6 days on...

Wed 030310

Yup, it's now the 6th day after me got me new "baby". And yup, that new "baby" was & still is my new iPhone 3GS.

Well, what I like most about this hp is the UI or User Interface, namely the touch-screen. It's truly a wonderful means of using a mobile phone! Try it out & you'll know what I mean...

Besides that, it's a great music-playing device, too! And yup, that's because it kinda originated from none other than the iPod...which was such a great music-playing device. For those in the know...

Support is great from Apple with its own Apple Store. One can just shop right from the hp! I've since added 16 web applications to my iPhone! Even the Papago GPS maps program specially for the iPhone! Of course that one had to be bought! However, most of them were FREE apps. And the best part was...they WORKed immediately after installation!

As for the iPhone version of the Papago Navigation program, the unfortunate part was that the hp could not detect the satellite signal from inside our car! And on further investigations, it was caused by our windscreen heat shield film!! That film prevented the satellite signal from passing through to reach the phone. Like often said...the good & the bad...

BTW, if you had not noticed from the pic of the iPhone posted in the earlier entry, a protective film was added to the hp to prevent scratches and an iPhone holder was bought to put the phone in...also for protection! Ha ha! Total cost? RM45. A similar set from Maxis costs RM99!! Maybe of better quality?

I've also added 140+ tunes to the music library in the iPod section of the hp. So that was not a problem.

The built-in camera was not a problem cos it's of the same resolution as my trusty ole N73. Picture quality had yet to be determined via printing. Onscreen, the images looked good. I've downloaded a couple of free apps to improve on various aspects of the camera.

The main problem was & still is...adding new ringtones to the hp! Still under research lo...
Any suggestions? Besides the correct & official way, of course!

And before I forget, battery life, with normal usage, should be roughly a day or more...depending on light or heavy use. Using the hp the way I did during these past few days, the battery could only last slightly more than half a day...

Ok...enough about the new "baby". Frankly, that's the only happening around these parts! Ha ha!

So looks like that would have to do for today's post...Bye!
