100-words-review of Nokia N95-8GB

Arie — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 14:40:51 +0000

Wanted a new phone, my needs:

Smartphone, whatever that means
UMTS/HSDPA
Not Windows-mobile

This basically leaves the Nokia N95-8GB and the Sony Ericsson w960i.

I liked the N95′s design better, and the fact that it accepts a normal headphone instead of some crappy proprietary plug.

Pro:

Tons of features
Quick
Pretty

Cons:

All plastic
Buttons feel slightly ‘cheap’ and ‘plastic’
Rather large compared to my previous phone, Motorola V3i
Realplayer as the default video player application

All in all I really like this phone, among all the features, there’s even an option to actually call someone, awesome!

Busy on Rails

Had a rather busy week hacking together a site in Rails. My friend and colleague Iain wrote about that project on his blog.

I’m very pleased with the end result, and I hope the customer will be as well.

We’ll find out next week

This summer I attended Campzone, an outdoor LAN party. It was the 6th time this LAN was organised, and every year I’ve seen it getting better and better.

Here are some photos I’ve taken at the event. More in my Gallery
