The Transplant!...

nse2.jpg
Last time I used a Sony Ericsson was back in 2000 when they first came out with the bluetooth headset and I remember that it was a black and white screen but damn it was dependable!

Now I was switching between a Nokia to a Sony Ericcson and I didn’t want to install any software on a computer to complete the transfer! So I decided that I dont need to keep any of the old text msgs, I just want my numbers!

The Process:

  • I established a full trusted bluetooth connection between the W880i and the E60.
  • I decided how I wanted to start off the transfer to keep it manageable, I would do it by numbers and letters starting from the bottom going up!
  • So I start with 7, then 3, then Z, then Y, and all the way up to A
    • So for Z I would Mark all the names that start with Z and then start a bluetooth transfer to the W880i, and then I would compare all the names starting with Z between the phones before proceeding to the next letter or number until I was finished, a few times I was lazy about checking so I think I had a few missing which I will find out with time!
  • This whole process took about an hour and a half because of the checkin and marking, the bluetooth transfers were extremely fast.

As of right now I’m really enjoying how light this phone is, and I have to say that it is decently loud for its size, but you barely feel the vibrate feature of this phone. The menu is simple enough but I keep end phone calls when I want to just clear something, its all really funny getting used to it, but I am enjoying it. I will post a full review after thurough usage!

Sony GIGA Juke Units...

At last somebody has come up with something that satisfies all my requiements! I don’t know wy no one came up with something like this from a while back now.

This is the perfect solution to listening to your digital music without switching the computer on!

NAS-50HDE bookshelf system:

  • 80GB hard drive. (Music transfered from PCs, ripped from CDs, recorded from Radio, and analog sources)
  • 16x CD Reader and it can tage your songs.
  • 4.3-inch color display to browse through tracks.
  • It can sync with your Sony Walkman, Walkman phone, PSP, other machiens they might have in mind.

NAC-HD1E deck handles all those same duties, but loses the speakers, beefs up the audio componentry, and offers 250GB of storage.

I would be going for the unit without the speaekers since it can store a large amount music and I can utiliza my own speakers!

OCZ 2GB Mini USB...

OCZ2GB.jpg

This is the most useful USB storage I have ever seen, its tiny as hell and its going for $84. Its small enough that it can fit inside your wallet inbetween the cards. The way it has been built it seems to be very durable, I’m assuming it isn’t waterproof but it will keep your files safe in your pocket or on your keychain. I think I will be getting this.

Acer xSeries LCD monitors...

24-incher steps up the resolution to a pretty standard 1,920 x 1,200, contrast ratio to 1000:1, and brightness to 400cd/m², with a 5 millisecond response other wide screens. They have other screens but this is the only one worth looking at and it is going for $600 which is amazingly cheap.

Titanium and Carbon Fibre Gatling Pocket...

This is one hell of flashlight, crafted of the finest materials and it is hand made with the best components. I have never seen a flashlight this good, and it looks like a gatling gun. The nob in the back is to adjust the lighting. If you order one it takes 3 months to get because it is handmade in the US. When you adjust the brightness it also affects the runtime and it can get blindingly bright. The price ranges from $295 to $370 depending on the version you want. Its pretty small and fits comfortably into your hands.

Text Msgs...

I have this tendency not to delete text messages, I’m not sure why but sometimes I remember what was going on when reading the text messages and I laugh, but my list got so long it took a long while to go through them.

Number of Text Messages: 1368

After an hour of going through them and deleting the ones which were useless I got down to 323 text message which is pretty decent compared to before and you can go through them. Some people automatically delete messages, I usually can’t do that right away for some reason. And some text messages are too funny to delete.

I really wanted this phone and after seeing it I decided to get it. W880i is one slim phone with a great interface. I really do enjoy the Sony Ericsson interface and its extremelly light. I got it for 185 KD and I have to say its worth it because its so damn light. I usually wait on a phone and don’t get the first version but this is one hell of phone and I just hope it doesn’t show any issues with time, but I think that is asking a lot.
Package:

  • Phone
  • Battery
  • USB
  • 1GB Micro Memory Stick
  • Headphones
  • CD (software)
  • Manual

ETC Visit...

DSC01234.jpg

My friend has been asking me about setting up a proper home theater system in his house that he is building. So I told him if he wants something proper I can take him to ETC but his budget for the whole thing has to be between 7’000 KD and 10’000 KD for something proper. And most of that money is going into the projector since he can get some decent equipment with that. And this is something that will easily last him 6-9 years down the line. This is what I have seen from hometheaters in Kuwait and in the US. If your going to do it, then do it proper and do it once.

If you didn’t have a full budget this is what I proposed in the order of importance to the whole setup:

  1. A/V Reciever (7.1 DTS, THX Approved, 1080P, upscaler, HDMI 1.3, the works)
  2. Speakers (Mirage or Meridean top of line)
  3. Projector (at least 1080i HD)
  4. Screen (Retractable)

That is what I came up for him and he gave them the plans. They played for us Fantastic Four on 1080i with the high end projector off of the PS2 upscaled to 1080P through the Sherwood reciever and it looked amazing. It is probably the best I have ever seen, we were all mesmerized by it and I totally think it is worth it if you are into watching movies and spending a lot of time doing that. It couldn’t get any clearer, and the sound was just perfect. You could hear everything just as it is happening and you can’t get enough of it, its fantastic. I forgot we were only visiting.
