Recently I've been trying Blue pulse and so far I am really looking forward to improve my knowledge about it

Re: Video: President-Elect Barack Obama’s Speech in Chicago

kozjegyzo — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 08:38:55 -0000

I'm very happy Obama won! Finally after years and years the American people did something right. I'm not only happy for the US, but the whole world! Why? Because the person in power in the US effects us here in Europe more than most Americans think. It has grave relevance to our lives. Most Americans don't give a shit about the rest of the world, but it's not the same the other way around. We do care!
This was a historic election in many ways, and I really hope Obama can bring change not just to the US but to the whole world as well...

No worries koz - they'll be launching preliminarily in the next few weeks
and features should be added steadily from that point. :)

Too bad the site is not up yet. At least a teaser would be nice on the index page...

Re: Psiloc Looking for Emoroom Beta Testers

zacharye — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 08:24:09 -0000

Well this service would record all correspondence between you and person X.
All the messages/calls/etc between you and Person X already happened, so
person X already read and heard everything. Emoroom is a trail of only this
correspondence. Person X won't be able to see any messages or calls between
you and Person Y or Person Z. ;)

You definitely have a good point there but as I understand it, only communications between the two devices are on which it is installed are affected.

Wow this is the application that I would not ever want. A phone is like a sealed envelope that should only be opened by the person it's addressed to.
The idea of having my partner see all my private conversations is just too big brother-ish. Not that I have anything to hide, but still, I'd like to choose the time appropriate to tell my partner about the things that happened to me. A lot of things can be out of context by just seeing messages and phone calls.
The idea of having a private data bank between you and your partner (or family and friends) is great, but this as the way it is looks right now, it is like a control freaks dream come true. Even most sharing and loving couples have the right to personal privacy.
This is a BAD app, really bad! People are not gonna use it I think. Psiloc should concentrate on dev-ing better ideas IMHO.

Re: Nokia Plazes - Is it Going Anywhere?

kozjegyzo — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 08:10:48 -0000

This is a sorry excuse for an app. I tried it too and wasn't very pleased with it. Even if it worked I would have no friends who would use it. Why use yet an other chat app just because it has location sharing? You can do that with Google maps already! Having it integrated in a chat app is great, but It should be an add-on to the already existing chat apps, and not a whole new one. Oh yeah and it should WORK!
Nokia should concentrate on getting their browser up to date not venture off and create stuff that is already there IMHO.

Re: Nokia E71 - The Letdown

Abul — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 06:15:47 -0000

To b honest, I don't think many business users will be interested in the 3rd party applications. Their main use of the 71 would be to sync up with M4E or BB Connect to have their e-mails on the go at simple reach. If it fail to do this, it won't be kept. 3rd party apps are aimed more at enthusiasts and techy related professionals who can appreciate them. A business s not going to rely on a 3rd party application to d their business with unless they are specifically hiring them to build something for their platform., and in most cases it will be based on JAVA as ts the most compatible platform for al handsets.

Re: Nokia E71 - The Letdown

kozjegyzo — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 05:24:45 -0000

Thanks Abul for the "Letdown".
I really don't think the camera is such a great issue. The aim here is businessmen, and of course they need to take a snap once in a while but that's prbably the least used function. More over if you look at it from a company side they would prefer not to have a camera all together. My collegue biught an E61 because it DID NOT have a camera, purely because we work in the media business and there are places we are not allowed in with a camera phone. This is becoming a very real issue when entering any companies more sensitive areas.
MFE well I that I cant really comment about that because I use SEVEN and although it's beta it still works sweet.
Since s60 is a great platform I think Nokia should concentrate on the hardware and the platform being as compatible as possible to 3rd party applications, the dev guys all over will take it from there. On this note Google and Android made the right step and will rule all :)
I also have an adaptor to my headphones and it works great. I really don't care that I have to use one, because the original Nokia headsets suck. They used to have a full functioning remote control on the that was great. Now since they use a jack (great step because it's compatible) there is limited remote capability. I'm sure more functions could be implemented if they cared to do it...

I really think that the E and N series dedication will fall away with having a touchscreen and everything that comes with that. NOKIA COME ON ALREADY WE NEED THAT TOUCHSCREEN AND MAKE IT BIG!!!
Since the E and N both run the same platform (more or less) the only bid differences are the screen and size camera. Everything else can be added via software, who cares if it's not there from the box, just add the best 3rd party one and you're off! :)

Re: S60 Browser Issues, Part 2

kozjegyzo — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:52:20 -0000

It's great Zach that you are addressing this issue! Nokia dev guys should read this blog. Hats off to s60 to take the leap, but it seems like the browser has been left to rot. This is a shame! Nokia should allocate resources to this rather than making a new chat application that nobody will use (because there are soooo many other better ones to choose from), or waste money on making a music store that is also already exists. All these side ventures are in the wrong direction.
Many greater minds than mine predicted that all IT will be done on the Internet not to far in the future. I have to agree fully. Just from personal experience - the company I work for uses Google for everything from company mail to online document editing cooperation, communication via chat, the list is never ending. Really from the applications on my laptop I use Firefox for most of what I need to do.
So keeping that in mind I would assume the browser on a mobile device would be number 1 priority in this day and age. I assume people at Nokia are not stupid and see this trend going towards everything being online. So why don't they do something about it???
Firefox is coming out in mobile for soon (the sooner the better) and that hopefully will solve some of the problems, I'm really waiting for it, becouse right now surfing the web on my E51 is such a put-off that I only do it when I really must.
Zach you mentioned Android... well all I have to say is line up with your plates because Android is gonna dish out some ass whoopin, that the mobile market has never seen before ;)

Could Seven be the answer for this problem also?

Re: SEVEN Push Email FP2 Update Coming Within a Week

kozjegyzo — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 16:47:14 -0000

Google scans and stores every single character sent through them. This issue is always there when you use an online e-mail service. I think you can never be safe. I bet that all big providers do the same everywhere. I don't think this is too legal, because there is a law about letter-mail secrecy that applies to electronic mail too. But who is gonna stop them from doing it?
As a matter of fact I know from an ex - Vodafone employee friend of mine that all traffic is recorded that goes through them. I mean all - phone conversations, sms, mms, data - everything. They record, keep ti for a while (few years) then delete it.
I'm sure if it came out to the open they would say "This is for national security" or some BS. But at the end of the day you can never hide from big brother or whoever.
If you send really sensitive data you should encrypt it. There are very good and nearly impossible to crack encryption applications out there. Of course "What man made, other men can crack" and I personally know a few who do it with ease...
No wonder the best hackers and crackers never ever go to jail, they get jobs at companies that they ripped off or with the police, doing cyber crime prevention.

Try out Psiloc Connect. It will solve all your data connection problems. I use it with Seven and it works like a charm... (THX again Zach for the license!)

Re: AT&T 2H 2008 Roadmap Leaked; No N95 NAM, No E71

zacharye — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:31:07 -0000

Believe it or not, this one one area where GSM carriers in the US are
right on track. One a handset is out of contract a carrier will give
you the unlock code for free. While this isn't advertised, all you
have to do is call them up and ask. We also have number portability as
you do. If you are changing carriers, the new carrier will bring your
existing phone number over to your new account free of charge. I'm not
too knowledgeable when it comes to roaming. I believe national roaming
is free with most (or all) carriers but I'm not sure about
international roaming as I just buy a prepaid SIM whenever I leave the
country.

We still pay for incoming calls though... ;)

Re: AT&T 2H 2008 Roadmap Leaked; No N95 NAM, No E71

kozjegyzo — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 15:04:44 -0000

Thank god here in the EU we have very strict guidelines concerning costumer protection. One of them is that any phone operator selling handsets not of their own brand has to offer the option of unlocking the phone. If you've bought the phone with a plan the unlock fee is high of course but if your contract has ended they unlock it for a few bucks. I think this is correct way to do it, since you might get fed up with your operator but you've payed for that handset, it's yours and you very well should be able to use it with any operator of your choice. Who are they to restrict you?
Also there is a law that operators have to allow you to carry your number (without any cost to you) if you decide to switch operators. The number is yours, you've bought it they are not allowed to restrict you.
Roaming prices are also restricted in the EU, so no matter where you are, your per minute, sms, and mms prices can never be higher then the price set by the EU.
And of course we abolished paying for incoming calls not long after mobile phones became reachable for everyone (back when you had to carry a briefcase size phone)
(Zach feel free to use my post to start a post on The Outsidr about how consumers should be handled)

Re: AT&T 2H 2008 Roadmap Leaked; No N95 NAM, No E71

Meatwad — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:13:47 -0000

I was driving west on Colorado 285 and stopped at the Coney Island hot dog stand. During tourist season (this particular day was July 4), about 40 minutes will pass from the time you step in queue to the time they deliver your elk dog infused with jack and jalapeños. I spent the majority of that time chatting with the NokiaUSA Denver rep.

The short answer is: The US carriers dislike useful phones. They especially dislike Symbian phones due to their openness. What few decent smartphones that have made it to AT&Ts lineups have quietly disappeared over the last 18 months and they were fairly crippled as a locked phone.

As I had suspected all along.

Kozjegyzo:
"And the other thing, why not just get an EU model? As I know they work over there too as long as there is a GSM network around...
Well these are my thoughts"

Because the UMTS freqs here in blighted states don't entirely line up most of world's 3G implementation. Phone works but no high speed data.

'Murrica always has to do things a little different. Imagine that all your local neighborhood playgrounds were membership required. You're not allowed to bring your own toys, a small selection of the latest and greatest toys are available but turn out to be cheap knockoffs of the real ones Billy and Jane got from the toy store.

I agree with koz's post. I paid <500 USD to an Amazon store. Walked into an AT&T store. He scanned the bard code, asked me what number I wanted and then I signed a receipt that came out of a register printer.

No muss, fuss, money changing hands, blood-letting ceremonies or even <gasp> a contract. In ten minutes (three waiting for the rep) I had a basic plan with medianet working on this glorious little device.

When people see me pull up POIs on Maps or pop open GMail, they ask me about it. When I get to the cost, they of course recoil in horror. At which time I ask them how much they paid for their iPod, Garmin/Magellan, and how many months they have left on their contract for that POS Razr they can't hear anything out of anyway.

The contemplative silence that follows indicates that my job is done and I change subjects.

The videos are nice. I wonder if the Ninjas had N96 phones, would they be still around...? Or was this flyin lady a Samurai?
Anyway I entered the competition too... I hope there are many Nokia fiends who are willing to part with a bunch of €-s to get one of these handsets. The pandas would benefit :)
