The courier dropped of a small package earlier this evening and my free upgrade from 3UK has turned up. It’s currently charging the 1500mAh battery contained within the smooth small white capsule.

You can see it’s smaller than both the Nokia handsets in the picture and come is the very fashionable white.

I’ve given it [...]

Nokia released new firmware for the E71 Euro, v200.21.118 last week, there’s a change log here. The new firmware makes the browser much much faster and adds a couple of new themes which are nice. It looks like a major upgrade and worth the effort of the upgrade.
But there’s still one major flaw with the [...]

You may have noticed I’ve been offline a little of late, well it’s been my Birthday so I’ve been taking it easy. One thing I have been testing (besides the E63) is Nokia’s FM Transmitter the CA-300. I already have a Belkin iPod transmitter that I use for my iPod, which I prefer over the [...]

Following on from the other E63 posts I’m going to answer the questions in one go…
First up from sarvajeet does the E63 support 8gb, the answer is yes see the photo below.

The next question I was asked was again by sarvajeet and it was related to the speaker on the E63. The speaker is [...]

I was just reading Glen’s post on his belief that the E71 is the social media users dream. I’d have to agree with him, the keyboard makes messaging and replying on social media sites such as Twitter and Jaiku a breeze. I too had one of the loaner E71’s for the NokiaOpenLabs08 event, which [...]

The general feel or speed of the device is good, it’s as snappy as the E71, there’s no lag. As any respecting S60 devices tester would do, on went handy Taskman, here’s the screen shot right after boot up.

There’s about 74M of ram left after boot and with screenshot running, 105M of the [...]

First up is the two devices placed side by side, here you can see the differences in the keyboards very clearly. The space bar is smaller on the E63 and had two extra keys along the bottom row allowing for more characters to be directly accessed via the keyboard. This has got to be [...]

I just received a nice surprise from WOM world an E63 in rather fetching red.

It’s a little thicker than the E71 first off, but feels nice to hold, a quick flick around the menus look familiar and there are some nice themes too.
So it’s real, there’s no box as yet, but looks very interesting.
Anyway, back [...]

Just like whatleydude, I too got the email from WOM World asking if I’d like to attend a brand new event for Nokia in Helsinki.
Here’s some of the email WOM sent me giving me an idea of what this brand new event involves;
It aims to involve everyone from creative’s, designers, video producers to open [...]

However,  recently Dad had a visitor who brought a laptop when they came to stay. Dad’s lucky there a open wireless nearby [...]

We’ve just come back from vacation down in Devon and this year we decide to up the distance we’d drive to a good beach to about an hour. As a result we’d start the day pretty early and head off to the beach as soon as possible which usually meant around 9.30am-ish. This meant [...]

This is a great piece of news, Fring on the tablet. I’ve used Fring on several S60 device and it’s great, it’s the one and only IM client and VoIP client you need. Now it’s available on the N800 fantastic, as soon as I get 5 mins I’ll be installing it and letting it [...]

My Proporta Mobile USB charger just turned up and in the package was an Earl Grey Tea Bag!
The device is pretty neat too, it used mini usb to charge, so I can carry just one mini usb cable around (the same one as used to connect the Phone to the PC) and I can [...]
