Nokia N97 Unboxing

Nokia Israel kicked off a unique campaign this week, dubbed The Nokia N97 Unboxing – Online as it happens. During the game, Nokia Israel reps are visiting prominent bloggers bearing a box, that might house the new powerhouse from Nokia. The initiative, in cooperation with Y&R, joins this list (also in Hebrew) of digital marketing campaigns, and is quite welcome I might add.

True to the theme of Online as it happens, each visit is broadcasted live and can be viewed at any time on the site, along with a Google Map widget to show you where the package was last. There are also photos from each visit shared on OVI, for your pleasure. If the N97 is not at the box, the blogger is then asked to pick a name from the list I mentioned earlier – the next candidate who’ll recieve a visit from Nokia Israel folks. Each visit is broadcasted, and publicized by both the blogger and Nokia Israel in the various social media sites. The social features could have been better, focusing on (and showing) more content published by those prominent bloggers, but I guess you can’t have all at once.

Although my name is on that list (it’s a short list.. 😉 I’m still waiting for my surprise visit, all dressed up and ready for my close-up.. In the meantime, check out Ilan Peer unboxing his Nokia N97 box:

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.

IBM Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5 Presentation

Following IBM-Nokia announcement from last week, now comes the presentation that provides a quick overview about IBM Lotus Notes Traveler 8.5. (via Alan Lepofsky and twitter).

Coming soon…

Lotus Notes Traveler for Symbian S60, on my Nokia N95.

Lotus Sametime Mobile

A very nice video from Philippe Poupeleer of Lotus Business Partner EASI, on using Lotus Sametime mobile.

I’m currently dealing with configuration bugs in order to make my N95 work with Lotus Sametime Mobile.. Since there must be a secure connection to IBM network, I downloaded Lotus Mobility Client to tunnel my way into the firewall. But, the N95 came a bit short on that task – apparently, there’s no EAP-LEAP plugin available at the Wi-Fi wizard, a plugin that exists on the Nokia E series, such as the E61. Strange.. I wrote to Nokia support and some colleagues in the US in hope of getting an answer – it’s a plugin, so there must be a way to install it, no?
Anyhow, if somewhere out there found a solution, I’d appreciate the comment.. 😉

Final note about Lotusphere, which starts tomorrow – unfortunately, not gonna make it this time around. I looked forward to this awesome event, but have other obligations this week. The job of following Lotusphere from afar is evry easy – head over to lotushperelive.com, type your name and follow the action as it unfolds (thanks to Carl Tyler and Chris Miller). I’ll do my best to follow the announcements and sessions online, and update here asap. Live blogging will surely take place, so watch out for some Lotus blogs out there, as well as the event website itself: ibm.com/lotus/lotusphere . In the trend of collaboration, you can also subscribe to the lotusphere twitter page. Enjoy !
