Off to see Tom Watson MP

I'm off to see Tom Watson MP, the UK Minister for Digital Engagement, at a reception this evening. An invitation appeared in the post the other day so I RSVP'ed and set my mind open and to neutral. I wonder what the Government is doing about Digital Engagement - I shall soon hopefully find out.

The LG Cookie KP500

I have just taken delivery of one of LG's newest models, the KP500 'Cookie' handset. The last LG handset I actually used for any length of time was the LG Shine and LG Secret - a good 6-8 months ago. I'm on record as being deeply unimpressed at the 'insides' of the LG range (I think they need to open developer access as soon as they can). But the LG built quality is usually supremely high and your average normob usually thoroughly enjoys their LG handset experience. So I'm looking forward to being able to bring you a viewpoint shortly. Standby.

'You MUST try this now': Puska Radio

Just got this message in from a rather impressed MIR reader:

You MUST try this NOW. This is the coolest thing I've seen in ages. http://puskaradio.com. Install on an N95 or E71. Share your location with others via sms. The website can auto refresh and the map zooms. - - - - -
 
Alas I'm Nokialess at the moment. My current N95 8GB doesn't do data, if you recall. But if you get a chance, take a look and let me know what you think?

Screw it, I will publish them...

My mobile number is public, right? It's upon the site here and available on dozens of pages on the site -- and duplicated by tons of content scrapers all over the place. So I get a ton of weird nexts now and again, from depressed teenagers wanting to kill themselves (I recommended the Samaritans along with a bit of tough love) to folk hunting for discounted Nokia N90s. Instead of quietly remarking to myself, I am going to publish them anonymously from now on. Here's the first:

N95 8GB: Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer.

Ah dear. I dug out my N95 8GB the other day and charged it up. I was going to try and use the device more - as a camera (because if you recall it arrived from T-Mobile UK without data functioning). Well. I can't use it. Not at the moment. I've never seen this message on a Nokia before:

"Phone start-up failed. Contact the retailer."

Any suggestions on how to get it to work?
