My Nokia Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard arrived today for my Nokia 6680 cell phone. Retails for $199, but I got it for about $139 at Mobile City Online. It’s only fitting that I get a keyboard for a phone that boots. There is definately a line a device crosses, more so a phone when the words “boot” and “shutdown” enter your vocabulary when describing its functions as opposed to “on” and “off”.
While wireless itself isn’t new, the fact I can blog from my dining room via tools that fit in both pockets is just wicked. All I need to do is make a lighter weight interface in HTML since the current MoveableType one is too heavy for this phone’s browser…at least, I think it is. I can already email my pictures to Flickr, so once I get cellblogging on this mofo, I’m set!
The last trip I took, I didn’t have a laptop, just my Nokia 3300 which had text & multimedia messaging which doubled surprisingly well as email. Flickr worked the same, although the camera wasn’t near as good.
Now, I can check real email as this one suppports POP and IMAP; she’s slow, though, because I usually get like 200 emails an hour, and the phone’s MEdia net connection certainly isn’t broadband.

MAN, my next keyboard will definately be an ergo… geez, I certainly couldn’t make my living coding on that mofo in a coffee shop.
willow!
Sweet. Are you getting paid for the ad? :)
Naw, it was just 11pm, and I couldn’t code anymore, nor sleep, so started screwing around in Flash, and that was the result.
Are you looking at picoblogger or is there something else out there now (better)?
Man 200 emails an hour….is that an exageration?
Of course! It’s more like 31 an hour, half spam, half mailing lists.
