Nokia combat battery life problem


The below post is taken from Pat Phelen’s Blog and i’ll definately be queueing up to get one, considering i’d quite happily prefer to leave home without clothes rather that with my mobile working. On my old 8800 i used to carry around 2 spare batteries everywhere i went cause it could rarely last the day without charging.

From Pat’s Blog:

One area which is going seriously backwards in an industry which is moving forwards at breakneck speed is batteries.
Nokia appear to be one of the first companies to address this with a press release today informing us of the imminent launch of Nokia Power Pack DC-1.

“A busy lifestyle means you may not always be conveniently near a power outlet when you need one – but now you can be. The Nokia Power Pack DC-1 has reserve power in a pretty and portable package, so you can take the equivalent of up to three batteries** with you and recharge your mobile device when you most need it. Compatible with Nokia 2mm charging interfaces, the power pack has two charge output cables so you can easily charge two devices at the same time. Available globally, it will cost an estimated 105 euro, without taxes”

So you can leave your multiple batteries at home, this charger gives you the equivalent of three batteries, excellent move by Nokia

Pricey Picture Frames


Whats with the price of picture frames nowadays? I wanted to pic up a frame for a piece of art i bought, called into the local frame warehouse near the office, where they wanted to charge me 112 euro’s which seem fairly steep. So i looked online and there seems to be very little by means of online retailers selling standard sized large picture frames. That has to be a decent business oppertunity for someone out there!

Bulgaria number 1 on CheapChatUK


BULGARIA took over as our number 1 destination through CheapChatUK, whats surprising about this is that we’ve never marketed to Bulgaria directly so its growing purely on word of mouth. 4p via our 08449250020 access number clearly is causing a lot of people to talk.
