N97mini tour on the way

July 7th, 2010

Two days ago I got my N97Mini while being on the N97mini Tour throughout Canada with Tom, Michael, John, April and of course, Chris!, Lots of fun in the RV, lots of talks about mobile and tech, I love it, its awesome, thnX Nokia !!.

A cool thing, the N97mini(what Rogers, here in Canada) will provide, comes with the car kit, Nokia HH-20 and RC-116:

Just to start my thoughts after one day of full use of the N97mini.

Some of the things I do like about it(N97mini):

  • The keyboard is really nice and easy to get use to.
  • Its much more snappy and fast than what I thought It might be (which is good).
  • Lots of fun&free stuff for it on the Ovi store.
  • Amazing GPS navigation software, this is the 1st time I see the new Maps application with free navigation, I’m impressed !!!.

Some things I do not like about the phones for now are:

  • When editing the folders and dragging an icon into a folder, it jumps into that folder, I wanted it to keep being in the parent folder since this is the one I’m editing :/ .
  • This phone gets warm, and I mean it, while charging its extremely hot.. not sure how bad/okay this thing is but its weird.

Here are some images from theN97mini tour :) , taken of course with the N97mini:

And of course, some fun stuff on this tour.. Woohoo…

More later…. bye for now.

Symbian-Guru.com Is “Game Over” :(

July 2nd, 2010

Yesterday we lost another soldier of Nokia to Goggle’s Android, Ricky Cadden.
Ricky of Symbian-Guru.com decided to stop blogging and supporting Nokia, This is very sad since he was a great deal of sources and info about Nokia.

I agree with most of the things Ricky writes on hes “fare well” post to Symbian-Guru.com, Nokia is in big trouble in north America and has almost zero market share here (I’m in Vancouver, Canada) and almost zero effort is being put to change that, web services are also kind of a bad things since not much works there (Talking about Ovi, except Ovi files, which I use a lot and I’m sure doesn’t work for someone somewhere else) .

I do hope that the  real fight that starts now will change things.

One thing I do not agree at all with Ricky is about the hardware, Nokia is one of the best hardware manufactures in the world. Hardware was never Nokia’s problem, the problem Nokia always had is software, if its web services or cellphone OSs.
Today (and in the next year) with Symbian ^3/4 and Meego, I do hope it will get better :) , me being a proud owner of a Maemo 5 powered device (N900) I can see its going in the right direction.
Nokia, I still love you :-)

Goodbye Ricky, it was a pleasure reading your Symbian blog and good luck in your regular tech blog.
