A Year-Old Nokia 6030 Review and a Filipino Travel Barometer

We at Technograph think our photos of the Nokia 6030 provide a great look (pun intended) of the phone. So much so that we’re canceling our planned review. Besides, Eugene Villar has already written one.

The technically-sound blogger bought the phone over a year ago, when it cost Php 1,975.00 more. We agree with his opinion, regarding the gadget’s “insane battery life” and the fact that it “has absolutely no sort of connectivity features whatsoever.” A bane for geeks who like everything to interface with each other, but then again, it’s a case of getting what you paid for. Visit Mr. Villar’s blog for the full review.

Eugene is also well-known in the local blogosphere for his work on Lakbayan, which a local SEO expert has characterized as “the best linkbait of the year.” For those who’ve been hiding under a rock for the past few months, Lakbayan is an online tool that quizzes users on how much they’ve traveled throughout the Philippines, and generates a visual heat map based on the answers. It’s well worth the visit, which means you should drop by forge.codedgraphic.com/lakbayan. And if you’re wondering how it works, you can read this and this.

    I think Nokia intended the 60xx as operator-friendly phones – send everything through MMS.

    A pretty expensive way to exchange information, no doubt.
