Ok here goes my review of the O2 XDA Executive [aka HTC Universal], I know there are tons of reviews all over the net tackling this device but here's my take on this device. -- Hardware: The Exec boasts some awesome hardware specs... It has WiFi 802.11b [can be hacked to improve 802.11g connection] it has Bluetooth v1.2 [can be hacked to get A2DP [Advanced Audio Distribution Profile] and AVRCP [Audio-Video Remote Control Profile]. It has Infrared for older devices or if you don't feel like bothering with BT. It has a standard SDIO slot [Hooray!] It is Quadband GSM/GPRS and is the first Windows Mobile PocketPC Phone to feature 3G technology. It has 2 cameras 1 0.3MP for Video Telephony and a 1.3MP for pics and video at the back. Last but not least it has a standard 3.5mm Stereo Headset Jack, so you can use your fave high end earphones without a converter! All these bells and whistles come at the price of size and weight. This PPC Phone weights in at 285gms and has the following ...

Was really bored yesterday so I decided to trade-in my dopod 838, and got myself an O2 XDA Executive. Man the screen is gorgeous and it is way zippier than my 838. So far I'm am liking it it is way bigger and a bit heavier. I'm just about finished loading it up [some of my apps are not VGA aware yet though]. Will surely post more about it soon ;-)

Had a pretty long day today and I am really tired. Woke up at around 9am to go to our kiosk [got home around 4am from Chicane]. I'm currently taking a break from fixing my friend's notebook. I think I will finish that up on Tuesday [I am on duty at our kiosk tomorrow]. As promised I'll also make my Party Report on Tuesday. Well that's all for now I'm off to bed. Good Night Peeps!

Chicane is back in Manila! Will probably have a party report for you in a few days. Take note though that it seems that it will be jam packed at the World Trade Center in Pasay. I do hope that it is worth it IIRC the last time he was here he just played a few songs, this time the ticket prices have sky rocketed [we got tickets P1,200 at pre-selling and I hear P1,500 at the gates, and it's P20,000 for 8pax for the VIP] and I hear that BIGFISH even added another row of VIPs just to milk this event. Well what do you expect it's Chicane one of the more commercial Electronic Dance music acts there is. I think this event will be a smashing success compared to their abyssmal hed kandi gig 2 months back, I mean this time you have a certified ACT, not just some DJs off a roster of DJs... come to think of it maybe they lost a lot of money and are trying to recover with this event. I hope that I get my money's worth tonight.
