I'm waiting for the 3G iPhone to break away from AT&T (I used to work for them, enough said). Apple for sure doesn't need them and they'd benefit a lot from an unlocked phone. I'm sure money and politics play(ed) a part, but the iPhone is established now. Apple certainly can hardball AT&T if they want.

So how will your mobile phone landscape will look with the announced iPhone-Qik application? Will you get rid of the Nokias?

Cheers, Markus

Dude your balls must be taking a radiation beating if you carry those in your pocket!

I see why you do carry them around and im suprised to see that with so many phones on the market at the moment,there isnt one that fits your requirements.

manufactureres listen up!

@met
great tip! although it doesn't transmit RAW files and it's not quick enough to send movies directly to the network. I really wonder why Nikon or Canon do not take care of this problem,
I think it's about time!

THREE PHONES!!! The radiation alone is going to kill you earlier even if you just had one. But three triples your chances of getting something. I once carried two phones as I had one for business but since I am now self employed again I just carry the one. Makes life so much simpler. A simple life is not that hard to get and you end up actually enjoying the time you have instead of jumping from one thing to another. Just my opinion of course.

I'd consider myself a phone freak as well. I live in Canada so I picked up an iPhone for 500 bucks in the states awhile back. I felt so cool since no one else had one. Now that they are coming to Canada I think I might get something else, just to stay unique. However, I gotta agree with you, the browsing on an iPhone is flawless, and makes my daily tasks online so much more enjoyable.

I would really enjoy an in depth comparison of the original and 3G iPhones!

I just called you. Why the fuck should I call you and not have the ability to leave you a message. Why didnt you just leave your email address instead. You just cost me... you owe me.

Everywhere I go I carry three phones now:

"1. iPhone.
2. Nokia N95.
3. Nokia N82.

I also have a Blackjack II Windows Mobile smartphone that I occassionally carry.

I have three separate SIMs, er, three separate phone numbers (I only use one for voice calls, though, and my number is +1-425-205-1921)."

IDIOT ON SO MANY LEVELS

I am looking at a handheld GPS tracking unit, the type that you can see where it is, not the navigational unit. We offer a few a sprint version but it has probelms and I am tired of the head-aches. I found this unit that I bought from U-Tracking , that works like a charm, cool little gadget, great child tracker deal, $19.00 a month or they have a pre-paid deal as well. U can see online right where the unit is! I am thinking of becoming a dealer these guys have a deal where I dont have to buy a truck load of inventory and can make the "right" mark up! Has any one heard of this company, they are outta Florida and I have been in thier offices. Does anyone know where I can look at any other hand held GPS tracking devices, seams like the trend.

I have always considered myself a gadget guy. When the new cool phones hit I am checking them out to see what value they could add to my life. I also carry multiple phones. B8320, Nokia N95 (videos). This article made me feel right at home and a bit of a novice. Please keep it up!

carrying 3 phones is really a job i think:) but for your life is something necessary you have to do it.

Re: I’m a phone freak

I thought all US numbers started with 555.

3 phones is just crazy. Do you carry them in a man-bag or are you just happy to see... everyone you meet?

Hi Robert,

I always meant to ask you how you get 3G with the N82, but now I know better. I have been looking for a 3G (HSDPA) phone myself but something within reach... to hook up my Nokia N810 with to be able to browse on the Nokia N810.

Since you already own a N95, have you though about trying the N810 (or N800) for your browsing and viewer needs rather than the iPhone. You could be pleasantly surprised. And you can tether over BT to your exsting HSDPA connection with N95.

The screen resolution and expandibility (memory wise) of the N810 is much better than the iPhone. Hust a thought.

And I do look forward to your phone rewiew particularly for good HSDPA phones with which to tether your handheld or laptop.

Also how do you transfer photos from the N82 to the N95 to upload to Flickr while on the move ?

My feet are good for most purposes of transportation. Usually I just walk most places, but sometimes I need to get there faster, and so for this reason I carry a bicycle on my back wherever I go.

And tied around on my bicycle I keep some rollerblades, because sometimes I need to get somewhere faster, but not quite as fast as I need to go on my bicycle.

Also, sometimes I need to get somewhere *really* fast, and so I drag some jet-fuel powered boosters behind me and my bicycle wherever I go. They're really heavy and bulky and it's a bit of a pain, but at least once a year they sure do come in handy.

Sure, most days I go to bed without having used anything but my feet. But you never know when I might need my rollerblades, my bicycle, or my jet boosters.

I've got to say, the number of people who carry more than 1 phone is sub, sub percentages. You need 3 front pockets! LOL!

Which of the three do you primarily use for voice calls?

Scoble,
Have you checked out the Samsung Insight? I don't even know if it's out yet but their demo videos pitting it against the iPhone are pretty impressive.

nokiabloggergiveaway — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:19:17 -0000

Yeah, tell us which phones you pay for and which ones are given to you by the manufacturer. I'm willing to bet cash you didn't buy your own N95 or N82.

Which network do you use for N95 video? Assuming it's AT&T 3G.

Do you really need to be that connected all of the time?
