Weekend: Tech, Style, and Prep
Happy Friday! After a long week, I am ready to start the weekend. Additionally, another reason to be excited is that I got back in time to take part in the Nokia style challenge along with many others. I will be using the Lumia 635, Cortana device that Nokia provided me with to check out what it offers, as well as see how it helps me during my shopping excursion.
I must admit, I have two Smartphones, one which I use strictly for work, but neither of them are Windows phones, so I was definitely interested in this challenge because the Lumia comes with Windows 8.1. That alone is a feature that I was most looking forward to using on-the-go with the Microsoft Office applications.
(Above: getting acquainted with the phone and about to book more travelling dates).
I am starting to play with the phone more, and getting everything in order, so all will soon be sorted. The One Note and One Drive is lending itself to be very useful at the moment, especially for task lists, schedules, and work documents.
But, so far, honestly the only thing that I am truly missing primarily is the crispness of my current Smartphone cameras. Although this offers auto focus and panorama features, if you have an iPhone, then you will notice a difference, as the Lumia 635 has 5 Megapixels with no LED flash. However, I did test it out, and it seems to take decent close-up shots.
Well, there’s much to analyse and sift through, and I am gleefully downloading Apps as I type. I’ll have loads to share throughout this venture, so stay tuned …
Be sure to follow my journey, and other fellow fashionistas as we find budget-friendly styles in the Nokia #StyledbyLumia three-week challenge. I will be updating my findings mostly via Twitter, and Instagram, but occasionally here on the blog as well.
This weekend we'll be hosting a big dinner, so I will be squeezing in shopping at some point in-between. Looking forward to showing you more in these next few weeks.
What are your plans for the weekend?
