Skint? Out of batteries? No problem. Add mobile@robertjohnkaper.com to your MSN list: I finally have got Sony Ericsson's "My Friends" instant messenger working on my (W810i) phone using my regular GPRS settings and a Smart VAS account (will try Yamigo another time). Wicked. This feature definitely beats having to use the WAP interface for eBuddy.com because it runs in the background and interacts with the regular event/alert functions of the phone, while having an optimised interface (T9-enabled) that simply means chat and click instead of having to enter form inputs and submitting them separately.
Rob's a happy mobile user tonight. IMPS rules!

New phone
- Posted by Rob (#1) on November 1, 2006 12:59 CET
Yesterday my phone died. It won't go beyond the startup screen anymore, entertaining itself with an endless loop of reboots. My K750i was my buddy for eighteen months but all good things come to an end.
I store my pictures and music on a memorystick so I didn't lose thosem but I frequently switch SIM cards abroad so I store all my contacts on the phone, which means my addressbook is now quite dull and empty. If I previously had your number, please be so kind to ring or text me so I can have it once again. You can also chat me up on MSN or leave me an e-mail (see my contact page).
Oh, the new phone is the Sony Ericsson W810i. Not much different from what I had, just a newer model with some small improvements.

Sony Ericsson K800i

(Note to self: rename Software category to Technology some day.)
I want the Sony Ericsson K800i. I'm extremely happy with my K750i but this new model has a bigger screen, better camera (3.2 megapixels!) and appears to fix my biggest annoyance: the joystick looks more robust and seems less prone to break down after extensive use. The phone also has tri-band support (so I could use it in the US next summer), UMTS and Bluetooth Stereo (finally, MP3s through a Bluetooth headset, I miss that so much in my current phone).
Unfortunately my KPN subscriptions lasts a while longer, so I'll have to keep using my K750i for a while. On the good side, by the time I have to renew I expect the first 5 megapixel camera phones.. maybe even with Ogg Vorbis support.
