Sony Ericsson MBW-200 Review
About Sony Ericsson MBW-200
Not long ago Sony Ericsson announced its second Bluetooth watch, called MBW-200, this time the target audience are the ladies. Like the MBW-150, its main purpose is to discretely inform you of incoming calls (with caller ID) and messages via vibration. The device can also control your phone’s music player and display track information, but cannot adjust the volume. The MBW-200 is available in three variants: Sparkling Allure, Contemporary Elegance and Evening Classic and no matter which one you choose, you get a week of Bluetooth usage with one charge, scratch resistant mineral glass face and water resistance of up to 3 ATM. The MBW-200 will be available in selected markets in Q4 of 2008.
The English review isn’t up yet but you can find the google translated review here

Did u Know?? i sure didn't..
1) The ringtone “Nokia tune” is actually based on a 19th century guitar work named “Gran Vals” by Spanish musician Francisco Tárrega. The Nokia Tune was originally named “Grande Valse” on Nokia phones but was changed to “Nokia Tune” around 1998 when it became so well known that people referred to it as the “Nokia Tune.”
2) The world’s first commercial GSM call was made in 1991 in Helsinki over a Nokia-supplied network, by Prime Minister of Finland Harri Holkeri, using a Nokia phone.
3) Nokia is currently the world’s largest digital camera manufacturer, as the sales of its camera-equipped mobile phones have exceeded those of any conventional camera manufacturer.
4) The “Special” tone available to users of Nokia phones when receiving SMS (text messages) is actually Morse code for “SMS”. Similarly, the “Ascending” SMS tone is Morse code for “Connecting People,” Nokia’s slogan. The “Standard” SMS tone is Morse code for “M” (Message).
5) The Nokia corporate font (typeface) is the AgfaMonotype Nokia Sans font, originally designed by Eric Spiekermann. Its mobile phone User’s Guides Nokia mostly used the Agfa Rotis Sans font.
6) In Asia, the digit 4 never appears in any Nokia handset model number, because 4 is considered unlucky in many parts of Southeast/East Asia.
7) Nokia was listed as the 20th most admirable company worldwide in Fortune’s list of 2006 (1st in network communications, 4th non-US company).
8. Unlike other modern day handsets, Nokia phones do not automatically start the call timer when the call is connected, but start it when the call is initiated. (Except for Series 60 based handsets like the Nokia 6600)
9) Nokia is sometimes called aikon (Nokia backwards) by non-Nokia mobile phone users and by mobile software developers, because “aikon” is used in various SDK software packages, including Nokia’s own Symbian S60 SDK.
10) The name of the town of Nokia originated from the river which flowed through the town. The river itself, Nokianvirta, was named after the old Finnish word originally meaning sable, later pine marten. A species of this small, black-furred predatory animal was once found in the region, but it is now extinct.
11) They also used to be a Rubber Boot manufacturer before they entered the wireless phone buisiness! Chek dis!! Courtesy Neon.
musing about the n95s v30 firmware
I don't know if it's just me, but along with the slew of features added with the latest firmware version v30 for the the N95-1 the phone seems to have lost all affinity for stability. The new features are cool indeed, but has Nokia overdone it so much that the phone can't cope with it's enhanced capabilities? Or is it just a minor bug in the firmware that'll get squashed with firmware v30.0.018 ? let's wait and see..

N96 is updated again !
After the v11.018 firmware that came out last month, Nokia has rolled out another update for their latest Nseries flagship, the Nokia N96. The latest update takes the firmware upto V11.101 and is available via the Nokia Software Updater as well as ‘over the air’ though i'd recommend a good data plan for that - besides being able to stay in range.
The update is available for most unbranded product codes, including the Euro ones. In case you want to check whether its available for your’s simply head over to this page.
