First Nokia E61i Annoyance
Thursday, June 21, 2007 at 17:40
Not every device is perfect. Even the Nokia E61i has its faults.
I have a Jabra BT250V Bluetooth headset with my E61i, but the reception is terrible. As long as there's a line of sight between the phone and the headset everything is fine. As soon as I move a bodypart between the two, the reception goes berserk. Even when the Nokia is in my pocket, the reception is terrible. Also, sometimes the Bluetooth connection disappears. Even when the devices lie next to each other. This didn't happen with my older phone (the Nokia 6230i).
Perhaps it's the combination.. Perhaps not, but it's definitely annoying.
There are/were some other annoyances; like not being able to properly configure the Nokia VPN client with a Cisco PIX firewall. I'm able to succesfully connect, but after that no bit (or byte) is transmitted through the VPN tunnel. So far I blame our corporate firewall. Also, the E61i does respond very well to bouncing on concrete pavement :-( .
Or not being able to watch YouTube videos (-> Flash 9) on the phone (which uses Flash 7) .
