A new phone, and some mobile blogging in the future
I got sent a new Nokia 6682 phone as part of a marketing program that's trying to get the phone in the hands of bloggers in both Toronto [mbt] and Vancouver [mbv]. The hope on the part of the marketing company in charge of the program is that I'll use it and blog about it.
I got it last night and started to charge it. Today I've loaded on Nokia's Lifeblog software [nok] which I guess will help me organize photos and notes on the phone, though it won't sync with my Macbook. I then loaded ShoZu [sz] on it to let it easily load my photos to my Flickr account.
My only complaint, aside from the lack of Mac compatibility, is that it's not got a full keyboard which would make mobile blogging so much easier. Posting from my BlackBerry is simple, even though I can't add photos, with the Nokia 6682 I'll be able to add photos but typing is going to be annoying. Still it'll be a nice portable video camera / camera that will let me take it out on the town. I'll be blogging more about it in the future.
