What's your Emotional Quotient?

Your EQ is 107

91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.


Well...sounds right...

And you?

What's your Adventure Quotient?

To you, adventure without innovation is like going back to the dark ages. Humans have progressed and so has technology. Our calculations reveal that you are the Well-Equiptped Achiever.

You have a true enthisiast's appreciation for top-quality technology and equiptment. For you, it is not simply about getting the gear. It's the curiosity of how you use it to heighten your next experience. Your adventures demand the time to learn the intricacies of any new product or idea. Your wealth of knowledge is no secret. Others seek your expertise before deciding what to buy.
Seems quite right, considering it's from Land Rover a bunch of Ph.Ds.

So, what is your AQ?

Smart Phones Stink, PDA Phones Rule...

...says Tom's Hardware Guide

I can't agree more. Especially since a started using a Handspring Treo180. Now that I've switched to a pa1mOne Treo650, I'm ever more pleased with it. Yes it's as big as a brick but then there's much much more functions than your average phone. Not to mention a bigger screen as well. Yes, the camera's (quite) crap and it crashes, on average, 10 times a week, but I love it. Those are just some stuff that's worth sacrificing for such a brilliant phone. The keyboard is addictive, by the way. I sent much more text messages in a week that what I used to in a year after I switched to Treo180. Ooh...looks nice to put up a short user review here as well. 650's keyboard is, I must admit, not as nice as 180's keyboard. It feels more soft, while 180's feels sturdy and tough. Nice improvement to the screen (160x160 4-bit Grayscale to 320x320 16-bit Colour)



Treo700p has finally arrived, though initially only available on Verizon/Sprint in the States, GSM versions will soon come. Not very attractive to existing 650 users, especially when there's a rumor that there will be a firmware upgrade that turns the 650 into a 700p, more or less (function-wise). So, 650 prices will drop, making it even more attractive. I am quite interested in the new "Ultralight? Wireless Headset" though.



Hope it works better than the old "Treo? Wireless Headset". I have one, and it's quite crap. My old SonyEricsson HBH-35 is better. Unfortnately my mom took over that headset. Well, nothing I could do, really.
