Nokia C6: phone specifications
Nokia C6 is a newly-released phone from Nokia which has a 3.2″ touchscreen display and a slide-out full-qwerty keyboard. It runs Symbian series 60 OS. It sports a 5MP camera with auto-focus and a built-in LED flash. The Nokia C6 is available in their stores with a price of PhP 14,450.
The price is actually not bad for a touchscreen phone with a slide-out keyboard. The price difference with Samsung‘s Galaxy Spica is small. I guess some would consider the Samsung Galaxy Spica over this one because it has the Android OS and it has a faster processor. Nokia C6 has 434 MHz processor while the Galaxy Spica has 800MHz processor.

- 3.2″ TFT resistive touchscreen display, 16M colors, 360x 640 pixels

Setting up your Nokia E71 Instant Messenger to work with Yahoo! Messenger
One of the features of the Nokia E71 is it’s built-in Instant Messaging application. Little that everyone know, Nokia’s IM application can be used with Yahoo! Messenger. Most of the time, we are notfied with a “Notify your service provider” -like messages when we’re not sure with the settings to be entered.
To configure your E71′s Nokia Instant Messenger to work with Yahoo! Messenger, just follow these simple instructions:
1. Open the IM application. (Home Key > Communication > IM)
2. For fresh installations, you will be asked for a Server Name, Access Point in use, Web Address and your own username and password.
The Server Name is used as a quick reference to what the server settings is all about. Since we’re setting up YIM, you may place “Yahoo! Messenger” as Server Name.
The access point in use will determine which internt data connection to use when connecting to a server.
The web address will contain the url/ip of the server which will host the IM service. In our case, it’s Yahoo!
The username/password are the same with your preferred login for desktop Yahoo! Messenger.
3. Enter the follwing information from the fields in #2.
Server Name : Yahoo! Messenger
Web Address : imps.msg.yahoo.com
Username: <your username>
Password: <your password>
Mobile IM is sometimes annoying since it introduces a great amount of lag. It usually take a minute before the expected message arrives.
** Note: This set-up may also work with N82, N95 and other similar phone models (S60 v3 FP1).

N82 Photography
The N82 is Nokia‘s ultimate gadget for photography. It’s Carl Zeiss 5MP Tesar lens captures every detail in a click. No other phone that I have tried can compare to the N82′s brilliance in capturing your subject’s details, whether it’s for macro, portrait and other types of shooting modes.
Another notable feature of N82 is it’s geo-tagging capability. It can utilize your phone’s built-in GPS to embed in the photo the exact location where the photo was taken. I have tried using it with Google Earth and Picasa and it’s perfect. Picasa loads the photo’s geotags into Google Earth and lets Google Earth show where on the

Choosing N82 over N95 8GB (N82 vs N95 8GB)
Like I mentioned on my earlier post about the N82, the actual phone I received from Nokia Philippines was the Nokia N95 8GB. But later, I found that N82′s features suits well for me as compared to the N95 (8GB).
Nokia N82 Specifications
I got the Nokia N82, which is my first Symbian Series 60 phone, from the Philippine Blog Awards 2008. The award I got, the Bloggers’ Choice Award’, was sponsored by Nokia Philippines. The phone Nokia originally gave was the Nokia N95 8GB but I traded it with my friend’s Nokia N82.
This is also the second Symbian S60 phone that i’m going to review after that gaming phone I borrowed from a friend.
I’ll reserve the reasons why I opted for N82 instead of the N95 8GB.
