Category Archives: nokiaI got an email from Comcast recently that had a lot of crap I could care less about. However, there was a small little blurb that did catch my attention:
As a Comcast High-Speed Internet customer, you’re entitled to receive a wide range of benefits and services at no additional charge. One of these is called […]
I have been using Twitter a bit more than I was before thanks to this nifty little J2ME app for Nokia phones called Twibble. It runs in the background and pulls the latest tweets from my friends over whatever connection I happen to have. I can page through them at my leisure, respond to them–it […]
Some days, it seems like I write about Nokia a lot here. But it’s almost never about the part of the company I actually work for. Today, I get to share something that I actually helped play a small role in–getting our Technical Assistance Center SCP certified for 5 years running.
So what is SCP Certification? […]
This video was done by Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal in October, well before the recent announcements from Verizon and AT&T about “opening their networks.” Even if the carriers are going to open up and allow you to bring your own device, the reality is, it’s still outside of the realm of the […]
While I’ve clearly had some sips of the Nokia cool-aid–comes with having worked there for as long as I have–I have to say, this latest announcement brings back memories of Tamagotchi. Because that’s what Creebies is: Tamagotchi on a Nokia phone.
Oh sure, unlike the original Tamagotchi games back in the mid 1990s, this will be […]
There was an article in the New York Times today about my employer’s desire to increase their market share numbers here in the United States. Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, pictured left, or OPK as we refer to him internally, was interviewed for this piece and is quoted a number of times.
This news did not go unnoticed by […]
I think I’ve played with the Nokia N81 8GB enough to render a verdict. If you want to see how I got here, read the following posts:

After the firmware upgrade to the Nokia N95, I switched back to the Nokia N95 for a couple of days to see how the new 20.0.015 firmware worked. It worked especially good. However, one problem remained: the absolute crap battery life. Yes, I have an N95-1, which has the 950mAh battery, and the way I […]
The least impressive part of the Nokia N81 8GB, from my point of view, is the camera. Perhaps it is because I am spoiled by the N95’s 5 megapixel goodness, but let’s face it: the N81 is a music device, not really a camera device. I was not happy with a single shot I took […]
One of the cool things about the Nokia N81 8GB is that podcasts are actually treated like first class citizens now! As you can see, it’s right there with Music.

I think I’m over the uncomfortable bits of my strep throat. There are stragglers, of course, but I think I’m back in action. It’s a good thing I blog ahead since I was pretty thin with posts this past week. Looks like I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
So without further […]
The next part of the Nokia N81 I’m going to talk about is the Navi Wheel. It has some good and bad points, which I will get into.

The Navi Wheel is over the square […]
One of the things I have oh-so appreciated as of late is the Nokia Multimedia Transfer application. It has made syncing music and media from my Mac to my Nokia Nseries and Eseries devices a good experience. It’s not nearly as fast as my iPod Shuffle, but at least it makes it just about as […]
Last week, I got a surprise package at my front door: a Nokia N81 8GB, courtesy of the fine folks at Comunicano who run the Nokia Blogger Relations program. I’ve had a few days to play with the device and will do a series of posts about the device.
The first post I will do is […]
