Nokia E61 Phone Gets PJS Approval
Breaking News... "Nokia E61 Phone Gets FCC Approval" (breaking news from March 2nd 2006).
In any case, behold my new phone.
Frankly, it is less a phone than everything else. Actually, it is even somewhat difficult to place a call with that. But it seems to work, and the 1-EUR bid on Ebay was not a scam.
However, as yet it has not proven the be-all-and-end-all of my communication woes. Instead of providing me with a turn-key solution, rendering all other means of communication unnecessary, the UMTS/3G feature is still missing. Not from the phone, but from the provider. Or the network itself. Or something.
But I am still positive it may become available.
However, this leaves me with two devices (this new toy, and my Clie TH55 to which I have a subtly erotic affection) competing for pocket space, and so far I was pretty comfortable with the Clie's Graffiti text input, its Bluetooth, IrDA, and WLAN capabilities. So this new gadgets just sports the UMTS option, which, I have to admit, would be a definite knock-out argument - in case it should finally work.
(Um. I forgot the main reason for writing this post... the new phone numbers! It's +49-176-45045638 (mobile) and +49-921-1676644 (fixnet). Seems somebody - not me - screwed up the phone number porting.)
