    Win A Phone for Dad!

    Hey everyone, we have a big surprise! Father’s Day is less than a week away, so in honor of all the dads out there, we’re hosting our first giveaway! All you need to do is leave a comment telling us why your husband (or dad) is “calm, cool and connected” and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a new Nokia E71X - the thinnest smartphone yet.

    It’s the perfect gift for the professional dad who wants to combine his personal and business life. It has all the “business” tools, like corporate email and document viewing, and all the cool “personal” features like a music player, 3.2 megapixel camera and video share capability. I’ve been trying one out for the last few weeks and I have to admit, my husband has been dropping some major hints that he wouldn’t mind having one for Father’s Day. (Too bad employees aren’t eligible to win. Sorry honey!)

    I even took a few minutes to give a mini-review. Check it out!

    Read to Me!

    I have a new favorite thing I am so excited about. I’m trying out the new Nokia E71x and let me tell you, so far I’m loving it!!! I’m still getting familiar with it, but I have found my favorite thing about it so far. It’s a feature called Message Reader. It will read your text messages to you!!! I remember testing out a technology like this years ago and have always wanted to see this come back around.

    Well, here it is and of course it’s really simple. You receive a text message and can either press the key to read it or press and hold the key to have the device begin reading it to you. It will let you know who the text is from and then read the body. If you want to reply, you can reply via written text or you can reply with audio and it will send the audio file. It is amazing to hear the text being read or have someone hear your voice when sending the audio file.

    Love this feature!!!
