IntoMobile reported a few interesting articles last week which have everything to do with the FREE future we are heading for. This week FREE power and FREE calls.

FREE power

… Solar powered cell phones have crossed over from imagination to reality. High Tech Wealth Electronics showed off its S116 cellphone at CeBIT to great fanfare. The device has a built-in solar cell that is capable of charging the battery with 30 minutes worth of juice after just 1 hour in the sun. A full charge can be expected after a 12 hour tanning session … read more >

This indeed should be the future. No charger needed anymore when traveling. Great, now we only need more efficiency coming out of the solar silicon.

FREE calls - FREE VoIP

A European company, started by a former Nokia president, wants to give all mobile phones access to free Voice Over IP services on their planned network. Well, nothing is really free in life, and neither is this service. The VOIP service will be “free” as long as you are willing to have advertising thrown at you left and right. An acceptable price?

 Actually quite a straight forward idea. As long as they keep sending these marketing messages under the same “sender number” we should be able to block them. Let us see.

Ever since I have purchased my first Nokia e61 the catalogs feature actually never worked. When opened I get standard the message -No Catalogs. Select Options/Refresh list to download-. And after refreshing as instructed, no change, no list, and basically the same message keeps sitting in front of me. So far I have not really cared as I never felt I was missing anything.

First I thought it was maybe an operator related issue, however, whether I try to update through GPRS or WiFi it does not seem to matter.

Anyone any ideas about this one? Just let me know.

Morange has been upgraded to version 2.7.0. Mainly the email application in Morange got a thorough facelift this next to some cosmetics in terms of navigation. As such the email application matured especially in having a better overview of the email itself when you are composing a new one. Try it out. Please also refer to earlier posts.

Babi at babinokia.com came up with a great theme called WoodElf. The theme presents a mysterious elf hiding in the woods. The theme is great especially due to the choice of colors.

What many others already knew I had to found out the hard way, that is, YAHOO web hosting is crap in many ways. The service offered is dreadfully slow and heavily outdated, making the maintenance of any weblog no fun at all. As an example: I have been waiting for months now for an upgrade of Wordpress to version 2.1.x. It is simply not done.

Moved over in the meantime to BLUEHOST and it works like a charm.
