    Courtesy of Paul Giltinan of Choice Communications, I have a loan of a Nokia N95 to try out for the next couple of weeks – excellent! The first thing which strikes you when you pick up the N95 is how light it is. It is quite bulky (99 x 53 x 21 mm), so you…

    I have been trying unsuccessfully, to sign-up for Jangl‘s service for several days now. Part of the process involves calling their service, choosing and entering a four digit PIN.
