It’s here, the last of the Mohicans has arrived. A relic or collector’s item right out of the box, the E72 is probably the last Symbian S60v3 FP2 phone that will ever be built by Nokia.
With the recent dismantling of S60.com, N-Gage.com, Widsets.com and other websites, plus the lacklustre performance of the E75, one’s gotta [...]

At home (Downtown Vancouver), I subscribe to Novus Entertainment’s basic cable service which in my mind, is a mixed bag. Customer service and technical support is a bit of a drag and they’re a bit more expensive than SHAW (especially given SHAW’s latest promotions) but their Internet speeds are unsurpassed – better than Telus and [...]

It’s no secret – twitter has taken the world by storm – major brands have embraced twitter as an opportunity to promote their wares one 140 character ‘tweet’ at a time. Being somewhat of a tech guru, it’s interesting to see that sometimes twitter isn’t the most elegant tool and, with a little work from [...]

Want free business advice? Listen to your customers! – or at least that’s what Richard Branson says.
Wish Nokia had done the same in the release of their most recent E-Series flagship, after all, isn’t the E-Series set of phones supposed to be made for efficiency? They did drop the ‘enterprise’ label for ‘efficiency’ recently but [...]

Man! What a conundrum! The other day I powered down my laptop (Windows 7 installed) in frustration and boom, upon rebooting, the poor thing decided that it needed to run chkdsk to fix parts of the hard drive.
Well, I guess the worst part is that a recent software package (in this case, likely a Windows [...]

You got it first… the latest Nokia E71-2 or the NAM E71 smartphone when it first hit the market. You love your phone, you live and die by it’s features. So when you hear that some people out there got a firmware update from Nokia but you didn’t, you feel like you got the shaft.
Fret [...]

Apparently someone at Nokia had the brilliance to decide that the partnership between Blackberry and Nokia was not worthwhile.
According to Mobile Industry Review, Nokia’s UK MD, Simon Ainslie, said:
RIM are a competitor and have done a reasonable job in a space that is traditionally ours, so it’s no great surprise that we see this as [...]

When the Nokia E71 Smartphone came out, I had to have it. I’ve been a fan of the E-Series and the Nokia S60 devices since I got my hands on an E61, courtesy Papa Guj from a2zwireless.com. The phones are an absolute dream to use and allow me to run my business remote. At the [...]

A few months ago, my company installed Fedora Linux on Microsoft Virtual Server (similar to Microsoft Virtual PC and VMWare) to handle some front-end caching for a couple of our busy websites. Fedora happens to be one of the Operating Systems that is compatible with Microsoft Virtual Server otherwise I would likely have opted for [...]

I recently upgraded to Firefox 3 – what a mess! All of a sudden some of my trusty extensions stopped working. One of them, Universal Print, the tool I use to print all my tabs out (sometimes there’s 50 and they all have to go to PDF for processing by the staff) broke.
