i-mate SPL... Slim WM5 Smartphone

Here's something out of i-mate it's the SPL.
--
It looks like a Moto SLVR knockoff but it features Windows Mobile 5 for Smartphone.
--
Some specs:

TI OMAP 730 200mhz Processor
64Mb RAM/128Mb ROM
Tri-band GSM/GPRS [no EDGE, 3G or 3.5G]
Bluetooth 1.2 [dunno if it supports A2DP]
miniSD Expansion
qVGA display [portrait 240x320]
miniUSB [used for syncing and audio input/output - I hate non-standard jacks for audio]
12 mm thickness [slim profile]
2MP Camera
no WiFi [not a big deal if it had 3 or 3.5G but it doesn't!]

Apart from being slim and having WM5 there really isn't anything that special about this mobile. It is good to see more choices though. Choices are definitely good.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau. [The water is FIIIIINE!!!] [dinner at Bistro Coron] [Happy Birthday Loralee :D] Coron is one heck of a lovely place… just remember to bring mosquito repellent. http://www.flickr.com/photos/bnycastro/tags/coron_0509

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well. I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.
