One day at a time

Had the E63 for a couple of week now and the shine has definitely begun to rub off this particular gadget.   The phone itself functions adequately and I like having the full keyboard to type SMS and enter details into the phone. What I am less impressed with it the applications.   Nokia has a very long way to go if they hope their OVI store is to compare with the Apple App store. The reality of using this application and the lack of really useful applications in the store is something of a waste of time.   The first time that I sync'd my new phone with the details that I had previously stored on OVI from my old phone, wiped out all the new information and replaced it with out of date information - well done OVI ! (not)   I have done loaded and installed a couple of applications from OVI, none of which have actually worked properly on my E63, so you won't be surprised to hear that they are no longer on the phone.   I am disappointed by my experience wit...

File:NOKIA E63.jpg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I have upgraded one of my phones to the Nokia E63 and my initial reaction has been very positive. The full keyboard is handy, but it does take a while to get used to, having been used to typing on a numeric keyboard. The phone uses Symbian as it's operating system and there are lots of applications out there written for it. Already have mapping, navigation, wifi finding and emailing applications up and running.

Sydney Opera House - The Mikado I will be attending a performance of the Mikado in Sydney in late September to celebrate my birthday. I will be spending three days in the city and the highlight will be a night at the Opera House. Blogged with the Flock Browser

Glasshouse Mountains Queensland - Queens Birthday June 2009

9 June 2009 Driving and shopping was the main events of the day. Started by driving up to Maroochydore to the closest shopping centre (although there were plenty of shops on the way there). Had breakfast and then decided to drive south to the DFO in Brisbane as we couldn't find what we were looking for. After another drive, we found the DFO at the Brisbane airport and spent the rest of the afternoon (and some money) there. Drove back and after a spot of food shopping, began to prepare for the trip home tomorrow. We finished off the evening with a lovely Indian meal in Caloundra, before retiring back to the hotel.

Monday 8 June 2009 Waited for Sox and Doug to arrive at the hotel and then went for breakfast with them in Caloundra. They took us out the the Glass Mountains ranges and through various towns there. We saw some great scenery and ate far too much (in fact so much that we didn't bother with dinner this evening). Had a very quiet evening in the hotel room and I did some work on my assignment.

Sunday 7th June Had breakfast at the hotel, which was a very full buffet. This included self-serve pancake from a pancake making machine. After filing up over breakfast, we went into the town centre and walked along the main street. There was a market on in the town and this was interesting to see what was on offer in the various stalls, afterwards we wandered along the beach front, before returning to the hotel via the local shopping centre. In the afternoon, we drove up to Eumundi, where there is a famous glass gallery. Had late lunch up there too, nothing too healthy. On the way back to the hotel we stopped off at Bunnings and did a spot of shopping. We both bought something to take back to Melbourne. I hope that I can get mine into my luggage. In the evening, we went to one of the local Mexican restaurants and although I wasn't impressed with my meal, Campbell really enjoyed his.
