Nokia N810 for sale!

February 14, 2012 in Uncategorized by J | No comments

It’s a sad day, but Mrs. Sneakyreader and I finally decided it was time.  We’ve hardly used our Nokia N810 Internet Tablets since we both got Android phones, so we listed them for sale on Amazon.

To see the listing, go to this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001VY9H1W/ref=sr_1_3_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1329261379&sr=8-3&condition=used  The seller name is Polly’s Pocket Books.

 

Disclaimer: The Nokia N810 Internet Tablet is not your everyday portable device.  It’s a niche device intended for people who like to tinker, customize, and program their own apps.  If you love the iPhone’s simplicity and ease of use, the Nokia N810 may not be the device for you.  If you’ve never heard of Maemo, or Nokia’s N-series devices, then this may not be the device for you.  Please do your homework and make sure you know what you’re getting into before you buy this device.

How to configure Google Voice VoIP on your Gingerbread Android phone

January 27, 2012 in Google Voice/ VoIP, How To, Uncategorized by J | No comments

Why would I want to use Google Voice with my Android phone?

  1. Google Voice gives you a permanent number that forwards to the phone or phones of your choice.  If you change carriers or move, you don’t have to worry about “porting” your old phone number- you can just change your forwarding phone settings in Google Voice.  Additionally, your Google Voice number can ring your home, work, and cell phones at the same time, and you can answer whichever one you want.  You can block specific numbers, send others to specific phones, and determine what time of day you want each phone to ring.
  2. Save money on international calls.  International calls are far less expensive than the exorbitant per-minute fees charged by cellular carriers.  For example, I can use Google Voice to call my sister in Germany for about 2 cents per minute.  AT&T would charge well over a dollar per minute for the same call.
