Thoughts from a Bafta nominated Podcaster, Blogger, Writer and Commentator.
Never say that All About Symbian isn’t at the cutting edge of technology. None of those cheap hit grabbing unboxing videos for us. No it’s a reboxing video! With a bit of help from a certain mischievous bird. The written reviews (Parts #1 and #2) are also on All About Symbian.
Nokia’s X6 smartphone is starting to get some traction in the marketplace, with Ricky over at Symbian-Guru pointing out it’s arrival with them and an upcoming review. In the meantime he’s highlighted some other X6 content on the internet, including my unboxing video from Christmas. But it was Adam’s comment to the article that made me laugh: I maintain that Ewan Spence is the most insanely entertaining man in the world of Symbian. Because he is insane! Sorry Ricky and Rita, I love you both, but there’s nothing funnier than a sock puppet throwing a brand new $600 phone away
I’ll add the question mark, but one of the comments on my Nokia X6 Unboxing Video did suggest the above accolade, which makes me pretty happy. The Unboxing Video is a rather maligned tradition on gadget sites. Its essential function is to be “first†with a review device and get something up to capture traffic on a new device. Not that informative, not that critical, but something which gives page views and ad impressions. It’s also something I rarely do properly, although I do like to subvert the genre both with my “lets go through a conference schwag bag†group
