Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20

I love my Blackberry Bold but being a road idiot, i always wanted a phone that is more for GPS (Global Positioning System). Something with a large screen and clear display, preferbably touch screen as well for better web browsing.

The Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 fits my bill. Garmin is renown for their GPS navigation products, while Asus is one of the leading IT hardware manufacturer in the world. This can't be a bad phone right?



The phone has a large high resolution screen and it is able to obtain quick GPS lock, making navigation a breeze. Whatmore the Garmin-Asus nuvifone M20 comes with a 3.2mp camera which is much better than my Bold's 2mp camera. The M20 phone also automatically geotags images with the exact latitude and longitudinal coordiantes, isn't that amazing?



Other functions includes HSDPA, Wi-Fi, push Email, multi media Capacity, Document viewing. In other words, it can do almost what my Blackberry Bold is capable of. The only bad point this phone has is that there isn't any microSD slot, meaning that the only storage available is the internal memory.


Sitex 2009

Went down to Sitex 2009 one of the biggest Computer fair in Singapore held annually at EXPO. I went on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. My aim is to get a laptop of decent performance something that can be used for light gaming too. Eventually decided on the Asus F83VF, which is priced at S$1,498. It is not exactly a light laptop, but it came with a GT 220 video card, meaning i can play many games including COD Modern Warefare!

When i finally decided on getting it, was told that the stock ran out, infact most of Asus laptops were already out of stock. I was then told by the lady that i had to wait for around three weeks before the shipment come. To say the truth, i am not really suprised as Asus is well known for its excellent reliability and good performance/price ratio. But they are also well known for making boring looking and ugly laptops too. Damn, should have bought it on the first day but i wasn't in a hurry for it. Anyway was pretty much dissapointed with the promoters. There are a alot of promoters there, but i guess most of them know nuts about the products itself. I understand that they are only part timers and they do have limited knowledge, so dint really blame them for it.

Anyway my Sister bought her new 13" Mac Book Pro. It looks real cool, i am so jealous. And the Photo Booth program is so cute.

Crackberry

Its official! I've finally dropped my Blackberry even barely after two months i got it. Now it shall be renamed to "Crackberry". Sian 1/2.

Worse still, i dropped it on an uneven concrete ground with jagged edge leaving a dent on the side of the phone. Screw this. The phone just slide out of the pouch. I guess it happens all because of the poor design of the pouch. The pouch became loose, causing the phone to slide out of it. Just like when you stick something in and out of it, after sometime it will get loose. *Dirty thoughts*



I was browsing through the internet and i came across this website (My Black Mod) that offers repairs, modification services and accessories for Blackberry devices. Replacing my scratched Bezel with the stock one will cost me $40. Sigh. They have many interesting modifications like the one below, the Full Red Mod for the Bold and the entire modification itself will set you back more than $100.
