Singtel & Nokia N8

Singtel is really really giving me a lot of grief.  I would’ve switched to another telco immediately, save for the fact the Nokia N8 that I want is currently only being sold by Singtel.  Argh.  Anyway, I sent an e-mail to Mr Allen Lew of Singtel.  My e-mail is reproduced below.  I hope Singtel can […]

Singnet Mio Woes

I’m once again forced to blog using my hp cos my Singnet Broadband connection is so farked up that I can’t load any websites at all. I’ve sent 2 complaint e-mails to Singnet and someone from the helpdesk did try to contact me the last 2 days, but i was unable to answer their calls […]

Strange Birds…

Is something happening to my Twitter? It looks strange… Or did it just not refresh properly?

When my home laptop suddenly died 2 nights ago (the LCD screen konked out), it reminded me of the importance of backing up / archiving stuff.  So here goes.  One never knows when Twitter might konk out. Anyway, I bought a Lenovo Y460 to replace my late Toshiba laptop.  Played with the Y460 the whole […]

Nokia N8

Just visited the Nokia store at Parkway Parade. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the Nokia N8 pre-order will be launched next week. The phone should hit stores in Sep. Hehe. Won’t be buying via a pre-order though. My handphone contract will be up soon so i intend to renew my contract and get the phone. Yeah! […]

Ramen Culture

Heard from a colleague that Ramen Culture at Icon Village opened today so we decided to pop by for lunch.  Between the 3 of us we had the seafood yakisoba, black pig ramen and chilli miso ramen.  Black Pig Ramen I really enjoyed my black pig ramen – the soup was tasty and even though […]

Nokia N8

Found out a bit more about the WebTV services that the N8 will offer.  Here’s an extract from techielobang: The Nokia N8 enables access to Web TV services that deliver programmes, news and entertainment from channels like CNN, E! Entertainment, Paramount and National Geographic.  In addition to these international content, Nokia has collaborated with local […]

Technically Wrong

Twitter is crappy today!

Nokia N8

I’m eagerly waiting for the arrival of the Nokia N8 in Singapore.  Nokia has finally created a phone that’s nearly perfect (in terms of what I look for in a phone).  The only thing I’ve yet to ascertain is if there’ll be T9 keypad input for text.  The review I just read talks about QWERTY […]
