The Mobile Perspective
Rant
The Address Book standards are broken
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 [...]
When will we have one inbox for all communications?
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 [...]
Emoze to the rescue as usual when Nokia Messaging hiccups
I’m a fare guy, I use 2 apps to do the work of 1 because I like to see them in action. I’ve been using Nokia Messaging for my email for a while now and have gone back and forth with it. I also use emoze (a client of mine) to collect my email. emoze [...]
Nokia Messaging went down and Emoze stood tall
As many of you know I am a big mobile email user on my E71 and just to be transparent I do work for emoze, the best push email provider avaialble. Though that doesn’t mean I don’t use other email services. I’m on email so much I use both emoze and Nokia Messaging but earlier [...]
Contact apps can’t handle 2 people per card… So what about couples?
So I’m sick and tired of contact management applications. I have not come across anything that does the job well enough. I am frustrated with a specific aspect of contact apps at the moment. I have a very common situation which is that I have many friends that are couples or married so I put [...]
Pushing down on the E75 D-pad doesn’t always work…
I have been having real issues with the E75 and using the D-pad to press down. I know I’m not the only one so why is it so mushy? This is an E series device not some $15 prepaid dumb phone, it’s supposed to be the flagship of Nokia’s E series and a replacement for [...]
Why aren’t more people on Ovi Contacts (IM)?
I’m not here to criticize my friends or Nokia or my friends at Nokia. Nor do I want to pressure them. But I haven’t seen all that many people on Ovi Chat. I know what you’re going to say, I don’t need another IM ID. Well I know lots of people who signed up for [...]
Smart Phones aren’t that smart
I’ve been using a smart phone for a while now and I don’t think they are all that smart anymore.They are not keeping up with where I think they should be. I need my phone to get smarter. Maybe in my case that means I want my phone manufacturer to get smarter or maybe it’s [...]
Google Voice should hire Spinvox for message transcription
I have been using GrandCentral for years and when they announced Google Voice I was elated. I could not wait for the new features including my absolute favorites being SMS and voice mail being transcribed to text and emailed and texted to you. Well the SMS is great but the voice transcription is dreadful. I [...]
Why does everybody have a QWERTY keyboard phone now?
Suddenly it seems like everywhere I turn everyone has a phone with a QWERTY keyboard. I am curious why that is. Is it the new statuesque? Does this mean everyone is writing emails on their phone? Or are people just texting with their QWERTY handsets? I have asked a few people and one or two [...]
