We’ve got the the cutest little girls (and their parents) visiting this week, so I’m off on vacation virtually all of M, Tu, and W.
It’s a great opportunity for me to test out my new cameraphone. Just picked up a Nokia 6600 from T-Mobile, and am so far really enjoying it. The PIM capabilities appear, at first glance, to be actually useable, and I’ve managed to figure out how to synch it with Outlook via infrared (using proprietary Nokia software). It’s also Bluetooth enabled.
One big caveat: e-mail is difficult. In talking to T-Mobile about getting mobile e-mail set up, they are basically telling me to use their “T-Zones” WAP portal — which, of course, is a total pain. Why buy a phone with an integrated e-mail client if you can’t use it to send mail? Not being able to send from the phone interface also makes the cameraphone capabilities much less useful. The problem, understandably, is related to spam. It’s tough to find an SMTP gateway willing to take mail from a mobile sender. Still working on the issue. Right now can’t even get it to receive mail, much less send. Blah.
