First Impressions|HTC Touch 3G

IMG_0001

Last Saturday I went to Megamall with Chinang and traded-in my old palm Treo 750 to get a discount on an HTC device. I was intending to get the 1st HTC Touch for just 10,000PhP but the shops ran out of stock. I decided to get the HTC Touch 3G. I’ll be putting it thru the paces and post a proper review [hopefully] in a week or so.

The specs are ok for any modern smartphone. I am not happy that this device has no auto focus and 3.5mm jack, but my main gripe is the lack of buttons. This is the barest device I’ve ever owned. The screen is very bright and ultra responsive. More to come as I use it some more.

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.
