The SEMC Blog has just brought up a brand new Sony Ericsson Device, actually an Alternative to the Sony Ericsson Vivaz i recently blogged about – The Vivaz Pro! Cool Thing about it? Slide-out full QWERTY keyboard, baby!! The Keyboard looks really nice, good spacing, 4 rows .. i’m pumped to see more of this!

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)
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?
all Videos found on Mobiflip.de!
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…
Jan 25
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!
Hello,
My name is Afzal Najam, also known as eViLrAcEr and AfzalivE at Symbian-Freak. Mostly known for compiling the UltraPyModulePack.
I was contacted by Nokia WOM World on January 13th asking me which device I would like to trial and then they told me that they have an N97 available at the moment. It was my first opportunity to do something like this so I gladly accepted it.
Excited to death because I never used a touchscreen phone before! (well, except trying out iPhone…which failed to impress me)
So here I am 10 days later with a Nokia N97 in my hands for 2 weeks and since I am in Canada right now…it will be my utter delight to tell these phone-deprived people the real potential of Symbian smartphones…they’ve been living off berries for too long
Here’s the unboxing video (my first one) recorded with my still-awesome N82
We are roughly an Hour away from the Start of the big OVI Event, thats going to take place in different Parts of the World! Some lucky Bloggers are invited to the Events in person, while i’ll follow the whole thing virtually. So far it seems like that as of today, OVI Maps will be free for on-device navigation, similar to Google Maps – thanks CJ for that News! But, as Ricky Cadden over at Symbian-Guru reports: “Unfortunately, as is usual with Nokia’s Ovi announcements, it’s only halfway there – the free premium features are currently only available for 10 of Nokia’s GPS-equipped devices: the Nokia N97 Mini, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia E52, Nokia E55, Nokia E72, Nokia 5230, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 6730 classic and Nokia X6.” Bummer.
Anyways, i just can’t imagine that all the Fuzz is just for this Announcement, so i’m hoping for more in the course of the short Event. i’ll cover this thing on twitter with the hashtag “hellatovi”, you can check the Live feed right below after the Break of this Post – hopefully for some good News! 
You remember all those cool iPhone Ads, and most recently, the Droid Commercials and the totally hilarious Nexus One Videos – made me wonder where the Hell Nokia has been? Well, they’re back now with a bang and produced a VERY nice Video for the wonderful World of the OVI Store. Nowadays you just HAVE to have a cool Appearance, which keeps the Consumer watching. Above mentioned Videos did exactly that, and i’m now hoping Nokia catches up finally and turn Heads again! So without further ado, here’s the wonderful World of the OVI Store – i like this Video/Advertisement/Wake-up Call!
..and it seems like something very cool takes Place tomorrow, Thursday, Jan. 21st. I do not know yet, what this is all about yet, but i don’t expect any new Devices presented. Since the whole Event is held under the OVI-Banner, i’m hoping there’s a) a major revamp of the OVI site. Share on OVI f.e. was my prefered Picture sharing source, but after a big site update, they messed everything up, so i eventually switched to Flickr. or b) there could be new Services as well. Again, i don’t know yet, what we’re about to see, so i’m excited about that. I’m trying to take off tomorrow from Work and cover the whole Event as it happens, so check back again tomorrow. When? look below 
One of the most discussed Questions going around the Nokia Blogosphere Scene (besides of “Is the N900 worth the Money?”) is the ongoing Question of: Which is better – Nokia N82, with it’s 5 MP Carl Zeiss Banger and Xenon Goodness, or the newer Nokia N86 8MP, equipped with a 8 Megapixel Carl Zeiss Camera and 3rd Gen. Dual LED Flash? Well, since i didn’t use the N86 8MP yet, i can’t give a proper Judgement about that, but my Friend CJ, over on Zomg its CJ can! He posted a HUGE, very well done Comparison Review, with Lots of different Pictures in different Environment. As CJ stated in his Post: Because seriously, if this doesnt help you make a decision between the two, we dont know what will.
The Result? Oh nooo, i won’t spoil this one! Grab a cup of coffee, take a bit of time, judge for yourself and let CJ know what you think! Was he right in his Conclusion!? What do you think is the better one? N82 or N86 8MP? Dual Led or Xenon!?
