Planes, Trains and the Nokia 5800 - Ewan across the USA

Published by Steve Litchfield at 12:04 UTC, March 10th 2009

Yes, Ewan's heading off (Twitter feed here) for a three week your of the USA, taking in social media and gaming events. To try and add a little Symbian spice to proceedings, we insisted he take the Nokia 5800 with him, to really try it out 'on the road'. He's going to be sending back regular video reports, hopefully giving a flavour of where he is and what he's doing, but mainly letting us know how he's getting on with S60 5th Edition and the 5800. Embedded below the break is part 1 of this series.

PS.

1) Donations to the 'buy Ewan a tripod' fund welcome

2) Hopefully Ewan won't be dosed up on caffeine as much in future reports and will slow down to less than 500 words per minute....!

Now I am really looking forward to seeing the rest of these video's! As far as I am concerned he should drink twice as much caffeine containing beverages before each video so that then he could fit twice as much info into a 4 minute video! :tongue:

Regardless of the outcome I am sure that I will be sending countless friends to look at this when they tell me they want to get a new phone, because while some of them fancy themselves as real power users, this will really show the pro's and con's of the device with some real hard usage.

It would be good to have this as a video podcast...perhaps it could be a sub-series on the AAS videocast, to which I'm already subscribed :)

Off topic but when did this (dare I say it) engadget-ish "below the break" wording start hitting allaboutsymbian?

Perhaps I'm just starting to notice it now? Anyway its annoying at engadget and doubly irritating here.

He talks very fast c", Can you at least put a script on what he is saying so watchers could catch up with him.

Can I ask whether it is the word that annoys you (probably agree here, prefer 'More details in the full story...' myself. Or is it not having everything on the front page?

I'm guessing from the post its the wording in which case I'll have to consider adding into the banned words list :).

We're experimenting with new forms of media etc. If this becomes a regular thing it will certainly be added to the videcast feed. Video in general is on the list, but specific feedback is welcomed.

Great stuff Ewan, amusing as always. I like the haptic feedback on the 5800 though I am still switching between E71 and 5800 as I haven't got used to the virtual keyboard on the 5800 yet, still like real buttons :-).

Excellent Ewan, looking forward to more reports over the next 3 weeks...
Is there any chance you could borrow some of Billy Connolly's purple facial hair dye from the make-up dept or at least blow your nose lol...

The 5800 version is kick-ass, and will make sure he gets to his flights, and doesn't forget to take a sweater... Safe travels... Nadav
