Nokia E71 – day 3: Taking it to the gym!

As I promised yesterday, I’m taking the E71 to the gym. It doesn’t go alone, though, I’m also bringing my Motorola ROKR S9 headphones to pair it with the Nokia (NYSE: NOK) smartphone. The duo should be more than good enough to help me go through my training.

Before leaving the house, I have to test the equipment. The pairing went expectantly smoothly. I’ve loaded podcasts via iTunes — sorry Nokia I rely on iTunes for all my podcast listening — and with iTunes Agent I managed to copy all the episodes I wanted. Actually, a single TWiT episode is all I need per training and that’s exactly what I transfer to the E71.

Back from the training. The Moto S9 isn’t exactly the connection keeper but I love its design and honestly can’t wait to get my hands on the S9-HD. That [bad connection], however, haven’t stopped me from listening. In my last post I mentioned I don’t like the 2.5mm headphone jack. To be perfectly honest, I rely on Bluetooth headphones all the time. However, the good ol’ wired headphones are also always with me, just in case a battery start dying. And while I’m talking about the battery, it’s one of the areas where E71 rocks, big time! Thanks to the 1500 mAh battery, I still wait to charge the E71. Actually, I may do that now. Don’t want to think about it when it’s dead.

Going to shower now. Tomorrow I’ll be testing some apps. Stay tuned…
