The biggest tragedy in my life at the
moment revolves around commute from home to work and back. I am sure that many
of the readers here would have a similar story to tell. However, my condition
is more of the extreme kinds with around an hour and a half each morning (low
traffic scenario) increasing to around two and a half hours each evening (high
traffic conditions). I guess nobody would disagree when I say that this is
REALLY LONG by any standard for everyday commute.
What this warrants is some kind of
activity to keep myself occupied during these hours. I love reading and can
spend any amount of time reading. However, I like to satiate my appetite for
reading with a combination of books, newspapers & magazines, updates &
posts on social media, etc.
This was one of the chief concerns I had
in mind before I started using the Nokia 701. However, once I started using the
devise, I was impressed with the bright display and the high quality
non-pixelated images.
This morning, I downloaded The
Adventures of Sherlock Holmes application from the Ovi Store. Once the download
completed, all I had to do was tap the menu to select the mystery I wanted to
read. The fonts were legible and distinct and I could flip through the pages
just the way I would with any other hard copy book.
I decided to try the same with a website
which was a mix of text and images and so I opened the Times of India app. News
which was difficult to obtain earlier while on the go, was so much fun to flip
and scan.
The last test for the display was when I
downloaded a season of Mad Man to watch it on the phone. The closest expression
that I can use to describe the experience is that I didn’t realize when I
reached home after a long journey.
