Lookie lookie what I got my hands on.  It’s the Nokia N85 iSync plugin for Macs.  I can not vouch for this app but it does come from Nokia.  I have not used it yet because I don’t have an N85.  Hint hint, if someone wants to send me the N85 I would be eternally […]

I had to reinstall Defi a mobile VOIP application for Nokia E and N series devices that support wifi last week.  So I thought I would record it and show you how easy it is to do.  Unfortunately the only other device I had with me at the time was a Nokia E71 that as […]

So I did not use the Nokia E71 for over 24 hours and the battery lasted.  Here are the details.  Wednesday was a short day for me but I still managed to kill the E71 battery before 2pm and then charged it back up 3/4 of the way before I unplugged everything at about 4pm.  […]

Wow, it’ been a while that I’ve been using GrandCentral (one number to rule them all, by forwarding your calls to upto 5 US #rs at once) and I have always been quite happy with their service.  In the last few months though I have been getting perturbed that they don’t forward SMS/text messages to […]

I had never heard of DeFi until today and now I’m using their service and REALLY liking it.  DeFi is geared to international callers and heavy talkers.  They offer unlimited mobile VOIP or mVOIP calls to anywhere in the world (on Nokia S60 phones) as long as you’re on wifi for $40/month.  I call that […]
