The Nokia E71
Comments
Just got the E71 to play with. Hence I shall put my M1 Data Card in there and use it mainly for Exchange Mail, while my normal SIM card will stay in my 6210 Navigator. The E71 built rocks, it’s stainless steel and it feels a million dollars! (Not that I will buy it if it does costs a million dollars :P)Let me run Mail4Exchange and check out the battery life…

I like
The color
It feels sturdy and solid
The default wallpaper! (It also tells you how important the GPS is to the phone)
The dedicated GPS button in the shape of a star that’s glowing!
Brand new Nokia Maps
The new hinge covering the MicroSD Slot
The press and hold the cancel button to power up the phone

Just received the Nokia 6210 Navigator to test, it looks pretty good, and feels sturdy and “metallic” (though it’s all plastic).From the name and looks of it, it would seems that the USP for this phone is the Navigation features, which I will test it out, after I register the 6 months navigation license that [...]
”Nokia will pay $410 million for the remaining shares in UK-based smartphone software maker Symbian and make its software royalty-free to boost phone sales and respond to new rivals such as Google, a Reuters report said.”Nokia already owns a majority of Symbian, this is probably a symbolic move in the outlook of a more competitive [...]

(I set heartbeat to “when new mail comes in”)Weirdly, Mail For Exchange refuses [...]

I’ve got many calls “cut-off” and friends complaining about the bad reception while I was on the N78. I didn’t have such complains when I was using the E90. Not too sure what could be causing it, but it’s happening quite frequently.Would have to return the N78 soon, it isn’t a bad phone but there’s just [...]
It was a strange feature, then again, it’s not really weird why Nokia put a FM Transmitter into the phone.There was a time when the headunit in my car didn’t come with an AUX port. Hence, I used to buy FM Transmitter to listen to my 192Kb birate MP3… at FM Stereo quality :PJust for [...]

Was playing around on YouTube.com on my E90 v200 firmware. (Webkit + flashlite3!). Realised that while playback of flash based videos are generally fine and smooth (on 512Kbps HSDPA), the browser is at times quite unresponsive.
But hey, that’s better than seeing a Javascript not supported error page. Also tried to load in a few Web [...]

There’s no iTunes store in Singapore, however, there are many other music stores online like Soundbuzz & the likes. Not many has hit the popularity like the Apple one though.

The Nokia N810 Linux-based internet tablet has a wifi built-in, runs off Maemo Linux and has a GPS built-in. With a qwerty keyboard for input and touchscreen, it sounds like a dream device until I found out it doesn’t have a 3G/3.5G built-in.
Why did Nokia leave this option out is definitely a business decision (me [...]

Just bought the HTC Shift a while back, it’s quite an amazing device despite the fact “Voice-Dialing” is not enabled (until a hack comes along :P). The device I’ve mentioned above are basically devices I own, or have used for a while and that they belong to the “same” genre, your mileage may vary.

If you have a GPS-enabled device, this blue dot corresponds to your GPS location. At times, or if you do not have a GPS-enabled phone, you might see the blue dot surrounded by a light blue circle (as shown on the right) to indicate uncertainty about your location.
Why the uncertainty? The My Location feature takes [...]
What is Dynamic Voltage & Frequency Scaling (DVFS)?
From what we learn in school (a very long time ago :P), DVFS in computer architecture, is a technique to conserve battery/energy/power, utilising the processor at a slower/lower clockspeed or frequency. (Think Underclocking)
DVFS under-performs & underclocks itself by cutting back the number of instructions a processor can process [...]

It’s been a while since I sold my Nokia N95 Classic for the Nokia E90 Communicator. The E90 is a terrific replacement, otherwise for it’s size, but I can live with that. After all, I have been using a Dopod 900 PDA Phone for the last 2 years.
After I sold the N95, then all the [...]

The firmware (much awaited one) E90 Communicator Firmware is here! At version 7.40.1.2, not sure what changelog this version holds, but probably the same as what was already released everywhere else. This firmware weighs 83.3MB and it’s time to upgrade!!
Finally! A-GPS
Booted up Windows Vista in Parallels this Deepavali morning and PC Suite detected that is a PC Suite Patch version 6.84.10.4. It seems to be updated on 24-8-2007 though not sure why it only got released until now.
But still my main purpose of booting Vista is to check for the much awaited E90 Communicator [...]
A happy review of the Nokia N81/8GB by AAS, it seems that there are many good reviews about this phone all over. From the great speakers to the rich vibrant screen, everyone has something to like.

A quick pairing got Leopard and the E90 paired. With only 1 option to check to allowing the using of the E90’s Internet Access, I was surprised to see that it automatically detected the phone as a Nokia phone and had the script ready to be used. All you had to do is just fill [...]

Tried to pair the Apple Wireless Keyboard with the Nokia N800…. and it works! It’s much easier to surf the web and email now, making the Nokia N800 (with Apple Wireless Keyboard) like a bigger version of the N810! Now we just got to wait for OS2008 to be released.

The brand new Nokia N95/8GB review has began to stream into the internet. I used to own the “vanilla” N95, and in my first post, I mentioned numerous complaints with regards to the phone. Has the Nokia N95/8GB solved anything? Let’s take a look at it’s main features.
There is no more MicroSD slot as there’s [...]
Encoding videos seems to be a chore for a screen like the E90 Communicator. The screen is 800 x 352 which roughly translates to 16:5 which is of a weird aspect ratio. So neither crop or squeeze would be satisfactory. Recently I downloaded some trailers from Apple.com (in 1080P no less!) and used this software [...]
