This last week has been hellish for some people.  Some people actually do do video chat on their mobile phones.  My sister does because her husband is on the other side of the world working and getting their new house set up.  Her son misses [...]

Wow, I’m finally fully recovered from my favorite party of the year.  BuzzWorthy was off the hook and you would know if you were there and if you missed it, well YOU MISSED OUT (Will).  We packed the our space, standing room only and had [...]

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.

Maps: Nokia Maps 3.0 Beta and Google Maps
Twitter: Gravity (it’s buggy on the [...]

So I just got back Friday afternoon from CTIA in Las Vegas. As a whole in terms of announcements, hardware and software it was quite a boring show. I did get to play with the Nokia E71x, N97 and E75 (I got to take one of these home, I have a review coming), those were [...]

They are focused on bridging the 3G VoIP gap on the iPhone – anywhere.
Here are some highlight of the new app.
