it out when it rang during his meeting with a [...]
Thanks Nokia for the tickets to the Gala Premier of Batman: The Dark Knight. Exciting show that kept me on my feet all the time, wondering what will happen next. The story is fantastic with me amazed at how twisted the author’s mind is when creating the story.
Beautiful portrayal of the Joker by the late [...]

I’m using a E65 currently, it’s a great phone and all but the slider seems to have some problems with the circuits, sometimes when I slide the phone down it restarts and even worse it shuts down without me realising!!
Maybe it’s cause I too violent bah… hmm… but should it not show you the screen [...]

… in Hong Kong. The phones are out and crackers have already started their work in unlocking the phones for region use. I just though about the iPhone and it being locked to a particular vendor. Quite stupid I should say, which means I need another phone when I travel cause I will not be [...]
iPhone coming soon to Hong Kong?
It’s going to Hong Kong first before making it’s stop in Singapore. Rumor has it that the phone will be retailing for approximately HK$4000 with a contract that’s about S$700 for the phone. Things sure do not look promising and I wonder what the launch price will be? Sigh… [...]
Hmm… Nokia connecting people? Or are their service centers disconnecting them?I’ve just got to rant on this issue, there should be some changes done on the operational guidelines for the service at Nokia Care Centers! With new phones and the new features how much more time would it take for you blokes to copy the [...]
I guess it’s a no brainer for most people cause the rational is quite simple. Since I’m going to be using my phone for the next X years why not just re-contract and enjoy a smashing new handset at a subsidised price?
Currently I’m thinking if I should wait out for the iPhone cause I can [...]
My colleague purchased the phone over the weekend and told me about the deal that Singtel is running for the newly launched phone. Quite a good deal for such a phone with such good connectivity.
You can purchase the phone at $168 with selected plans from Singtel and from what I understand the promo ends today. [...]
It’s coming soon, hurray the mobile device which I am so waiting for. I’ve always been so fascinated by this little portable wonder.
Multi-touch, cover flow, maps, HSDPA. Hmm… when you list down the functions it really does not match up to the N95 8GB other then the fact that they have a touch screen with [...]
Before I’m getting my hands on the preview set, I guess it’s really tinker around the various webpages where people have already put up information on these handsets to get a better understanding at the same time different angle of view on the products. I checked out a report on this website.

iSync is not supported by Sony Ericsson and I cannot syncronize my contacts and my schedule with the phone! Argh, I’ve got to pick up and use this phone again, I guess notthing beats using your own mobile phone ya?
Been looking around for alternate solutions to get my schedule onto my M600i but it’s going [...]
So you get this smashing new mobile device which cost you a bomb, I think we all like to keep our little precious devices clean and as new as possible but I just wonder to what extent do we go to keep our devices safe?

Wow, suddenly I found a new lease of life with the loaned N95 8GB. I think it’s better that I stick to a single brand of mobile phone. Having to carry multiple chargers around is quite the hassle.

The chase to put more into the mobile phone is endless, even as we continue to press and push more and more functions into the mobile phone we sometimes just end up disappointing ourselves as these little devices of wonder start to become more fragile and break down easily.

Does anyone have any friends who still do not use mobile phones? I know a friend who refuses to get one, even through constant pestering from her friends and fellow colleagues. She still uses the phone (landline) but to reach her it would require some effort, after all most of us have already gotten used [...]
I’m not very sure what’s up with me these days, but budget phones are the craze. Got my self the Vodaphone 225, really budget phone, does not even come with vibration function. I was quite shock at first. But I guess it takes some time to get used to.
Anyway personally I kinna like no frill [...]

This is one thing I really dislike about the phone. It’s the navigation button. I’m certain it’s a cost issue rather then an aesthetic issue. What I hate about the button is the single piece construct as opposed to the double piece construct which is seen on my E65 where the selection button is separate [...]
It’s not the first time this happened already. I have had to shut down and power up the phone again because of some silly system error. It happens when I make use of the camera and at times it will just display a message saying an error occurred, power off and on the phone again.
Argh! [...]

Hi everyone, it’s a little late haha but I would just like to pen down my festive greetings for this season, been enjoying the many parties and gatherings that I find so much less time to keep myself up to date with what’s hot in the market. I’ve been using less of my DSLR, kinna [...]
Argh, I was in a hurry to try out the online services and I uploaded a couple of pictures into my flickr account. They software REMOVED my photos from the phone and uploaded them into my flickr account. The problem is, the images were RESIZED and I got a low resolution photo! So those who [...]

With the not so successful nGage, or that’s in my opinion. Nokia is in the process of creating yet another “gaming console”. Personally I’m quite skeptical about the feasibility of the phone, with the Nintendo DS and the PSP, portable gaming consoles have become very advanced and not to mention the many companies which are [...]
Words cannot describe how great the N82 has been for me during this holiday season, even as I go from party to party the built in camera comes in really really handy. The image quality is exceptionally good for a phone. Just had my company dinner at the MINT museum of toys and had a [...]
Nokia has launch the N95 twice, once as the N95 and the second as the N95 8GB. I think the phone is great and many love the phone and like the way it provides the integrated capabilities which every road warrior desires. So how can we continue to evolve the N95? Saw this topic [...]
Here’s an odd one for you, a Nokia patent application just revealed those images above. The odd part is not so much the slider mechanism they are attempting to patent. Rather, it’s the use of those dumbed-down product images instead of the purposely vague schematic usually submitted to the USPTO. And if we’re not mistaken, [...]
Was surfing around for some nice games which I could install into the N series phone so that I would have something to do on the bus rides to and from work. Stumbled upon this game Blazar for the S60 3rd Edition. Game is a scrolling shoot em up, but what caught my attention was [...]
“With a veil of secrecy around it that rivals the darkness of Apple’s PR department, Project White Rock, the multiplayer experience for N-Gage due out mid 2008 has had good feedback from the testers (according to this report on Pocket Gamer).

Managed to pick up the N82 and play around with the phone, the main feature which I think this phone stands out from the others is the camera capabilities. It’s 5mpx camera is great for taking those impromptu shots without having the need to whip out your digital camera. The image quality is very good [...]
“Of course the 3G iPhone is coming, that’s clearly in the evolution plan. As Jobs said himself, it’s only a matter of time until improved batteries allow for it. Still, when AT&T’s CEO Randall Stephenson says, “You’ll have it next year,” well, our ears tend to perk up.” - via engadget

Big booth with a nice background for the Nseries
Made a quick trip down to see the booth and check out what Nokia had to offer the new N82, which the images were take with is on sale at $998 if I remember correctly. Not the cheapest for a 5mpx camera phone I should say.

Copyrights are powerful things, once you get it you got some level of immunity which gives you the ability to offer something special in the market or demand a fee for it.

After spending about 1 over month with the phone, it’s time to say some parting words before it goes back to Nokia. I’ve to say that I’m still not full accustomed to opening my phone each time I want to do an SMS or just input my schedule but it works really well when I [...]

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia (NOK1V.HE: Quote, Profile, Research), the world’s largest cellphone maker, said on Tuesday a touch-screen version of its popular S60 smart phone software would be ready in 2008.

This is week 2 with the Nokia E90 and I’ve been enjoying the experience I have with it so far. At this point of time I should say that it does help me in many aspects of my work especially with the scheduling, not that the other Symbian models cannot do so, but I just [...]

Most homes come equiped with DHCP routers and such, for me I did not have such a luxury where I worked and need to configure the E90 to house a static IP so that I could gain access to the Internet via my E90. Oops, I’m so comfortable with the phone that I feel I [...]
Just last week, two of my friends were frantically trying to find the Nokia E90. But to our surprise there was a lack of stocks. Going through the Nokia website and calling most of the local Nokia authorised retailers only to be turned down by the dreaded words, “Sorry no stock”. Even the mobile operators [...]
Finally! How can you deny women their passion for pink? I was at Plaza Singapura the other night trying to get hooked up with a great deal for the E65. Yeah, it only cost S$88 with a 2 year contract, who could resist the temptation to get such a popular phone at such a fantastic [...]
When I saw the Nokia N95 and what it could do, I was quite impressed at how much power Nokia managed to squeeze into such a small form factor. It uses one of the fastest processors for the Symbian OS, ARM-11 based Texas Instruments OMAP2420 runing at 330MHz and has a 2D/3D graphic accelerator.
The phone [...]
