Nokia E61
My new toy, Nokia E61, the supposingly Blackberry-killer from Nokia. Got this yesterday and took sometime to play with it :-) I love the full keyboard. It is actually usable! (and does not take too long to get used to) I also like the big screen. I feels really good to read email on such […]

Copper wire as fast as fiber?
A bit late but still interesting enough to repost here: Scienists found a way to squeeze more bits onto the copper that it is as fast as fiber. See Copper wire as fast as fiber? The group hopes that the answer will be found in the use of Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) to boost DSL […]
