August 25, 2008 · Filed Under Gadgets, Mobile Phones · Comment  · 62 views

You know this site is all about great affordable stuff right?. So you want a new mobile phone you can throw away when you get your PMS tantrums (if you are a girl) or you favorite football team loses and you put all your savings to your bookie (if you are a stupid moron)?

If you got 100 USD left in your pocket, then this would be the absolute phone for you. The All New Nokia 2630. I busted my Xpress Music phone 2 months after I bought it, I got it serviced but the week in between was hard thinking I couldn’t Txt (sms) all I want. Although i have my business phone with me, my personal phone is the busier one. So I got up and hunted for a phone. Price wasn’t my main concern at first.

So I went to a local Nokia Dealer and asked for their selections, they pointed me to the N-Series phones and the SuperNova lineup. I was sold on them and I was trying out some of them which I found amazing. Then I thought, why splurge on something I don’t essentially need? My other mobile will get replaced anyway.

Still the N-Series phones were quite tempting. That is when I sort of do my “take a leak” routine as a reason to think ten times before purchasing anything. I found this a good way to minimize impulse buying.

When I got out of the Mens room, I saw this pretty girl looking at lanyards in one section of the shop. Well I guess I have time to strike up a conversation, so I actually looked at lanyards my self and said “My phone is so heavy for these things, I think it’s nice for ID cards though”. The pretty girl which I got the name later as Jenny looked up and said, “Well you can always get a lighter phone”. What a nice idea I thought, so I talked to her some more and asked what phone she is using. That’s when she pulled out a bright white version of the Nokia 2630.

Obama: iPhone Savvy

August 18, 2008 · Filed Under Mobile Phones, Technology, Web · Comment  · 46 views

No Offense to the McCain Tech and Campaign guys, but Obama’s got you owned! Obama always speak of CHANGE, and then McCain started chanting it too. But who actually goes with the time and change? Well I modestly say Obama. Although I am not biased to either one of them, this discovery made me lean a little to the Obama side. Obama has got his own iPhone App!

There is a bunch of features there like current events, daily schedules for the Obama Campaign, Statistics and other Election related features like News and Videos which is a bit buggy sometimes.

Donate to Obama

I however dig the little green button at the button that says “Donate” with the countdown to the elections. It is nice way to get Donations, making it easy for the user to just click and go. The target crowd here are the techie and younger crowds, as your grandma couldn’t even squint to see the texts on the iPhone. Here is a thought however, what if Palin started taking some Model Shots of herself and make it availiable for download as an iPhone Wallpaper, would you Donate to her?
