Announced earlier this week at the Nokia Connections 2009 (just before CommunicAsia) was the spanking new Nokia E72, the successor to the popular Nokia E71.

The Nokia E72 is powered by S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2, though with a number of enhancements built-in, one of which is the new Nokia Messaging client, as well as a free lifetime Walk license for Nokia Maps. One interesting point to note here is that the North American release of the E71 (dubbed the E71x) also sports S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2, while the E71 everywhere else only has the Feature Pack 1 version. On the question of Nokia releasing a software update for the E71 to bring it up to speed, we’ll just have to wait and see.

Back to the E72, in terms of aesthetics, it retains most of what made the E71 special. Though there are some slight tweaks to the overall design, it is enough to make the E72 look (and feel) like a whole new animal. The E72 is also a whole lot less shiny than the E71, as the newer device sports a brushed metal finish on the main shortcut keys only while it’s finished in matte plastic all around. While this ends up taking away the ‘Ooh, shiny’ impression, the end result is that the E72 looks a great deal more professional. Continue Reading »

The international marketplace is beginning to get more and more advanced. Companies are starting to realize that there are enormous volumes of people around the world that like to buy products online. One of the best places to shop is in the US. US products are much less expensive than they are around the rest of the world. Especially with the value of the dollar being so low at this time.

Consumers in other countries are beginning to realize different ways to get these American products. One of the most common ways to get US Products is to use a mail forwarding or parcel forwarding company.

Your first question is most likely going to be…”What is a parcel or mail forwarding company?” Well, here is an explanation of what they are and how they work.

First thing would be to sign up at one of the many mail forwarding companies. Most of them require a minimal subscription fee of usually around $10-$20 per month. This fee gets you apersonalized American address at their warehouse in the US. You then have the ability to shop online any any US retailer or e-tailer. You make purchases just like you lived in the US. The obvious advantage is that most online companies will not ship products internationally. This gives you the ability to shop ANYWHERE! Typically people overseas run into the issue of international credit cards. Many companies in the US will decline your purchase if you don’t us an American credit card. Luckily, most of the mail and package forwarding companies have thought of a way to fix this problem too. Many of them offer Personal Shopper Services where they will make the purchase for you. All you have to do is wire them the money ahead of time or hold a pool of money in an account with them. They will then make purchases for you. Many of the companies will also shop for you. They go out and try to find the best deals on US products as you request them. Continue Reading »
