If you haven’t already noticed I’m off on vacation soon and were we are going there’s little GSM/3G coverage at the cottages, but it’s got wi-fi. So I’ve put Truphone back onto my N95 and I made a call this evening to test it out and the call quality as improved since the last time [...]

I blogged a few days about installing Fring on my N800, well I did and it doesn’t work. I removed it and re-installed it and nadda, so using a rather common web meme ‘Fail’

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 [...]

This is a bit tricky as I work for Orange, but I was checking out 3’s mobile broadband products and they look pretty neat. Why you looking at 3 you ask, well, I’ve got unlimited data on my Orange account, but there are places where it’s not great or there’s no coverage. Therefore having a [...]

I’ve been using my E61i again for business and it’s been acting up today, probably because it’s been consigned to the drawer for two weeks whilst I’ve been using the E71. I’m not a huge fan of call waiting, as I’d rather deal with the call in hand quicker and then deal with the next [...]

I haven’t mentioned it for a while, but I’ve still got an E71 from WOM world and it’s by far the best business phone out there. I use an E61i for business and the E71 knocks it for six. There are several reasons why the E71 is better, but take my word for it, it [...]

A Proporta Mobile Device Charger is now in the post on it’s way to me. I took Jonathan’s advice that it’s the best accessory ever. I did go and check out the Solar chargers but all the comments on them seem to indicate they were pretty poor, so I’ve decided to leave well alone for [...]

I’ve not had time to check this out and I don’t have a Blackberry service, but a reader contacted me about the imap idle on the E71 and E66. I reponded with the facts that imap idle works great on both the E66 and E71 and that I’d ditched my hosted exchange account as the [...]

Our vacation is fast approaching so it’s time to get the kit sorted out ready. I’m currently wiping all the CF memory cards for my Canon 400D, that’s 2 x 2GB and 1 x 4GB cards, which is plenty even shooting in RAW for me. We’ve got a wedding down in Cardiff straight after our [...]

Just had a look as I was opening iTunes, and it looks pretty rubbish really. There’s about 6 weather apps, so I’m guessing that out of the 500 apps in the app store, there aren’t that many actual unique apps.
Give it time I guess and the developers will build the apps. Me, I’m enjoying the [...]

messing about with the keys on the E71 and holding down the * key and it turns on and off bluetooth. Holding down the 0 key and the bookmarks appear as does when holding down the return key.
I haven’t read this anywhere else so I’m hoping that I’ve got a scoop!
I’ll go check what happens [...]

Dear WOM …….please can I keep this E71′ it’s just to good.

I’ve been using the E71 for a couple of days now and I don’t know what to think, but something is nagging at me, that maybe this isn’t the perfect phone I’d hoped it would be. It may be just me and how the device is used rather than the device itself being at fault. [...]
