"Is that a gadget in your pocket...?"


Facebook Chat for Windows MobileYesterday

If you havent tried Palringo, here's a good reason to start- they've got Facebook Chat! So far its the only working solution I've seen to get Facebook chat on windows mobile but its pretty darn good! You show as online to your contacts and you can also see and reply to friend requests. I'm going to give it more time and then give you my full impressions after a day or two.

Does Your Device Excite You?Yesterday
These days its not enough to have a device that can 'do it all'. It has to excite me in the process. I realize that as much as my Ubiquio and iPaq could do, they simply didn't excite me in the way that my Fuze does. Aside from constantly checking the screen to catch just a glimpse of its VGA goodness, I love the touch interaction with the screen. I like the steady feeling of knowing each morning when I wake up that my phone is going to wake up too! I love the chimes and alarms available and I even appreciate the small things like the HTC volume selector.
I thought I'd have a really hard time moving from a QWERTYbar form factor to a slider but the quality and quantity of the screen more than makes up. And the HTC onscreen touch soft keyboard makes it such a pleasant experience to do a quick reply without having to open the keyboard. And when its time to really settle in and do some long typing, theres nothing like the spacious keyboard to let me really express myself.
Battery life, as with every device I own, is something that I have to find a way to cope with. I have a total of 3 batteries and simply swap them out with one in the Fuze, one in my purse, and one in the charger- I never have to worry about running out of juice. And swapping the battery means that I get to do a soft reset and thus a bit of spring cleaning routinely!
So, does your device know how to press *your* buttons?

Teeter!November 30

My latest favorite time waster is Teeter, the motion sensitive game found on the newer HTC devices. I had initially dismissed it as uninteresting when I first started using my Fuze, but lately ive been making my way through the higher levels and now i am addicted!

No Xperia NeededNovember 29

I've just stumbled across TaskFacade from the XDA Developers Forum, which is an excellent application to give you a more useful tile experience than the one on the Sony Xperia. I mapped it to a long press of my enter button and now i can get a visual of what apps I'm running. Fantastic!

UBiQUiO 503G Leaked Final ROMNovember 29
It seems like every day I get an email asking me about the 3.10 ROM for the Ubiquio 503G. So, for those of you who need it, it is located right HERE. I have no idea how long it will remain up, and I didn't put it up there so please don't send me a ton of emails asking about it. It is assumed you have some knowledge about flashing a new ROM to your Ubiquio, and if you don't then you probably shouldn't be doing it or you will most likely brick your phone.
This ROM addresses the following issues that were still unsolved by the previous version 3.05:

1. Voice dial can be activated by pressing the BT headset button

2. Auto answer feature when the BT headset is connected has now been added

3. Removed function that WIFI will turn automatically by push mail where there is no GPRS available

4. Default input indication to "abc" in idle and call screens

5. 4GB SD card support as well as all the SD card fixes are included

6. Optimised WIFI power management

7. Camera Settings can be saved except environment & effect options

8. Fixed some radio bugs for Europe

9. "LED setting of new email doesn't take effect in sound & Notificaitons" fixed

10. Fixed the problem of deep sleep issue. This is a bug present in all 503Gs but very few have noticed it. With your current rom, it can be replicated as follows:

a. Enable sms sent notification

b. send an sms and as soon as you press sent press the power button to put the phone to sleep.

c. wait until you hear a beep and try to bring the phone out of sleep by pressing the power button. You will notice that the phone will not waik up unless you keep the power pressed for 5-6 seconds.

This bug also affects the ability to use repeading alarms programs such as phone alarm.

Good luck to all, and I hope this helps you get more enjoyment out of your device! And remember, I don't use the Ubiquio 503G anymore so please, don't look to me for technical suppport :)


EDIT:
Here's a video of it I did early this summer:
