First of all, I would like to greet everybody a "Belated Happy Holidays". Better late than never :). I also want to say sorry for being off for weeks, have been fully loaded with work. To avoid confusions, this post's writer is me, Aaron.
Last Christmas, when my brother came from Manila, he had a Nokia DT-29 tied up with his S40 phone. If you have not heard about it yet, it's an accessory that comes with the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, which serves a simple yet a very useful purpose: a stand that lets the phone stand by itself mainly for watching videos. My brother had his hands with his friend's 5800 Tube, and borrowed the DT-29, just to tease me. He said at least I'd be able to experience "the accessory" if not the phone itself. Poor me T_T.
After using it, I really enjoyed this accessory. It's like taking out the N96's kickstand so that (almost) every mobile device can make use of it. It saves me from having to hold my N82 all through out the period of a full-length movie. It can also be adjusted to fit different viewing preferences. Here are some pictures:
You can choose to widen up the distance between the two handles or narrow them down to adjust the inclination of your device:
You can also use it as a "sort of" a tripod for taking self-timer pictures. As well as video footage of yourselves, great for video bloggers. They can just place it on a desk, set a desired angle, press record, and voila! You and your free hands on the video. You will also be able to get better quality as the phone will be much steadier than when held by your hands:
It fits well with the N82, and with the N95 8gb as well:
It would be great if Nokia would put the DT-29 as a standard in-box accessory on all upcoming N-series devices. Or as Devin stated on his blog:
maybe Nokia should sell this one separately as it looks like it could come in handy with every Nseries
and the question: Would you buy one?
