Reasons Why Nokia Products & Services Should Be Compatible to Mac

There are people who convert from PC to Mac everyday (this is hardly the other way round)
Mac + PC users = The Entire World
PC users =/= The Entire World
The Entire World = More business dominance
Not every Mac user uses an iPhone as their choice of […]

Dear Nokia,
Please make Nokia Music Store, PC Suite and other Nokia services, to be compatible with Mac OS. We love your products and services, just don’t deprive us from them
Looking forward to the good news one day.

AHH HAA! I got my hands on N96 recently and good news to people like my younger brother, who enjoys listening to music on the go, N96 is one of the few Nokia devices that is going to have “Come with Music”. If you haven’t heard of “Come with Music”, go check out my features […]

I’m feeling spoilt silly with all the mobile devices that I have now!!
Anyways, I have some tips and shortcuts for E71 that I wanna share today. Although they can be found on internet, I took the time to consolidate and organised them for easy reads.

I know I know I know!
This is a little belated since we have entered into the new year. Nonetheless, here is a quick look at the worst and best mobile phones that I get in 2008.
YEAH, those that I have.

Worst phone:

INCONSIDERATE PHONE USERS.
“There is nothing wrong with the device. The problem lies in you, the user.”
I can say this on and on like a broken record but I think our public transport should restrict passengers from talking loudly on the phone and everyone should wear earphones if they want to play music on their phone.
Whenever […]

Our cell phones have evolved from a device that enable us to make simple phone calls, to today’s multi-purpose mobile device where you can call, sms, listen to music, video call, surf net, check emails… and almost every other things that you can imagine.
Today, I’m going to share with you the top 3 activites on […]

My thrill for E71 is kinda dying. I’m looking forward to get my hands on Nokia 5800 XpressMusic when it’s out! This is one of the perks of being the guru here. New phone sets! *beam*
On the same musical note, check out my recent feature article on “The Music Revolution”.

If there is one thing that I’m not looking forward to receiving for Christmas, it is the mass Christmas greeting spams on SMS.
Does it ever annoy you? I’m cool with birthday SMSes. Since it is more personal and you know your friend bothers to remember your birthday. But Christmas message spam is no no for […]

My boyfriend’s family has a maid.
She can cook a variety of dishes, yet she doesn’t cook all the time. She keeps the house fairly clean, but she never clean the cats’ poo or aquarium. If I have to describe her in one sentence, she is a lazy maid. Lazy with a capital L.
Okay. Let’s call […]

4. Opening presents
5. Eating chocolate cakes from Awfully Chocolate which I’m going […]

I hate to do this to you (especially those who are sick of Sarah Palin). But for the sake of people who have been living under the rock, Sarah Palin was punk’d over the phone last month. Something made me dug this video out again for you to listen to the conversation here:

Living in the information age sometimes means that communication through cell phones, computers and internet can be very important to us. Recently, I was appalled to find out that my cell phone did not receive SMSes that were sent to me.
Even though this is not the first time it happened (the last time was a […]

Hey all! Sorry that I went MIA from Nokiazone for more than a month. Apparently, I had some problems with my login and I’m glad that it is all fixed now. If you’re interested to find out what I’ve been up to when I was away, feel free to check out my personal blog at […]

I’m not sure how many of you had watched this video by Google recently, but I expected it to be more entertaining and nerdy at the same time. Can you imagine if you live your life this way? Some yes, some no. But of course, the video is slightly exaggerated […]

“The ‘Real Space See-through Mobile’ software comes from KDDI’s R&D laboratory and Tokyo University and is – you’ll not be surprised to learn – still just a prototype.

After the recent episode of good Samaritans who returned my lost laptop, I thought of writing this blog entry on security measures on your mobile phones since it is the most commonly lost / stolen compared to bigger items.
1. The most basic method is to get the international mobile equipment identity (usually known as IMEI) […]

I just got my laptop back this morning and I’m really thankful that the honest cab driver returned it to me. Anyway, here’s some light hearted stuff for a Sunday!

I wonder if this car-phone could work for real…

Although steampunk has been around for a long time, it was only recently that I had an immerse liking for it. Just look at this kickass steampunk desktop. I would love to have this for myself! But I was told that its materials would cost me a few thousand dollars…

I knew a friend who has phobia with phone, but I can’t figure out if it is really phone phobia or social anxiety disorders.
She has a mobile phone but hardly use it unless she is talking to her boyfriend or close friends. Occasionally, she has to handle work-related calls and fears answering the phone / […]

When we talk about phone, we’ll talk about its functions and some specifications. But for me who feels that the look of tech product should be as good as its capabilities, I’ll look about its appearance before going into the substance. This is how the law of attraction works for me with tech. (site note: […]

Story description: A gay-looking man (well, probably a gay) was having a helluva fun with his partner in a club. They were communicating via video calls when a black gay from the opposite mistook that he was flirting to him and caught the gay couple by surprise.

It’s very interesting to see how different commercials can vary from countries to countries. After all, coming from a country where most of our local ads / commercials were too darn straightward or cheesy, I could be so easily impressed when I saw how good European / Japanese / American’s […]

This ad was obviously exaggerated to mock at annoying phone users and have a good laugh over it. Given the same situation, many of us (who are “evil” or “annoyed” enough) would probably imagine this happening on such irresponsible and disrespectful people too.
Here are 10 places / situations where you […]

I always want to bake cakes like this. Make a geeky cake, a techie cake, a cute cake, a cake for fun! But the old folks at home don’t want a convention oven to take up space in the kitchen. How is a kitchen complete without an oven? I don’t even have microwave oven at […]

Artists around the world never fail to amaze me with their interesting concepts and executions. I stumbled upon Cell Phone Disco by a group of artists from Netherlands who use cell phone as digital art. (I <3 it when tech meets art.)

I chanced upon this interesting photo essay that shares with us what happens to dead cellphones in the US. It basically documented the entire process of sorting out dead phones - if they go to hell or get reincarnated.
You’ll be surprise to know that 60% of these abandoned cellphones got fixed and refurbished again for […]

Once upon a time, mobile phones were merely communication tools that allow us to make calls on the go. Then, it came the short message service which let us send messages. Before you know it, your phone comes with whole list of functions, applications and camera that you can make full use of.
What’s next? Piano […]

A high school in Sydney plans to let their students phone a friend to check out the answers on the internet during their exams.
This is the theory behind this decision:
In their working lives they will never need to carry enormous amounts of information around in their heads. What they will need to do is access […]

Just as Beijing’s Olympics all-pride-and-glory debut ended today, I stumbled upon an article on a electronic lover man from China who self-built a 3-foot tall replica of his mobile phone. It felt as if I haven’t gotten enough of China, but I really had. :S

Looking at this massive phone, it isn’t the size of the […]

How many times did your phone battery go flat when you needed it the most? Perhaps not many times if you charge your battery frequently. But I’m sure there are times when you wished you had a charger with you. Now given a regular charger without any available electrical socket and electricity, this charger is […]

Well, to be honest with you, I have a love-and-hate relationship with iPhone. From the first piece of news on iPhone which left me yearning for one, to its very first release and continual hype that turned me off from getting one, I’m always having this internal struggle.
To my friends who own an iPhone: Uh… […]

In case you’re wondering, yes those are all cell phones. They are the work of new media artist Rob Petit, who first began experimenting with mobile phones as an art medium a year to two ago. Since then he has gone on to make some visually stunning pictures by literally just piling up lots […]

So just the other day, I was having lunch with a friend when he suddenly turns to me, and breathlessly revealed “next week I’m getting an iPhone!” Unfortunately for him, his eager, earnest excitement crashed right into my nonchalance. And yet again, this particular friend found himself annoyed that I was sharing in his barely-kept-in-checked […]

I’m sure we’ve all been here before. Someone whom you can’t stand, but sadly have to live with (your boss, annoying group members and classmates, or your slightly senile mother) has just called. Of course, you’re no mood to bother listening to whatever nonsense they have to tell you. So the question is, how do […]

Just the other day I saw two primary school boys playing some sort of blue tooth game on their iPhones. This is probably going to make me sound unnecessarily old, but really I couldn’t help but envy the kind of affluence kids have these days. I mean, when I got my first hand phone (a […]

So I know I’ve been a little late on the entries for a bit, but for once I’m going to be hopelessly unapologetic. Because there’s one big word on my, and indeed everyone’s lips, and it just might be taking up every waking moment. Naturally it starts with an O, and ends with a C. […]

So every time around this year, I get just a little gloomy. While the SAF and other performers do their thing in the national day parade,  I find myself cooped up at home wondering how this little island, with all it’s little quirks and odd ends, is going to do for the next year. On […]

Imagine a phone that looks and could function like a normal pen?

I was doing my regular readings online when I stumbled upon this website through links. Meet Nokia 9900, a concept phone model that was done by this guy.

Initially, I thought it was for real because I didn’t notice the text “concept phone” at all. […]

“The Curse of the BlackBerry” was on my Gmail news while I was checking my email the other day. As curious as a cat, I clicked on the link even though I kind of know what curse it is after numerous scenes that I’ve seen on TV and movies.

I was checking out the Navigator phone last week and to my surprise, I didn’t manage to open the back cover of the phone as easily as I thought. After some initial attempts, I struggled vigoriously and finally, I pried open the casing like an amatuer opening a durian.

Anyway,  I dig the back […]

These days, I had to wake up as early as 6a.m. for work assignments and appointment. Any waking timing that is ranging from 5.30a.m. to 7a.m. is considered a torture for me. But I’m not complaining cos’ holding different jobs means that I have to adapt to different work natures. In times like that, even […]
