I’ve been trying out the Spinvox voicemail service for a couple of weeks now and I think it’s pretty cool. The way it’s supposed to work is you receive an SMS text and/or email transcribed from a voicemail. It’s not necessary, 100% accurate, nor safe from spam, but it’s really handy.

Over at HOFO, Pink Jazz posed the question: What would be your own ideal S60 phone?

I had the pleasure of chatting Todd Ogasawara about all things Nokia and S60 on MobileViews podcast 20 last week. Todd asked me to join him for a conversation and we ran through some of my Nokia history, thoughts on current devices, thoughts on future devices, and what Nokia can do to have an impact in the US

I will be heading out to catch my flight to CTIA in Vegas in a few hours and ran across this story on the Nokia Conversations site that discusses the release of the new Nokia Photo Browser on the Nokia Beta Labs site. I have been using PhotoFlow for checking out photos on my Nokia 5800 and just downloaded and installed this new photo utility to try out. As I understand from the Beta Labs site the Nokia Photo Browser supports the 5800 and N97 S60 5th Edition with: Strokes, drags, and taps should work as you’d expect In the single image view: Long press to start the magnifier Double-tap will start the regular zoom Double-tap on a face will start the face browsing In the face browsing mode, a stroke will travel between faces There is a version for S60 3rd Edition under development too.

Mobileways released Gravity on Monday and I’ve been using it on the Nokia 5800. One of the most common questions I find on Twitter from people who mention Nokia, is what app to use for Twitter? Look no further because here it is.

OK we can now move the Nokia E71x device out of the rumor mill category and put it into the confirmed device category. According to Sascha Segan AT&T announced 6 new devices coming to their network soon, including the E71x. The E71x will have 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS capabilities so it doesn’t look like AT&T took out anything.

I had a very nice dinner with several bloggers and the folks at Nokia last night and had the chance to spend some time with the Nokia E71x. I also saw the N97, but didn’t get much hands-on time yet, although I will this week. Here are some quick thoughts and answers to questions on the E71x coming to AT&T: The real name is E71x and that is stamped in the upper right above the display.

After seeing the E55 and E75 announced at Mobile World Congress in February, I thought I would buy at least one of these two devices. If you have had an Eseries device you know that the construction is fantastic and the prices for the devices are also very reasonable, especially when they are available in a SIM unlocked configuration in most cases. I looked for both of these devices at CTIA and was pretty surprised that I could not find the E55 anywhere with one person at the booth actually telling me the device was cancelled

A cool pre-installed app on the Nokia 5800 and many of Nokia’s current phones is Share Online.
