Vringo makes your phone more fun
Vringo is hot! I have been using it on my Nokia E71 since this interview about 2 weeks ago with Andrew Perlman, the GM of Vringo US. Basically, it is a video ring tone for your mobile phone and so much more. You and your friends can share video ring tones and you can set [...]
Ovi is killing my phone book!!!
So I decided to sync my calendar/contacts with Ovi yesterday like I do every so often. I know it has some bugs but none of them had worked their way into my handset or any other copy of my contacts, until yesterday. I value my phone book more then anything else on the phone. I [...]
San Jose Airport WiFi is a ZERO
I was in San Jose airport last week waiting to fly home and was told there was free wifi. I had a few hours to kill and I went to the Bits & Bytes bar, plopped down ordered a Tuna sandwich and a beer expecting to spend a few hours working. Well, low and behold, [...]
ITExpo was made interesting by PhoneFusion
Wow, I feel like I’ve been all over the place lately but it really hasn’t been much, just CTIA and the ITExpo. Well I just got done with the ITExpo today and I must say, it was a lot more fun and interesting thanks to the PhoneFusion folks. Bianca, John, and David were great to [...]
Mute button on Nokia E71
I find myself on at least a few conference calls every week and I was always disappointed that the E71, such a business centric device didn’t have a mute button. Well come to find out it does. All I needed to do was ask the right people to learn it does. The right people are [...]
The Nokia E71 is blowing my mind
I have been using the Nokia E71 NAM for over 2 weeks now (thanks Colin at WOM World) and have been mostly impressed. As a whole I think it’s amazing but there are a few aspects of it that could use some work. For example, it needs to restart much less often, it also needs [...]
United Mobile is making waves
At CTIA I bumped into an old friend Oliver Rohl from United Mobile. They have a service with a sim card that provides no roaming anywhere in the world ever. They provide a number in Liechtenstein and give the caller competitive outgoing call rates. This is a great service for travelers who want to be [...]
Long Beach Airport Wifi is dead
I have used the free wifi in Long Beach, Ca Airport in the past and it was acceptable, but today it’s a no go. I was not even able to test the speed. I was expecting to get some work done while waiting in the terminal for my JetBlue flight to San Jose and I [...]
CTIA is off to a roaring start
Fall CTIA ’08 is off to a great start. I was invited to attend a cool networking party last night hosted by Nokia. As always they through a great party. We heard some speaches from Nokia execs and I did quite a bit of networking. Ewan MacLeod of Mobile Industry Review and I Today was [...]
TripIt is good but!!!
TripIt is good but!!! I can’t seem to export my flight details (like flight #rs and times) into iCal on my MacBook. I love that all these great details are on line but I want to be able to see them in the calendar of the Nokia E71 I’m using without having to go online. [...]
