I’m okay with ECO-fashion lately these days. “Go green, go green” — fine; but this wooden dock, which is dedicated for iPod, completely ruins the elegant trademark for Apple’s products. It’s not even glossy layered.

I don’t like this dock.

The design also looks annoying. The perfect fit space for iPod, I believe, will gives you trouble to take your iPod in and out.

The Wi-Fi Cellphones from T-Mobile

Several days ago, T-Mobile announced their new cellphones, Nokia 6301 together with Samsung T339. Both of them have Wi-Fi capability, which means, they support T-Mobile HotSpot@Home service for unlimited, nationwide call through Wi-Fi networks.

Comparing both cellphones, they are just like a normal phone — except, the Wi-Fi functionality. Nokia, as usual, has the better, larger screen size resolution, and richer colors. Nokia 6301 also comes with the 2.0MP camera, while Samsung T339 got only 1.3MP.

Samsung holds a better charge on battery for continuously talk time, where it’s the only good thing I can notice. Specs-wise, Nokia 6301 is way ahead, include the zoom capability, lite-size, weight, SD Memory, also the voice dialing, recording, speaker phone, push to talk, etc.

Could this be the best QWERTY for Nokia series yet? E71 received full praises from all reviews around the NET. Yes, for its thinness, even the screen is less than 2.7″ (compared to E61and 3.5″ iPhone); it doesn’t lose the favor in features and performance.

It’s planned to be release on 3rd quarter of this year. The highest bet for its phone carrier will be AT&T, but who knows?
