My dad was gonna go buy his Omnia and when my bro tagged along with him, they bought mine too!! it was a pleasant surprise. Even more so when my dad said it's a gift. I luv u daddy! haha....
So yeah, I got my new phone today, and I spent the whole day configuring the phone. Getting it to go online, surf the web using wifi. The only problem I have now is that I can't load youtube, even though there's a special application designed specially for youtube. Hmmmm....
This is the phone that I got.
it's a SE U10i. AKA Aino, the in between of SE Satio and Yuri.
it acts as a multimedia phone that allows one to control videos, music, pictures and podcast with a touch of the finger. Literally! It's a touch screen phone and some of you may wonder, why did I get this if I don't like touch screen. Well, the beauty of Aino is that, it comes with a normal keypad as well! Look picture below.
I like it cause it actually allows me to control stuff through the screen (its only reserve for the media stuff so that means I can't accidentally touch something and send something out without realizing it) and it has a normal keypad that will help me especially when I need to make a phone call or type a message while my eyes are diverted somewhere else ie: lecturer's face with an innocent look.
I know some people thinks that it's not that great, but it fulfilled all the criteria that I wanted for a phone. I wanted a phone that has built in wifi which means no more lugging the heavy laptop everywhere I go, a slide phone, looks beautiful (in my eyes ler) and has decent applications. The aino fulfills all the criteria and more.
Aino was first created as a remote player (I think that's what they called it.) for PS 3. but it doesn't matter if I don't have a PS 3 cos after looking at what the phone could do to enhance a PS 3 (ie, acting as the controller), I would still prefer to play it with the PS 3 remote.
Well, at least now my phone can act as my walk along podcast, MP3 player, youtube downloader (have to configure that), facebook checker (as if I don't check it often enough) and my bed side clock as it comes with a charger dock and it shows the clock when it's being docked.
Ohhhh!! the best part of the phone?? It needs no 'kinetic' energy whatsoever unlike my old samsung phone that is only willing to sent sms and make phone calls if I shake it around until it sends or call. =.= My friends find that phone freaking amusing. Seriously!! my old phone, if the sms is not being sent, I give it a few hard shakes and whee... the sms is sent. though when it reaches the other person at the other end is a whole different matter ler.
Oh yeah, did I mention that the phone can read audio books as well?? time to go dl some and have it 'read' it me for a change. :D
That's all folks!!
signing off,
