Having 2 mobile internet browsing devices, namely my iPod Touch and my Nokia E63. I use both of them to access the internet on the go. Namely, my E63 when I am on the train or bus where Wifi coverage is non existent and my iPod Touch when I have access to Wifi.
My E63 has wifi capability and also mobile internet access so that I can truly access the internet wherever I can get a mobile connection, so why don’t I use my E63 when I have access to wifi? Well, the reasons are
1) My iPod Touch and my E63 have the same screen resolution of 320 x 480, but my iPod Touch has double the mobile screen estate which makes browsing a breeze since I do not have to do so much scrolling when I am surfing websites
2) The Safari browser on my iPod Touch is light years better than Nokia’s default browser and also much better than Opera Mini which I have installed on my E63
With the recent announcement of huge losses made by Nokia. Perhaps, I would advocate that Nokia get their marketing guys to get out of the building and find out what their customers really want, so that they can stem this huge financial blood loss.
1 of Nokia’s strengths is in distribution, but this can’t help them if they still don’t get their act back together.
