I my recent post “N95 GPS Revisited”, I mentioned that I’d be trying and reporting on the new native Symbian S60 version of Google Maps as an alternative to the pre-loaded Nokia mapping application. Well, in short, the Google app blows the Nokia one away, IMHO. It finally makes the GPS function of the...

Alec’s iPhone experience
Alec Saunders has a terrific post: iPhone: Brilliant. Frustrating. Alec has pretty much echoed my sentiments described at iPhone – Look but don’t touch and summarized beautifully with “I want to love this phone – it’s that good” but in the end he can’t due to its limitations, saying “The iPhone has the most...
Hands-on with iPhone – Look but don’t touch
As many reading here know, I’ve been using an N95 for some time now. After one day with the iPhone, here are some first impressions.

I also developed a GPS-based vehicle tracking system. So I can speak with some authority on the technology. Compared...
Straight talk on the Nokia N95
I’ve been using the N95 for a few weeks now. I moved from the N80i so this is my second shot at a Nokia wi-fi enabled phone. In a lot of ways the N95 is big a improvement over the N80i (which I review here). It’s MUCH lighter, thinner, and has a bigger screen....
