Just last month I was thinking of throwing my BB Torch.
Was bored senseless. Nothing to shout about asthetically. Won’t turn heads as I whipped it out of my Gucci.
The BlackBerry® Torch™ 9810 (it looks exactly the same as my current 1st Gen BB Torch).
Yes, the BB is a totally reliable workhorse & the BBM is god-sent; perfect in most ways, ideal for my lifestyle. But sexayy? Nah.. that’s never an adjective to describe a BB.
Until I lay my eyes on the new BlackBerry® Bold™ 9900 that’s it. Whoaaaa.. now that’s a nice little new toy I won’t mind owning!!! And yes, I’m going to throw away my BB Torch. 
RIM: The BlackBerry Bold 9900 is the thinnest BlackBerry® smartphone yet at only 10.5mm, and the 1st to offer the perfect union of a high performance keyboard & touch display integrated within the BlackBerry Bold design.
Slim…& sexy!
Samsung Galaxy S2 Launch live from Barcelona at Malaysia time - 1am, 14th February 2011! Catch it live HERE and also on Samsung Univez Facebook !
A lot was said about the 4G standard, with some die-hard techies pushing to make their point heard about YTL Comms being misleading and misusing the 4G moniker.
I’m not going into that; for as a consumer, I seriously don’t give a s**t what they call it. Give me SPEEDY, ZIPPY & RELIABLE connection & I’m happy. Even better if all of that comes with reasonable rates.
The rates were finally revealed yesterday. Just as mentioned in the soft launch HERE , there is no plan, no monthly commitments. YES is SIM-less & it is Pay-As-You-Use.

YTL’s soft launch of their @Yes4G launch #ytlc @ Cafe Vienna, Lot 10 Bukit Bintang was yesterday & as usual I was impressed to the nines of with what YTL has in store for all of us Malaysians.
Heck, YTL is doing a better job than most of our politicians & even our government at this point of time, for while we lament, curse & felt let down by these parties, YTL actually spored hope, inspires the people & gave us all something actually worth to look forward to!
Listening to Wing, CEO of YTL Comm stirring opening dialogue with claims of YES to be the 1st 4G mobile internet network in the world, launched by a Malaysian conglomerate (YTL) for Malaysians certainly arouses feelings in me that was thankfully, entirely dissimilar to the emotions I felt when it was announced that Malaysia is aiming to build another world’s tallest building. Now, that’s a FIRST that we should be proud of!
Now all YTL has to do is live up to the hype & it’s promises.
That’s left to be seen in the coming months. But what I can do now is share the buzz on YES, from what I have absorbed over delicious Austrian food at Vienna Cafe last night. Hehehe… 😉
I’m up today with a halo of excitement over yesterday night.
Imagine a world where #StreamyxSucks, “try facing your modem to the east/west-south/ WTH??! for better coverage...”, data capping doesn’t exist & doesn’t matter anymore.
Would you like that?
Oh, did I hear a “YES” ??!!?

These 2 are always being compared. And supposedly the same. Of course there are sight differences here and there, mostly on the outlook, and some technical specs.
As with my previous post, the camera function is vastly different in terms of controls & obviously the images’ outcome too.
Here, I got some pictures to show of the aesthetic differences.
Dimensions.
Left: Nexus One – (L x W x T) 119 x 59.8 x 11.5 mm ( 4.69 x 2.35 x 0.45 inches)
Right: HTC Desire – (L x W x T) 119 x 60 x 11.9 mm ( 4.69 x 2.35 x 0.45 inches)
Both – 3.7” AMOLED Touch Screen, 480×800 WVGA resolution, with pinch & zoom capcabilities. 1GHz Processor speed. 576 MB RAM (N1 is 512MB only) and 512 MB ROM.
Here is Part 3 and last of my crazy guest bloggers write-up on smart phones. Josh Lim, an Apple fanboy, takes on the analogy of his beloved iPhone versus the HTC Desire.
Blackberry user? You can read about HTC Desire vs Blackberry HERE . Or HTC Desire vs an older Android. What improvements were there? Read HERE.
Hello I am Josh Lim from www.josh.my.
I use a PC for daily work, flirt with a Macbook Pro for occasional presentations, but am in a serious relationship with my iPhone. It is worth noting that before I bought my iPhone, I had at least 3 dreams about getting an iPhone. As of such you can expect me to be biased.
However, being a tech geek I will give you a technical breakdown of the iPhone 3Gs vs the HTC Desire, and from there you can decide what’s best for you!
Weight
The iPhone 3Gs and the HTC Desire weigh about the same (133 g vs 135g ), seriously! I actually weighted on a digital scale that Rebecca uses for cooking (that can measure very precise grams). The scale fluctuated a bit, but you can’t really tell the difference in weight.
For those who had been following my tweets (with hashtag #Maxis10Reviews), you’ll notice that I have been using the camera a lot on my HTC Desire.
Like I said before, I’m no techie & I’m appreciating the phone more for it’s æsthetics and it’s easy to use functions suitable for an on-the-go female.
And like all females, I whip out my camera more often that not at any events and for any reason. I do however, rely more on my point and shoot camera as my previous handphones doesn’t photographs very well.
Things are different now that I got a HTC Desire. Yup, even my Nexus One loses out to this baby. Hence, I thought this is worthy of a review post.
