Nokia E71, Why?
e71
I’ve been using my N82 since the beginning of the year and I had to format it for 2 times since then. This is quite normal with Nokia phones for me as they suck major monkey balls. What I have learned that there is no point in having a chunky phone with gazillion options for a nice price that at the end of the 6 months you will find half of them not working well at all.
So whats that buzz about the E71 around the blogosphere? It’s another damn Nokia! Ok the size factor is quite nice, GPS is BS in Kuwait, Wi-Fi isn’t practical (I prefer having Wnet connection on my phone rather than wi-fi access), and I practically push myself to use the camera from time to time just because I have 5MP cam with Xenon flash , after all where do you want to use it in Kuwait as most of our my entertainment is either in the Cinema’s , Restaurants , and Diwanya’s.
Now I guess the true power of the E71 lies with it’s keyboard, which you only get to use if you have a proper Internet connection. I am planning to get Wnet on my phone in upcoming few months and give it a shot with the N82 and see it it realy does change the way I look at the phone or not.
Anyone finds a better reason for all the buzz around the E71?
N82
I’ve managed to get an N82 phone instead of my old K8ooi SE last xmas. I’ve been mainly using it as a music player as I’ve lost my old iPod. The thing that I miss from my old iPod is when you accidentally unplug the headphones, the song pause automatically. Now, when you do the same thing with the N82, the song plays from the internal speakers and that is quite annoying if you were in a lecture or at work.
I’ve googled for a solution but I couldn’t find any. I guess I have to be careful and stop the song manually before I unplug the headphones.
xMass Shopping Fever!
I know what was wrong with me. Boredom and this xmass shopping fever going around here. I have decided. No new gadgets for me until I come back to Kuwait!
No ipod touch no iphone no nokia n95 8gb no nothing!
Bloggin’ mood
Anyone notice that whenever you are too busy to blog you find it the best time to do so?
I remember last year during my final exams I started bloggin here. Now,although the exams are far away, I don’t have anything to blog about. I guess school life is a bit boring and nothing exciting happens nowadays.
Anyways, the idea of having an iPod touch is hunting me back again. I pretty much crossed over the iPhone idea as it is pretty much useless and I am quite happy with my K800i.
I guess I’ll buy an iPod Touch for the sake of having a blogging material at least 
P.S.: Anyone uses ZYB.Com ?
Positive Thinking
This Monday I’ll be presenting a topic for my paediatrics class about a protein metabolism disease (PKU). Basically you can’t eat any protein in your life other wise you will be mentally retarded.
It SUCKS, but look how positive thinking manipulated the situation to PKU Rocks!

Why I’de Like to Get an iPhone
I’ve bean craving for a new phone since summer and I had the Tyten II in mind as THE phone to get.
But HTC phones aren’t that good. They lag and are windows based (a.k.a endless crashes and restarts). So as far as I know, the iPhone:
1- Runs quite smoothly
2- Has a lot of hype around it = a lot of programs coming out
3- It looks nice
4- Lost my iPod
What draws me back though
1- Lack of GPS
2- Difficulties with sms/mms.
3- Not supporting windows pocketpc apps.
4- 2MB flash less camera.
The GPS isn’t really a big deal in Kuwait as most of modern cars has it and you almost know where to go most of the time, and once you do, you don’t need the GPS anymore.
Not being able to write sms in the traditional alphanumeric way (3arabi) along with the lack of switching off the auto-complete feature is a draw back. Not to mention the absence of forwarding sms ability and mms!
Yeswa ?

HTC Nike
This is the Touch Slide the successor of the HTC Touch
The specs vaguely will be including a touchscreen display, Wi-Fi, 128MB RAM, and 256MB Flash, and hopefully a GPS!.
Motorola V3xx(i) and iSync 2.4
I’ve been using the Moto V3xx from O2 just for a change. The thing is it doesn’t sync with iSync. I found that only one line added to a file would do all the difference.
Edit this file using Taco HTML Edi:
/Applications/iSync.app/Contents/PlugIns/ApplePhoneConduit.syncdevice/Contents/PlugIns/
PhoneModelsSync.phoneplugin/Contents/Resources/MetaClasses.plist
Add the following line-
<string>”Motorola CE, Copyright 2006″+”GSM900″,”GSM1800″,”GSM1900″,”WCDMA”,”MODEL=RAZRV3xxi”</string>
Under:-
<key>com.motorola.razorV3x</key>
Like so:-
<key>com.motorola.razorV3x</key>
<dict>
<key>Identification</key>
<dict>
<key>com.apple.gmi+gmm</key>
<array>
<string>”Motorola CE, Copyright 2005″+V3x</string>
<string>”Motorola CE, Copyright 2005″+V3xv</string>
<string>”Motorola CE, Copyright 2005″+RAZRV3x</string>
<string>”Motorola CE, Copyright 2005″+RAZRV3xv</string>
