HTC HD2 makes official appearance in O2 UK promo

I think we can call it as pretty much official now. Engadget has spotted the HTC HD2 in an O2 UK October promo catalog. We know Windows Mobile 6.5 devices (or Windows Phones, if you may) will be rolling out October 6, and this handset will be probably following in the next week on the 12th. Though, there are murmurs of an October 24 release and none as of yet for a steteside release. We’ll see how this all goes. There’s a little bit less than a week left before the fun begins.

Palm Pre or Blackberry Tour or HTC Hero for Sprint?

Question:
Im getting sprint service and i want to know which phone out of these is better?
Answer:
It depends on what you like, I have owned the Palm Pre, and returned it for the Hero. The Pre is one of the nicest phones out their, i would have kept it but their aren't alot of apps on their, only 100. Plus it sounds weird, but i actually prefer an on screen keyboard, every time you want to text or go on the web you have to slide the phone open and close it to fit in the hands comfortably, plus the hero has a 3.2 inch screen v. the 3.1 on the pre, and 8,000 apps available and growing. If you need a keyboard go with the Pre everyone says its cramped but my thumbs are huge and after a week i was blazing fast at typing, it just takes getting used to like every other phone. also the Hero has an available micro sd card slot allowing up to 32gb v. the pre's 8gb internal.

Embedded C++ (A better Hello World and OpenGLES)

This one has support for fullscreen mode (Make sure you link to aygshell.lib for this to work)
Also make sure you setup the environment for Standard SDK 500.

The example shows a rotating triangle.
You can toggle fullscreen mode by touching the screen (or using a stylus).

HTC Hero - Celcom Promo

It’s finally announced. Celcom revealed it’s HTC Hero promo today. Priced at RM1,799 on-top of a monthly commitment of RM149 which includes RM50 for calls and RM99 for Data Unlimited. It will come with a 16Gb MicroSD Card and Jabra Bluetooth headset as well. Available from today at all Celcom BlueCube outlets – nationwide. Is it a good deal? Depends. If you’re planning on using Celcom – you’ll be paying RM149 a month anyway. Otherwise, Maxis will cost you RM108 which consists of RM50 for calls and RM58 for 500Mb of data. If you’re a light user like me – Maxis will do just fine. But if you’re heavy on tethering – then yes, it’s a damn good deal. After all, the HTC Hero is still currently going for RM2,399 (Add RM100 for a 16Gb Card) in retail shops.

The Real Cost of Owning a Smartphone. Who Wins?

Smart phones are selling like crazy. It seems almost every week a new smartphone is announced. With the proliferation of the smart phone market in the last two years since the original iPhone launch, and several new phones featuring better processors like the Snapdragon and NVIDIA Tegra, smartphones are becoming more like mobile do-it-all computers than the cell phones of yesterday.

You have the Blackberry, iPhone, HTC G1, Nokia E71x and of course, the Palm Pre. The phones and plans associated with them do vary greatly and it would be beneficial for your to do your research before you make that two year commitment in purchasing a very costly service. For some of you, the need for owning one is easily convinced, for others it may take more time.  For some like me, this may be the only phone you now own and did away with your land line years ago.

A great article was written by PC World examining the costs associated with the cost of ownership for a smartphone. Hit the link to read.

Windows Mobile 6.5 - What is the big deal?

I am really not impressed. THAT would be an understatement. Mike Dano of Fiercewireless said it best when he mentioned, “it’s hard to compete with free”. It’s about time too. Initially I gave WM a chance by putting time to learn the OS. Did you see that? I said,”I HAD TO PUT TIME to learn!” And to top it off, it was such a drag trying to figure out where everything should be. It’s like the geeks from Redmond think that everybody would like to debug their own stuff all the time and slowly also painfully figure out where files taken on the camera are stored.

Of course the WM geeks would say, “You just suck coz you have one less chromosome! WM is Cool!”

Well it’s not. It took me exactly 1 minute to figure everything in the iPhone. It’s so simple really. All pictures taken go into – guess? – that’s right! PHOTOS. Not some FILE –> MENU shit. Even the HTC HERO is easier to use though it took me some time to get used to Sense but after a while, you kind of know where to look for what. I won’t go into Symbians because they’re really just plain boring and after a gazillion years of using Nokia phones, I am kind of sick of it. Sony Ericsson? One bad experience years ago that I remembered. 7 steps just to create an SMS. Yep. 7 tormenting steps. One bad experience did it in for me.

Anyway, back to WM. I think Microsoft should just put the poor dejected soul to sleep. Look at WM 6.5, it’s a bastardization of the OSX, Android and others. Now they also have Marketplace? Blimey! How original! After many years of WM bullshit, it’s about time the people get what they want.

User friendliness. Simple isn’t it? One can only imagine how a company as hi tech and great as Microsoft miss such a simple basic need. Previously, the positioned WM as an executive / business OS that can blend seamlessly with your Windows desktop. Of course people bought all that crap for years. I thought it was really a defensive move by Microsoft simply because they knew WM is clunky and UN-user friendly. So what is the best way to continue to sell and push for this? Strike fear into the minds of consumers and corporate executives of course! Make them fear of losing precious data simply because anything other than WM phones may cause brain damage.

Bah. I tried it and I hate it. Next…

Should I get a Htc Touch pro 2 or Htc Hero?

Question:
I really like both phones but dont know which one to get. Which one would you perfer to buy?
Answer:
It depends on what you use a cell phone for. The HTC Touch Pro 2 is a really nice phone! But it has a bad web browser compared to the hero's. If you use a phone mainly for texting, and calling, get the pro 2. The pro 2 also has this really neat feature with calling. It allows you to conference call with many people at once, it blocks sound of back round noise, and if you lay it on its front side it will immediately go into speaker phone mode. It has a mute button in back for speaker phone mode too. Now the hero. The hero has a nice touch screen key board, to me not even close to as nice as the pro 2's. But it has a large app store, has great internet capabilities, has a nice camera (both touch pro 2 and hero's cameras are equal). Plus it is ran on google android, and has a special HTC feature called HTC Sense. Great for you to be able to customize. So they both are great! It just depends what you use it for. Good luck!

HTC Hero: My Review

I’ve been playing with this phone for the past 2 days and have since rooted 2 units to enable the much desired Android Market. As some of you may know, Android Market is not available in Malaysia due to licensing issues and according to SIS (official distributor of HTC in Malaysia), it will be made available in the near future. So, how does the HTC Hero compares with the Apple iPhone? Continue reading for my take:

Without the Android Market, the HTC Hero will be like the iPhone without it’s App Store. To enable the Android Market, you will have to root (or in iPhone’s term – jailbreak) your device. I followed the instructions on The Unlockr which are fairly easy to follow. After rooting your device, you can then install a custom ROM to gain access to the Android Market. Click here to learn how to do just that.

Once you’re done that 2 steps – you now have yourself a rooted Hero where you will have access to such features like Wireless Tether, Free Games and Applications. If you wish to use your HTC Hero as a modem – you can click here to learn how. To those who are not familiar, this feature will enable internet access on your laptop using your phone’s subscribed Data Plan (Internet connection) when Wifi connection is not available. To do that – you will need to install HTC Sync software which can be found in your SD Card that came with your phone and connect your device to your laptop. At the moment, this feature only works on Windows and not the Mac. Damn you, HTC.

I am sure most of you have seen comparison photos of the HTC Hero and Apple iPhone placed side by side. Just like the photo above, the size difference is not significant. But in actual, the HTC Hero is much smaller and has a better grip on your hand. The screen is as good if not better. Pictures and YouTube videos look sharper most probably due to its smaller size.

Since I have not had the chance to experience the reported lag on the Sense UI, I could not comment on its improvement. But screens swipes are smooth and have not noticed any lag at all as am currently using the latest ROM from UK. I have also noted that the Malaysian sets come with a newer ROM compared to the initial batch of the phone. For people who are worried about a laggy interface, you can rest assured – it has been resolved giving a top notch user experience.

The built-in music player is nothing compared to the iPhone. It’s pretty basic and gets the job done. But the speakers on the phone itself is super loud compared to the iPhone. The Hero will turn your album artwork into a CD jewel case. It has it’s own little “copy” of iPhone’s cover flow – but pales in comparison, visually.

The HTC Hero is all about Social Networking. I gotta give it to HTC for making this an out-of-the-box experience. I already have all the apps I need without paying a single cent. Apps like Twitter, Instant Messaging, Flickr, FaceBook are so well integrated with one another. No longer do I move in and out of each app to read updates from my friends. Its all in one-screen, one swipe. Side note, I paid US$14.99 for BeeJive on my iPhone just to get Instant Messaging working.

Great, seems like its all good? Nope. Not exactly. I hate the Video quality of the camera. It’s jerky and low in image quality. I’ve not experienced the 3GS’s – but from online videos seen so far, I think that’s way smoother and with the capability to edit videos on the spot – Apple win hands down.

Surfing webpages and reading blogs – I came across some problems trying to focus on the part I wish to zoom in to as the Hero constantly re-flows texts on the page. Especially when you visit sites like Engadget, you’ll notice you’ll have difficulty in tapping an image to zoom in to fit the screen. Somehow, it just keep going to the text area instead of zooming in on the image. Hope there will be a fix for this soon in upcoming firmware updates.

If you’re thinking of getting the HTC Hero, here are a few tips I would share with you. Get your Gmail, YouTube, Flickr, Twitter and FaceBook accounts ready. When you switch on the phone for the first time – you will be required to provide those for a better start-up experience. I’ve did my research prior to getting my phone – hence I’ve got all those ready before hand.

If you’re getting a Malaysian set with 2-years warranty from SIS, do remember to take up the upgrade offer to a 16Gb SD Card for an additional RM100. I did a quick market price check and PC shops at LowYat Plaza are selling it at RM175 a pop. Yes, you will still get the packaged 2Gb card that came with the phone after the upgrade. If the shop say otherwise, it’s a con job.

To me, being an iPhone user since July 2007 – the HTC Hero is what the iPhone 3GS should be, but not. At this time and age, Social Networking is key and HTC nailed it. Apple … time to wake up from your slumber.

Imagenio + Router Zyxel + Conexión wifi de móviles: la solución

Ayer, después de indagar por el fantabuloso mundo de los foros del internés durante unas horillas, logré encontrar la forma de conectar mi Meizu M8 por Wifi con el router P660HW-D1 de Telefónica, uno de los routers más mierdosos distribuídos por la compañía, especialmente si tenéis contratado el desastroso y lento Imagenio.

La cuestión es que este router da muchísimos problemas a la hora de conectar por wifi dispositivos móviles (por lo que he leído, cómo mínimo da problemas con iPhone, modelos varios de HTC, Samsung, algunos portátiles de Apple, el propio Meizu M8, etc., por lo que deduzco que es un problema generalizado).

Ojo al hiperrealismo de la sombra del router en la imagen. Desconozco la autoría de la imagen, pero es terrible xD

He podido ver bastantes posibles soluciones al problema, pero la mayoría de éstas requerían liarla bastante en la configuración y realmente no representaban una solución rápida, eficaz y más o menos infalible.

Por suerte, existe una solución bastante rápida y sencilla; se trata de descargar este firmware y actualizar el router con él. Al parecer, se trata de un firmware que la propia Zyxel ha facilitado a aquéllas personas que han reclamado al servicio técnico de la empresa por este mismo problema… no sé si realmente ésta será la procedencia del firmware, pero lo que sí que os puedo decir es que funciona a mí me ha solucionado el problema.

Para aquéllos que tengáis Imagenio, cabe decir que en un principio el firmware no altera en ningún momento el funcionamiento de este servicio, por lo que podéis actualizar el firmware sin miedo a cargaros nada.

El proceso de aplicar la actualización será más o menos rápido dependiendo de cómo tengamos en ese momento configurado el acceso del router. Me explico: por lo que sé, en los tríos de Telefónica siempre se configura el router para que únicamente se pueda acceder desde el portal Alejandra, por lo que si tenéis un trío y nunca habéis tocado nada de la configuración, os tocará deshabilitar el portal Alejandra para poder actualizar el firmware (yo ya lo tenía deshabilitado hace tiempo, siempre he preferido el configurador web de Zyxel). Podéis encontrar toda la información que podáis necesitar al respecto en este tutorial.

Una vez desactivado el portal Alejandra, accedemos al router desde el navegador mediante la dirección http://192.168.1.1/ e introducimos el nombre y password que hayamos configurado previamente en el portal Alejandra.

Llegado a este punto, nos encontraremos con el configurador web de Zyxel. Clicamos en “Firmware” (nada más entrar ya nos aparecerá este enlace). Tras esto, nos aparecerá un formulario con un botón “Examinar”. Buscamos el archivo nuevo.bin que contenía el rar y presionamos “Upload”. Durante los siguientes 2 min. aprox. el router actualizará su firmware, por lo que es especialmente importante no desconectarlo de la electricidad y esperar pacientemente.

Finalmente, ya tenemos nuestro router actualizado. Ahora tan sólo queda probar de nuevo de conectar nuestro dispositivo móvil al router y, con un poco de suerte -así ha sido en mi caso, y por lo que leído en otros foros, a todos aquéllos que lo han probado también – ya podremos disfrutar de conexión Wifi.

What is currently the best T-Mobile Phone?

Question:

ive only had the razr and razr 2. i have texting now which has been affecting my decision. i would probably only want a phone with a qwerty keyboard. my top two now are the my touch and htc touch pro 2. i have kinda looked a lil at the curve 8900. tell me what u think?

Answer:

Well the MyTouch has an internal keyboard and lacks the full out keyboard on the outside. It is a great phone. It takes some practice typing on an only touch screen phone. It takes time getting warmed up to it. That is coming from experience. Maybe you would want to consider the HTC G1 phone instead. I have the G1 and it is a FANTASTIC phone.One of the best phones. The HTC Pro 2 is alright,but it is not android.
