A New Look and a New Phone
This entry was posted on Oct 27 2008
Welcome to the next incarnation of My GPS Camera Phone! I’ve got a new template (edited just a bit from the original) thanks to Jai at Blog Oh! Blog, and a new phone thanks to Nokia Productions.
I decided to go back to a dark theme in an effort to place more emphasis on the photos, since most of the posts these days are short on words. The theme is still in need of some tweaking, particularly on the single post pages, but it’s coming along well. You’ve probably noticed the missing header also – I’m working on it.
As for the new phone, well, it was a total surprise, to say the least. I received a package last week addressed to me from a place I didn’t recognize. Long story short: I entered some pictures and video footage in the Nokia Productions promotion for the 5310 XpressMusic, which also happens to be a phone I reviewed. After the promotion wrapped up, I gave it no more thought and carried on with life as usual. Much to my surprise, I had won a daily prize drawing.
Inside the package was a brand new, unlocked Nokia 5310 Xpress Music (purple), a really awesome Bluetooth headset/headphones and a card for some music downloads (which didn’t work, but whatever). All the accessories were included as well, encased in a cool film reel can. While the camera is average, the mp3 player rocks. So I’ll be using it to listen to music and snap photos alongside the trusty Casio G’zOne. Many thanks to Nokia Productions!
If you want to see the final version of the movie for the promotion, check it out here (once it loads, go to “watch” and “the film”). Fellow blogger Drew was a winner and got to fly to LA for the premier. Stop by and say hello if you can.
Anyway, it’s been a good week and I’m looking to make this site even better in the months to come. How? Well, I’m not sure yet, but I am optimistic that something good will happen. Enjoy the new site!

Sorry, comments for this entry are closed at this time.
Congratulations on the win. The phone was a decent one, the camera on it sucked though. The 5610 camera is a bit better, I’m reviewing that one now, or am attempting to.
OK, the comments are working again. Thanks for letting me know, Dan.
Whoooooooa. This is different. I still need to redo my place, but have to much work to do it this week. lol.
nice new phone too!

Wow! White text on a black background. It’s like it’s 1997 all over again!
The black background does frame the photos nicely, which I imagine was the intent of the new design.
Okay, now I’ll hit Submit and see what happens!
