HTC TouchDiamond vs Samsung Omnia


Gentle reminder that the 3G iPhone isn't the only new mobile on the block... :D

Diamond over Omnia:
* VGA display (2.8-inch, 480 x 640 pixels)
* TouchFLO 3D Home screen (better than Omnia's Touchwiz UI)
* Nicer design
* More compact body
* Lighter weight
* Active magnetic stylus (Omnia has no stylus slot)
* Touch-sensitive scroll wheel (better than Omnia's optical joystick)

* Standard miniUSB slot (as opposed to Samsung's proprietary custom plus)
* Dedicated graphics chip with 64MB memory
* Comes with the amusing Teeter game (uses the accelerometer)
* Has pre-installed YouTube client and MP3 Trimmer application for ringtones

Omnia over Diamond:
* Bigger, though lower-res display (3.2", 240 x 400 pixels)
* Has a better, more solid build and finish
* Almost double battery life
* Better CPU performance (by a nice margin according to software benchmarks)
* Quad-band GSM support (Diamond has two versions to cover all the four bands)
* microSD card slot (Diamond has none)
* 8 or 16 GB of storage memory (Diamond has 4GB)
* Much better 5 megapixel camera (better processing, higher resolution, face and smile detection, geotagging)

* Auto screen rotation is available in all applications and can be switched off
* Comes with DivX video support (Diamond has none, but DivX players can be installed)

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.
