N97 vs E72

Finally, N97 was released and I was fortunate enough to get a chance to play with it for a bit. With all the hype that it gets, like Nokia’s answer for IPhone and BlackBerry, it was suppose to be THE PHONE!

But somehow I was left dissapointed. Im not going into the full specs coz there are dozens pagges explaining it in detail out in the web. But I’ll say this, N97 should be the phone if it has the ‘juice’ to run it.

You see, the high powered phone runs at such a small memory RAM. Its like running your car on AA batteries. Its not strong fast. It makes you wait a long time just to access your browser and other installed applications. Even my E71 runs faster than the N97. Even with new firmware release, its still slow. One thing’s good is its 5MP camera and the touch screen.

Now, Nokia E72 will be released soon. Basically its an E71 upgrade. 5mp camera and 250Mb Ram (same like N97). Maybe should consider N97 instead??

I came across this from The Might of the Pen. The poem is beautiful, and wanted to share this here.

Inspiration

I posted this on my other blog regarding how Paul Potts inspired me to achieve my dreams. I always have the goosebumps whenever I hear him sing this.

And get this,….I dont understand a SINGLE word he sang!

With American Idol 8 now airing, I always keep a lookout for somebody like Paul Potts. But so far, none.

Btw, my “dark horses” for season 8 are Danny Gokey and Alexis Grace.

Here’s Paul Potts for you.

World Economy and Malaysia

Just today, I was dealing on the phone with my suppliers, and the first reaction they make is exchange rate is at RP10500/USD. It has been troubling as my toko uses USD as exchange rates for supplies. This has caused us to do some cautious spending.

Amid the tense and anxiety, the positives in Indonesia is that the Indonesian government has taken steps to counter and face the inevitable problem. Among them is closing the stock exchange for a day to prevent massive sell-off, lay out a 5-step plan to reconciliate current bursa saham, etc. This after following the footsteps of US$700B US economy bailout.

This sent shivers up my spine, and I thought; “Malaysian economy how ah?”

It’s a bit annoying to see, much of the focus has been on the PM stepdown annoucement, who Sabah next DCM should be, and Anwar’s Sodomy charges.

These are valid issues but I feel that we Government of Malaysia should prepare more for the inevitable economic tsunami. There’s no point to reach a stage where GOM has to do a bailout like the US, got a lot of money meh?

Anyway, this my 2 cents worth,…. in todays rate, should be RM2 worth…:)

Cheers.

Ashley’s latest drawing

Here is Ashley’s intepretation of daddy! I then asked her to write down her name on it. Not bad I guess,…. The only thing I worry is that daddy’s got a Big Head and Thin Legs….!?
