A Handier Tool

Friday, 25th July 2008

In October last year, I blogged about a handy tool, which was the HTC TyTN II, which had the works in terms of features.

There was however two severe downsides to it. Firstly, the battery would be drained extremely quickly. Typically, the phone had to be charged every other day under normal use. If I did something resource-intensive like watching a Ps Prince video or surfing the Internet, then the battery could only last several hours.

Secondly, the phone also got more and more laggy. When I composed an sms for example, there would be a latency of a couple of seconds before the letters appeared on the screen.

Well, the latest gadget to hit the market is the Samsung i900 Omnia. Since I will be getting my first quarterly bonus at the end of this month, I thought it would be the perfect time to upgrade to a handier tool.

The Omnia has a 5 megapixel autofocus camera with flash. It also has 16GB of in-built memory to store loads of songs, videos and Ps Prince sermons.

After using it for a couple of days, it does appear that the battery can last much longer, and the response time is acceptable.

Here is a picture of the Omnia taken by my daughter (and she even got our pet hamster Henry posing next to it).

Speaking of upgrading, though I'd share this joke which my Managing Director forwarded to us about a week ago. I found it quite FAR-NEE...

Subject: Installing a Husband

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance -- particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NBA 3.0, and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,

Dear Desperate:

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'I Thought You Loved Me.exe' and try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta. Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).. Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0 In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,
Tech Support
