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 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…

    Hey – If you're going to take your Nokia to the gym… Why don't you use Gym Technik on your Nokia to track your workouts…

    Hi there. How did you enable your E71 to work with ITA? I have had no luck.

    Any Help would be appreciated.

    Cheers,
