My Life With IT

It is truly time for a replacement PDA phone. However, I’m still unable to decide which one to get despite the various choices of sexy PDAs available. Take the long wait for Sony Ericsson Xperia X1. The news for HTC Touch Diamond just came out too. It’s another piece of artwork by HTC.

HTC Diamond is so sexy that it reminds me of the coveted iPhone. The Asus Lamborghini ZX1 oozes with sleek form design too. Toshiba is known for producing laptops and desktops but this time, they want to let the world know that their Portege is also good enough to work as a PDA phone. See Toshiba Portege G810.

I’m thinking of HTC Touch Diamond, Asus Lamborghini ZX1 and MWg Zinc II. The problem? The first two are not launch yet. Was thinking of SE X1 but it’s a long wait. I just wonder if I would be able to afford the change. PDA phones are still expensive to buy.

Did I mention that I’m on the hunt for a replacement? I now have a few replacements in mind. Besides iPhone. It’s always a good idea to have a list of items for such purchase. I don’t want to end up with the wrong mobile and end up complaining too many times.

I’m a little curious about MWg Zinc II as it’s a successor to XDA Zinc. It does look a little like iPhone. Anyone has something to recommend for PDA phones?

It seems that Dopod 838Pro is telling me something. It’s near its end. The battery has been giving me some problems such as dying off even after a full charge and faint screen at odd times. For a second hand, it’s a miracle that it has survived for nearly 2 years.

I’m eying that Sony Ericsson X1. Although FoxTwo has a bone or two to pick with its products.

All these provide a sneak of what I’m hoping for. Just wondering when it’s going to be sold in Singapore. Any ideas?

Excited that I could just answer a question and stand a chance to buy a Wii at $9, I decided to SMS to the number flashed on the screen. It cost me $2 for answering the SMS and I only got a 10 point congratulation SMS and got to answer more questions. It’s a scam. I must have been out of my head.

That advertisement flashing on TV was a total misleading headline and the terms and conditions were too small in print. I guess that’s the purpose of fine print. Starting to hate fine prints.

While I don’t have an iPhone, it seems that telcos are fighting for users to distribute in Germany. Vodafone lost iPhone court case where it can’t distribute iPhones to its customers. Business is tough.

Apple still faces two lawsuits in the US from people alleging that preventing users unlocking their iPhones is an unreasonable restriction of consumer choice.

I’m quite thankful that I’m the consumer but as a consumer, I’m limited to only one telco for my iPhone. That isn’t right. Just like my dislike for M1 refusing to reward its customers to keep them.
