Un-branded 1200 mAh BL-5F Nokia N95 battery

Un-branded 1200 mAh BL-5F Nokia N95 battery - gersbo.dkA while back "Jon" - a reader of this blog - posted several comments on my N95-battery-tips post about getting a 1200 mAh battery for his N95. The orginal battery supplied with the N95 is 950 mAh - a little bit on the low side considering the poweful capabilities of the N95 (hence the N95-battery-tips post).

The battery is un-branded and available through ebay retailer "battery-trading".

I decided to order one of these batteries too and it arrived while I was away on vacation last week. All together it cost me £10 to have the battery shipped to Denmark.

I will charge the battery during tomorrow and report back on its performance…stay tuned!

More battery images after the jump.

BlogPlanet limitations

Using BlogPlanetWhen writing my previous post about the BlogPlanet mobile blog editor, I encountered some weird limitations.

For some reasons - maybe the SX1 origins of the app? - there are restrictions on the length of both post text (1000 characters) and titles (128 characters).

But composing blog posts with T9 is actually quite nice…

Here is a link to an overview of how to set up BlogPlanet with different blogging platforms.

Tip: Use BlogPlanet's dictionary for text templates, e.g. a templates for links, inserting images etc.

Using BlogPlanet for N95 moblogging

BlogPlanet blog editor for Symbian S60 - gersbo.dkFor a while I have been interested in finding some sort of setup that will enable me to blog from my mobile phone. Surprisingly, there does not seem to be that many options for S60.

But I think I have found something that works - it is a blog editor called 'BlogPlanet'. BlogPlanet is a J2ME app that appears to be originally made for the Siemens SX1 phone. It features very basic text editing like bold, italic and line breaks.

BlogPlanetSadly, BlogPlanet seems to disable copy-pasting text.

BlogPlanet is also capable of capturing images using the phone's camera - images which can then be inserted into posts. Note however, that there is no access to the phone's own picture gallery - BlogPlanet rolls its own…

BlogPlanet supports Blogger and MetaWeblogAPI, which means it can be used with WordPress (including image uploads).

This post is written and published using BlogPlanet and I think the biggest problem is the tedious text input. I expect to get hold of a bluetooth keyboard soon (Nokia SU-8W or iGo/Stowaway).

Sober mini review of the iPhone

Well, if you know this guy, you will probably appreciate his unbiased, comparative analysis of the iPhone versus his Nokia E70.

He has also written something about macs vs. PCs:

"After the recent Apple conference, Mac fans were elated. One person was quoted as saying "I've had a Macintosh now for a total of 35 days, and I'm really excited to be part of the Mac community." Part of the Mac community? It's a computer, not a social movement, asshole!"

Watch out for his site, though - once you pop, you can't stop…

6 GB miscroSD card for your N95

SanDisk - world leader among manufacturers of flash memory - has just launched a microSD (Secure Digital) card capable of storing 6 GB of data. I vividly recall when I got a new personal computer that featured a 20 MB hard drive. I was happy like a pig in dirt so to me, 6 GB is a lot of data.

The 6 GB card is for instance in stock at mymemory.co.uk (£36.99) and just about to be stocked at ProShop.dk (DKK 390,-).

In a situation like this, the question is always if this new card is compatible with your phone? Well, if your are the owner of a Nokia N95 (or N76) the answer is yes - not only is the 6 GB card included on SanDisk's list of N95 compatible memory cards, some very nice people have taken it upon themselves to get hold of a card to test it with a N95. The result can be seen in the image to the right…

I am glad I did not buy one of the 4 GB cards!

There is also an 8 GB microSD card in the pipeline and it looks as if the 8 GB will also work with the N95. That is nice for those of us that own an "old" N95 - even if we do not get the cool display of the 8 GB version of the N95, or the cool battery, or the cool amount of RAM, we are able to get the same amount of memory….
