tip: when browsing a list with your 6600, whether it be SMSes, the Gallery, email messages, whatever, to select multiple items just hold down the little pencil key and move the joystick down (or up!).

Blogia is a new Moblogging app for series 60 phones (I think Symbian 7, Multimedia version 2.1) and some web-logging services (I assume this is LiveJournal, Blogger, Movable Type and/or Typepad# - but the website doesnt make clear which yet). It was released via Handango downloads on Sep 27th. It is made by a Helsinki-based wireless tech company -
Bellstream.

Geography Olympics: I got 50% which is alarming - how I got Georgia I dont know. Mine was a bit easy too as I got several central european ones, easy for a hardened eurobore like myself.

Watch out for the interface which is a bit clunky, with that withered hand icon making an appearance again, after all these years!
