Nokia E73 Mode Review

I was lucky enough to get invited to a party and video shoot highlighting the Nokia E73 recently (thanks to WOM World/Nokia).  I was given an E73 Mode to review and review it is what I’m doing.  I’m totally enthralled with this device, for the most part it’s everything I need it to be. I’m [...]

Google Latitude Needs More Privacy Options

I’m a big fan of Google Maps and have really enjoyed using Google Latitude.  But it has a really big fault in my opinion.  I hate the fact that I can’t block it from transmitting my location from 1 place in particular.  I’d really like to never tell anybody where my home is.  My home [...]

Is Nokia Dead??? Just kidding. I have a few suggestions err rant.

I keep reading about this, people ask me about it and I’ve even asked myself the question a few times.  The answer is NO, Nokia is nowhere near dead.  They sell a bazillion phones a day and are still the leader in smart phones with Symbian.  I personally prefer Symbian over every other platform I’ve [...]

Beating The High Cost of Roaming By Andy Abramson

My friend Andy Abramson just yesterday posted “Staying Connected- Beating The High Cost of Roaming http://ow.ly/18lHO6“.  I wanted to bring any attention I could to his article because it highlights one of my favorite companies, Truphone.  I’ve been an advocate of theirs for many years now have enjoyed their service for as long as it’s been [...]

Fring Skype And Nimbuzz What’s Going To Happen?

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 his Dad and so they Skype on her Nokia N78 [...]

I’m Frustrated With So Many Touch Screens Wheres the Blackberry Format?

I’m getting frustrated with mobile these days.  I am really tired of the popular formats of phones and nothing is really changing.  I know touchscreen only handsets are popular but I’m personally bored to bits of seeing them everywhere.  Everyone and their mother has a touchscreen phone and I see them struggling all the time. I [...]

The Nokia Ovi App Store should have the latest app builds

I don’t know why but I’m in a “Tell it as it should be” mood, so I’m going to voice my opinion once again.  And as usual it’s directed at Nokia, don’t take it personally Nokia, I really like you and want you to succeed and blow away the competition.  Now that that’s out of [...]

Touchnote at MWC ’10, These Guys are Geniuses

Here’s another late post to the blog.  This was taken back in February in Barcelona at MWC.  Touchnote is one of my favorite companies.  These guys can take your camera phone pictures and send them off as physical postcards to anywhere in the world.  Touchnote is currently abailable on the Ovi Store and the iPhone.

Calling All Kids, Have Your Parents Seen Kajeet?

A Friend of mine has a son named Jacob who’s recently started a blog.  He interviewed me for his science project on 3G speeds from AT&T, but that’s for another post.  He just posted a new blog about his interview with the CEO of Kajeet, a mobile phone service for kids.  I’ve reposted it below [...]

A call to action for Nokia to get more good apps built

Hello Nokia, are you there?  Are you listening? Ok now that I have your attention I have something to tell you.  Come close so I can tell you in your ear.  A little closer.  IT’S TIME.  It’s time to start pushing apps like never before.  It’s time to step up your game like never before. [...]
