Guess who finally won a contest? Yes, I have an E7 on the way


Remember that Nokia Care US video tip contest I mentioned a couple weeks ago? Well, guess what? The Twitter voting ended up with 12 selections being made and I won the contest based on the judge’s voting! Yes, that’s right I will finally be getting a Nokia E7 so I can cover it here on Nokia Experts. I have been asking for an evaluation unit since Nokia World last year and I guess my posts about Nokia and some of their ridiculous actions (or inactions) might have put me on the review blacklist ;)

I am looking forward to testing it out and sure hope it ends up with Anna soon because at this time I really find Symbian devices without Anna to be way below what other smartphones offer. I do still like my Nokia devices for the outstanding call quality and reception, long battery life, wonderful cameras, and more, but they really need to step it up soon.

Let me know what you would like for me to test out on the E7 and I will include it in my upcoming articles.

Enter the Nokia US support video contest by 16 May


Enter the Nokia US support video contest by 16 MayNokia has been running a lot of contests and Nokia Experts readers seem to have pretty good luck at winning so I wanted to share a US-based contest going on now that has five days left to enter. The Nokia Care US contest is accepting videos that show different “How-tos” for Nokia devices in just three minutes. The contest deadline is 16 May, next Monday.

I entered the video embedded below (it was tough to cut it to 3 minutes and get all the steps in there) that shows how to enjoy Amazon Video On Demand movies and Zune Pass music on your Nokia device. I thought it was timely given that Windows Phone 7 will eventually be on Nokia hardware so using the method I described you can get a glimpse of the Zune Pass functionality on your Nokia device. My video is now in the contest playlist and next week they will Tweet out the voting start with directions on how to vote.

Voting starts 17 May and goes through 24 May so I will post again when it starts so you can all vote for my video if you think it is worthy. Voters also have a chance to win a Nokia N8 so it is in your best interest to vote as well. Remember, you can only vote once during the voting period so make it count ;)

The grand prize is a Nokia E7 and if I win I will post a review of the device here since I have yet to get a loaner eval unit and have only seen it at Nokia World last year. The runner-up prize is a Nokia Astound, which I would also love to win and would follow up here with more articles on that device.

Here is a look at my video entry again too:

Thanks everyone and best of luck to all entrants, many of them are my friends so whoever wins deserves it as there are some great tips in there.

Rubus by Pootermobile

Pootermobile is back again with a slick new BlackBerry theme called Rubus. As always Poots had his thinking cap on when he designed this theme, and he added some innovative features that aren’t found elsewhere. For example, he kept Universal Search on the home screen, which many other theme developers have removed. What really sets Rubus apart from the others is the addition of widgets, which allow you to add or remove the calendar, weather slot, and icons on the home screen. The ability to customize a theme to your liking right on your device is really cool!
Other features include:

  • Customizable icons on home screen – (5 for keyboard devices, 8 for touchscreen devices, 4 for the BlackBerry Style)
  • Weather widget 1st position in the applications screen – (weather application of your choice required but not included)
  • Widgets Options Page – click the options icon on the bottom left banner
  • Universal search on home screen – (only for devices running BlackBerry 6)
  • Wallpaper friendly
  • No carrier
  • Transitions throughout
  • Trackpad on the home screen for the Torch has been disabled because of a conflict in the Widgets page.

Compatible devices include BlackBerry: 8900 (Curve), 8910 (Curve), 8930 (Curve), 8980 (Curve), 9000 (Bold), 9500 (Storm), 9530/9530T (Storm), 9550/9520 (Storm2), 9630 (Tour), 9650 (Bold), 9670 (Style), 9700 (Bold), 9780 (Bold), 9800 (Torch)

External Contest: Looxcie – the wearable bluetooth camcorder


The Looxcie is personally one of my favorite products from 2010.  It is a bluetooth headset that also records video.   This is not the high definition incredible clarity video – not in the least.  The choices are a resolution of 240 or 480.  Shooting in 240 allows you to continuously shoot for up to 5 hours of footage.  480 cuts the amount of filming down to just shy of 2 hours.

The Looxcie has been a great product for my fiancee and I these last few weeks.  You may or may not be aware of the fact that we just had a premature baby (almost 9 weeks early).  Due to his early birth he has been in the Neonatal ICU.  The NICU has a number of rules in place to protect the babies staying there.  Cell phones are banned from use as they are a breeding ground for germs.

Cameras are allowed but it isn’t necessarily always convenient to have a micro 4/3rds camera on your person when trying to take care of a very small little baby.  This is where the Looxcie shines the brightest.  I can place the Looxcie on my ear in recording mode and it will capture all the adorable little faces he makes.

The other time that I absolutely love the Looxcie is when I am at a trade show or any other event that may cause me to need to remember who I met, what we discussed, or any number of scenarios.  The Looxcie allowed me to keep track of the different exhibits that I made it to throughout our time at CES.

Here is your chance to get your very own Looxcie.  Between now and March 13th, Looxcie is giving away one unit per week.  You will have to go to their Facebook here to enter.  Good Luck

gPad Remote Contest Winners Announced, Heres what we Heard


I think we did pretty good. You guys gave us all some really great ideas and even confirmed some of the things I though we should work on. We greatly appreciate your feed back.

Some of the most popular responses were based towards seeing more application reviews and comparisons. This is very easy to accommodate, and I will do my best to deliver a couple of Apps/Games per day. Having so many wonderful applications available in the markt it is hard to sometimes find a good one.  Would you guys be O.K. with one good application or game review coupled with a few Quick Looks a day? Let me know.

Another top response was more tutorials and ways to not only improve your current rooted phone but ways to improve your non rooted phone. Tutorials are very feasible. I am confident we can get the information together for our readers and deliver it in an easy to follow post. Are there any specific tutorials you would like to see done first? With regards to the non rooted improvements. That aspect does become a little tricky. Really, the only thing available for non rooted devices are applications. I can try and find more applications that will give you a new look and feel (ADW.Launcher EX) , most of the time though root is recommended and required for a lot of the greatest mods out.

Video reviews and tutorials came up a lot too. The only complication we currently have with providing more of these is lack of a descent camera to do it and someone that can make it happen often. I have wanted this same thing for a while. If we can get a good camera to make them happen consistently, we will.  We have a YouTube channel available for your viewing pleasure. If you were unaware of it, here it is.

A legacy section has run through our mind a few times. I still have my trusty G1 sitting right here on my desk and tinker with it every once and while. I will see what I can do to bring something for those of you still sporting it, forward every now and again.

Oddly enough, a podcast has also come up in team conversation. We have all wanted to set this up too. It is something we have been working out the kinks for. I can’t confirm nor deny that it is coming, but we are definitely on board with giving it a shot sometime in the future.

Last but not least, grammar and punctuation. That seemed to come up a few times also. I know I am not an English major. At times I really wish I was. Although the suggestion of improving our grammar and punctuation was something we expected to hear, no one gave us any ideas on how to improve it. Even though the contest for this give-a-way is over, we still greatly value your input. If you have and applications or resources that would help up personally, please share in the comments or send us an email.

There were a lot of really great ideas. We are looking into how we might be able to support some of the other ideas that were presented to us.

Contrary to popular belief, we do read every single email that is sent to us. I know we have many readers out there can verify that we get back to people when ever possible. I have even added people to my GChat. Don’t ever hesitate to contact us for any reason. I recently helped someone solve their issues with the Samsung Vibrant, now they are loving and enjoying Android.

The winners have all been contacted via email when possible, others were contacted via Twitter and Facebook. I have heard from nearly all of the winners, but am still waiting on a good hand full of you to get back to me. If you haven’t, for some strange reason, checked your email please do so. The sooner I hear back from everyone, the sooner I can send off for your personalized activation codes.

Stay tuned to AndroidSPIN, we have an ADW theme contest running right now and later this week I will have another application from MOBiSTERS to offer everyone.

Ovi Daily App announces six 2010 software contest winners


Back in mid-December I let you know about the Ovi Daily App Must Have Apps contest and I was informed that Nokia has announced the winners and are working on notifying the winner of the N8. The N8 winner was selected from the group of people who correctly picked the six winning apps and it was definitely not me.

The six winning apps were as follows:

  • Game: Doodle Jump
  • Business/Productivity: Mobile Documents
  • Entertainment: Touchnote Postcards
  • Music: Shazam
  • Social networking: Gravity
  • Utilities: Joikuspot WiFi Hot Spot

I picked 4 out of 6, but missed the Mobile Documents and Touchnote Postcards apps. I actually just installed Mobile Documents thanks to Rita’s recommendation, but have never tried the Touchnote Postcards app.

Did any readers pick all six of these correctly?

Enter the Ovi Daily App 2010 Must Have Apps contest to win a Nokia N8


I LOVE applications and now that the Ovi Store is good on the Nokia N8 I am downloading and purchasing more and more on my device. To celebrate the end of the year and figure out what your favorite Symbian apps are Nokia is holding a fantastic online event called the Ovi Daily App Must Have App of the Year Awards. You can vote for apps in the event from now until 31 December 2010 and by casting your vote you are entering a contest to win a Nokia N8. They will pick from all of those who correctly pick all six winning apps and that device will have those six apps. Check out the contest video below.

Apps are nominated in the following categories: Games, Social Networking, Music, Entertainment, Utilities, and Business & Productivity. Five apps are nominated in each category. I voted for my favorite apps and hope to win a Nokia N8 too.

The winning apps will be announced on 5 January 2011. Keep in mind that the apps for this year’s contest are compatible with Symbian S60 5th Edition devices because that was the main high end operating system this year so you won’t see some Symbian^3 compatible apps. This explains why I did not see Angry Birds in the game category or that would have been the easy winning selection.

Go vote now and good luck everyone. Voting only takes a couple of seconds as you choose your favorite apps in the survey and give them your email address so they can contact you if you win.

Contest: mProductive To Do List for BlackBerry – 25 copies to be won!


mProductive

Ryan did an in depth review of mProductive by Basis Design last week. I think the general consensus from the comments was it looks like a nice app and possibly a good time saver, but it’s a bit on the expensive side, even with a trial available. Well, folks, this is your lucky day. If you’re interested in mProductive for your BlackBerry, read on!

To recap, mProductive is advertised as the "ultimate BlackBerry to do list and time management application". The app manages your next actions, priorities and projects all through a single interface to your BlackBerry Task List, Calendar, Memo pad, emails, calls and sms. Also I’d like to point out that mProductive was awarded a Regional Selection in the 2010 BlackBerry Partners Fund Super Apps Developer Challenge. While mProductive is available for a wide variety of devices, there is no Torch support at this time. (Don’t shoot the messenger, it’s likely in a future update folks.)

Contest: To celebrate the release of mProductive on CrackBerry we have been given 25 copies to give away. Just leave a comment letting us know what you like most about mProductive or how you’re planning to use it and you’ll be automatically entered in the drawing to win one of 25 free copies. One entry per person please; contest ends this Sunday at Midnight PST.

Nine Days Left To Enter in the NASA + Etsy Space Craft Contest


Given the dwindling number of launches before the end of the program in 2011, if you’ve ever wanted to attend a shuttle launch now is the time. Even better if you can win an all-expenses-paid trip. To that end, Etsy and NASA have teamed up to offer a contest to create art that captures the awe and excitement of NASA’s space exploration. The grand prize will get you and a guest to the Kennedy Space Center for a VIP tour, shuttle launch viewing and a $500 shopping spree on Etsy.com.

Though this contest started on October 12th, there’s still time to create a work and enter. From the announcement:

After 50 momentous years and over 130 missions to the cosmos, NASA’s Space Shuttle Program will draw to a close in 2011 as it reaches its long-term goal of completing the International Space Station. To honor the program and celebrate its many accomplishments, we’re calling for designs inspired by NASA, its programs and the wonders of space exploration. Invigorate your inner maker with all that is known (and unknown) about our universe.

So get on board! There are three categories under which to enter your design(s):

  • 2D Original Art (painting, drawing, hand-pulled print, mixed media or flat collage)
  • 2D Art Reproduction (photographic or computer-generated print)
  • 3D Art (any size or material — this includes anything not 2D, wearable art and soft sculpture are acceptable)

Enter the contest here. Good luck and godspeed!
