Last post, we had a look at a recent visit to a Nokia test centre. This is where they put phones under extreme heat, cold, pressure etc to see if they are 'worthy' of being called a Nokia handset.
We have all wondered it. How do they test Nokia Phones? Below is a tour at a Nokia test facility to give you a sense of the tender love given to each mobile phone you hold in your hand.
Do you wish that you could open your SMS inbox and view it as a conversation with your Sent sms messages? Have a look at this program called SMS Diary. It claims to be the fastest SMS and MMS viewer in the world. I've bought my own copy after being very impressed with the smooth scrolling interface and cutting down the time taken to open up my inbox to read a new message from 4 seconds to 1 second. This program deals with one of the biggest gripes with the Nokia E65 being very laggy or slow. Try it out and if you like it, pay $US9 at www.smsdiary.eu to get a license key.
You're a mobile geek if you watch a movie and when you see a mobile phone, you get excited that they are using the same phone as you. In Ridley Scott's movie "Body of Lies" with Russell Crowe and Leonardo DiCaprio, Leonardo is seen chasing the Muslim terrorists with a Nokia E65 keeping him connected to the director of the CIA. The movie looks at a CIA operative trying to penetrate a Muslim terrorist organisation with the help (and obstruction) of the CIA director and the complications that come with international politics.
Also starring in this movie are a few other Nokia phones and to show it was not an exclusive product placement, there was also a clear shot of a Blackberry as well and a Samsung(?) mobile to blow up the building at the beginning of the movie. Have a look next time but don't forget to enjoy the movie :) What other movies have you seen starring the Nokia E65 or other phones?
As a way of drawing attention to Nokia's E series' siblings E71 and E66, they have created a website called The Unloader which encourages you to upload a document that is causing you stress and anxiety at work and watching it get destroyed (in a choice of three different ways). Here's one I prepared earlier:
As mentioned in an earlier post, free wireless internet is coming to McDonalds stores in Australia. At My E65 we look at the nitty-gritty of these things so here are some questions you may be wondering.
What's the limit? There is a 50Mb per session download restriction at the moment. This is clearly displayed on the redirect page that is presented after you accept the T&Cs and counts down your remaining allowance. This includes uploads and downloads.
How long can I idle? 10 minutes then you just need to go through the terms and conditions again.
Time limit? None at the moment.
Where is Free McDonalds WIFI available currently? 20 locations in Sydney currently. See the map here
Looking ahead: • NSW/ACT Mid October Late November • VIC/TAS Late November Late December • QLD/NT Late December Late January • SA/WA Late January Late February
How will I know when my McDonalds is enabled? There will be a blue sign or something like that nice and obvious in the store to let you know. Don't worry, they really do want you to know and this will become apparent.
What can't I access? Peer-to-Peer downloads like torrents. McDonalds also does not want you to access porn or other socially unacceptable and immoral content. There will be people working on providing safe family access to the McDonalds Internet. Terms and conditions will be there for you to read (if you choose).
Finally and most importantly, will it work on My E65? I don't live in Sydney so I can't find out for you. Perhaps someone already has? Should be able to anyway.
The extended version of this FAQ can be found here.
I've decided to repost this entry from earlier this year to find out more about our current users. At MyE65, it is always amazing to see the different countries logging on to this website.

Nokia targets business people with the E series of which the Nokia E65 belongs so we'd like to find out whether you are who Nokia thinks you are... you can post a reply anonymously. It only takes two minutes!
The Nokia E71 has received rave reviews from sites like Cnet scoring an editor review of 9.5/10 and selected as the top of the top in Wired online and on C|net as well. It is part of the next generation of E-series phones coming out at the same time as the Nokia E66 which could be said as the non-QWERTY version of the Nokia E71.
So how is the Nokia E71? It is firstly a very, very nice looking phone. Though the phone is a little wide, it is surprisingly thin. The E71 comes packed with the usual - GPS, 3.0 megapixel camera with LED flash, HSDPA (fast internet), excellent resolution with 16 million colours, wireless internet, bluetooth etc. You can get the whole list of specs here at the Nokia E71 page.
What makes E71 stand out? Firstly, its very professional looking. It has the blinking new sms / email / missed call notification which also comes with the E66. The GPS feature is very good when combined with Google Maps or Nokia Sports Tracker. The menus and functions are easy to navigate as with all Nokia phones. There is also the feature of having your SMS read out to you. You can also hold down certain buttons to select a different option to one which you just press the button so each button can be used to access two options.
What doesn't the E71 have? You can't turn it over to silence the phone or tap-to-silence feature which is available in the Nokia E66. It doesn't have the auto-rotation of display but with the E71 aimed at executives and professionals, it doesnt really need it.
So E71 or E66? It really depends on how much you want a QWERTY keyboard on your phone. I came to the conclusion that I would rather have the E66 because texting is a pain with a QWERTY keyboard. ALso, I like the predictive text which can make typing a message faster (for me). Also I find it quite annoying sometimes to have to press shift to access numbers on the QWERTY keyboard. However, other people may do a lot of word processing which they would rather have the E71. The buttons on the E71 are very small but easy to press and nicely designed.
