Moan with me / pomarudz ze mna

I've spent another vacation in Ukraine. But would you let yourself be cut off from the Internet?
I don't thinks so

At the very beginning, I want to assure it's not an ad, just the review.

I bought the SIM card ( with no cash on it) for 15 hrn/грн/grn
The installation was very simple, just put the SIM, launch, enter the PIN and it works.

In order to check you balance enter *111# and your call button.
To my surprise it also shows how many megabytes you have on your пакет ( package ).

In order to order your Internet enter *124#
And than you choose something with the Internet in it
I bought package of 100 MB for 39 hrn/грн/grn

Do you want to call to your homeland?
Enter *143*4# and follow the prompts.
And now you can call abroad for 1,99 hrn/грн/grn per minute. Don't forget this offer costs 6 hrn/грн/grn

To send an SMS to life mobile from the Internet go to: (you can send up to 3 per day)

On Life's homepage I found the Coverage Map

To be honest with you, it's bullshi*t.
During my month-stay in Ukraine I experienced bunch of places with no coverage at all.
(I live in Poland and I don't expect EDGE/3G everywhere, I'm a realist)
Even though, it wasn't much of a problem, empty-coverage spots were not so big, max half an hour during commuting.

And how to recharge, you can buy a recharge card from seller on every corner ( they aren't hard to notice)

Life has a great adventage. If you go to Ukraine with your friends I suggest you should buy few SIM cards because after a recharge you get 100 free SMS/TEXTs and unlimited minutes to Life numbers ( limited by period). You can find details here

I'd be happy to read some comments

EDIT:
I forgot...to use the Internet you have to set your GPRS access point. In order to do so dial *124# and then choose NASTROYKI. You'll get a text right away ( I did it at night )

Hi there!
I've become an owner of new E63. And I really enjoy it. I got few things to say though.


Sometimes when I press the menu button, a black rectangle appears but the menu doesnt pop up. Got to restart your Nokia.
Battery, it has BP-4L battery, but mine can't keep working for more than 2 days. I think a warranty service would do sth about it.
Loose Plug,have you seen E63 from above? it has mini-jack (headphones standart) and it's protected against some dirt etc. by a rubber plug. It's loose! Probability of loosing a small loose part is unfortunate.

What about opera?
Opera Mini4.2 hmm I use it on daily basis because of the amount of data transfered ( GPRS,3G costs are lower). The problem is when you use f.e WiFi connection and you try to connect through WAP/GPRS alternative. After choosing a connection you want to use - nothing will happen, as if you had no Internet connection at all. Closing and reopening opera is the only choice.

Opera Mobile 10.00
It has not-mobile key funcions ( try to type some digit or other character while typing a password )
Connection problems - especially when using Opera Turbo..it simply does not work.
I found some articles about Opera Mobile and WIDGETS. Yes you're right widgets.

http://www.opera.com/press/releases/2008/10/20/ 
http://operawatch.com/news/2007/10/opera-widgets-now-on-mobile-phones-too.html

but try to go to http://widgets.opera.com/
Only 3 out of 17 Opera's recommended Widgets work on mobiles. And which ones? TETRIS - can I ask you, who would use Opera-Tetris-Widget on mobile phone? Especially when there's whole bunch of free tetris Java games, SiS games on the Internet...
Next one, Analog Clock, simple but maybe useful. Or it would be if it could stay always on top. Giving you the opportunity of arranging you workspace. I cant work it out, and still can't run it ( and other widgets) on my Opera Mobile . Third one, Twitter OW. I don't use twitter, I do not twitt, but I think this one ciuld be very useful and functional for those who have twitter accounts. The same goes with Facebook widget I found.

What Would I change: (or add)
- optional saving page with forms filled
- fixing all the above problems
- let saved pages be put into bookmarks ( or just to assign shortkey f.i *4 like bookmarks are assigned)

At the ending I'd like to add. There's no other option - OPERA HAS THE MOBILE INTERNET ! HAIL TO IT

Any comments?
