If the E52 doesnt take your fancy and the full qwerty keyboard of the E72 is too much for you, then maybe the half way house that is the Nokia E55 has come to your rescue with a 2-letters to a key solution known as SureType.
The Nokia E55 is Nokia’s first half QWERTY keyboard phone; it’s also one of its slimmest. This E-Series Symbian device features include a QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera, A-GPS, HSDPA/ HSUPA, WLAN, UPnP, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, 3.5mm audio jack, microsd card, noise cancellation and the latest 600mhz cpu. The software includes the full range of Ovi services from Nokia Maps, to Files on Ovi and N-Gage.
If you’ve got a hectic lifestyle your going to need a phone that can keep up, businesses and road warriors could do worse than take a close look at the recently released Nokia E52. A phone that takes the notion of staying in contact and up to date very seriously indeed.
Underneath those chiselled looks beats the heart of a mobile power house, the specs make impressive reading. Features include QVGA display, 3.2-megapixel camera, A-GPS, HSDPA/ HSUPA, WLAN, UPNP, DLNA, Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, 3.5mm audio jack, microsd card, noise cancellation and the latest 600mhz cpu.
Previously we have published review of Sirius XM app for iPhone. However you cannot find Howard Stern in that app. You can find him however in this app:
Remeber the Palm Pre? Remeber how it likes to fall apart? Not anymore, PreThinking has an excellent article following the self destrusctive nature of the first genertion Palm Pre. Some of those poor soles who spent money that saved the company merely ended up with a fragile plastic device lead to no end of headaches. Have a look at the guided tour of Palm Pre horrors and the phone works its way to perfection, again (If your Mobile phone under 18 months you should maybe place it in another room as some of the imagery can be disturbing.)
If you’re an early Pre adapter like myself that nabbed one of the first batches of Palm Pres, then chances are you experienced it firsthand or have heard of some of the build quality issues surrounding the first shipments of Palm Pres. Although the particular Pre I got was one of the solid ones. Palm acted swiftly from the reports, and looks like Pres manufactured in July and up, fixes some of the issues.
Microsoft is expected on Wednesday to announce a partnership with European mobile giant Nokia to help get its Office software onto that company’s mobile phones, CNET News has learned.
With the next version of Office, Microsoft is trying to expand its desktop hold on the productivity market into one that spans the PC, Web, and phone, and this deal is seen as a significant move in that last category.
The ability to natively view and edit Microsoft Office documents on smartphones is often limited to Windows Mobile devices only. For other platforms to be able to do this requires third party software like Documents to Go from DataViz.
You might have noticed, I certainly didn’t, that the site has been moved to another server. From here on it we should be a little speedier as the oscillating hooslebinder has been recalibrated. Hopefully no one missed out on their full of mobile tech news.
Nokia recently announced their latest entrant into the touchscreen smartphone market, the Nokia 5530. The standout feature here is the cost, for around £170 unlocked, even less on PAYG, you too can join the swishy transition party and play the phone envy game on the train.

In the days of ATMs, debit cards and cashless transactions using checks always seemed so outdated to me. With almost all banking institutions offering online billpay, I haven’t written a check in literally years. I do almost all of my banking using my banks excellent website and mobile applications, but the one thing I can’t get away from is having to stop by the bank to deposit my paycheck (my employer refuses to use direct deposit). Now a Texas bank that was created to cater to military members and their families is the first in the country to allow qualified customers to deposit checks via an iPhone application. Using the iPhone’s camera, a user takes a picture of the check and sends it to the bank where it is deposited automatically. The Check can then be voided or filed away for future reference. The bank never physically handles the check at all. This is a major step into the future of mobile banking, I think all major banks will have this capability soon, and at that point the only time you will ever have to enter a bank is to open or close an account. Say good bye to long lines at the bank, and maybe even to bank branches entirely.
