Nokia E71x Review

So, this is going to be my first review ever, hopefully it turns out okay. First off, I must say I am in no means what so ever a writer, the only writing that I have ever done is at school in English class. This will probably be a little scatter brained, I just kind write as ideas come to me about the phone. If you have any type of suggestions for my writing skills, please leave a comment, and I will try to work on that for my next review.
For starters this is my first Nokia Smartphone, I have never used Symbian Series 60 before, but I am very interested in Smartphones and have used Windows Mobile and Palm OS. I have a little bit of experience with the iPhone OS, and Blackberry OS.

I have had this phone for about a month now, and I have to say that I really like how customizable S60 is and how many application there are out there for it. I do have to say that when I first started using it took a little while to get used to where everything thing was at under all the folders on the menu, but after I got used to it, it was very easy to use.
One of the things that I use this phone the most for would have to be text messaging. The QWERTY keyboard on this phone is very good, it did not take me very long to get used to using it. The messaging on this phone is very good, the only thing that I would have liked to see in the messaging app would have to be threaded texts, so many phones out there that have threaded SMS on them, even the old Palm OS phones have that feature.
Another thing that I use my E71x for is web browsing, the default web browser is great, but I also us Skyfire and Opera Mobile. Using the WiFi on this phone is very good, it is easy for me to get a good connection with it while I am at home or at school. AT&T's EDGE network isn't the fastest, but it works pretty good when I just want to load up Facebook mobile or a small website that doesn't take up a lot of data. This is also my first 3G enabled phone and using 3G on AT&T is amazing when I am in a city that has 3G, I can't help but stay on my phone browsing the web, the speed is amazing!
I also use this phone as an mp3 player, I have an 8GB Micro SD card that I use for all my music. I also have a small device that allows me play the music from my phone through the speakers in my car. The music player is really good, it has some cool equalizers that can make the music sound better than it normally would.
Using the camera on this phone is really good, it is 3.2 MegaPixels and has a flash on it. I take a fair amount of pictures that I put on Facebook. Using the camera is awesome, it has autofocus and takes great pictures.
One other great feature on this phone is the GPS, I use Google maps and Ovi maps to find my location and give me directions. The GPS works really good most of the time. I really like how Ovi maps work, it is probably the best free GPS app that I have used.
So, over all I really like this phone, there are many other great things about this phone that I didn't really have time to add in this review, but I did highlight most of the really good features that I use all the time.

As always thanks for reading, and God bless!

Life Has Changed Yet Again!

So, my life has changed again, now I bought a new cellphone, a Nokia E71x, I wrecked my Beretta, and now have a Subaru Justy, I really like both of them. I also have another job now, I work for Frantz Building Services, I buff floors at different office and medical buildings. It isn't too bad of a job, it could be worse!
Also, this Friday I will be going to Sadie Hawkins at Daviess County High, it is going to seem a little strange going to a high school dance while I'm out of high school, but I should have a lot of fun!
It has been so long since I've blogged, I really don't even know if there is anyone that reads this anymore, I can only hope there is atleast one good reader out that, even if I don't get to blog very often and I never really say a lot of stuff in my entries.
I have been thinking about doing reviews of different thing that I use and like to use, such as my phone and my laptop, I'm not sure how well that will go, because I'm not really a person that likes to write a whole lot, but I really like technology and different types of gadgets that I have or would like to have.
