Experiments and why my E71 rocks

5 04 2009

Currently loving my desktop. Was experimenting some nice little apps to customize my desktop. It looks very plain but it’s very functional although hiding the taskbar may be annoying at times. Luckily there’s Launchy! haha

Having owned the Nokia e71 for 2 months, I am very much in love with it haha. Of course, the iPhone may excel in many areas but this e71 is not a phone to laugh at. The e71 is slimmer than the iPhone, more solid built and construction. The iPhone has a touch screen but i’ll always stick to my keyboard, so much more control when typing stuff.

Multimedia is one of the lacking features in e71 but it’s not one of my main priorities. A better phone and functionality(especially Multi-tasking! which is not on the iPhone unless its Pwned) is more important for me. And boy Apple, it took you till iPhone OS3.0 to get copy and paste into the phone?? I’m pretty sure Windows 3.1 had it too. Of course, the Mac OS on the iPhone is so much easier to use, especially with the superior web browsing experience. Connectivity wise, the e71 beats the iPhone flat out. Bluetooth is just weak on the iPhone and you can’t pair with devices at your will. With JoikuSpot, I can turn my e71 into a wireless gateway, how convenient. e71 has Voip built in with SIP support. No fuss on what software to install compared to the iPhone. Now I always use internet to make free calls back home on my phone.

Oh, before I forget, I can always have a spare battery in case my Phone dies. Can you do that with your iPhone? Oops, can’t do. Let your girlfriend play with your iPhone for a few hours and you might not be able to search for nice places to dine or make a phone call. Inconvenient… Apple still has lots to fix in that department.

hoh, i use voipcheap to call home. first need to make an account on the computer, download the software and then with the username details you can enter into your phone.

this link might prove useful in setting up the voip, for n95 but same for all s60 3rd edition imo. Well, you have to call landlines but thats what i usually do anyways! oh, 300 minutes a week if i’m not wrong. Tip: make a second account? Cheers.
