Impressions: Nokia has done well with this mobile and although I am only using it for my SUN Cellular SIM I'm quite pleased with it. It has all the bells and whistles any self-respecting mobile phone would have. I like the fact that Nokia has moved away from their proprietary Pop port crap and have gone miniUSB. Alas charging isn't enabled from this. Nothing really stands out for this mobile. It just does what it does, not everything well though. The PC Suite from Nokia has improved dramatically ever since the last time I owned a Nokia that needed one [Nokia 7610 Series 60 2nd Ed], still not a complete sync with Outlook but much better. I hope to keep this one a bit longer than my other secondary phones [my Motorola v3i lasted 1 week, my Sony Ericsson z610i lasted 2 IIRC, my HTC s310 also 1 week]. I think I can even leave my TyTN II at home if I wanted to rough it and go without WinMob for a few days [but who wants to do that? really?]. It works well with my 3 bluetooth headsets including my stereo Motorola HT820. I've placed my 1Gb microSD card and loaded it with 1 or 2 playlists, some wallpapers and some tones as well. I did my syncing via WMP11 just like my TyTN II. I've also bought a silicone case and of course applied the mandatory screen protector the moment I got the device. It has dual displays which is really convenient if I just want to check the time or see who is calling. The clamshell doesn't lock in place like the z610i but it seems sturdy enough for now at least. Nokia also decided to include an FM radio I don't use it that much. My one complaint would be uptime. It seems the newer Nokias are really power hungry and I have to charge it at night if I use it heavily. The lower end Nokias you could go 2 or 3 days with out going near the mains.

I got a parallel import so I get Chinese via stroke or pinyin under input methods. Which is welcome because my TyTN II can only read Chinese not write it.

It's a cheap, solid and feature packed device. A bit overkill for my 2ndary mobile.

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.
