MSN messenger causing a STIR
Posted by isaac976These days we cant stop chatting over IM short for instant messaging, be it over MSN, Yahoo, QQ or even AOL, I can't allow myself to be offline with the IM even for a minute, my buddies always think that I am not working cause my Blackberry supports MSN, so does all my PDA, hence giving them the impression that I am always online, but I find its the only way to get connected with the world of friends I have from all over the world, They can just msg me and I would reply back when I get the msg.
I really cant live without IM these days, but these days If you guys had notice, someone or some people keeps sending you this msg saying hey check my cool photos at www.somethingatphotobucket.com bewary Its a Virus, and it self replicates it self and it continuinsly sends out same msg but with your OWN ID, I have friend saying that you are not Isaac, you are a imposter using his ID, ahah .. but its not really the case, its still us, but we are sending out msg 4 to 5 times a days to the same contacts even without us opening their account to msg them, this virus is really causing problems to the IM society. What really does happen after you click on the website? well I tried it before and guess what Nothing. well you must be thinking oh its nothing cause NOThing happened, thats exactly what the hackers want your to know, after going thru a sweep, I found out that I have been infected with worms, id stealer called Gampass, etc..etc.. My msn hangs when my friends reply me and I cant open up thier message, So I resorted to only using the OLDEST version of msn, the one without any picture, this virus only affect the MSN 7.5 and above to the MSN live series.
I am still finding a way to delete all these F#$%#$% virus from my laptop as the only way as I found out was to FORMAT !! yeah the dreaded F word, what choice do we got, Microsoft doesnt seem to be doing anything to protect end user like us, thats why I only use my phone's to go MSN now, whatever virus cant infect my blackberry, even if it does a simple wipeout will just do.
So next time be very careful of what you click on MSN, it really could just crash your PC or laptop.
Pearl Flip 8220
Posted by isaac976Blackberrys fight into the phone market has been aggresive recently, What ever people want in a phone they are all coming up with it, look at the recent BB 9000, it has got EVERYTHING.. everything i tell you, well except for camera xenon flast, but HEY they still got flash, this is one phone where I would say threw the whole kitchen sink in, The only worries come the battery life and software application shut or hang.
This BB dont come cheap either dont come too expensive , I would say they have priced it about just right, I have been following the scenes of the BB recently and found that It's listening to the consumers, cause most people want 3G in their phone, wants a 3.5mm jack etc..etc.. and this BB does it all, and then here comes the BB 8220 FLIP, wow .. now dont this little phone reminds you of that samsung 750i? if interested in flip phones, here are some specs to go along with

Blackberry 9000
Posted by isaac976Typing this out on a phone would be handy, but a phone which is a touchscreen like Iphone or Omnia or my old Dopod800 would take forever, what comes cool must come with a price, whats the price? well its not CASH !! its speed the luxury of having to type out a sentence in a few minutes is what i call luxury, replying my friends in MSN messenger at blazing speed making them think I am using a laptop feels great, Well it did make me switch from my PDA to a blackberry, and now I am loving it (mcdonals copyright) I cant part with the blackberry as they say you eat and sleep blackberry and its true, once you get hold of it and use it .. you would love it, trust me on this, unless you have stubby fingers
Awaiting the Blackberry bold is like waiting for the sky to drop, when is this beauty coming to Asia region, I am not going on Ebay to get myself one which is either stolen of the manufactring line or either a reject set, so if anyone knows any news of its launch let me know .. so so so awaiting this phone ..
Iphone date's in Singapore
Posted by isaac976The big anticipation of Iphone in Singapore reminise the times of long queue of awaiting hello kitty fans, but I dont think the sparks of Iphone will create such a frenzy among fellow Singaporeans as nearly 15% of them are already on the Iphone (cracked and Jailbreak with perfection)
I have a inside source whereby the Iphone is going to be launch by Singtel on the 2nd Week of June followed by the two other telco in the coming months of September respectively. This may be big news to the fellow fans which have been waiting for this gorgeous phone but as for me I am on the fence of Touch Diamond and the Blackberry Bold. I have no clue on how to use a regular handphone anymore (just kidding) well I tried going back to using it but I just can't . Dont laugh when I tell you when I tried to switch from a touch screen phone to a regular phone, Jabbing on the N95 screen when the alarm rang just to turn it off cause my fingers pain, So yup voice enable and touch screen is the way to go for me.
Why no Iphone hype from me, I deduce the thought of having one when one has so limited functionality and application, correct me if I am wrong.. well the bottom line is .. for you eager beavers out there to getting a phone, just a few more weeks and it shall be yours.
