If you got one of this phones, check Nokia Software Update as there is a new firmware for the phone. Biggest change is kinetic scrolling on the menu (there was already in other areas of the phone). Personally I find the phone more responsive as well.

Another month starts… with a nice long weekend. It will be really good to get 4 days worth of rest. This feels much netter than a standard weekend

Have fun…

Ubuntu only

Today was the day I finally removed windows from the laptop. From now, only ubuntu is installed on it. So far so good, I can still do all the things I did on windows, without having to spend 10GB only for the OS.

For the games there’s a little thing called consoles, so no problem there

Nokia N97

Nokia as released the news that the new flagship phone is due to make is appearance.

Dubbed Nokia N97, at first sight might have some resemblances with the Apple’s iPhone.

It has a full qwerty keyboard, folding style like the HTC TyTN or Diamond, a 3.5′ touch display (seems every phone nowadays has one of these), widescreen screen and a maximum of 48GB of memory (32GB onboard plus 16GB with a microSD).

WLan, HSDPA and a 5-Megapixel Carl Zeiss camera also belong to the pack. Nokia targets the shipping date as the first quarter of 2008 (so it may be the 31st of March) with a price tag of 550€, before taxes or subsidies.

In my opinion, it seems to be a great phone, different of the actual N series, that for me are almost all the same in appearance.

HTC TyTN

This is my new phone. Is been on the market for quite some time, but because there was an accident with my previous phone, I had it replaced by this one.

It was updated to a custom Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom, and is factory unlocked, so it works fine with Three at UK.

Is fast and reliable so far, although I usually have to reset it twice a day at least.

In a few days I’ll try to make a review about this phone.

Today I stumble upon this website.

Is a really nice one, where you have a lot of free music available to download.

Basically if you are an artist you can upload your music and hope people will like it.

As a listener, you can rate and review the albums, download them or just listen to them online.

If you really enjoy the artist, you can also give donations to them.

There are some great musics there, so when you have the time go check it out. Is worth the time spent.
