I did a mental freeze-frame jump-in-the-air cheer while reading that title, I hope you all did too.
I just installed some terrible Nokia software, as a last-ditch effort, because Windows 7 can’t or won’t properly install drivers for my phone, which means I can’t send pictures across to my PC via Bluetooth.
And as it turns out, the software actually isn’t terrible. I can sync and backup all the data back and forth from my phone, and I can even compose text messages on my PC and send/receive them via my phone, which is incredibly useful, since I have very limited Chinese literacy, and MDBG’s kickass PC on-screen dictionary isn’t available on my phone.
And… something which is really mind-blowing for me… there’s internet tethering built right in; I just plug my phone into a USB port or connect via Bluetooth, click a “Connect to the internet” in the software, and I’m surfing via a tethered connection. Suck it, Apple.
These may be fairly commonplace for PC phone software these days, but the last time I installed software on my PC for my cell phone, all it did was give me a handy new way to crash my computer. So this is kind of a revelation.
So, in celebration… pictures, still warm from my pocket:
 Ordered a cappuccino, and I got this. |
 Some kind of beverage in the supermarket. Thinking I shouldn't buy a few to take on the plane. |
 I would actually pay to see this movie. |
 Ditto this one. |
