New Phone Fun!

Posted on August 10th, 2005 at 4:27 pm

So I have my new phone now, and its great! The coverage of 3 in my area is fine and I’ve only dropped the signal once, where my previous Orange phone didn’t work either.

6630 Nokia

So far I’ve uploaded a screensaver, Bust-A-Move, Yahtzee, Minesweeper, mp3s, movies and some file utilities. I can now convert any movie formats to the 3gp format the phone uses.

I’ll be adding a utitity called OggPlayer which will plays music in the ogg format, which is half the size of an mp3.

I’ve also downloaded a game called The Journey II which apparently needs you to leave the house to play it, I’ll explain more if I get it to work.

Finally, I need some help choosing my ringtone. Here are a few I’ve made from tracks off CDs. What one should I use?

Presence - Favour Nothing
Krome and Time - Sounds of the Underground
John Arnold - Respectall
Oliver Ho - Sacred Object

I like ‘Presence’ best but I think ‘Krome..’ and ‘Oliver..’ seem yourself….

Call me old fashioned, but I reckon you can’t go wrong with a traditional “ring ring”!!

It’s a funny looking phone mate, but I think you’ve made the right move keeping with Nokia! My Motorola v600 looked alright to start off with but it’s actually really crap. Texting is so painful I rarely do it these days.

I’ve gotta choose a new one this month and I’m going back to Nokia, may also switch to Vodafone too as Orange is crap cross-country on my drive to work!
