Teach The Technophobe Challenge 4 is all about sharing your opinion about the E75 and Nokia Messaging. That’s why we grabbed our camera and our Technophobe Denirah shares her views on this messaging duo.

Again both Denirah and I would like to give a big thanks to the guys over at WOM World.

If you missed earlier challenges, direct links can be found below.

While studying for my upcoming Criminal law exams, I received an email message from Denirah. The message can be seen below. This coach is starting to think that this particular student might be getting a bit too comfortable with her E75!

How it was done.

I had previously shown Denirah the Geo-tagging capabilities of the E75’s camera and Sports Tracker. All she needed to do is get a GPS lock, fire up Sports Tracker and take her shots along the way. Knowing that her shots were Geo-tagged, when she emailed me the picture I uploaded the shot to Flickr. Flickr is able to read the EXIF data, revealing the exact coordinates of where the image was taken. This can be done by going viewing the “More properties” option in Flickr. In this case the picture was taken at GPS Latitude: 12 deg 7′ 1.00″ N/GPS Longitude: 68 deg 57′ 54.00″ W:

Sports Tracker is also able to export an KML file that can be read by Google Earth, showing me exactly how to get to that beach:

Some time ago I remember mentioning to Denirah (technophobe and sister)  that I would be doing a new art project with “Blue & Yellow” (The official colors of our National flag) as the theme for the project. To accomplish this I require lots and lots of inspiration which currently I don’t have. So, to my surprise, I got an email from Denirah with the subject: “Here’s some inspiration” and attached were 2 shots taken with her E75, containing some great inspirational material for the project. She was able to quickly take to shots and send them of to my E75. “The entire process from taking the two shots to sending them took me less than a minute” said Denirah when I called her thanking her for the pictures. On the other side she did wish that she could see a preview of the images when choosing an attachment in Nokia Messaging.

From an imaging point-of-view, the E75 produced some great shots, despite being a business and messaging focused device. Challenge 3 is on the way..

Chalk, way back then, was used to scrawl oversize buffalo on cave walls in what was one of man’s earliest forms of communication. Denirah didn’t start with a chalk, but what was then Nokia’s latest creation.

Down the road of the mobile evolution she got the Nokia 7250 with it’s Purple Xpress on Cover. Until a Copper E75 came a long, she didn’t know she was a QWERTY lover.

A device so small and so thin with a slide-out keyboard too. She described it as one device divided in two.

She expressed her love for the stylish design and color, and how other business devices were like “fruits” and “berries”, simply duller.

But what stood out was the build quality and the materials used. Even the back cover says “Stainless steel,” so no way with other materials it could be confused.

“Normally, I can only read my emails when I’m home”, she said. “But now, even when I’m out and about, not a single email remains unread.”

So when the first Challenge arrived, an email she should create, when the message was send, triumphantly she shouted: “Piece of cake!”

As we wait for the next challenge, Denirah doesn’t worry about the need for a deep pocket, but with a large 1000 mAh battery, she might as well forget the wall socket!
