The business reality show takes a twist to the usual format as ten celebrities face the intensive interview process chaired by Caroline Downey, and her aides Liz O’Donnell and John McGuire.
Amanda Brunker, Emma Quinlan, Daniella Moyes, Frances Black, Michael Conlon, Maclean Burke, Edele Lynch, Nick Leeson, Mikey Graham and Martin Maloney are the famous names taking on the challenge, with the winner donating the prize fund to their chosen charity.
As a big fan of the show i spotted several lumia 820s in red and yellow..
The mens team have been given the yellow 820 and the ladies the red 820.
If your in the market for a new camerphone the nokia lumia 1020 is now on sale in ireland ,exclusive to 02 ONLY.
O2 grafton street dublin has the 1020 lens display there and its quite impressive so you should pop in have a look at the best in mobile camera tech there is today.
Currently the 1020 is only available in black but we hope this changes over the next few weeks.
Well it seems there is no love for the asha 501 in ireland or the uk which i find rather strange and we did not get the expected response despite its not available to purchase in the uk or ireland.
The device is a nice pocket friendly sleek budget purchase with lots of great new things.
So we have decide to be good willed and let a poplular twitter winner client pick for us, thats how we roll.
Alongside our good nature we still continue to give a highly informative twitter feed on nokia in ireland than any other twitter feed,we also will strive to continue to bring you exclusive stories and information and of course support on your nokia devices.Also we will give you information on apps,update,release information.
Congratulations to donna and stay tuned for more in the coming weeks.
Today the best cameraphone on the market went on sale,as we tweeted the news earlier in the day we awaited some feedback.
The 64gb exclusive to 02 black model is up for grabs starting from free up to 639 euros on prepay.
The yellow version is NOT ON SALE as mentioned earlier today via forums,
There has been a variety of reports of availability and as per usual with a new launch supply is often short.
02 are offering the black version for now and no word on any other colors as yet but we hope to see more,it does look well in black and will hide any marks it might get as opposed to the yellow version which i have myself.
For such a nice phone i would recommend you buy some protection such as a gel case or cover,otterbox will have the 1020 case shortly which 02 sell in store.
You can check it out here on 02s WEBSITE. http://www.o2online.ie/shop/view/product/ql_catalog/catdevice/LUMIA1020;jsessionid=816221D50DD4E69B252D873AE4004851.AppNode2?tariffType=PAY_MONTHLY
Will you be buying one? Let us know in the comments section,prepare to be amazed at the camera quality and the fluid and fast speed of WP8.
Last week i was given a chance to tell something more about me with thanks to joel and anna at nokia connects.
So we done a little Q and A so here is how it went.
When it comes to Nokia fans, we doubt there are many who can match Jim O’Brien from Ireland in neither expertise nor amount of devices owned. Jim’s been one of the highest ranked members of the Nokia Support Discussions community for years, but only lately did we find out that he’s also a collector extraordinaire! His enthusiasm for mobile phones started when he was around 18 and it’s not showing any signs of waning. To share this passion with other Nokia lovers, he recently started his own blog NokiaNewsIreland. Jim boldly claims to be Ireland’s top Nokia fan and we’re fairly convinced that this is the case. We think you will, too, once you’ve read our interview with him…
We suspect you may be the man with the most Nokia devices in Europe. Could you describe your collection to us?
Well, I’m not sure about having the most in Europe, but I will have, as I continue to collect more whenever something comes my way. But yes, I do hold the undisputed title of having the biggest collection of Nokia devices in Ireland, that’s for sure.
My collection stands at around 115 devices featuring some rare models such as the N92. Some of these devices are with my family, some in my office and some on display in mobile museums, but one day I will complete what I´m building, which is a Nokia wall with a complete collection.
What was it that started your enthusiasm for Nokia and when? Why is it specifically Nokia devices you like best?
It started with the 3110. I still have one… I had several of those as a young man, when I was clumsy and kept dropping them. Then I was addicted to the 5110. That’s when I said Nokia is for me and became more and more interested in their devices. They were simple, straightforward and trendy. I still use Nokia devices today, and I love them because of their quality builds and simple user interface.
When did you get your first ever Nokia and which one was it? Could you tell us its story please?
My first Nokia was the 3110, which I got as a company phone straight after school. I loved it… I was always showing it off to family and friends, telling them that this is the phone to have. I knew my phone was better than theirs, because they argued “mine can do this and mine can do that.” I simply said, “no, sorry, it can´t” and they were left speechless. I still carry on doing this to highlight what Nokia devices are capable of.
Which Nokia phone do you use at the moment and what do you like best about it?
Today I’m using the Nokia Lumia 1020, and wow is not the word, this device is a killer device! The fact that I have it in yellow makes it even better, plus I have all the accessories that go with it. I got it for being a long term member on the Nokia Support Discussions forum, which I joined years ago.
Also I’m using the 925 and I love it, too. Nothing comes close to these two for quality design and build. I own all the Nokia Lumia devices except the 720, which never went on sale in Ireland.
So, do you think Jim O’Brien should be crowned king of Nokia fans in Europe? In any case, he has a collection of which we’re very, very jealous! Jim will soon share with us his five favourite Nokia devices ever, which must be a tough choice considering he’s had so many. Stay tuned for his answers, and if there’s anything else you’d like to know about Mr. Nokia Ireland, pop your questions in the comments below.
