The Nokia E75 Journal: Day 3

My Day 2 with the phone was inexplicably positive, I never thought I'm going to like the phone having used touchscreen device that have a wider screen like the 5530 XpressMusic but I'm liking the E75 at the moment. Its the overall package that mattered, the built quality, QWERTY, sliding mechanism, etc and that is why I never feel like using my other phones at the moment and just enjoy as much as I can with its best features. c",

Waking up with my Nokia E75 for the 2nd time, downloaded a funny wake up alarm from a friend last night so it made the alarm event less annoying and it works positively well since it gave me a perfect early morning mode to do my jog around the rice field routine. Yes, about 250 steps from my house have a vast rice field, so my place is really a typical small town haha, and with me was my E75 of course to provide me with Music, Step Counter and a bit of flashlight. I'm using the Step Counter rather than the Sports Tracker because it doesn't need internet connection to fully utilized its features.

Anyways, I find the phone uncomfortable to use during the jog, it fells awkward to use as it weights heavier than my usual accompaniment, 5530 XpressMusic, and it bulge in my pocket causing a bit of destruction, well, the phone is definitely not design for this scenario so its acceptable in general concept.

Preparing for work, worth noting here that after an hour of rigorous music and Step Counter, E75 battery life feared well without spending a single bar, again another proof that the phone can manage power consumption efficiently than my other phones.

Then again my usual morning routine, send SMS, check my emails and tweets using EDGE. Did you know that the E75's email client cannot specifically identify your email's username and the number of emails you receive on the General page unlike the Messaging client on 5530 XpressMusic and N82? Like in my case, I have 6 registered emails on Nokia Messaging Service, two Ovi Mail account, two Gmail Account and two Yahoo account, what the phone does is only display the logo of the email provider without username underneath and the number of emails receive, instead it will only show Ovi Mail (1), Ovi Mail (2), for each account and that you need to open each to know which of the two receive the email, unless of course you set this accounts on the Homescreen. A bit unpleasant actually for a Flagship messaging device but other than this, I have no others qualms since the Email Client works exceptionally well than that of the Java base and downloadable client for non E-Series devices.

Off to another boring work routine, yay! I hate it when Inspectors comes to the Clinic, they act obnoxious like what they are paid to do, its like there job to look and act ridiculous haha and I cant blame them if they come out stupid and abrade.

So, how does the Nokia E75 helps me in my job? I would say a bit, I don't get to used what it does best since I don't have unlimited internet service or unlimited data plan like other users, so the phone just serves me best as a communication and scheduler tool. The phone has an amazing contacts manager and calendar set up, it gives easy access to my business contacts, easy time management set up, syncing of files among others. The phones Document Editor, helps a lot of people in corporate set up but I don't think its applicable to me since I have a PC that serves as my main encoding device and again, have no unlimited internet service and data plans.

There can never a viand that tops "Tinolang Isda" (fish soup? in English). It's my favorite dish during lunch, its healthy and nutritious. I like it to be drench on my rice rather than sipped it through a cup or bowl.

I cant seemed to find fault on the phone at the moment. All seems to work well, the sliding mechanism locks and clicks very well, in fact I find it fun to slide the QWERTY in and out specially after I set a tone for each vim.

Back to work.. turned the Music player on and play it via sound box. I really find the sound power of the phone minimal, I believe the N82 is even louder than this but when it comes to sound quality, E75 is better than the other. N82's sound seems to be a bit distorted when played in high volume while the E75 exudes a clear and crisp sound. I just don't like how Nokia place the sound box of the E75, putting it at the back of the phone seemed bizarre that it prevent tones to breath out specially when the phone is laid on the table as it usually been place when your in the office or anywhere else. Putting the soundbox on the sides would have been better.

Relaxing with my E75 on a humid evening, I don't like to watch television other than the local news so my usual routine would be with my phone or strolling around. I didn't feel like going out for a night round ala Batman since my body starts to ache as a result to my morning jog so I just stayed home and fiddle with the phone more. This time, touching the Games application that I never opened before. I have a few games .sisx and Java downloaded to the memory card to be installed and I have an N-Gage code to account for, free code that comes with the package, so it was be a busy night of fiddling.

Unfortunately, installing games wasn't what I expected it to be, the phone seemed choosy in the matter, it didn't install the games that I downloaded and in some cases, after the installation, the game doesn't run or opened so I was surprise. There where even 10 FREE Gameloft games that I downloaded and installed via Ovi Store but only 2 made it through, it says that the games were not compatible yet they are Java and the phone supports Java application. Even some N-Gage game won't play on the phone so it must have something to do with codecs or support software which lead me to conclude that the phone wasn't design for the matter. Nice try though, hopefully future E-Series phones could fully support all types of Games.

Retired for the day. I don't think that I am happy with the phone today specially after the unfavorable Game performance but then I also need to understand that the phone is not being marketed as a gaming device. Oh well its just my 3rd Day impression and my final verdict will wait a little longer to consolidate its overall hits and misses, as for now my learning experience continues with this Journal until rip off. Cheers!

Writing this journal using the phones word editor and QWERTY, hah! c",
