Motorola VE66 5 MP slider emerges

Oddly, it seems the Kodak branding that was seen in the ZN5 is curiously missing in the VE66, which seems quite strange, given that you'd think that more than one 5 MP cameraphone from Motorola would feature this. Anyway, rumoured specs to as follows:

• Connectivity: GSM and 3G

• Display: 2.4", showing up to sixteen million colours
• Camera: 5 MP, with autofocus, and xenon flash

• Connectivity: GSM, GPRS, EDGE and HSDPA and UMTS support
• Display: QVGA resolution
• Operating System: Symbian 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 1
• Camera: 2 MP, flashlight

What this Blog's about

It’s all about technology and how it can help me, you, and in general everyone around us. I work in an environment were I sell technology products and I am sad to say that most people in this day in age are so behind in technology and what it can do for them, and I’m not trying to get real technical on people, but I’m talking about simple things, like how to add music to there iPods manually and not with playlist (ex. Manually manage music box in iTunes). Most people are so afraid to experiment on their pc’s that they think if it works well then ok I won’t touch anything else on in cause it might break, that’s not the way it works though. You have to rummage around in your pc environment try different things, who knows maybe you’ll learn something you thought was not possible to do. Anyways my point is that this blog is all about technology how it can help us grow, make us wiser, maybe even happier who knows. I’ll be talking about a whole lot of different topics in the blog, simple and even more technical for the more hardcore types. I hope everyone likes my first efforts in blogging. I would love to hear everyone’s and anyone’s opinions, I’m all ears!
