Embracing mobile, or am I?

by Ross Allchorn

Nokia e61iHaving recently been forced to relocate 1000 miles from where I’ve called home for the last 12 years, I’ve had to make some rather speedy amendments to my daily work schedule. The most notable of which is making far more extensive use of my Nokia e61i smart phone.

With 3G capabilities, I’ve hooked it up via bluetooth to my Toshiba Satellite notebook as a modem, but what I’ve discovered is that on it’s own, I don’t really need to lug my compu daypack around with me everywhere I go.

I’m able to browse the web pretty unhindered, including using gmail which I’ve effectively set up as my primary mail client (using allchorn.com) and using Fring for Skype and MSN.

What I wonder though is… At least at this point in time is, am I truly embracing mobile or is this phone a little ahead of the average? I’m sure phones will all get here eventually, but with a full qwerty keyboard… With Opera mini, Fring and Need for Speed all running on my phone… is this the new norm?
