The Perfect Phone

After the disaster that was my experience with the Nokia Lumia and the rather underwhelming time I had with the BlackBerry Torch, I’ve been thinking a lot about what my perfect phone would be.

I think I’ve found it…

My Photoshop skills are legendary!

Here are the things that I want – no one platform covers them …

 
The Death Of The BlackBerry

For years I was a BlackBerry fanboy. I remember snatching a departing colleague’s 6710 and lying to the IT department that I was authorised to have my email on my phone. I never looked back. Despite a brief flirtation with the Nokia N95 – I was a BlackBerry Boy through and …

 
QR Moo Cards: New Designs

I get a lot of positive comments about my Moo Cards with QR codes. As I prepare to go off to Mobile World Congress, I thought I’d add a couple of extra designs into the mix.

Feel free to use these as templates – but please remember to change the QR Code!

The Best Phone for Blogging?

This has been a really tough NaBloPoMo for me. Work has been frantic – meaning that my lunchtime blogging has been restricted to a quick bit of copy editing. I’ve also had some wonderful new toys to play with – which has distracted my attention.

But the biggest problem? My Android phone. …

 
Orange Mobile Badvertising

It has been a while since I last posted in the Mobile Badvertising section. Mobile adverts are slowly improving. By every once in a while, I spot an advert of such mind numbing ineptitude that I am compelled to post.

Android and Google Contacts - Address Incompatibility

I’m in the process of moving all my contacts from BlackBerry to Android. I’ve been moving contacts from phone to phone for close to 10 years – but I’ve never found a problem like this.

Getting my contacts from BlackBerry to Google was simple. I exported a VCF of all my contacts from …

 
Choosing a New Phone

ARRRRRGGGGHHHH!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Due to a crazy taxi driver (are there any other kind) and a violent swerve, my BlackBerry Bold 9000 is no more. Bereft of life, it rusts in pieces, and other such Pythonesque metaphors.

Arse. I truly feel like I’m missing an extension to my body. There’s a symbiotic relationship which develops …

 
Twitter For BlackBerry - Review

Blah blah Twitter…. Blah Blah BlackBerry… Blah Blah…. http://www.blackberry.com/twitter

NB1: I primarily use SocialScope on my BlackBerry. SocialScope’s terms of use prohibit me from showing screenshots of their beta. Hey, guys, I want to show everyone how great you are!

NB2: Screenshots taken on a BlackBerry 9000 running OS 5.0

Mobile Badvertising - Flickr & iPhone

Once again, I dive into the confusing world of Mobile Internet Advertising. A world, so we’re told, where the streets are paved with gold.

Based on the evidence I’ve accumulated, mobile advertising is subject to a lot of hype and not a lot of professionalism.

Take this example as seen on my BlackBerry 9000.

Seesmic Twitter Client for BlackBerry

Seesmic, a service I’ve not tried before, have released a Twitter client for the BlackBerry. Is it any good? How does it compare with the features of Dabr or the usability of UberTwitter? Find out!

Getting the client was fairly simple, but could be better. Simply visiting http://seesmic.com was enough to bring up …

 
BlackBerry Wireless Update

There now follows a quick run through of how you go about wirelessly updating your BlackBerry.  The total process took just under an hour.  This was a BlackBerry 9000 updating from 4.6.0.266 to 4.6.0.301.

What’s really annoying is that there’s no automatic propt to tell you there’s new firmware. I wonder how many people out …
