Nokia Island


I spent time today with Digistar Brouwer, manager of the Nokia Island.  Nokia has created some fun aps for inworld cell phones.  For several months I have been using a Nokia N95 phone that has a poofer that sends out blah blah blah, busy, and BRB.  It's a fun way to let other avatars in Second Life know that your avatar is busy.  The latest Nokia phone has a Twitter ap,  you can now send out your tweets while you are in Second Life.  

For some time now companies like Vodafone and Nokia have been using SL to have their communities send SMS messages to Real Live celll phones from SL.  I am anxiously awaiting the next virtual cell phone application that Nokia creates.

The N96 smart phone supports Second Life along with smart phones from Sony, Samsung, Ericcsson, Motorola and LG.  Second Life can now be run on more than 70 3G enabled handsets.
