2nd serving of the digital playzone. They got six candidates for Technoholics and we are asked to vote.
Last week was my holiday, so I decided to reduce web activity to the survival mode (means: gmail, yahoo mail, bloglines mobile, IM, very-very occassional mobile blogging)
So when I visit the Digital Playzone to know more, I got the "stay tuned for updates" website... sigh... So, stay tune!
Another marketing event by Nokia Indonesia that apparently aims to promote N81 that "change the digital entertainment." The event itself looks like a game in which 5 persons participate; 2 celebrities and 3 "technoholic" (gadget freak? No pun intended). Application is open for being chosen as the lucky three. So if you qualify as technoholic, send your stories, photo, and video. As this is a contest, nice prizes are avail. First winner gets N81-8GB, 40 mil money (about €3000) and several others Nokia accessories. Website? www.nokia.co.id/digitalplayzone
Pre-launch event. Mobile Monday Indonesia. It's coming really soon. Next month is the big launch!
Grabbed from Nokia Betalabs today. The app is called "conversation" - threaded SMS. The long awaited. Finally.
The app showed up both as an icon in Application folder and a tab on contacts.
Upon startup, the application will scan all my SMS messages. Builds an index (like the lower screenshot) by contact. Looks promising. Reminds me the nice feature of Treo 650.
I'll try to play around for a while...
Compared to Agile & IM+, this one is not bad at all.
Nicer layout and display. Functional, though I still have to improve my multitap / T9 skills... :-)
Free (at least until now), while Agile & IM+ software cost something.
Palringo supports MSN, AOL AIM, Yahoo, ICQ, XMPP/Google+Jabber, and Gadu-Gadu (never heard of it?).

I am wondering what this interesting company is trying to do (in the Internet space and business).
Long time ago (and recently updated): enable upload to Flickr and Vox directly from Nseries handphones.
First came LoudEye, two years ago. Which a lot of people suspect that it will be re-launch this 29th August in London. (Something about music...)
In June, they announced reorganization to address "Services & Software" business.
Then recently, Twango acquisition and MOSH (beta, own development), both are similar - social networking and sharing stuffs. And in the portfolio of Nokia Siemens Networks (somewhat a different company), there are a couple of interesting technology platform for social networking & peer-to-peer sharing.
Also, less known (and a bit different) probably: ShareIdeas: launched together with Vodafone. This is a collection of stories on how NGO uses mobile technology to change social structure. (Frankly, reminds me of Cisco's - Human Networks)
Definitely, something is changing in this industry. Call it "convergence" - Internet, Telco, Mobile, Media? And companies are anticipating. Nokia is taking a lot of initiatives to "growing its offering of consumer internet services and enterprise solutions and software" [quoted].
Wondering what Nokia will become.
I'll keep an eye...
Let's see.
Found this website by chance. Dedicated for Nokia Nseries owner.
Can get:
- Free content (themes, ringtones, etc.)
- Two-month extended warranty
- Free wifi (a luxury in Indonesia)
Comment I posted on Darla's blog about My Nokia.

Darla... here's Surya from Indonesia. I have registered for the service and here's my impression.
My Nokia is [quoted, freely translated] "a personalization service designed to help you maximize your mobile phone; you will receive routine information including tips & trics for your phone, special offers, contests, and much more." As part of the registration, I was optionally asked to fill in my typical application/services usage (gaming, photo/video, navigation, blogging, ...) to customize the content of My Nokia. Although I still do not see/experience the customization feature yet...
And then a disclaimer:
"You might have known few tips & tricks posted here, but we are sure we still have few other tricks up on our sleeve... and if you have a operator branded [which is not the case in Indonesia] phone, few tips might not work"
The so-called My Nokia homepage has quite some sections (green "tabs" on top right of the page):
- my phone: "Tips & Tricks", "Try It" (themes, ringtones), and "My Next Nokia"
- special offers: still empty at the time being
- customer support
My impressions?
Most of the contents are quite basic actually, as pointed by few others. Not much compelling reason to use at this moment.
But looking at the upside potential --
- for phone owners: get special offers + contents from Nokia (hopefully...)
- for Nokia: connect directly to each phone owner as an individual (talking about individual marketing?) I can somewhat see what they are aiming for.
I think there are still a lot of room for improvements. A LOT...
