Why I would be the perfect SMW (Social Media Week) Nokia Reporter?
I have been asked, “Why I would be the perfect SMW (Social Media Week) Nokia Reporter?”
My short answer would be, “WHY NOT?”
But to be fair and honest I need to explain my answer.
I AM THE PERFECT SMW NOKIA REPORTER, NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
I can describe myself in 2 words – “GADGET FANATIC“. Ever since I can remember I have always been interested in Technology. My very first computer was a Commodore 64. Back then it was not much but it was MINE. Since then I have built every computer I own with the exception of my Toshiba Laptop and My Surface RT Tablet. My current job is Technology Repair. I fix everything from computers to handheld devices. Over the years I have come to love Microsoft Products as a FANBOY (even the quirks that comes with them) and have always been a Nokia FANBOY as well. Since the 2 have come together it is like Christmas for me every day.
In the past, I have owned several Windows Mobile Devices like the HTC Tilt, HTC Fuze, and HTC Tilt 2. I am proud to say that back then I was one of a few Windows Mobile devs that ported Touch Flo 3d and 2d from HTC Devices to other Windows Mobile Devices. I have also created cabs of other programs pulled from HTC Devices so others can use (like Opera Mobile).
Instead of porting apps I have created 2 update apps found here – https://mobilitydigest.com/herg-a-fied-apps/
So you can see I am very active in the Windows Phone 8 & Nokia Community for a long time.
I currently am a proud owner of a Nokia 521 T-Mobile and my oldest son Kenny is following in my footsteps by sporting a Nokia 520 AT&T Device. See picture below.
Since my oldest son got his, my younger son Johnny wants one as well. As you can see I am raising my children right. My take on a country classic song (Mamma Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up To Be COWBOYS by Willie Nelson) is – “Mamma Don’t Let Your Babies Grow up To Be Android or Apple Users”. LMAO!!!!!!!
My son and I use our devices everywhere we go. This summer we went to St Louis, MO (my birth place and where my family is from). All we used was our Nokia Devices for Pictures. We went to the Arch, Budweiser Brewery, Grants Farm, The Magic House, The Transportation Museum, and several other places in St Louis has to offer as well as on our way home we stopped by Graceland to see Elvis Presley’s Home. See Pictures below of some examples we took.
So the question asked is, “Why I would be the perfect SMW (Social Media Week) Nokia Reporter?
My answer is simple, “Why NOT!” I am the poster child for Nokia and their mission to DOMINATE THE WORLD WITH THEIR DEVICES, one country at a time!
I already know Nokia has raised the bar with their unequaled cameras in the phones design. Look at my pictures above, my nokia 521 does not have a flash yet compared to my parents iPhones, my Nokia 521 makes the picture look like you are there even in dark to low light aqreas.
If I am chosen to be the SMW (Social Media Week) Nokia Reporter, my mission is show off the AWESOMENESS that Nokia has to offer!

I have been a Windows Rom Developer (ROMs made include Special K and Doug E Fresh Rom). I have port apps for Windows Phone like Opera Mobile, and HTC Sense for Windows Phone. I no longer do that stuff. I now focus on analyzing malware and I own my own business fixing computers as well as installing secured networks. In my spare time I have my own mini network at my house to see the impact as well as analyzing the damaging power the malware causes by using malware samples given to me. Thanks to MobilityDigest.com, I have been given a great pleasure to write about malware and the impact on mobile devices.
You’re the man for the job. I’m sure you’ll extend the reaach and get eyes on Nokia.
So my question still stands.
Why not Android? It has most everything WinMo had and more.
My current device is more than 3 years old. Has lasted a year longer than either of my HTC WinMo devices.
I am not an android fanboy, I just see it at carrying the WinMo torch, without windows.
Still trying to decide what will power my pocket for the next 2 years. And the browser alone is not enough to compel me to Windows.
Yes I have a spare Nokia 820 I have been playing with for the last several weeks.
Android is not for me. Like I said in my other post about Herg-A-Fied Apps, I am comfortable with Windows Products. Android is not for me. Neither is Apple.
OK then.
As a WP developer, maybe you can help make Windows Phone right for me. Lets start with the simple stuff.
Widgets, toggles, or live tiles. I need airplane mode, wifi, Bluetooth, etc… controls on my home screen.
I have tried a couple of 3rd party apps, but they take me to settings pages instead of switching states on my home screen. Not acceptable.
I also want to pin music controls to my Start screen. The same ones that come down when I press the volume button would be acceptable, but including the now playing title would be better. I don’t want the control to disappear after too few seconds.
Are those functions you can create, or is that a limitation of the OS?
Again, as a long time WinMo user, I was trained to expect these functions.
