Use Ovi Maps with NO Data at all after SideLoading

Spending time in the Nokia suite at MWC in Barcelona I got to chatting with the maps guys and I learned something interesting thanks to Rita alerting me to the data usage issue.  Ovi Maps can be used out in the field entirely without a data connection. Yes you read that right, no data necessary [...]

FourSquare popularity is starting to wane

So I’ve been a big fan of FourSquare for months now.  I never minded seeing peoples updates in Twitter but it seems like MANY people do.  Anyways, I’ve nearly lost all interest in FourSquare in the last month or so for no known reason.  I’ve also been hearing more and more backlash against people posting [...]

Nokia C5 is the future of Nokia Smart Phones

I may be late to the game but I think Nokia is doing what Nokia does best, make phones people want and buy.  Isn’t that what it’s all about.  I know Nokia has been playing catchup for a while now and they will continue to for many years on the touch screen front, but I [...]

Ovi Store should start selling phones

Ovi Store is what it’s called, right?  they why is it only selling apps.  Why isn’t the Ovi Store selling Nokia handsets and accessories?  Nokia clearly has the ability to sell devices online already directly to the consumer so what’s holding them back from selling phones on the Ovi Store?  If Ovi bills the service [...]

Short review of the Blackberry Curve 8520

I’ve been using the Blackberry Curve 8520 on T-Mobile here in the USA on and off for a few weeks now.  I see how and why so many business people are such huge Blackberry fans.  My family and friends call me a power emailer so I was very excited to get my hands on the [...]

What does Skype buying Gizmo Project mean for Truphone and the next Billion

What does it mean if Skype buys Gizmo Project? This is a huge deal for the VOIP industry.  It is a big deal for something that keeps going thorough my mind “The next Billion” (meaning the next billion people to get mobile phones and get on the mobile web).  The first thing that came to [...]
