No Customer Retention, Just Customer Acquisition
After scouring the ads for 2 weeks, I’ve concluded that the 3 mobile service providers here simply concentrate on customer acquisition (ok, to be fair to Starhub, they do give their customers $50-200 vouchers depending on their plan every year, but their customer service person on the phone admitted that sometimes customers have to call [...]
Read MoreNokia N82 vs N86 – The Xenon Flash Issue
I’ve been trying to give myself a reason NOT to buy the N86 because I really only bought the N82 last year. What is important to me is capturing my kids on camera and video and having a functional (ok, pretty helps too) phone. Since I use my iPod Touch to surf these days, I [...]
Read MoreThe Glorious Nokia N86
No, it is not mine yet. But I tested it out at the Nokia shop today and it was absolutely beautiful. The slider is smooth, even for the display model, and the buttons easy to press. There was concern about the slider being too loose on one of the forums but the consensus was that [...]
Read MoreIs my Nokia N82 Toxic?
I just had to know. My hand was burning after 30 minutes of surfing and this is pretty common. So I surfed over to Nokia to check. According to a 2002 Nokia Environmental Report (PDF), a phone is made out of 20% ABS-PC and 4% PC. PC = BPA and BPA messes you up bad, [...]
Read MoreMobile Game Review: Stranded by glu
I’ve been a fan of glu since I started playing mobile games back when. Now I can’t remember what game that was nor which ones they are famous for, but I remember they make great games. Stranded, seems suspiciously reminiscent of the TV series Lost (same premise – people stranded on mysterious island) but when you [...]
Read MoreMust-Have App for the Nokia N82
One of the faults with the N82 is that it is awfully hard to see the time when it is on screensaver or power-saving mode. Unlike the e61i and the 6280, it looks almost invisible. Since I am already half-blind, the Large Clock Screensaver is a real lifesaver. It shows you the time, date, and [...]
Read MoreMoblogging on the Nokia N82
So here I am, waiting for my pasta to cook, and phone in hand, typing out a blog entry on my Nokia N82 while keeping an eye on Boy – where did that cat go! For some reason, the connection speed is lots faster than the e61i and it is far easier to hold and [...]
Read More10 Things I Love About the Nokia N82
Thursday. Thursday is the day I bought this phone. At 3.30pm to be exact. The salesman was telling me that the black version had just come in and there were only 7 remaining. I said, yeah I know. Your colleague from the other branch I came from had reserved one for me. Anyway, I couldn’t [...]
Read MoreTips for Uploading to Flickr on the Nokia N82
Yup! I got it! After all the discounts I bought the newly released black Nokia N82 at S$393. Among the wonders of the pretty much perfect phone, the function to seamlessly upload pictures to your Flickr account is no doubt one of the coolest and most useful. Unfortunately for me, I am not a frequent [...]
Read MoreReview: Nokia e61i
Here were my requirements: 1. Better camera phone than 2MP 2. Wifi 3. Ability to edit text files 4. Pass my touch test Although I had my heart (and budget) set on the e65 or the N80, after an intimate touching session with the e61i, it was love at first touch. Sure the buttons were [...]
