After jailbreaking the iPhone 3G, the thought was that I can now try out a lot of applications and run the risk of ultimately killing the device. That thought of the device hanging because of a rouge application malfunctioning or causing the system to misbehave is always there throughout my experiment.

In my previous posting, I had discouraged readers about jailbreaking the iPhone (or iPod Touch). I have since received numerous requests to review the jailbreak iPhone and a kind soul has generously supplied me with a unit for my personal experience.
To the uninitiated, jailbreak is the term used to describe an iPhone which is locked [...]

iPhone 3G: The Hype and The Myth
After a while of being the proud user of an Apple iPhone 3G, I think that it is time for me to be very candid about using this cool baby of a device. After all, I’ve written a few articles on this device before and this is not going to be the last.
Prior to this, [...]

Maxis 3G iPhone Plan – Second Thoughts!
After a more queries into the new Maxis 3G iPhone plan as well as looking at various AP set prices, I have come to the following conclusions:

c) get someone [...]

Omnia Prices Coming Down So Soon?
In my earlier posting of the Omnia (read here), I had predicted the 16GB model to be at RM2,500 and the 8GB model at RM2,300. It was my wish that the price for the 8GB model would dip below RM2,000.
When it was launched (also previewed at PC Fair earlier this month), the 16GB had a [...]

Sony Ericsson X1 – Keyboard seemingly better than TyTN II
The X1 comes with what Sony Ericsson calls an Arc Slider Design where by sliding out the screen reveals a really neat keyboard. The screen slides out and slightly up in an arc fashion, hence, the name. But it doesn’t tilt upwards like the HTC TyTN II, just slightly up. It’s somewhere between the TyTN [...]

Sony Ericsson X1 – A Sexy Body
Meeting the X1 the other day was really cool especially when it was a secret one. A peek at his body showed an incredibly strong frame. After all, it’s stainless steel. Reminded me of Superman, the man of steel. In X1, of stainless steel. The cool steel has a robust feel in the palm although [...]
