Pocket Life for Mobile

Pocket Life is fun. After testing it with 3 friends we really got the hang of seeing where each one of us is and to share messages. I like the web - its kinda backup feature and organiser.

There are lot’s of cool things you can do on Pocket Life like getting status updates and messages from your friends across all your favourite sites (e.g. Facebook, MySpace etc). But what makes us different is that this is a full location based service so everything is tied to a place like finding which of your friends are nearby and what are the top rated bars to meet up and storing photos.

More cool things you can do include:

Look like BlackBerry: Nokia E63 Review

The Nokia E63 is the slight comrade of the E71 playing smartphone. We liked Nokia's E71 BlackBerry-buster a lot, awarding it 5 stars and closing that it was finer shapely than the BlackBerry Bold, had major applications, connectivity and firing chronicle but was abused by the Fearless on the size of the display, module and ease-of-use. Can the E63 tactfulness any of these issues without compromising anything historic?

Healthy, though we described the E63 as the E71's slight crony, it's actually a larger sound. In fact it's 13mm coagulate instead of 10mm. It's not any heavier tho', as the E63 and the E71 use the synoptical shelling write. One fleshly shift is the keyboard. We acquire the E63's keyboard plane easier to use, thanks to impalpable modifications in the configuration and size of keys. The presentation is exactly the unvarying as on the E71 - a 2.36 progress QVGA with 16 cardinal emblem.



Wrong, the E63 is real siamese to the E71, so construe our E71 practice for a many elaborated description. Both phones are Symbian 9.2 SmartPhones working the Playoff 60 3.1 person programme. There's a wealthiness of applications getable and the operating method seems to be abloom and pretty some bug-free. Several things somebody been removed from the E71: HSDPA has spent, but it's ease a 3G phone. GPS has gone too. The camera has been low from 3.2 megapixels with autofocus to 2 megapixels with geostationary focalise.

One betterment is the plus of a 3.5mm headphone ass. Cheer! Now we can stoppage in any headphone we suchlike, or blockage it into the car biaural. A Nokia biaural headset WH-102 is supplied too.



Although the E63 isn't quite as surefooted as the E71, it's works a superb all-round phone. Whether you take the E63 or E71, you'll chance that accessing netmail, sending texts and viewing web pages is real simplified indeed. This is thanks to the replete QWERTY keyboard, astronomic impede and excellent net proof.

It's not rattling moderate to comparability the E63 to the BlackBerry Vaulting. A modify comparing would be with the BlackBerry 8900. Now the Nokia has a true adventure of reaching out on top. Introductory, the keyboard is upright as serious as the BlackBerry's and the Nokia's Navi"Key complex a heck of a lot finer than Blackberry's trackball. BlackBerry wins when it comes to the obturate, and the two devices pull when it comes to telecommunicate and web software. The E63 has 3G, whereas the BlackBerry 8900 has to rely on Boundary, but the BlackBerry has a amended camera. We anticipate that on residue spoiled for pick when it comes to concern phones that worship QWERTY keyboards and versatile cyberspace, but which don't compromise on different features, usability or plane size. The inferior connecter is that the Nokia E63 is an outstanding sound, and offers a less pricey alternative for those not wanting GPS or a top-notch camera in their phone. In fact, if you don't requirement these, we'd advocate the E63 because of its outstandingly well keyboard.
