February 26th, 2010 I’ve updated my top S60 applications from its previous incarnation. Walking Hotspot – Turns your phone into a wireless router and share your HSDPA signal (if you get one). I found it easier to use than Joikuspot Opera Mobile – A niftier mobile browser than even Opera Mobile. It is standalone so it requires more [...]
July 29th, 2009 I’ve been coming up against the office internet filter quite frequently and I’ve decided to just use my Asus EEE PC 900HA and my Nokia E51 to browse the net. Since the E51 has no Bluetooth, I had to rely on software that allows the phone to share it’s HSDPA connection by becoming a WiFi [...]
April 3rd, 2009 This morning, my phone’s battery ran out so, on the way to work, I charged it with my car charger. As soon as it accumulated a sufficient charge, I turned it on and continued merrily on my way. Then when I reached the parking lot, I noticed that fring was on! I checked the data [...]
March 19th, 2009 Aside from the enhanced calculator, I’ve installed a few really cool apps on my Nokia E51 that some might find useful: Joikuspot Light – Turns your phone into a wireless router and share your HSDPA signal (if you get one). It’s free but supports only browsing (HTTP and HTTPS). The full version version offers more [...]
March 15th, 2009 One of the irritating things about my new Nokia E51 is that the calculator is so damn crude! The calculator from my recently-departed 5310 is so much better. And to think it’s an S40 not-so-smartphone. Thankfully, Nokia is aware of the issues and has actually been working on a replacement calculator. It’s still in beta [...]
March 13th, 2009 My Nokia 5310 XpressMusic bit the dust after a horizontal fall. I went back to my trusty old Sony Ericsson K700i while searching for the perfect replacement phone. The perfect replacement phone has to be small, slim, and most importantly black. My first choice, the Nokia 8800 Sirocco Edition fits the bill and is the [...]
May 22nd, 2008 Black is back. I’ve been eyeing the Nokia 5310 for quite some time already. My primary reason being it’s one of the, if not the smallest, slimmest, lightest phones out there. The personal multimedia player features clinched the deal. However, what held me back was the availability of only red and blue accented models. I [...]
October 21st, 2005 My Nokia 6100 is now definitely dead. The repair guy said the board has been cracked. No surviving that I guess. It was pretty saddening. The Nokia 6100 is really neat no-frills phone in a small package. Worse is I wasn’t ready to buy a new phone yet. So I put off buying a new [...]
October 9th, 2005 What is it with my stuff? They seem to be all dying! Yesterday, my Nokia 6100 gave up the ghost. It just powered down on its own. Powering it up is a hit-or-miss affair. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. But when it does, it powers down again after a few minutes. Now I wouldn’t [...]
