Apps I loaded on E71

July 13th, 2009 · 3 Comments

I left on vacation a few days back, as I write this I’m in the passenger seat of a giant 12 passenger Ford F350 van.  This thing is a monster but I like it. I’ve been preparing my electronic gear bag (I like to call it my toy bag) and I never know exactly what [...]

TripIt is good but!!!

September 8th, 2008 · 3 Comments

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.  [...]

June 6th, 2008 · No Comments

I have been using a Proporta for about 2 months now and I must say, these guys have a great product. I am using it rarely because I work in an office most of the time but when I do need it, it has been ridiculously useful. I used them first back in [...]
