FREE ORI USB DATA CABLE

I personally like this phone. it's my current top 3 list (besides iPhone and Nokia N95). One negative for me is that this current auction details doesn't seem to have warranty. Still RM 999 is quite a steal considering the official list price is double that price. Also what's the deal with not giving the user manual, CD and box if it's not a quick grab ?

Auction closes on 3/29/2008 9:15:00 PM.

My only issue with this is when it is off the main AC power, how long does the battery last?

Nokia 6230i @ RM 280

2008-02-10T03:04:00.001-08:00

I know this is an old phone but I'm looking to have EDGE connection for my notebook. Of course there is faster 3G with Maxis or Celcom but from my experience from using my friend's internet DiGi Edge is better. All because it is very stable almost everywhere I've used it. It may not be as fast as 3G (when they work!) but I prefer constant and stable connection instead of blazing speed.

The Nokia 6230i is old fashioned by today's standard but it's a tough and capable phone.

Looking at the current offer priced at RM 280. Hmmmm.. I'll but if it is closer to RM 200.

iPhones Galore!

2008-02-10T02:51:00.000-08:00

One such offer is from PDAGears who sell at Lelong.com.my

One of their offers is the 8GB iPhone unlocked at RM2069. Details here.

For me personally I think that's a little too expensive considering that Apple just introduced the 16 GB iPhone. I hope to see a price fall in Lelong as well as the many shops that sell iPhone in Sungei Wang Plaza.

RM 2000 perhaps for the 16Gb iPhone ?

According to Wikipedia:

Face detection is a computer technology that determines the locations and sizes of human faces in arbitrary (digital) images. It detects facial features and ignores anything else, such as buildings, trees and bodies.

I guess that's supposed to make pictures of faces sharper and clearer. Afterall most of the pictures we take of is of people :)

Did a search on Amazon user's experience and Steve digicam reviews. They all gave fantastic reviews.

However personally I would have preferred if this model came with anti shake technology. That would have made this model perfect.

Sony Playstation 3

2006-11-22T17:15:00.000-08:00

The hot Playstation 3 just hit lelong days after it was released in the US.

The start price is RM 888 and the Quick Grab price is RM 3,988.00.
Closing date is 1st Dec 2006 and no doubt the price will go up by then. In US many people who queued up and camped outside shops got the unit and immediately sold it off eBay. Very few chose to keep it. Nothing wrong with the unit but shortages drove demand (and also $$$) for the Sony PS3.

Well, this is the Japan version that's being sold on lelong.

Specs:

60GB Playstation 3

CPU - Cell Broadband Engine

GPU - RSX

Memory - 256MB XDR Main Ram, 256MB GDDR3 VRAM

Hard drive - 2.5" Serial ATA (60GB)

Communication - Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.0, Built-in IEEE 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi

Looking forward to see a wireless Skype phone in the Malaysia market.

Model: Panasonic LUMIX 5MP 6X Optical Digital Camera DMC-LZ2 ImageStabilizer

I've taken many digital camera pictures before. One thing I noticed is that without the flash a shaky hand turns out blurry pictures.

This is the first one I've seen so far. I like it but I'd like it even more if the
price was below RM500 :)

Overpriced TMNet Hotspot Card

2006-07-09T20:26:00.000-07:00

TMNet raised prices for the prepaid card a few months back but the price has gone back to normal at RM19 per month and RM35 for 3 months.

However I think this lelonger is outdated and trying to sell at higher price (RM20 for a month) than TMNet itself. In fact it's suspicious that someone else can sell TMNet prepaid accounts via Lelong.

Is it possible to sell an account more than once? That's probably one way of making a quick buck :)

This guy is selling it for RM12 inclusive postage. (I assume it'll be sent via normal post which is 20cents??)

Psion 5MX

2006-05-18T02:30:00.000-07:00

Anybody remember this PDA?

I loved it many years ago because of it's keyboard and great software. Even by today's standard the keyboard cannot be beat.

It's on eBay. Direct Link

Current price is RM500 which I think is too much. Probably 2 years ago it can fetch that price.

Ipaq 4150

2006-04-26T00:52:00.000-07:00

The Ipaq 4150 is already around 2 years old but it's still one of my favourite PDAs. It is in the nice 1900 form factor which is really small and fits into my hand confortably like a glove. The OS is still ok (Pocket PC 2003 SE) and getting the latest OS WM5 isn't necessarily a big improvement.

It's strength to me is:

built in WIFI features (can capture even the weakest WIFI signals unlike the Axim X50/x51 series)

above average processor (enough to view videos smoothly)

sexy size

Current price: RM411 as at 26/04/2006 4:01PM. Direct Lelong link here

The only disadvantage that I see is that it has to couriered by post if you are not in Sarawak.

For those staying in and around KL, then there is one at RM450 but I personally don't like the bent charging cable. The seller assures that it can still charge, but for how long...??
This 4150 is at the moment RM450 (as at 26/04/2006 3:46PM) Lelong Link

3. One unit of car charger
4. One unit of ear phone
5. One unit of battery charger
6. One unit of screen protector
7. One unit of manual book

My thoughts:
Great PDA. I posted about this before. It has the best looking VGA screen compared to all other PDAs. Built in WiFi, BlueTooth.
Only disadvantage maybe the battery life. An extra battery or two is essential. OS use Windows 2003 and not the latest WM5.

No extra goodies with it. Just the basic slip case and sync cable.

Still it's a good price for this classic PDA. It came out in 2003 and by today's standard is still pretty classy. I like the super slim factor and the way it fita in my had. Yes, I have held it before at a PDA shop.

WiFi connection at some hotspots using this IPaq of this series is pretty straight forward and easier compared to the Dell Axim series according to many reviews I've read.

I see no minusses except perhaps for the OS which is PPC 2003 and not the new Windows Mobile 5. But that's not a big deal. PPC 2003 still has a strong software base and support.

I love the iPaq 1900 series. The small form factor is perfect in my hands (I've tried it out). Playing videos is also ok even with the relatively low CPU it has.

Only minusses perhaps is:
- no BlueTooth (but I can live with that).

I just love the Clie. Too bad they are dinosaurs now that Sony has stopped productions on Clies.

Cons:Very little memory so it's impossible to use it as an MP3 player. But I guess that can be remedied by getting bigger memory sticks but that's pretty expensive compared to SD cards or compact flash.

Apple iBook G4/1.0 12"

Malaysia Auction

Details

The Apple iBook G4/1.0 12" features a 1.0 GHz PowerPC 7447a (G4) processor with a 512k on-chip level 2 cache, 256 MB of RAM (PC2100 266 MHz DDR SDRAM), a 30.0 GB Ultra ATA hard drive (4200 RPM), a slot-loading 8X/24X/16X/24X DVD-ROM/CD-RW Combo drive, a 4X AGP ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 graphics card with 32 MB of DDR video memory, in an ultrasleek case with a 12.1" TFT XGA active-matrix display and built-in airport extreme for wireless surfing.

Usually I look at PDAs only but looking at LcF website on his new experience with iBook at http://mac-switcher.com got me interested.

Hmm... RM 2500 with WiFi is not too bad. But what about software?

Musle Power Handphone Charger

Cool eh?

Now no need to find wall socket and carry handphone charger to charge phone.

Just crank and turn to charge - using muscle power.

Found this at lelong with the current price of RM 15.

Here is the link.

The two pictures I got from Googling the charger. Maybe not the same model - but I inlcude just to get a rough idea. The actual picture in lelong was too small.

Cheap SD256?

Nokia 9500 at RM 1600

Details at Lelong here. About a day before it closes.

I think the 9500 is the perfect replacement to a notebook. It's keyboard is almost as good as the now defunct Psion keyboards that I love so much. Perhaps the only "minus" I can think of is the OS. It uses the Symbian which is a little uncommon. Still many prefer the stable OS of Pocket PC or Palm.

One thing I noticed when I visited Indonesia was there was many people using the Nokia Communicator (new and old). I many be wrong but I got the impression it's their favourite phone there.

Wireless and mobile

RM999 that's the starting price.

It's a Tungsten T5 with wireless keyboard and WIFI SD card. It's a geek's dream to be wirelessly connected. Notebook owners - eat your hearts out.

Sony Clie PEG-TJ37

Current price is RM450.

Mouth watering with WIFI and got 256Mb bundled in some more. Isn't it just beautiful ?

It's so far the cheapest Clie with WIFI in lelong that I have seen.

Damn!!

It's closing in 18 hours. Some lucky shmuck is gonna get it. Or I hope not :)

Anyway, it's 'immortalised' here on this page so I can 'touch' it whenever I want.

He he.. that's the purpose of this pathetic blog by this pathetic blogger :)

Link to the TJ37 on Lelong (only temporary - will be gone once it expires there..)

Treo 670 Runs Windows

Palm has finally gone to the dark side.

They have embraced Windows OS for their PDA smartphones. Is it the end for Palm OS platform? Lots of talk of Palm's blunder but an equal number of people support the idea and even say it's good for Palm.

Seen in one of the heated comments from Palm Info Centre:

"And, even if [PalmSource] did somehow manage to sustain themselves from cell phone sales in China in the event that PalmOne switched, what's the point? The Palm OS itself would be dead as a platform. There wouldn't be any significant players left making Palm OS handhelds. I don't think PalmOne is going to switch entirely, but if they did, it *would* be lights out for Palm OS."

First off, PalmOne isn't "switching" to Windows Mobile, they're adding it as an option. Just like Garmin and Samsung sell both Palm OS and Windows Mobile handhelds. You're thrown by the idea that "Palm" would be using Windows Mobile, but that misses the point. PalmOne is just another licensee, now, no more important, really, than any other. That they offer handhelds in both flavors is no more significant than Samsung and Garmin doing the same.

Apple natively running Windows OS, Palm also doing the same. Exciting times ahead ...
