Working on a technology account can have its perks. Yesterday, we got three boxes full of Nokia E62s. I've been fiddling with mine for six hours and have only seen about a tenth of what this thing has to offer.
I'm excited to be e-mailable at any point in time. I can bring this with me on my flight tonight instead of a laptop. This makes going through security easier, turning it off and on during takeoff and landing easier, and now I don't have to worry about having a WiFi connection when coworkers or clients need a quick response. I am probably one of the last people in this industry to have an e-mail device, but oh well. I'm extremely excited. I named him Zero Cool, after the main character in the 1995 movie Hackers (which I own on VHS of course, to keep with the theme of the state of technology at the time).
What many don't realize is that on the E62, you get full Internet (I have the BlackBerry unlimited plan /chip /card /thingie). Not the crap mobile Internet that comes on most phones. full.internet. I can read my RSS feeds ANYWHERE now (well, not on the subway...). hooray! Thank you, Nokia.
how's the Mac compatibility?
ReplyDeleteI hate my treo from cingular, the web experience is just plain bad. How's the sound quality of your new phone?
ReplyDeleteWow, cool gadget. I am not a big fan of Nokia but it looks smart and sophisicated.
ReplyDeleteSo how much more info-overloaded do you feel now? ;)
ReplyDeleteThis device is great!
ReplyDeleteooo is nokia your account or cingular?! i work with cingular, too!
ReplyDeleteEnvy!
ReplyDeleteI'm seriously considering one of these for my own purposes...
Now you can blog from anywhere, too!
anonymous 1 - I haven't even had to use my iBook with it at all!
ReplyDeleteMichael - I actually didn't sign up for a phone plan; just the unlimited email and Internet. I have a Verizon account for my separate mobile phone. I can ask a coworker though.
Oakie - Whta about Nokia don't you relaly like? I'm curious.
Jack - geez. I already was screaming the next day at it beeping so much! It feels so good to be able to immediately respond to people, though :) (and get blog comments!)
Emilie - Nokia! We just had a 6 hour client meeting with them and they are such awesome and cool people.
Clay - eeeeeeeeeeee I knooooow. I'm so so excited about blogging wherever I am.
:D
I got a Treo about 2 months ago, and i'm just now accepting the fact that the phone is a little too smart.
ReplyDeleteWow. Wonderful. I want I want I want.
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding me? Is this really your strategy:
"What many don't realize is that on the E62, you get full Internet (I have the BlackBerry unlimited plan /chip /card /thingie). Not the crap mobile Internet that comes on most phones."
What many don't realize is ______!
Sir David, this is a personal blog. I don't try to sell anything on here. I merely express my excitement over brands that amaze me (in this case, at least).

ReplyDeleteFair enough. Can't say I'm much different. Sorry for any confusion. If it's any consideration, you're on the sidebar for envious (obvious) reasons.
How did you know it's my dream to one day be knighted? Oh...right...
No way! How funny, you work with the phone people and i work with the carrier people! I have my Cingular phone and use my sidekick for email and data.. Is the email/data plan for Cingular reasonably priced? I wanted to get an email/data enabled phone for Cingular but the data plans were $$$ compared to the sidekick's 30 bucks a month!
ReplyDeleteE - it seems to be more expensive than the Sidekick. I got the BlackBerry unlimited e-mail /Internet chip plan thing, and it was $44.95 per month or something in that range. I don't use it as a phone, so that's all I am paying for.
ReplyDeleteOooh, that looks spiffy and I've always liked Nokia's products.
ReplyDeleteIf only Verizon would get something like that.
I'm going to add you to my blogroll though I've got links to mainly fashion blogs there!
But hey, us tech gals love fashion too!

ReplyDeleteHey, you're pretty hip, geek girl! Did your phone get installed with the "poseur" "chip/card/thingie"?
Whoops, gotta go, work is paging because the thingamajig is down. I might have to put the whole whatsitsface through the thingamabob procedure again. Don't worry, it'll be fun, I always do my late night "hacking" in leather pants and sunglasses.
Hey, does my bluetooth headset match those pants? Dammit! And I thought these things were just tools to get work done. Now I can't be in the fake tech nerd club!
-A real "techie", whose mind is boggled at your inanity.
P.S. I've named your website "the Saab guy", after the character from the movie "Crazy People". Since that must be what the real ad industry is like.
Hackers. Hokay, champ. You keep goin' with that.
