Nokia Launches the E72

Nokia released a successor to the highly recommended E71 business phone – the E72. On top of sporting a slightly different look, with the ‘Intuitive Optical Navi Key’ (navigation button/mouse), the biggest improvements for me are the new 5MP camera and the 3.5mm headphone jack. Until now I was somewhat discouraged to upgrade my N95 to the E71 because of those 2 features – I love my N95 camera, and with 30fps it puts out above average video as well. With the new 5MP camera onboard the E72 (although only 15fps in video), I feel ready for the upgrade, and won’t have to carry the ac adaptor with me (because the battery life of the N95 is very poor). On the business-end, I’m thrilled to see Lotus Notes Traveler pre-installed, the first mobile phone to offer this application.

So, Cellcom – whenever you plan on bringing the E72, give me a call and we’ll talk.

I just hope Nokia remembered to fix the alarm clock snooze problem

First 48 hours with Lotus Notes Traveler

It’s been just over 48 hours since I started using Lotus Notes Traveler over my Nokia N95 and I have this to say – it’s addictive and I love it!! I’m using Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5.0.0, with Lotus Mobile Connect for VPN to IBM network (which also gives me access to our intranet – cool ;-), and it has changed the way I work.

Now, some friends might say I’m a ‘connection-junky’ – must be online all the time, but they are blowing it out of proportions a bit. I do have fring, twibble, gmail, FB mobile, Lotus Sametime Mobile, Opera Mini and other mobile applications that keeps me connected – because it’s easier to access them when I want, where-ever I want. Also, I’m not connected all the time because my N95’s battery will die after 4 hours of usage..

I must say that the Lotus Notes Traveler setup is pretty easy, no technical knowledge required. Define your Domino server, how you connect to the network, what you want to sync (mail, calendar, contacts), always-on (push mail) or by-demand, and you’re set.

So, after downloading this cool Symbian screenshot application (thanks Yoav), I’ve taken some screenshots of what Lotus Notes Traveler can do. All those screenshots (and more as time progresses) are available at the facebook album.

Alan found this great 90 sec video outlining the various mobile solutions Lotus offers todaymessaging for iPhone, messaging for Symbian and WM5/6, social software for Blackberry, rich application access for mobile and instant messaging for mobile. The product/solution names could have been mentioned more, but still – very cool video.
Update: Ed also linked this – the birth of a viral video has began.. 😉
