CTIA Logo

I’m at the big CTIA Wireless trade show in Orlando this week as the guest of WOMWorld/Nokia.  The event doesn’t start until tomorrow but, thanks to a couple of huge pre-show announcements, it’s already shaping up as an especially interesting show this year. Yesterday, AT&T announced that it is acquiring  T-Mobile USA.  The match-up, if it passes regulatory review, would make AT&T the largest US operator. As a long time satisfied T-Mobile customer who also briefly used AT&T a few years … Continue reading →

E7 In personalized ackaging signed By Steven Elop

Click image to enlarge I received a Nokia E7 for review yesterday from WOMWorld/Nokia. I’ve been looking forward to some extensive hands on with this phone since I first saw it at Tech.Ed in Berlin last October.

But the phone’s screen was displaying a Tweet I sent … Continue reading →

Symbian’s Robust Enterprise Security

Posted on by

L to R; Me, Mike Maddaloni, Craig Richards,  Teemu Lehtonen. At Microsoft Tech.Ed in Berlin last week, Mike Maddaloni (thehotiron.com), Craig Richards  (geekcomputers.co.uk) and I sat down with Nokia’s Teemu Lehtonen.  The topic was Symbian security, something Teemu knows a thing or two about having worked primarily in that area for most of the 12 years he’s been with Nokia. Teemu outlined the Symbian security model which he called the most secure in the industry. It starts with the hardware. … Continue reading →
