Nokia E71

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).

SE W960i, the gadget blogging bought me

July 16th, 2008 12 Comments   Posted in Mobile Phone, Sony Ericsson

The Sony Ericsson W960iI am so happy because I finally bought my dream phone, the Sony Ericsson W960i Walkman Phone. I used a portion of my earnings from PRCBER to buy the phone.

I’ve been going to the different shops from different malls since last month to check on the prices. Finally, last week, I can’t help my urge on buying this phone. I was able to get it for PhP 21,780.00 ($484). It’s the cheapest I’ve seen from the weeks of hunting for a good price.

SE W960i is Sony Ericsson’s banner phone for 2008. It’s a camera, music (walkman) and busines phone in one. It has a built-in 8GB memory. It runs on Symbian’s UIQ3, the operating system being used by Sony Ericsson’s P-series phones. Like most UIQ3 devices, it also has touch screen capabilities. Since it’s a business phone, it has a built-in office application which permits you to create and view documents. I’m also satisfied with its 3.2 Megapixel camera which is equipped with auto focus capabilities. It’s a lot better than K608i’s 1.3 MP camera.
