  • Private Number Callers Are Cowards

    Posted on Monday March 9th, 2009 at 01:39 in life, technology, Privacy, mobile phone

  • Which PDA Phone?

    Posted on Sunday June 1st, 2008 at 21:03 in mobile phone, pda, handheld

    It is truly time for a replacement PDA phone. However, I’m still unable to decide which one to get despite the various choices of sexy PDAs available. Take the long wait for Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. The news for HTC Touch Diamond just came out ...

    For the 1st time, I wasn’t even keen on going to the IT Show to check out the gadgets. I guess it isn’t as interested as Cebit that often showcases upcoming gadgets for the year. The usual limited space for walking and inconsiderate peopl...

    Posted on Wednesday March 5th, 2008 at 00:47 in programming, mobile phone

    I wonder what’s going on. Since the year 2000 that IDA announced that we would be enjoying number portability in the 4th quarter of 2007, I haven’t seen any announcement that it has been successfully implemented. For more than 7 years, th...

    Posted on Wednesday February 20th, 2008 at 00:06 in mobile phone, handphone, handheld

    It seems that Dopod 838Pro is telling me something. It’s near its end. The battery has been giving me some problems such as dying off even after a full charge and faint screen at odd times. For a second hand, it’s a miracle that it has su...
