How to advertise a Phone – demonstrated by Motorola!
Feb 8th
I know this is going to cause Troubles, cause my Girlfriend is not exactly the biggest Fan of this Ad – she doesn’t like Motorola, and she does not like Megan Fox 
Anyways, i just can’t let this Day end without blogging about this – Motorola’s Devour Commercial from yesterday’s Superbowl. What’s so cool about this? Not only is it really funny, it also features the incredibly HOT Megan Fox.
In a hot tub.
Using an Android Phone.
If you go by Verizon’s recent “Droid is for Men, Pre is for Women”-Video, the Devour is the next Men Phone. Line of the Day came from Phonearena, who said it’s too bad that the Phone doesn’t come bundled with Fox! lol. well, for your viewing pleasure, here comes the Commercial, enjoy:
Phoneage, powered from Hell!
Feb 6th
In Case you don’t know the Phoneage Video Series, you must be living under a Rock the past few Months. Friend of the Site, Jon, from the highly recommendable Tehkseven Site/Blog/Forum has been running those Videos for quite some Time now, and i must say, they’re my favourite News Videos out there. All the latest Happenings of the Week plus Jon’s Humor are making my Monday, Wednesday and Friday a lot of Fun 
Recently, Jon has had some health Problems, and as you could see in his Apologies-Videos, he certainly had a hard Time. Good News is, he is back on Track and everything’s running like before. In the Meanwhile, yours truly and little Marie-Sophie on the Picture left, had prepared something very nice for Jon, and well, i’m proud we were mentioned in the Video. iPad, Nexus One, Hitler and Marie-Sophie, what a Mix!! lol The Pictures were fun doing, cause little Marie desperately tried to destroy the Paper. We were lucky to snap at least some Pictures – check out the Video below and of course, let Jon know what you think
Nokia N97 and Nokia N82 video face-off
Feb 5th
I received my Sennheiser CX300-IIs today, so I thought why not record using both phones. They’re now breaking-in thanks to the N97 (and Pink Noise)
First HD Videos recorded with the Sony Ericsson Vivaz!
Feb 3rd
Last Week i reported about the brand new announced Sony Ericsson Vivaz. The S60 powered full-touch smartphone sports a 8 Megapixel Camera for still shots and, what is most important, it is one of the first mobile phones to promise 720p HD video recording. I wrote earlier that i’m quite skeptic about such promises in a mobile phone and i stay until i get my hands on one. Anyways, some new Videos have surfaced, shot with the Vivaz and tbh, it looks quite good. surely no camcorder optics, but pretty acceptable for HD videos in a mobile phone. We’ll see how this will turn out to be in terms of focus and quick movements – until then, enjoy the few bits and judge yourself? Could you see yourself using one?

Hit of the Week 4 – An open letter to Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo
Feb 1st
Hello and WELCOME to a brand new Column here on my Thoughts from Hell – The Hit of the Week! The Hit of the Week will (for now) be published once a Week, in order to highlight a cool Bit that has happened during the past week. Depending on what’s happening over the Week, i may post it twice a week too, we’ll see. So what’s going to be the Hit of the Week? A good blog post, a nice video, an epic review – no matter if it’s funny, informative, or just stupid enough to laugh about it, it’ll all be here. If you think you have something that’s worth a Mention, leave a Comment, or a DM on Twitter/Facebook and i’ll have a look!
The very first Hit of the Week, has definitely been the open letter to Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, entitled “The 10 things you need to do today to be a contender in the high-end smartphone market again”. The Guys over at the Prodigal Guide have set up 10 Bullet Points, which in my Opinion are the Key to bring Nokia back on top of the food chain again. (regardless of what the numbers are saying) If you have followed me for the last couple of months, you’ll know that i’m quite disappointed with the way things happen at Nokia. This open Letter is spot-on, honest to the Bone and every Point hits the Nail on the Head!
I definitely recommend everyone to grab of Coffee, jump over to the Prodigal Guide and join the Discussion!
Kohjinsha Dual-Screen Netbook – can i have a Booklet 3G like this? Live Pics!
Jan 30th
Some Time ago i read an Article on Engadget, about the Kohjinsha’s dual-screen DZ Series laptops. The Form Factor with a slide-out Dual Screen is pretty unique, but something i fell in love with immediately. Having a bigger Screen by just sliding out is something i can imagine using in real Life as well.
Today i talked to my Friend Bigley Ling (aka mazor) on MSN, a photograph expert whom i met on Symbian Freak. We haven’t talked for quite some time, so we had a lot of things to catch up. Then all of a sudden, Bigley mentions that he has this exact Laptop with the Dual Screens – and he agreed to send some Pictures over.
By the Way, Specs on this one:
Quick: The Booklet misses a Camera App
Jan 30th
Playing around with the Booklet all Day, and a Question from my Friend Glenn Letham (Co-Founder of GISUser.com, Symbianone.com and more) popped up on Twitter: “@xMichaelSFx how do you use or activate the camera on the booklet3g… Can’t locate it anyplace… WTF?”
The Webcam on my Acer Laptop has a separated App, to snap quick Pictures or record short Video bits. If quality doesn’t matter, its just perfect for those small Things. Same as Glenn, i tried to find a Setting, App or something to access the Camera, but i failed. Even a look at the Booklet 3G Support Site didn’t help ..
… have you found a Way!?
First Impressions of the Booklet 3G – by Mona and Michael
Jan 28th
Well well, i thought i’d never lay my hands on a booklet 3G. it’s something i don’t see using myself too often. It’s simple: I use my Phones (currently N82 and/or HTC Hero) for Mails/Tweets etc on the Road, while at Home i’m using my Acer Aspire 6930ZG, a 16″ Laptop with lots of power. I’ve already been reading some first Hands-on reviews, which were a mixed bag of nuts and so was i when i received the trial invitation by my good friends of WOM World Nokia! I wasn’t sure if i’m the right person to review a Netbook, since i’m not really a PC Expert, but what the heck, i love new challenges, so why not trial something different!?
It took a few Days to get this Thing started, cause unfortunately WOM World has sent the Device with the standard UK charging plug, which does not work here in Austria. Well, mistakes make us human i think, things like this happen. Cool Thing here is, that Nokia Austria has helped me out with a “Trial Euro Charging Plug” (Conclusion: it works! lol). i got the new plug on friday, which was the day when my lovely girlfriend Mona came over to stay here for the weekend…
Vivaz Video: Catch the Action as it happens – in HD!
Jan 26th
Brand new Video from Sony Ericsson, showing the new Vivaz in all its Glory! I still stay skeptic about 720p video recording on a phone, but i already told SE to put me on the waiting list for a trial device, so i can give this a try and who knows, maybe they prove me wrong! The Sony Ericsson Vivaz is a brand new touchscreen phone, running on S60 5th Edition, with an even further tweaked OS than the Satio has been, equipped with a 8MP camera and 720p video recording!
“Here is a video of Vivaz that shows the video capturing and sharing functionality. Besides the ability of shooting in HD video quality, Vivaz has a simple-but-clever dedicated video key on the side of the phone allowing you to capture the action as it happens. You can share the video immediately in different ways: from the camera UI, from the video/photo panel or from the media player. I personally recommend sharing the HD videos over WiFi as this is very convenient and the resolution of HD videos can make some video files grow quite big.
If you don’t have an already set-up YouTube account today, you can do this from the phone during your first upload session.

Booklet 3G Mania!?
Jan 25th
Just received a very funny Mail from my Friends of WOM World Nokia, who apparently took a Minute off from Work and played a fun game of “Guess Who”. How? Well, read the Title of my Post!
Now here’s a Question for you: What would YOU do with 40(!) Nokia Booklet 3G’s?
Guess what I would do: Loading pictures of beaches and sunshine on all of them and forget the horribly cold Weather and Snow on the Outside for just a bit!
