Hi Kirk,

Thanks for this interesting post. I am also waiting for my first x86-smartphone. I don't want to buy any of the iphone / google phone around because I know that the x86-smartphone (with mobile WIMAX and WIFI) will be THE thing...

By the way, your whole predictions isn't prediction, it is just reality in my opinion.

The only question is what will happen with ARM? I guess one main scenario is Intel, AMD or Nvidia! (read this http://www.eetimes.com/showArticle.jhtml;jsessionid=O5UALOGBH1IORQE1GHPCKHWATMY32JVN?articleID=221600107)might purchase ARM and use all the know-how of ARM to make an X86 architecture that will be very low power.

Thanks and cheers from Moscow,
Djafer.

PS. Add to it, integrated video projector inside your smartphone (ex: TI-based DLP Pico) and you have a piece of technology aliens might be jealous of!

Answer: No, but most of them are either really cute, or exceedingly pretty!

Answer: Android has a good, customizable, finger-friendly UI, it's based on a solid Linux kernal, and has a ton of features built-in.

Answer: Yup, Maxim! The Thai edition, anywaze!

Question: Do all Thai girls look the same?

Question: What's so frickin' great about Android? Smells like a pretender to me.

Question: Maxim? Really?

Hi Indunil,

My Touch Diamond is currently on ROM version 2.03.456.2 WWE (World Wide English), and the radio ROM is 1.09.25.23. There might be later versions of the ROM from HTC on their website, but since the "Touch Diamond 2" has been for awhile, I doubt they're updating the original Diamond ROM much. You can also load a customized ROM that the rom-chefs at XDA Developer's forum cook up (use at your own risk).

And completely unrelated - my friend's little sister in college was named Indunil also (we all called her, "Indy" for short!)

Hi Kirk, am considering buying one this weekend. Could you tell me how I'd go about checking what the ROM version is and how I could update it?

NIF is certainly a hugely important project, it will get "Proof of Principle" for laser fusion, probably in the next two years. This is a vital step for our future energy needs, and only NIF is on the threshold of doing this. Right behind this there is the international HiPER project, which will take the work forward once NIF has achieved break-even with a single shot. HiPER will build a demonstrator reactor to show how continuous grid level energy output can be achieved. See the web site and watch the movie on http://www.hiper-laser.org/

I've been lucky enough to avoid being at the airport for about a month or so, so I'm not sure if the gadget shops there have it yet. If they do, expect to pay full retail, and not much room to haggle (the "duty free" zone is often the "overpriced zone").

2008-12-19T13:58:08.063+07:00

Kirk, I'm not quite sure about the voice quality on your sim because mine seems to work well compared to DTAC or TRUE, guess it's because I'm in the CBD areas most of the time anyway.

Oh, by the way, my sim is the original sim I have used since I first signed up with AIS 8 years ago so I could tell that 3G works on old sims.

For 3G part, only 2 locations seem very silly for the whole service. However, it still works for me because I'm lucky to be visiting the places often and the change from my old plan that charges by minutes to the new one that charges by data doesn't materially cost me more.

I only use my mobile to read news, check emails and check sport scores, stuff like these don't really need blazing-speed internet.

In terms of speed, I don't have any testing applications on my mobile, just lazy to find one for my Symbian UIQ phone. But I could tell from my feeling that it's much faster than GPRS (2G) because I don't have EDGE (2.5G) on my phone so the jump is noticeable.

The obvious change from 2G to 3G can be seen from the lesser time it took to load and start showing pictures when I opened my Picasa web albums.

It's a pity I couldn't do that anywhere but the 2 places we already know.

Before I forget to mention, the transition from 2G to 3G on my P1i Symbian UIQ phone isn't as complicated as yours.
It works quite the same way as when it connects to the internet using GPRS with no setup required at all.

I could only tell that the phone makes the switch to 3G network when the speed of browsing increases.

Hi Den - so how have you found the service overall? Any problems with voice-quality (on the normal GSM network)? Did you do any speed testing on your phone using 3G?

For some reason, when using the AIS sim, the voice-quality at my condo is horrible, even though my phone shows full signal strength.

I've only played with the 3G inside Paragon, although I'm hoping they roll it out across the city soon. Until then, I'm sticking with DTAC.

My Sony Ericsson P1i also works on 900Mhz and I sign up right after checking with Cnet Asia web, despite AIS telling me my phone may not work.

I think the black/white idea is like what Thai people call "two-tone" which may catch more attention than a plain black or white.

2008-10-22T07:39:07.720+07:00

Well, there aren't too many companies left in TRUE's market space, so I guess they're showing off in lieu of continuing their buying spree. Maybe they can expand into chicken, CP group could be next! (ha ha)

Hehe cool man... I only care about the first photo in this article. You should also change the favicon of your page, get an icon like a "K" or smth. Cheers.
