unifi

My unifi system is all set up and running. One would normally ask, "How is it? Fast?" It is still too soon to call for verdict but so far so good is all I can say. Check out below:-

Ok? Acceptable? I am enjoying clear TV reception anyways.... hahahahahah!!!

HSBB

Hi. Seems like I start every post with something along the line of "long time since last post". Well, it's true right? Anyway, I will be having my Unifi HSBB installed tomorrow. Maybe that would change the frequency of my post?? Or I could be too caught up with streaming. Nyak-nyak-nyak.

Will post up on the speed of the HSBB when all is properly set up.

So, until then...........

iPhone 4

It's out! It's out! The iPhone 4 by Apple is out!!!

It is about time especially with the "leaked" and the "stolen" iPhone 4G some not too long ago. All the specifications are as expected. No real surprise there but definitely an interesting toy to own.

Now, when will it arrive in Malaysia shores?? Hopefully the yellow telco will come out with an attractive package with it. Even an option for those whom have got the iPhone 3GS with DiGi (1 month plus ago) and locked with a 2 year contract :(

If not, then the bright side is, I would not be close to this iPhone 4 baby anytime soon.

Oh well, life's like that.....

For the time being, I look forward for a facelift to my iPhone 3GS with the coming OS4 update.

p.s. the iPad is REALLY a cool toy too don't you think???

iPhone OS, Android, Windows Mobile & Symbian

I have personally tried everyone of the OS stated in the title of this post except for the Android. In fact there was another - Palm - which I deliberately left out as it is already out of contention, I believe.

What would be your choice? I find the iPhone OS is very stable and user friendly. Looking at it reminds me too of the Palm platform which is kind of similar with the icons arranged in grids.

Windows mobile is actually quite good but one needs to be ready for it sometimes "hangs". Symbian too is decent but I have experience my phone "hanging" as well.

But to make a fair comparison, one needs to look into the hardware as well for newer gadgets would normally be using a faster processor.

These are my thought on the smartphone OS war.

Comparison - Revisited

Previously I've made a comparison between two different broadband service. Today, I shall review the same service (by DiGi) using a different modem at a same location. Hopefully this post will get the attention of DiGi :)

Firstly, let me just say that I am not against or disappointed with DiGi service. I think their service is excellent but I am hoping that the would bring their Turbo 3G service to Putra Heights faster (Lat 3° 0'37.30"N; Long 101°34'44.91"E).

Okay, here goes.....

I tried the broadband service with my USB modem on my notebook and the results are:-












Next, I use the iPhone as a modem and this is what I got:-


I wonder why the difference? Is the reception from the USB modem superior? Even when in office, the 3G signal from the iPhone will fluctuate quite frequently to Edge speed BUT it is more stable with the USB modem.

Anyone with any answers or thoughts, do feel free to comment.

Apple iPhone 3Gs

Folks, I am ashamed to say that once again I've succumbed to my weakness. This time is the iPhone 3Gs. In a way you can blame DiGi's marketing but my weak "flesh" is mainly to be blamed. I got the i138 package from DiGi. That means apart from the price of the phone, I am paying RM138 + 5% monthly for my phone bill. This price includes 450 minutes of calls and other freebies. It also comes with an unlimited data plan capped to 3GB for turbo 3G speed. The phone cost comes to RM1090 after subsidy. Worth it?
