My New Nokia N95 Smartphone
Yesterday afternoon, while out doing a spot of Christmas shopping, I accidentally, it wasn't planned, walked into my local Three dealership and purchased a Nokia N95 smartphone. I'd been thinking about getting a new phone for some time, my old Nokia 8310 is about as useful as a chocolate teapot, so in a way it was a happy accident.
Anyway, I'm really quite impressed with the phone and its software. The web browser is especially intuitive and easy to use; my new contract includes unlimited web access and I've been testing it out to the full. I'm a total noob when it comes to smartphones and so you'll have to excuse my excitement, but how cool is it to be able to login to Gmail or any other web based service from just about anywhere!? I'd tell you how cool, only the words escape me.
Having said that, owning an N95 isn't all good and I've already noticed a couple of drawbacks; firstly, browsing the web on my N95 has really opened my eyes, so to speak, to how poorly supported small-screen mobile web devices are. I've now got a lot of work to do to make sure my sites support such devices. Secondly, as a result of the feverish button clicking, the end of my left thumb is somewhat suffering in pain. I'm beginning to think the N95 should come with a health warning :)
