KOOL GADGET'S - AN OVERVIEW Today I was spending sometime (a very long time; infact the longest I have spent in a bookshop) looking at magazines and books and videos and i came across the 2 most beautiful and cool gadgets I have ever laid my eyes on. They are the Dopod 900 and th O2 XDA Exec. Lets look at these 2 hot new entries into the gadget world. First lets check out the Dopod 900. This little mini computer which is referred to as a 3G sub note (note short for notebook am guessing) features 3G, Wifi capability, 1.3 mega pixel camera with a secondary 0.3 megapixel for communication purposes, Windows Mobile 5.0, QWERTY keyboard, mobile office and instant messaging capability. Basically in short, this is your ultimate office with an internet connection on your palm! This has just been released in Malaysia and currently a promotion which includes a 1GB memory card and a free bluetooth headset, the price of this babe is approximately RM42XX/- (Approx. USD.1050/-) Ofcourse these things don't come cheap! But hey, wouldnt you say for something like this, its totally worth it? I think so! Hehe.. And by the way, for you whose reading this, ahem, perhaps this is what I want for Christmas? (Hint hint...) For more information about the Dopod 900 visit the following link: The Dopod 900 Site Now for a look at the O2 XDA Exec. This babe's basically the same as the Dopod 900 too with features such as 3G, Wifi, Windows Mobile 5.0, QWERTY keyboard, mobile office and IM capabilities. But the camera is not 1.3 megapixel as the Dopod 900 but a XVGA camera (1280x960 pixels). And does not have a secondary camera for communication purposes. Other than that, the O2 comes in a smart looking black colour unlike the Dopod 900 which currently comes in Titanium black. But basically the appearance seems the same except for hardware differences.

XSYKO goes 3G - The developments Finally upgraded my number to enable Xpax 3G. Here's the new sim card. I was informed i will be able to access it once my old sim shows no network, which then i insert my new sim and I should be 3G enabled! Once again thank you Celcom and its team for the 3G launch for Xpax.

Yesterday I received an SMS in Bahasa (which I have yet to learn) mentioning the only things I understand which were Cititel, Mid Valley and 16-18/12/05. I got a friend of mine to translate it and it says that i could upgrade my Celcom Xpax to 3G for FREE at Cititel, Mid Valley from 16-18 of December 2005 between 11AM to 5PM and to take part in this I have to send an sms with "YA" to the number. I was very excited about this as I had faith in Celcom that they will indeed offer the 3G service soon. They say patience is a virtue, so figure! Anyway before getting too excited over an sms, I called Celcom today to check if this is for real and the Customer Service agent told me it indeed is and my number has been listed for a free upgrade! This is the first time I would be able to check out the 3G everyone talks about. So on the 16th once i get my hands on the 3G service I shall post another message on how cool 3G actually is. So till then, Keith for XSYKO Blog And a very big applause and thanks to Celcom! "Ini wilayah Celcom" Visit Celcom for more information about their services.
