My new Nokia E71

Last week my third Nokia phone in about 10 years began to fail. It is useable, but there were problems with the speaker and it was showing signs of aging. I decide to buy a new phone. As I shopped around, I was drawn to the new Nokia E71. I liked it, and it took about 3 minutes to buy one at BestBuy.

Reading the reviews, only encouraged me that my decision in buying this phone was right and it is perfectly suited to my needs.

My needs are mostly business (phone, text message, internet, and email) with a little bit of media added to it. Below is a thumbnail of a picture taken of a Garfield toy in my car.


The pictures are okay for my use. I like the Wireless LAN and GPS features on this phone too.

I guess I will be filling up this blog with more to come from this phone.

Discovering Remember the Milk

Last weekend I worked on studying this cool web application - Remember the milk. I find this cool because it allows me to update my task list through not just the web, but also offline (using Google Gears) and SMS (through Twitter). You could read more about it here too.

Discovering Twitter

I recently discovered Twitter and decided to start using it. It is just one day and I am beginning to think this is useful.

You, my friend, have usually asked me "What are you doing?", or "How was your weekend?", etc. I would like to tell you all that I had been doing, but there is a small problem. I can scarcely recall what I was doing 30 minutes ago, let alone the weekend. Now Twitter helps both ways - it helps you know things about me, and it helps me recall my activities.

Twitter does have stuff to work on. A good place for you to know more about Twitter is at this Wikipedia page.
