My Love For Gadgets Part 2

Part 1
http://kaishen.blogspot.com/2007/03/my-love-for-gadgets.html

So this is part 2 and i must say that my handphone history is ever revolving so quickly

So after k800i

i left for a short while for imobile 902

imobile 902

I think many people have not heard of this brand, well for a start its a thailand brand, but it comes in pretty strong with a 5 megapixel camera. I had a 1 to 1 trade with another guy online. This phone takes amazing pictures that will blow you off and it looks pretty much like k750i. However, underneath its shell, is a pretty poor performance user interface. Apart from a lousy sms dictionary and bad keypads, this particular phone hangs most of the time. It once hang itself while ringing and created a big din in SOXAL.

so i ask for a change back after 6 days of playing with it, thank God the guy was nice enough to change it back. Sold off my K800i to a NTU vietnamese student and throw in extra $40 to get a K810i

K810i

I must say that i really like this phone a lot, but somehow i felt the k800i takes better picture than k810i, but probably i might be wrong. Well this phone looks nice and functions really well as a camera phone. There are some shortcut keys that make this phone a really sweet device. I really hate to let it go but i need to make room for a GPS device to start my FYP.

So i got a 2nd hand cheap ipaq 6515

Hmm as of now, i do not really know what to say about this device. It still with me and i do plan to sell it off le. Thinking of working with symbian os rather than windows mobile as i think windows mobile os is no very compliant with java but i might be wrong in this. There's problem with the GPS software. I dont really know how to install it. so prob i need to let it go. Dont want to waste too much time on it. Smsing is pretty cool because u get to scribble it but apart from that, its like other PDAs, and it comes with frequent resets

and i dont really like to use a PDA phone, so nokia came out with 2 models with inbuilt GPS recently- N95 and N6110. N95 is ridiculously priced and is beyond reach(or the unrich). So i got myself a Nokia navigator 6110.

This is the 1st time i am using Nokia after it change symbian and i must say i am not comfortable with it. GPS works perfectly fine for its 1st attempt from senja back to jurong but somehow it asks u to turn at small lanes which i din attempt to. This works on AGPS and i think it might be more manageable than with mapking but i might be wrong. Camera shots are grainy and i guess thats the way it is with nokia phone. Why cant sony ericsson come out with a GPS phone?
sigh i already pledge loyalty to SE and now i have to do this.

Lets hope all these are worth the trouble.


Oh yah PDA Models which i have used so far are as follows:
