From Ericsson P900 to Nokia N97

http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/devices/nokia-n97

It was a long wait. Nothing could have replaced Sony Ericsson P900. This Wi-fi menace could have! But it wasn't required. I waited. Waited patiently for the Wi-fi featured another Ericsson, Xperia was probably my dream. Disappointed when it just came with 400 MB of memory. This memory card stuff is not my way of doing this. And the price tag too was not worth to justify.

Too much of research on the Internet, window shopping, checking of wallets, and finally time has come to 'Change'.

And I am on Nokia N97. Yes, the system hung on the first day itself when I was figuring out what those applications freebies can do for me. But that's fine. If you are in the IT industry you have reached a maturity level that 'nothing works fine all the time'.

Wi-fi setup, Orb, Qik live video streaming, Vox photo and blog sharing are setup. Not sure how long these sites will offer the services for free, probably until the angel investors turn to demons.

First time I realized why people get (On Fring) messages next to their Gtalk, MSN, Skype, Yahoo messenger nicknames and when I received messages that looked like SMS but were chat messages, it dawned that I am now online all the time! Quickly went to the connection manager to switch-off the connection to my AP.

Well, till I figure out how to utilize this expensive gadget fully, keep watching this space for more pleasures and pains shared from my experience of my night-outs with Nokia!
