First Impressions of the Booklet 3G – by Mona and Michael

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…

Booklet 3G Mania!?

1

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! :D

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!

Another unboxing of the Nokia N97

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 :D

Here’s the unboxing video (my first one) recorded with my still-awesome N82

Hell in London – a recap

One Thing was VERY sure when i returned back home from London in October: i’ll be back. i wasn’t sure when and how, but i’ll definitely come over again and get some more impressions of the city i got to know at the Ovi good things trip. Since my Company closes for some days for christmas and new year, i decided to take some more days off and fly over the United Kingdom again. I was extremely happy that my good Friend Dan Carter (World of Nokia) decided to spend the 3 days with me – a few Mails back and forth with him and the Guys over at WOM World, who did the unbelievable thing and pulled of a nice little tech meet-up with some fellow bloggers from the UK! Booking, Packing and i was all set up – Hell in London, here go:

London UK better gets ready

DSC01383This could either be a great Beginning in 2010 for London, UK – or Riot and Panic in the Streets, cause i’m going to pay London another Visit. It was back in late October 2009, when i came to the UK first, as Part of the OVI Good Things Trip, which was great Fun but definitely not long enough! :) I really enjoyed my Time with the WOM World People and the Bloggers back in October, 2 great Days which i’ll never forget. The City is exactly how it’s portrayed in Movies etc., and my grandparents were not wrong, when they told me, that i’ll have a good Time. I mean, who would’ve known that we’ll spend a whole Evening in our own Boat, shipping on the River Thames, crossing the Tower Bridge a few Times, as well as Big Ben, the London Eye etc. Coming back to London again was in my Mind immediately after i landed back home in Austria, so it was just a matter of time before i’ll fly over. Winter does not have the prefered Temperatures for such a Journey, but since my Company is closed for Holidays, i figured the Time was right. So what better Way to kick off 2010, than travelling again to the city of red busses and the accent i struggle to fully understand haha.. So, whats in Store?

Since all Dates are finalized, i can finally tell what’s going on in the 3 Days i’m in London:

News from the Nokia Human Research Department!

News from the nokia human research department!I just got this surprising Package from my good Friends of WOM World Nokia, thank you guys, with a USB Stick in it – which comes directly from the Nokia Human Research Department. Nokia has apparently done some good Research before they unleashed one of it’s latest Devices to Mankind, the Nokia N97mini. And the Department has done their Job well, as the Reaction to the mini is overall very positive, from throughout the Blogosphere! The Videos also contain the Debut of a brand new Nokia Ringtone, mariachi-like, which i love! Check out the Videos AND download the Ringtone after the Break! ;)

Ovi good Things Interview Video

I thought maybe someone is interested to see the short Interview i did for Nokia? This was Part of my Trip to find the good Things with the WOM World Team and 10 selected Bloggers from all over the World in London 2 Weeks ago. The Video contains Questions about myself, where i blog, where and how i buy Phones and what i wanna see in future Nokia Devices. I would’ve had a lot more to say on the last Matter, but i guess the N86 would’ve just run out of Memory then :-D Anyways, i enjoyed the Interview and hope you do too!
