Vinko, as of today, louisgray.com is based on Blogger. I don't use any
plugins. I do have customized scripts from a number of sites, but no
plug-ins.

It's odd to see someone "dying" to see the next wave of Windows
mobile. As for being an Apple hater, sorry to hear that! I think they
do a lot for the industry at large, even if you're not a Mac person.

I couldn't justify being an iPhone user until they fully supported
Exchange. Now, the iPhone supports Exchange mail, calendars and
contacts. It does VPN as well. There's virtually no reason you can't
ditch whatever cell phone you are on at the office and get an iPhone
instead.

Ron, aren't you the same guy who bragged about how many unopened e-
mails you always had in your in box? Sounds like we need to keep
training you how to stay on top in tech. The BlackBerry's time has
come and gone.

So your recommendation would be never to buy anything because they are
going to continually be updated, and therefore yours is outdated?

Hi Louis,

I really like some of the features you have on your blog, would love to know the plugins you're using to achieve that. Is this a WordPress blog? Are you achieving these functionalities via plugins you've created?

Contribution vs. Consumption :P that's the difference between being an iPhone user & an N-series user.

Clearly we use phones for different purposes lol. My phone is for Internetting / soc net / mobile browsing on the go. And for my purposes, the iPhone is perfect. Especially since I'm not into the hunting and pecking UI.

Whoa - I thought you were going to harp on me about not specifying that the differences are with the firmware and not the actual hardware. What a pleasant surprise! That said - please don't tell me you're one of those "Zunephone" conspiracy theorists? Danger + Microsoft = no thank you. And WinMo = FAIL. Sorry, but they've been in the game over 10 years? TIME'S UP!

Have you seen Internet Radio on the N96? I agree, streaming is great... which is why Qik.com & HSDPA are great (Nokia apps). I've never owned an iPod or a mini point & shoot, so the N95's music player & 5megapixel camera (video too) are the win win when it comes to hardware superiority.

I have an iphone and I love a lot of its features. But I'm dieing to see what the next windows mobile will bring to the table. Although I like apple's products, I'm a bit of an apple hater due to its consumer practices.

Streaming, Enrique. STREAMING. Plus Pandora and last.fm have native iPhone apps. Soon there will be no need to locally store mp3s. And again, back to the omission of memory expansion = saving $$. Mono-audio doesn't bother me. I don't have the "Nokia habit" of utilizing my phone as a musical device. Never have, never will. That's what I have my iPods for anyway. ;)

Bluetooth data (and stereo bluetooth) is a must for anyone that wants the use of a music/data/smart device... especially the iPhone's mono-audio output for handsfree only. WTF? I says. It's an iPod, stereo BT audio just makes logical sense. The only reason Apple didn't include data BT is to covet their DRM/MP3 whatever from being shared effortlessly. Even using WIndows Mobile & syncing over Bluetooth is a much better alternative than USB or transferring over 3G/HSDPA to wherever.

It's too early to be a hardcore business phone - especially since there's not push (yet) If you exchange massive amounts of emails, communicate wiht your colleagues online (meaning you have a need for an IM client to be up 24/7)... wait I am totally repeating myself Martha! I responded on FF. REDUNDANCY FAIL! haha

2 I completely understand but Bluetooth is disagree. I've watched Bluetooth try to catch on since 2002 in the US and it is just not the standard - unless you are a Nokia/Palm person. Beaming was good (in theory) but there's no point when we can email. Plus, as more sites and services move towards Clouds, we (consumers) will no longer need to shell out extra $$ for memory expansion. Storing data online FTW.

That's one of the downsides of the URL. Your name was called out before and after, so we'll have to get better about highlighting the author.

haha Yeah, no native apps was definitely a pain. Lets just say that by the time the 2nd gen was finally released, it was an object of intense craving and lust for me :-)
