I want to post about my new keitai of course but there this idiot at http://www.hatchiko.com who has been stealing many of my posts word for word and it’s pissing me off. I’ve already notified his/her hosting company about the copyright infringement and they are in the process of taking the site down. It’s very irritating and making me cautious about what I post here for the time being.

I was worried about this screen which has a glare too but at home it seems to be ok and the contrast isn’t too bad for my purposes.

I like the macbook, especially the black version. The only thing why I didn’t buy it yet is that the screen has special high contrast screen. It is not so fine for photography works.

Congrats Roy! And excellent purchase. I was just getting ready to go buy the 2.16GHz White model myself. I’m an ADC developer and they offer big discounts on systems so I plan on buying mine through the ADC Hardware Purchase Program.

The MacBooks are cool and light and not too heavy. Easy on the wallet too. Enjoy!

Aquarius, yes I have made mistakes but I cut my losses as soon as possible and sell whatever the mistake was so I can get something back for it. But generally when it comes to hardware I do quite a bit of research beforehand so I know what I’m getting into. Recently, partly out of boredom I bought a copy of Vista which was a big waste of money IMO.

Rafael, yeah Vista is a drag to install and set up..

Jan, thanks for the tip!

Rick, I’m going to go into this in more detail later on but basically the sound quality is inferior and the reception is sketchy. I can’t really say if it is just the MediaSkin or the network or both but here are a few things that have been happening consistently:

1. I’ll be sitting somewhere getting a strong signal and waiting for a call and then after a while my friend will call me and yell at me saying she tried to call me a couple times just now and I was out of range. I’ve been on the opposite end and had the same frustrating experience trying to call someone with an AU and not get connected. Maybe this happened before but I never noticed it.

2. I’ll be sitting somewhere in range and then suddenly a voicemail notification will appear saying someone left a voicemail just now but my phone did not ring.

3. If I stand in the middle of my house the phone displays that I get a signal but when I try to call my phone it doesn’t ring. I get an out of range message

4. All my Docomo friends have been complaining how my bad the sound quality is now and many times while I can hear them clearly they cannot hear what I’m saying.

5. I’ve been cut off so many times in the last month in places where the signal seems rather strong like in train stations, department stores etc.

It could be that the handset is bad but even so the sound quality of Docomo Foma network is just way better.

I’m interested… What do you think the difference is between DocoMo and AU? I have a friend who thinks quite the opposite. And I personally haven’t had any problems with no signal places anywhere so far.

And I recommend Spontex’ microfibre for cleaning the black surface… :)
