Like Richard, I just added the $30/month 3G data plan to my existing Fido plan. So it should be cheaper (and faster) than the $50/month I pay for my current grandfathered unlimited EDGE data plan. If the SIM isn't locked, I am thinking ab read more

So far so good. The only bug I can see is that I can't seem to update my Facebook status from ShoZu 4.0. Everything else works (e.g. I can see the last few status updates from my 341 ShoZu "friends"). I am sure the ShoZu folks will make read more

The above photo shows my "bicyclecast" setup (Gorillapod + N95 + DT-22 Tripod Adapter + my bicycle). It worked for only 6 minutes of my 30 minute commute to work (bug? limited buffering capacity? EDGE too slow?). And was fun. The GorillaPod doesn't k read more

N81 8GB Review Part 3 - Navi wheel doesn't work well
Roland Tanglao's weblog | January 20th 2008

Roland Tanglao's weblog | November 28th 2007
