Nokia Lumia 800 & 710 – First Impression

November 15th, 2011 2 Comments

It has been a while since I last attended a Nokia’s media event for the bloggers.  My personal schedule seems to be in conflict with Nokia’s calendar lately for some reasons.  I have been anticipating Nokia’s next generation smartphone.  Suffice to say, I am happy to be able to make it for the Lumia event [...]

David Archuleta, And The N8 Launch Event By SingTel And Nokia

November 15th, 2010 8 Comments

Looking back, I think it was the little disagreements that glued Cynthia and I to American Idol.  Cynthia supported Elliott Yamin and I, Katharine McPhee.  We would debate for days that (a) I was not staring at McPhee’s boobs and mesmerized by her look and (b) I thought McPhee really sang well and sang really well.  But [...]

Last week, I have had the opportunity to meet with one of the Indie game developers Breakdesign through a blogger event.  Originally from South African, now based in Singapore, it is inspiring to meet the co-founder of Breakdesign Rick and his team talking about game development with so much passion.  If indeed one of their [...]

Nokia Christmas Party, By The Singapore River

December 11th, 2009 No Comments

I have always enjoy attending a Nokia party.  Familiar faces from the traditional media, the new media.  New faces too.  And as I looked across the Singapore River, I was greeted by the enormous Integrated Resort yet to be completed stood silently against the dark evening watching over the inhabitants of the-other-side, us.  What are those [...]

Nokia E72 – And The Wait Is Over

November 27th, 2009 2 Comments

I have friends who swear by the Eseries (while I am more of a Nseries dude).  When the E75 was out, I asked one friend of mine if she would get that but she got the E71 instead.  Why?  I suppose having the full QWERTY keyboard right underneath the screen does have its appeal, a [...]

A Preview of N97 – The New Nokia Flagship Mobile Device To Die For

May 21st, 2009 4 Comments

As I was holding the beautiful pearl white Nokia N97 during the preview session held in Nokia’s Headquarter in Singapore, lost in words I was.  Researchers say that most car buyers make a decision within minutes of stepping into the cabin.  I say the same for the wireless phones.  Or shall I say, the world’s [...]

March 3rd, 2009 12 Comments

Imagine this: you buy a phone and it comes with 4 million songs for you to download for free for a year - via your PC or your Nokia phone.  And you get to keep all the tracks even after the service period is over. It is not a question if what Nokia is attempting to [...]

Nokia N96 Test Drive Episode 1 – First Impression

November 17th, 2008 13 Comments

Rarely do I play around with my wireless phone when I am having a meal with someone.  But when the three lovely ladies from the Nokia and Text100 teams handed me the Nokia N96 for a test drive, not even the thunderstorm outside The Rogues could keep me from having my hands all over this [...]

Nokia N-Gage Games Night – I Was There (How Video Games Have Evolved)

November 7th, 2008 3 Comments

How video games have evolved, how they have not.  After attended several of their press / blogger events, this time I was as close to where their home in Singapore is as I can be – the Nokia HQ.  When I arrived at the lobby, I gasped at the grandeur of modernity, perhaps a bit [...]
