October 6th, 2008 · No Comments

So the nice people at Verizon sent me out a Nokia 6205 Dark Knight Edition a few months back for review.  I have been using it a bit and have some thoughts on it.  Some good and some just ok.
Let’s start with the positive.  Keep in mind this is a pretty basic device.  It is […]

August 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

I have just started using skyfire, a new mobile web browser, this evening and my first reaction is that it’s really living up to the hype.  Skyfire just started beta testing their first S60 iteration and I’m using it on my Nokia E61i over WiFi.  It loads fast and loads everything I’ve tried already. I […]
