Share on Ovi: Flickr Killer?

That’s me - with my magnetic personality with butterflies, uploaded at the Singapore Zoo via Share on Ovi.
It’s no secret that Nokia announced its entry into the Web 2.0 Services with Ovi last August 2008. Around February of this year, Share on Ovi was launched, which is basically their competitor to Flickr. Share on Ovi […]

Heysan is a desktop application workaround to the most popular IM clients. One way to use this would be as a subversive firewall rerouter for instant mesaging. Another way would be to log onto the mobile site for free use of instant messaging - of course, telco data services apply.

Roaming, But Not!

I’ve been out of the country three times last year to different parts of Asia. Activation of roaming is automatic for post paid lines on my network.
