Blackberry 9790

Blackberry 9790

December 24, 2011 My mom and dad bought me my first Blackberry phone (and probably the last, for now!) It’s a Blackberry 9790 which has been just released.

I was actually planning to buy a Blackberry 9360 but when we got to the store that dad told us about, next to it was Blackberry 9790 with better specs. Since their price difference wasn’t big and plus we thought, why not because it’s better – we decided to go for it instead.

Here is a short information about it from BBmanila:

The BlackBerry Bold 9790 packs the BlackBerry 7 OS, runs with a 1GHz MG1 Marvel Tavor processor coupled with 768MB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage for all your music, videos and files. BlackBerry Bold 9790 will also support 32GB micro SD cards, has a 2.45″ capacitive touch VGA touch screen display with 246 dpi resolution.

 

It’s awesome! Haven’t used it much yet. The only thing I don’t like is that the battery runs out fast (or it could be maybe, because I’m using it all the time for now, downloading and tweeting) It’s also touchscreen which was surprising because I thought it was just a QWERTY. You see, the phone is not officially available in our country (I believe) yet (I’m in Thailand right now). I did see a post about it from Techpinas.

Another thing is that it’s in line with the Bold Series of Blackberry units, I expected I’d get a Curve but I got a better one! Yay!

I haven’t found themes though, I’m not sure if the ones I found from NancyDrewThemes a friend told me about would work with it because they’re for OS6 while it’s OS7. I’m not ready to brick my phone yet lol I mean, try too many stuffs. For now I’m pretty happy, using Kik messenger with my boyfriend who’s using my Samsung Galaxy Mini that I left him in Philippines.

Blackberry 9790 also has a good camera! I almost forgot, it’s 5 mega pixels and it also has face detection. Superb! I hope I’ll learn more things about Blackberry OS after some time ;)

 

Christmas baby!

Merry Christmas!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

I thought I’d never blog but I’m here making a quick post to greet you! Merry Christmas! I hope later the gourmet brownies delivered from a friend will be here! Haha I’m not sure if she was just kidding. But really, brownies on Christmas will really be lovely, then cookies. Then..yum!

However, my friend has not called me. Bummer, but anyway, what matters is I’m with my family and friends this Christmas even without yummy food ;P

A Problem with Sun Broadband Prepaid Plugit

Failed to get Host IP Address for the WebServer, WebServer not exsisted, or cannot be accessed now.

For some reason, whenever I’m using Sun Broadband (which I borrowed from Christian) I would get the error message above. I can’t also access some websites I could access with our internet at the office (luckily, I could use it anyway I want to and that it’s working fine at the moment)

Which is pretty disappointing of Sun Broadband, I am a big fan of them actually, being a big hater of Smart. I wonder what’s going on and what triggers this to happen? I mean, the error above.

Still, I would say Sun Broadband is way better than Smart, other than being able to access cPanel (excluding some websites I can’t access) and Symbianize (there’s a way to get around that though, thanks to OpenDNS and Google Public DNS) My tricks however, did not work with the websites I couldn’t access (the static DNS usage).

For one, I couldn’t access JQ awhile ago. I was able to yesterday, I wonder what’s up?

Shoutmix going gone?

While I was restoring my other blog (from being hacked) I noticed this was written on my Shoutmix Box

Important Notice from Shoutmix

Important Notice from Shoutmix

Up in the screenshot (or in this website) you’ll notice the note “Important Notice” so I clicked and it took me to Shoutmix’ announcement that you can also view by clicking here >> Shoutmix Announcement / Shoutmix Open Letter

Shoutmix Open Letter

Shoutmix Open Letter

As a loyal user of their service, I read the letter thoroughly. It seems things are not really working out for the Shoutmix company while we guys are enjoying and relaxing. I would love to go for the paid plans, however, the thing is I have too many websites that I put Shoutmix into which will be very costly for me. I am a free user at the moment but given the chance (and funds) I would really love to put effort into purchasing their service.

So, there are only two solutions I could think of:

  • Look for an alternative for Shoutmix which is as good as it is – that does not have spams and pop up ads which are really bad.
  • Totally remove the chatbox which will make websites boring but well..

I think I’ll be going for the last option since I do not know an alternative to Shoutmix, for now. All free users have until January 1, 2012. Sad to see Shoutmix is going gone indeed being free :(

 

WordPress 3.3

Wordpress 3.3

Welcome to WordPress 3.3!

The new WordPress version is out! I don’t know since when but I upgraded a blog of mine a few days ago, now I also updated JQ. So far, it seems okay, nothing much different other than the following:

Wordpress 3.3 File Uploading

The file uploading is now not hassle-free because now, you just drag them here and there! Isn’t it neat? It makes life so much easier in my opinion.

I think the admin toolbar has somehow changed too, only not as much.

And finally the last thing I noticed was the Publish section with the scheduling of dates. Although it’s kind of weird.

Notice how the dates now also have the real month, before they were just numbers. Or maybe it’s just me or my settings? Ah well!

Ooops, I got caught. Yup, this is a scheduled post I’m probably somewhere out there right now. But I hope you liked the post! See ya ;)
