I just got a brand spankin’ new Nokia E62 and I must say this phone is impressive. I haven’t used a Nokia since I had an ugly shoe phone 4 years ago and have been using a Sony Ericsson T637 for about 3 years so this phone was quite a change for me. I promptly setup my Gmail account and then copied all my contacts off my SIM card only to discover that there were duplicate entries for a few contacts. I found that it had made my contacts First Last /M or /H for home or mobile. Not clean at all. I needed to sync this with my Mac and I found an entry @ FreeBSDGirl that explained how to use iSync with your E62 and this worked flawlessly. Update: the Nokia E62 now syncs natively with OS X 10.4.9. I now have iCal and Address book in harmony again and that is nice. Also while browsing her blog, I found that she had PuTTY. This was a bit to get used to, but after playing with settings (and remembering what port I’m runnning SSH on) for a while I got connected to my server. This is going to be extremely handy. I have a few ideas for a few scripts I’d like to have and if they are any good, I’ll share them. So far, this phone is great and as I learn more about it I’ll be sure to share. So far, I’ve installed Google Mobile Maps and PuTTY for Symbian OS [Larger fonts for PuTTY]. Naturally, I’m on the lookout for some other cool applications so comment if you know of any others! Here are some other links that may be of interest: Shortcuts and secret codes and last but not least, an excellent blog on the E-Series phones.
