A note from Nokia reps this week informs us that the Nokia viNe application will be rolled out of Beta soon... possibly even this week. viNe is a web service that enables users of the application to share their journeys, along with media collected along the way. As a long-time Sports Tracker user, N95 enthusiasts, and evangelist of all things mobile and geospatial, I was provided with a pre-release version of viNe - details and a complete "How To" install and use the application are provided... enjoy! Enter Nokia viNe 101
It was back in June 2008 that the E71 was officially released to the public - the selling points for the E71 were a sleek, stylish do-it-all device that came with Mail for Exchange mobile email client - pre-loaded with the Nokia E71. Actually, the device boasted much much more than these attributes as you'll see below in my findings after having the pleasure of making the E71 my main device for 3 weeks... enjoy the recap, the images and the videos!

The latest version offers loads of updates and a whole new look and feel... most
notably,
how about one-click transfer of music from your CDs?
Other things you can do with PC Suite include:
connect your phone to the PC via Bluetooth, cable, or Infra red (IR). If your
PC or notebook doesn't have Bluetooth you can always get yourself a Bluetooth
aapter or dongle.
backup data from your phone. The PC Suite backup app enables users to create
a backup of almost anything you keep on your mobile device. this is a very handy
utility to have for when you get that new device. Imagine this... backup all your
contacts and data from the old device, then restore on your new phone.
restore data to your phone from a backup. Its a good ide to generate a backup
before you ever try to update your device firmware
transfer data (photos, files, videoes. or ??)
synchronize your PC contacts and email with your mobile
synch your calendar
install software. This is a convenine method to install games and other apps,
rather than downloading installation files OTS (particularly if you pay for data
transfers)
while on the road without Internet access of WiFi you can connect your PC to
the Internet via phone connection. Keep in mind you'll want to be within reach
of your carrier's coverage otherwise you may be subject to some crazy roaming
fees... careful with this one!

create and send messages on your PC using your mobile
view and convert videos to a mobile compatible format
store images... a fast and simple method to move images off your mobile and onto
your PC

application rips music from a CD and converts it to a mobile optimized AAC+ format.

user guide and spend a few minutes watching the companion tutorial video clips...
very useful!
