The Nokia E72 preview

The "secured" release of the Nokia E72. Click the image for a closer look

The Nokia E72 is being released to selected bloggers around the world. This is what we got in the mail and are we excited or what!? It seems that even the customs officers couldn't resist the temptation to play with the Nokia E72 that they smashed their way into the box so the "lock" on the box was rendered unnecessary.

Review will be coming shortly...

Google Search By Voice in Times Square

Google's search-by-voice feature will be demonstated in New York's Times Square tomorrow (Friday) as part of the promotion for the Google Droid. As we mentioned in an earlier post, this new feature even allows your Nokia E63 to search google just by holding down a button and saying out your search. The phone will then use voice recognition to conduct a google search in a much shorter time than it normally takes to do it via texting.

They've also set up a webcam for this event here so check it out. At the very least, it is a great example of an excellent marketing campaign. Read more about it here and remember, Nokia does too. :)

FM Transmitters with your E63

I've recently found it quite useful to use an FM transmitter for the car. Plug the headphones cable into the Nokia E63 and you can play your favourite music on your E63 and have the whole car bouncing to the tunes. If you are into listening to audio books or messages on your phone, this is also another way to use your mobile phone as a MP3 player. The advantage is not needing to a separate player to your mobile phone. So, is this a new idea to you or have  you been doing this already?

Nokia OVI Suite sending two messages instead of one?

Having installed OVI on my computer, now I have both PC Suite and OVI running at the same time to see where each of the two programs are stronger in different respects. I have encountered a problem which I was hoping my loyal readers who have benefitted much from this blog, may be able to shed some light on. When I send an SMS through Ovi Messaging, I end up with two messages being sent rather than one. Does anyone have any idea why or how to fix it? 

What else have you found with running Nokia's new "replacement" for PC Suite? Does Ovi have you sold?
