Quick Summary: Not only do I love my new Nokia E71 smartphone, I am also writing this post on it.
I’ll not have access to a PC for almost a fortnight, starting August 1, and I was really worried - no blogging for a fortnight! - until I tried blogging from my new Nokia E71 smartphone.
I’m writing this post on my E71 on a Vodaphone GPRS connection.
It’s not the same as writing on a laptop, of course. The Wordpress administrative interface took a couple of minutes to load, the qwerty keyboard is a little cramped, I can’t cut and copy text and doing fancy formatting is somewhat cumbersome.
However, the page download speed is only a little slower than the speed on the Tata Huawei data card attached to my laptop. My typing speed is already quite nifty after a day of playing around with the E71 and I have made almost no typos in the entire post. The qwerty keyboard, in spite of its tiny size, is easy to get used to. The screen resolution is wide enough, without being a wow! factor, and the navigation is never confusing, even if it is sometimes cumbersome. If I really want to, I can even do some really fancy formatting, with a little effort.
