Experience
As they say, sharing is caring, and our trial users do care. Armed with their trusty Nokia devices, our trial users recorded and shared life’s simplest moments with the growing community known as Nokia viNe. Check out their thoughts on the Nokia viNe application, and for all you know, you might find yourself as a new member of the Nokia viNe community!
The viNe software came preinstalled and was intuitive to use. It would serve best as a diary for an overseas trip to share all those fabulous experiences. The feature I was most impressed with is Geo-tagging, where you can tag a picture with a GPS location. Would certainly be continuing this viNe experience after the return of the trial handset, & with my own!
After registering for the Nokia viNe experience, everything was pretty smooth sailing. I could take photos at random after I start recording the vines. Items recorded could be uploaded at my convenience, recording could be paused, and it allows me to continue on recording from where I left off.
Some cons are that using the Nokia viNe application is quite taxing on the mobile phone’s battery. Uploading files when using wireless could also sometimes freeze halfway through the transfer.
Overall, I would say that Nokia viNe is a wonderful program to be equipped with; it captures nostalgic memories that can be viewed in future.
Nokia viNe is an interesting concept. Imagine: one can easily upload and update where they are and what are they doing at any given moment, without expensive data charges. This is great for a field trip report, or maybe an Amazing Race type of event. Or simply showing people where good food, music and places to chill out can be found.
Personally however, it isn’t as useful to me as I initially thought it would be. Perhaps I am not the type of person who likes to frequently update people on what’s happening in my life. Another concern is of course, the data charges incurred if one is not able to connect to a Wi-Fi network.
While it may be interesting concept, another area of concern is this, with options like blogs and social networking sites, could this be just a passing fad? Perhaps with lower data charges, it might be feasible especially for youth/students.
