Nokia N95

In august of 2007, I decided to buy myself a new mobile phone. One of the criteria was that it had to have a decent camera. My eyes were on the Nokia N-series as they seemed to be on the cutting edge of cameras. So one day I decided to go buy myself a Nokia N95. I did a lot of research online as I wanted to be sure before spending that kind of money on a phone. And to be honest, there weren’t a lot of bad reviews out there, most were positive and even enthusiastic.

At the same time, or almost at least. I had signed up for a Facebook account and had started a blog, as I had understood that that was all the rage. I didn’t know what to do with either but in my mind I know it would open new doors and sure it would!

Socialmedia

The N95 was a smartphone in its own right, and I soon discovered an (almost) endless applications for it. So after signing up for Jaiku [A much better microblog than Twitter, sadly enough bought by Google that killed it] and connecting with some of the Nokia bloggers there, I realized that I could also do that. So I started an N95 specific blog at Vox [N95expert, sadly enough I didn’t save the content from it]. At the same time, I got connected with a lot of the early adopters of Social Media in Sweden…
