I’ve now had an N85 for a fortnight’s trial, thanks to Womworld. So, my overall thoughts. I’d orginally wanted it to see how well our eLearning tools work on it. Unfortunately, the VLE wasn’t that easy to navigate using it. It’s very much designed for a large screen (and uses frames), so perhaps expecting it…

Happy 40th Birthday, mouse.
On 9th Dec 1968 Doug Engelbart demonstrated what was to become a mouse. Now, as I look round my desk, I have: A kitkat mouse (ball) Trackerball (which I prefer) Wacom tablet & wireless mouse (all 3 of these are connected to my PC) Tablet – trackpad & pointer – fingers also work (it generally…
N 85 – GPS
Managed to locate myself nicely on the map yesterday – it wasn’t so sure when we were walking & well away from any roads, but seemed fine when we were near roads….
N 85 – still getting online!
I thought that I’d more or less sorted out the certificate issue. I have found it now – in what appears to be the correct place … and, have managed to set it to “trusted” – which it wasn’t after I’d installed it. However, the other day I found a place where I could define…
N 85 – getting online.
I’ve been trying to get it onto the University Wireless – requires WPA2 etc., also need to have certificate – which I was able to get onto the phone … and to “save”, though not quite sure whether “save” is the same as “install”. Home was fine – just had to enter the passphrase. Originally,…
N-85 Transferring things & more on the TV.
I decided to try to copy my contacts list from my phone to the N85, it all seemed to go smoothly, the Nokia PC Suite moved the contacts etc. However, when I then wanted to send a text, it wanted to know the message centre. I guess were you to get one on contract, with…
N-85 TV
Just been testing the video – by watching a BBC trailer. Very impressed! Now wondering how I find iPlayer. I’d been wondering how I selected whether I was using my SIM card to connect to 3G, or the wifi connection when going online. I’ve now realised that when I go straight to the Internet, it…
N85 – first thoughts.
Once I’d figured out how, exactly, to get the SIM card in – I then tried to get online. It did tell me it was on the Wifi network at home – though when I was browsing, it continually had a “G” in the top corner – which made me wonder how it was actually…
Nokia N85
I’ve just got mine on trial from http://www.womworld.com – am going to see what it makes of my pay-as-you-go card later on (lets hope that it’s charged, as the charger in the box is EU – while I have a US adapter for my OLPC, all my EU ones are at home. )…
