I’m heading south to sunny Florida for vacation with the family today and will likely be blogging very lightly if at all.

I”ll probably do most of my reading on the smaller screen (which I do plenty of) though have not … Read moreSlow week ahead
I’m not going to give a full critique on this one, but I have to say I think it’s pretty weak. I’m not sure if they had a cooler than you Creative Team working on this or perhaps it’s a European flavor I’m just not used to seeing. The sad thing is that WITHOUT ACTUALLY … Read moreJoost’s commercial

Some disappointing news coming from CTIA this morning …. Nokia isn’t building a special US version of this phone – they’ll just be selling the European version direct and unlocked through NokiaUSA.com and at their own stores. That means the N95 will work on T-Mobile and Cingular’s EDGE networks, but won’t be able to access … Read moreNokia N95 Coming to US as the Euro version…

WordPress updated to 2.1.2. Kind of a pain and scary to delete everything, but it’s all back online now and hopefully something I don’t have to do for a long time.
Standby for some turbulence. I think I’ve followed the directions and backed it all up enough … deep breath

I recently discovered this by accident and when I mentioned it passing last night it’s clearly one of many things about the S60 that takes some exploring to learn.
