The Nokia N96

After romancing the awesome Nokia N82 for nearly four months, WOM World is now asking for it back… (sigh)  However, I’ve gotten yet another mobile phone: the N96.

Several times a year, I receive Nokia units (cellular phones and paraphernalia) from WOM World for review, and for participating in Nokia-specific programs.

Nokia N81 8GB

The Nokia N81 8GB is a smartphone with a mix of impressive features… and rather disappointing disadvantages. There’s the obvious advantage of having built-in 8 gigabytes of memory space for applications, games, music, videos, photos, what have you. Some mobile-phone critics have complained about the lack of an expansion slot for more memory, but 8 [...]
