Nokia E90 Communicator - requiescat in pace
I lost an old friend last weekend: My Nokia E90 Communicator suffered a painful death after being squeezed into a banana in my backpack. My old friend lived for a couple of hours after that, but then without warning it passed away quick & quietly.
My employer refuses to let me have a new one, saying that phone models are company policy and that everyone must obey the present rules. That sounds simple, but after ten years madly in love with 9210, 9500, and 9300, my life now feels really miserable, with a sensation of loneliness I've never felt before. My private economy makes it impossible for me to buy a new one, or even a second-hand model. I'm stuck. I'm alone, and slightly depressed.
So, instead of a new E90, they gave me a E71. These people can't possibly know what a good phone means to me. I can bear the fact that the E90 weights twice as much as a E71, and that the E90 technology is over two years old already. I know it is considered to be sluggish and out of date, but I really don't care about facts like that. I have a "twin subscription" and can use a smaller phone on the same number as my E90 in situations where this is suitable. The big benefit with E90 is the reliability, the ruggedness and the extreme quality and user friendliness. It simply made me more efficient.
Instead of the wonderful big 5x2" QWERTY keyboard of the E90, I now have to use the 2x1" micro keyboard on the E71. Yes I see that it's working, but the speed has vanished. I use my thumb finger nails in order to hit the right keys, but I have big hands. So the speed vanished. Puff. Gone. The wonderful Calendar of the E90: Puff - gone. The easy-to-use-Notes: Puff - gone. Efficiency: On vacation. (May be back one day). The solid and reliable phone: Gone with the wind.
The company saved $200 , or did they?

Exit Lotusphere 
Wed, Jan 27th 2010 11:00a Bjorn Thomassen
It is Friday evening at Dolphin. Most of the others left yesterday, but there is still a few yellow and black backpacks around. One intense week of yellow technology, networking, and partying is over. Our plane leaves tomorrow evening, hopefully we'll be back here next year, but frankly nobody knows. I always feel a bit depressed when Lotusphere is over, it's such a huge and important event and I sure could need one every third month or so. But before I pack my suitcase and start the 18-hour lon [read] Keywords: ibm

A day with a very varied agenda.divStarted up early with "Meet the grumpies" - Bob Balaban and Paul Mooney with a somewhat special session about what makes us admins and developers grumpy. Catastrophic project plans, managers with no IT knowledge, or with too much knowledge, many irritating things in our business. The due date "February 14th, 2037" were for example proposed as a secret protest against all project owners and managers who request a due date but fails to give enough details around [read] Keywords: lotus

What is the real cost of an E-mail license?
Wed, Jan 27th 2010 11:00a Bjorn Thomassen
A few weeks ago we did some pre-studies on TCO for MS Exchange 2007 vs. Lotus Notes 8.5.1. We only scratched the surface this time, but it really surprised me that MS Exchange license costs seemed to be a bit cheaper than Lotus.div divimg style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 157px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HM6e4aGKd2k/S0z2b-I-VkI/AAAAAAAAAug/O49xVc0slV8/s200/FortuneTeller.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5425982611472143938" [read] Keywords: lotus

Looking at yellow betas
Tue, Nov 17th 2009 2:44p Bjorn Thomassen
Just two weeks after the "IBM Software Day" we got an invitation to "IBM Beta Day" in Oslo. Didn't think that IBM did things like that, it was definitively a nice surprise. I cannot actually write about what I saw and tested, just that among other things we looked at the newly released Notes 8.5.1, an early beta of the next Quickr release, and some Sametime and Mashup stuff. Of course it would be nice to tell you more in detail about all this, especially since it's all exiting things, but I cho [read] Keywords: ibm
