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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve been reading Ewan MacLeod’s blogs for many years now.  I started back when MIR was SMSTextNews and was inspired by Ewan to write my own blog and endevour into the mobile industry.  I went from an observer to someone involved and participating, from hosting [...]

Warning, I’m about to RANT:
I’m a huge fan of Google Maps.  It’s really a great stand alone app and it keeps getting better but I’m amazed that when they added Latitude they did not include (even just a basic form of) instant messaging with your [...]

A few months back I was flying out of Long Beach Airport (LGB) in California and decided to test the internet speed when I was there.  I like many others have been known to spend a great deal of time waiting for flights that are sometimes shorter then the time we wait in the airport.  [...]

So I used the E75 for a while then went back to my trusty E71 and back and forth and back and forth for weeks now.  I love the format of my E71 but like the menu and speed of the E75.  Plus the E75 has US 3G and my E71 doesn’t.
I keep telling myself [...]

I hate to be a complainer about things and I tend to only be the squeaky wheel when it’s necessary.  Well this is really annoying.  I’m a huge fan of Nokia and they are good to me but there’s something about all their phones that drives me bonkers.  Nokia S60 phones are little computers and [...]

So I just looked up the Nokia E72 on the Nokia website and noticed that it is missing a few things.  First off it won’t have included in the packaging a wrist strap or pouch like the E71 had.  It’s not a huge thing but come on, this is supposed to be a step up [...]

Alright, I’m sick and tired of the address book standards we have now.  It’s utterly ridiculous that I can’t sync across multiple platforms specifically Google Contacts which includes Gmail and Google Voice 2 mobile numbers for the same contact.  Even worse why in the world can’t I have 2 people in the same contact and [...]

I use messaging a great deal, from sms to email to instant messaging to Twitter to video chat to voice mail (unfortunately), I spend a lot of time communicating.  I was thinking recently when will we see messaging apps evolve again?  I’m hoping Google Wave will help but I don’t think it will take it [...]
