SBSH just released a new update for Calendar for S60 smart-phones to version 1.5! Wouldn’t you know that the day after my review of the Nokia E72 that it was released. I would have loved trying the updated version on the E72 before I had to send it back.

I have to admit from the beginning that I am an avid Windows Mobile fan and over the years have always found it difficult to look at and use other devices. I am sure that the biggest reason for that has been because I have been so used to the Windows platform and when looking at a non-windows device, I compare every aspect of it to Windows Mobile. Over time I have mellowed somewhat and have acquired an absolute liking to a variety of non-windows devices.
Several years ago I was included in a special bloggers program where I had the opportunity to check out a variety of Nokia N-series devices and quite frankly, I was very impressed with most of them. In fact, I still use a couple of Nokia devices when I want that special experience while I am on the road. If one were to ask what impressed me the most as I used those devices, I would have to reply that it was the unparalled quality of the Nokia Experience.

Mike Temporale went to CES this year and posted an item that caught my eye: Using your device to control your car stereo is cool (as long as you are not driving).
The connection can be made over WiFi, Bluetooth, or over USB connection. They are still working on the USB connection, but expect to have that completed soon.
They are open to supporting more than just LG devices. Since this is a Windows Mobile client, it will work on any Windows Mobile device.

Everyone has their own way to Experience Mobility. My niece just got back from a “Winter Camping Trip” with stops at Arches National Park , Capitol Reef National Park, Bryce Canyon National Park, and Zion National Park. She sent us a slew of great pictures to share her experience with us so I thought I would share with you a few of her photo’s.
I’ll have to get her a Windows Phone so she can post her pictures as she takes them!

I have to admit I am prejudiced toward Windows Mobile but there are a few non Windows devices that have been favorites as well. I change devices almost daily and often carry two as a rule but today I was undecided what I was going to work with so I took 3 devices with me.

I spent most of my day with the AT&T LG expo surfing the net, checking my email and watching a movie using the Pico projector while waiting for a friend.
I am impressed with the LG expo. It is fast, comfortable to use and has a few neat features that make it quite unique. I expect that shortly I will start posting my thoughts and experiences with this very cool device.
Nokia has always impressed me with their devices. My experiences have been very positive with a few devices coming very close to being my favorite. Such is the case with Nokia e72. This is a very slim device that has amazing possibilities as I explored it today for a couple of hours. I’ll spend a few more days with it and next week will post a few thoughts before I have to return it.
And lastly, I am spending my evening watching some TV and testing a few applications on my Touch Pro2 (which is tied in first place with my Verizon Imagio). When I know I have a lot text entry, this device is my first choice.
So I am testing some blogging software on my device and am finding that adding pictures is an issue but I expect we will overcome that … at least I hope so.
I’ll be missing CES this week because of some prior commitments bit I expect we will be getting some great items from some fellow MVPs that did get to go.
I wanted to check out a beta application for posting to Experience Mobility so this was a good time to try it.
I love this! This is the funniest, and most thought out iPhone commercial spoof ever, brought to you by the folks at www.scottevest.com.
If you like “There’s an App for that Apple iPhone commercials”, you will LOVE SeV’s version: “There’s a Pocket for That“.

I caught a neat tip today over at jkontherun where James talked about how to enable the super secret Windows 7 God Mode.
God Mode is a simple folder that brings all aspects of Windows 7 control in a single place. It collects all of the Control Panel functions, interface customization, accessibility options, just about every aspect of controlling Windows 7 into a single place.
God Mode is easy to set up too, just do this:
- Create a new folder anywhere.
- Rename the folder by pasting this name exactly as it appears (copy it first):
- GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
That’s it, you now have a folder with the Control Panel icon (pictured above) that has all the controls in one place:
