Yesterday was THE DAY. All technoratis, Darla, Stefan and other glitteratis were there. Yahootinis were yoomy. First I had a glass of red vine followed by Yahootini (Yahoo sponsored martini bar. I wanted to talk to Darla for a few minutes but a certain person (whose nipples were sticking through his shirt… NOT COOL) was all over my Diva. Maybe at next event I’ll get a chance. Unfortunately for me I got there an hour late (the traffic in Chicago was a b…tch) but the event was still nice. After two drinks I was a bit “tipsy” so my friend and I started talking to a fabulous local gal. The bling bling on her finger could work as a landing beacon at O’Hare. The icing of the cake of course were the phones. 6110 Navigator phone, N75, N76, N77 and E90. Navigator was nice although there was no GPS signal inside so I did not get a chance to test the speed of satellite acquisition. Next was N77; very nice (N73 lookalike) but again since it has DVB-H which is not available on this continent I could not test the toy. Next in line was N75 - after reading other people’s reviews I was expecting a chunky phone. Surprisingly it’s not as bad as I thought. One thing I disliked about it was the flip hinge. It felt quite flimsy (I get a feeling it will be loose after a month or two of use) but otherwise the phone was quite decent. Then there was N76 - RED…devilish…SO SCANDINAVIAN looking with it’s square slanted edges. Contrary to N76 the hinge on this one felt like it would stand a Hummer running over it (wait…I think someone has already done it if I remember correctly). And the last one was E90… OH BABY…the inner screen is HUGE and gorgeous. This device is not intended for the N-crowd. It seems a bit smaller than 9300 series but still quite sizable piece of chunk. It’s simply designated for the business crowd. The ultimate device would be N95 with dual slider (Helio’s Ocean type).

At the end was the best part… N95 drawing (some guy got that one…go to my flickr pics to see) and the goodie bags… Now that was a nice treatment. Just about four days ago I was looking on eBay for Nokia BT keyboard but could not justify spending $130 on it. Guess what… I got one for free. THANKS NOKIA :-). Another MALE goodie bag had Nokia Digital Pen. Since my friend had no use for it…i scored two freebies. The digital pen allows you to take notes on a special notepad and then send them either to your PC or to your phone. From phone you can send them as MMS. Nice feature. I think I’ll have some time with it. So overall I had a nice time, people were friendly and one nokia employee (I’m sorry I don’t remember your name) remembered me and was very nice and asked me if Nokia and I kissed and made up. I could say that - although I do have to say again and again - It’s the BAD service center (outsourced by Nokia) that turned this whole issue into a hell. So on this note (with my digital pen :-) ) I hope another event like this will take place in Chicago again.
