Phones galore in Vegas

My original plan in Vegas, at some point, was to find the Nokia Experience Center at the Fashion Show Mall.  It has since left, but I was pleasantly surprised by some of the other things available.
The first encounter was at the Caesar’s Palace Forum Shops.

New phone soonishly

I played with a Nokia N82 while in Vegas and loved it.  I loved it so much, I decided I wanted one.  The cool thing is that it’s about 6-8 months old now, which means it’s come down in price drastically.  It’s insane the amount of money I’m saving by buying it now.  I think [...]

I’m back! I think…

Well!
I get back from Vegas only to find out that while I was gone, a comedy of errors took place.
First, a lightening storm obliterated both the modem and the wireless router.  Then, my car’s Check Engine light came on.  Shortly thereafter, my dad’s car overheated.  Then a man who was supposed to fix the washing [...]

LK’s pennultimate iPhone rant

I saw this pop up on the WordPress Dashboard and thought it would be a great springboard for why I hate the iPhone in general.
While it’s been called a smartphone, the iPhone is, for all intents and purposes, a dumbphone for people who want to look smart by comparison.  The original iPhone didn’t support third-party [...]

Right under my nose this whole time

Remember how I was making a big deal out of the prospect of DLNA on the SE C905?
Turns out my Nokia N95 has had it this entire time and I didn’t know it.  I’m still trying to figure out how to use it, but the potential is amazing.
Score one for Nokia.

A turning point?

I just read a report that kind of pains me yet has me excited at the same time.  Apparently, Sony Ericsson isn’t doing too well.  According to a very reliable online source (a guy who gets basically every prototype unit from every company several months before release), all of SEs phones from now to at [...]

Two moments of cellular genius

These are two answers I recently gave on Yahoo Answers, and I thought I’d reprint them here because they’re just so damn awesome.
In response to why someone should buy unlocked cell phones:
Besides being able to use any GSM carrier you wish, an unlocked phone also allows you to bypass a carrier’s filth that [...]

Pure advertising genius

Since I’m a Public Relations/Advertising major, I have a certain interest in company logos.  Without going in to too much detail, I LOVE Sony Ericsson’s logo the best because it is simply a stroke of genius.
The cool thing about their logo is the fact that while it looks cool by itself, the letters “S” and [...]

How perceptive I am

I’ve had my Sony Vaio laptop for more than a year, and up until now, I’ve never noticed that it has something very very cool in it.
The computer is DLNA certified, which means that it’s compatible with other devices that offer DLNA.
One such other device is the upcoming Sony Ericsson C905.
What is DLNA?  Essentially, via [...]

More C905 pr0n

I am totally head-over-heels in love with this phone.  I love everything about it.  The shutter mechanism is genius (it’s flat when closed, but the bottom retracts and the top slides over it when it’s opened), the screen auto-rotates thanks to the accelerometer, and it has a mineral glass scratch-resistent screen.  Love it.
It has WiFi, [...]

The black one is mine

All mine.

Learn something new each day

I just discovered that my SE can voice dial phone numbers.  This is awesome.  I was playing around with my Bluetooth headset yesterday, but the bad part was to dial a number, I still had to use the phone.  Now I can just say someone’s name and they’re automatically connected.  I love this thing.
I also [...]

More Shiho/C905 pr0n

Live shots this time.
I’m probably the only one who’s enjoying this, but I don’t care.
It’s surprisingly small considering the raw power this thing has.  I think the black one looks a lot better.

Finally! 3G lovin’ in Omaha!

My mom clipped out an article from the paper today that confirmed something I already knew, but it was nice to see it official and in print.
Due to the release of the second-generation iPhone, which has 3G (HSDPA; High Speed Downlink Access Packet; broadband Internet on your phone) AT&T was finally kicked in the collective [...]

SEs ROCK!

I’ve been using my Nokia for a while now, but switched to my K790 while I’m at camp.  I forgot how awesome that phone is.  The user interface is the best I’ve used on a non-smartphone, since it has the power and feeling of a smartphone interface.
The Sony Ericsson PC Suite is great too.  Nokia’s [...]
