November 13th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Actually, the original title was “Usability not counteless features is good for Nokia phones” but then my train of thoughts focused on the N-Series (as well as S60 usability) in the end… Reading this great summary from Russel and the following comments in this link, I recalled a previous post regarding the complex structure of [...]

November 4th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Since I started working in Sweden I installed WorldMate to use its currency converter. The basic features are free and I used mainly the weather forecasts and currency converter.

Working in Sweden

October 30th, 2007 · Comments Off
