Nokia 6133

Got myself a brand new phone, the Nokia 6133. The first thing that you’ll notice when you see it is the most amazing screen ever in your hand. It’s got a full 320×240 pixel and 16 million color display in 2.2 diagonal inches (5.6 cm for you people else where in the world). It also has a 1.3M pixel camera which is eh at best but being a photography guy anything but a SLR looks like garbage to me. The external display is slightly smaller then what you’d find on a typical cell at 1.36 diagonal inches (3.45 cm) and 128×160 pixels, which is a comparable resolution to other phones out there. After a bit of tinkering this external display always show an analog clock for me which makes it look sexy. The speed of the phone is impressive. Most phones there’s always some function or feature that annoys you because the phone lags. Whether it’s scroll through your contact list, or even getting your contact list or loading applications. None of that with this phone. It zips right along. Happily plays Snake III which is the totally revamped and 3D version of the popular Snake game. It supports multi-player via Bluetooth.

The only crummy part about this phone is that it doesn’t come with a standard miniUSB connector. It uses something proprietary from Nokia and pops out the top in a very poor place. The USB connector isn’t even available yet. The stereo headset connection is the same exact way, special connection via the same port on the top. But the upside is that the phone has Bluetooth and it happily talks with the Mac Mini at the office in the next room. So if I want to upload or download anything I just like the phone link up to the Mac Mini and ssh into it (since it’s not my machine nor in my office).

Now to find some free games for this thing since I certainly have no intention of paying T-Mobile $6 - $10 per game or a $3 month subscription to games. Along with the T-MobileWeb service for another $6 a month.
