Welcome to the future

Saturday, May 06, 2006

I decided that my next mobile phone will be the Nokia N93. It's not out just yet, but it's a 3G phone, and thus requires a 3G SIM card.

Now my SIM card is only a lowly 2G one on Orange, and Orange won't sell me a 3G card without also buying a 3G phone.

So, I've taken the opportunity to switch to T-Mobile, on one of their new Flext tariffs including "Web'n'walk", which gives me unlimited access to the internet on my phone. T-Mobile also provided a very cheap Nokia N70, which uses the same operating system as the N93 will do. When the N93 is finally released I'll simply put my new SIM card in it.

The combination of Series 60 (the operating system these phones run) and unlimited wireless internet access allows for some pretty funky things, like accessing the web, using e-mail, even blogging and uploading photos on the move. There's even a portable version of Google Maps, which is quite frankly amazing.

The future's bright. It's just not orange anymore.

PS: I find it amusing that Blogger's spell-checker doesn't know the word "blogging". D'oh!
