MY NEW 9700!

WELL WELL WELL, it was just a matter of time that i was going to upgrade to 9700.

reason being is that the processor is faster, and i have ALOT of chats open at a time, and alot of contacts, and alot of softwares and apps running at the same time, my bold 9000 wasnt keeping up with me =( another reason why i upgrade is, obviously the camera! and the trackpad. no more effin trackball problem!!

but anyways, here goes!!

BEFORE (BRAND NEW)

AFTER!!

this set is composed of 2 sets of bezel, 1 white, 1 red, took the red top cover and bottom cover and put it on the white one, then install. back cover is just a plain white, but thinking of changing it to white/red carbon look soon.

but if u want, this set will cost you around 200rm.

anyways, i posted this up so it gives u guys an idea of what u can do with ur bb!! just use ur imagination!!

PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE

well, i feel that i should say something about the quality of changing ur housing and stuff.

alot of you dont know that aftermarket housings actually much like anything aftermarkets, there are GRADES. and im proud to say that stuff on this blog's quality are one of the TOP if not the top on the market. and i do provide good aftercare, if anything wrong, u can always msg me and i will try my best to make u love ur blackberry more. =)

anyway, since this blog has opened, many has follow suit, and even in shopping centers. and yes i have surveyed most of them. and SERIOUSLY, you people should not be buying whats out there. because its EXPENSIVE, some of the quality is just terrible, then u come and tell me they sell it to u for cheaper. well no shit, thats because if i sell those, i could sell it cheaper too!

their back cover is lighter, feels cheaper and plastic-y, top cover letters "blackberry" is crooked, not fitting properly, color easy to come off, keypad feels loose and looks cheap. stuff like that.

BUT MY ADVANTAGE IS, that u are allowed to fully customize ur blackberry!! u can mix and match ur bezel, top cover, bottom cover, back cover. whatever. u get the point. and i get the latest stuff, and the rarest stuff. the quality is honestly tip top, but then alot of u already know that cuz i work alot on referrals, and u've probably seen my handy work before from ur friends. anyways, im thankful for my future customers, and grateful for my past customers. keep them coming!!

ANYWAY, KEEP UR EYES OPEN when u go around and survey the prices and quality. because there are alot out there now. =) but, perhaps instead of walking around, and parking and hoping to find the perfect set up, u could just SPECIAL ORDER THRU HERE! =)

anything just bbm me!

How to upgrade BlackBerry OS

First you will need to download the BlackBerry OS software file to your computer. You can search from Google with keyword “Blackberry OS [Carrier name]”. Or you may refer to my post "Official BlackBerry OS Website".

Be sure you selected the right blackberry model then download the latest OS file to desktop. There are unofficial versions (some call it leak version) of blackberry OS floating around the internet, do it at your own risk if you decided to use those unofficial OS.

Install Blackberry OS software into default location (Basically just click next until end during installation) If you’re using software version from a different service provider other than your own, after the installation wizard is done you will need go to delete the Vendor.xml file. It can be found following this path:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader


After the deletion of the Vendor.xml file (if needed), plug in your device to the computer via USB cable and then double click on the Loader.exe file in the same folder

Click next for the first screen, the Wizard should automatically detect the port and should display USB and your PIN number. Like screenshot below


Next the Application Loader Wizard will read your devices system configuration. System will allow you to choose any applications that you would like to install into Blackberry handheld. Here you need to make sure applications such as BlackBerry Attachment Service, BlackBerry Messenger, and 3rd Party Application boxes are ticked, and any other applications you want installed to the device and select ‘Next’.


Completing the Application Loader Wizard screen will come up next and and show you exactly what Applications are being installed. Make sure everything you want installed is selected and select ‘Finish’.

It is depending on Blackberry device and can take up between 20-45 minutes for OS installation. PLEASE DO NOT UNPLUG CABLE FROM THE DEVICE. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR DEVICE BRICKED AND MAKE YOUR DEVICE IN DEEP TROUBLE. Be patient and wait until the Application Loader Wizard is states Loading Operation is Complete.

At this point, you can unplug your device and your device is restarting. Usually it will take long time for the first restart (approximately 12min). Enjoy the new Operating System.

St. Valentine's Day gadget gift guide

Saint Valentines Day is here. This has always been a time for some of the most romantic moments of the winter at least, if, of course, you have someone to share it with. I hope you do and if so, you will be thinking of some kind of present, something bigger then flowers and congratulation cards. So, our job here was to compile a list of what gadget world has to offer on the occasion of Saint Valentine's Day. Most of it is completely unisex and will suit a pretty large range of ages and interests.

8GB USB flash drive necklace $69.99

For starters, some St. Valentine's Day trivia. A USB 2.0 flash drive in a good looking heart-shaped body. So it is a bit of both: gadget and jewelry and the only female accessory on the whole list of presents. The looks of it are down to brushed metal pendant, shiny crystals and a universal neck chain. The techy filling is an 8GB USB 2.0 flash drive. And it costs $69.99. Significantly more than a double capacity memory stick, but the effect of useful jewelry realy does the trick.


Apple Magic Mouse $69.00

If you are ¢99 short on the necklace above, you can choose a much more exquisite Apple Magic Mouse. For $69.00, which is a price of a hardcore gaming mouse, Magic Mouse delivers one of the most elegant shapes computer peripheral can get and wireless signal transmission from laser sensor. The last bit is, by the way, prerogative of gaming hardware, but that is one of the last things its owner will do whoever he or she is. Its for Macs. That said however there is a way to make it work under Windows family operating systems. Be advised though to prepare a bit of explanation on that. In rest a Mac owner should be glad to get any Apple peripheral.


Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 $89.72

Another Valentine proof gift for all. A webcam is a perfect and one of the only tools for online video conversations. The thing about webcams is that one hardly gets any satisfaction from the fact that he or she is visible to the others, so not many bother themselves to buy and use one. It is than your chance to find a reasonably priced gift that will in fact be a good and long lasting one. $89.72 can buy you this Logitech Webcam Pro 9000 with Carl Zeiss lenses, auto-focus, brightness adjustment, face recognition, etc. It will take 8 megapixel photos and record 2 megapixel 16 : 9 video. Not bad for ninety bucks.


Sony DPF-D82 7.57 $99.99

Digital photo frame is another variant for your Valentine. You can think of it a small screen and memory module bound together and operated by minimum of software just to get pictures from memory appear on the screen. This particular digital photo frame from Sony has 1GB of onboard memory. They claim it will store two thousand images. Only in low-res I assume. Anyway, it's expandable with MS, SD and other cards. Sony DPF-D82 has an 8 inch wide 15 : 9 LCD, black body, remote control. Overall it's a good call for a gift and surely worths $117.57 it is asked for.


LaCie Grand 1 TB USB 2.0 external HDD $99.99

Earlier on we looked at some desktop peripherals. This one though I thing is the most biased to practicality rather than fancy design. An external hard drive comes in handy everywhere from PC to DVD player. If you follow industry news you might be aware that USB 2.0 technology is pushed out of the market slowly but steadily by the USB 3.0. So, is it ok to buy a 1TB USB 2.0 external HDD? Well, yes. It will take quite a time until similar SuperSpeed enabled unit will cost roughly the same and don't forget about compatibility. Any hardware it is used with must support same specification. LaCie Grand 1 TB is priced just under one hundred dollars and it is good looking as well.


Apple iPod nano 16 GB $163.99

Apple iPods are the most satisfying players in the world and nano is the entrance model to the Apple's player range. If you ask me, it is the prettiest also. The 16GB model costs just $30 more than the 8GB model so you shouldn't bother saving money on capacity here. For $163.99 5th gen iPod offers a full day of music playback, 5 hours of video. But the 2.2" 240 x 376 TFT display is too small for watching full-time movies in my view. Anyway, unlike Magic Mouse we looked at earlier, iPod nano can be freely used with any machine that has iTunes 9 installed.


Cowon S9 32 GB $259.99

iPod nano is not particularly a savior when it come to watching video. For these purposes you'd rather choose something with bigger, better display. Cowon S9 might just be the answer. S9 is not the latest model on the market but an amazing AMOLED 480 x 272 3.3 incher coupled with 32GB storage space come in almost cheap for $259.99. Cowon S9 supports lossless audio formats, popular video formats and will keep showing movies and clips for 11 hours. As a present it will immediately charm with its design, so if your funds can handle it, S9 should be one of the PMPs to choose from.


Kindle 6" e-book reader $259.00

If your Valentine is not the biggest fan of music and videos on the go, than he or she might like a modern interpretation of a good old book. I am speaking, of course, about the Amazon Kindle. Widely established as a best e-book reader, Kindle now faces a big opposition from recent readers and tablets. However, its discreet appearance, reasonable price and updated firmware (don't underrate this fact) made Kindle '09's bestseller. However, choose wisely between 6" model and 9.7" DX. Even if you can afford yourself to buy $489.00 DX that is less portable than the standard Kindle, you give away Apple iPad money for a device that is no better than an iPad.


Klipsch HD 300 Compact 5.1 theater $399.00

Sound system is not the most popular St. Valentine gift idea, which makes it a bit of an alternative to those that are. In the case of Klipsch HD 300 Compact 5.1 theater for just $399.00 you get full flesh 5.1 system, shiny glossy looks, powerful and qualitative sound output. The thing that makes it even better as present, look, you can read it in the name, "Compact" means you can deliver it yourself to your Valentine and set it up right away.


Google Nexus One unlocked $725.00

Google's market policy can be discussed for a long time. Google Nexus One, the latest child of today's Google market policy, and its specs can be discussed for a long time. However, if you choose it as a present for your Valentine what you choose is not a double microphone noise suppression system, or 1GHz Snapdragon 3G QSD8250 chipset. What you choose is unparalled user experience. Because Nexus One has AMOLED touchscreen it has almost double pixel density and much quicker response time than its rivals. Everything else is just a compliment to that really. Surely, you can have Nexus One much cheaper, but that will tie you up to a plan - not romantic at all. Unlocked Google Nexus One is $725.00.

More news on Apple tablet

More and more news pop up as we approach to January 27th - the day of big Apple event that will bring in the world some official information on Apple tablet, widely known as iSlate, announcement of iPhone 4G and iPhone OS 4.0, plus new Mac OS X version. That said, we will now try to bind in some of the freshest leaks on basically all four products.

A trustful source close to Apple insiders stated recently that the tablet (model number K48AP) is going to be powered by an ARM architecture based processor, will be the first to feature Apple's latest touchscreen navigation technology and will be a hyperbolized iPhone overall.

That brings up the question whether the tablet is derived from iPhone 3GS or plausibly shares the same platform with iPhone 4G. As we know, iPhone 4G will be nothing like the current version considering hardware and software. UI, I am sure, will stay pretty close to what we have now and that's a good thing since iPhone is so popular for being extremely user friendly. Given that, I think Apple shall develop an iPhone OS 4.0-like operating system for the tablet rather than Mac OS X-like. However, some say that OS X update has been hold off because of some tablet-related bits here and there. Well, two weeks of waiting is what left.

The easiest way to delete all BlackBerry address book contacts

I believe most people will suggest using wipe handheld feature under Phone Option, Security Options, General Settings. By doing this, all address book contact are deleted, but you will also delete everything in your BlackBerry (all setting had been reset back to default setting too).

What about if I need to delete address book contact only without losing any other information from my Blackberry? Instead of delete your address book contact one by one, actually you can do it with BlackBerry Desktop Manager.

Connect you BlackBerry to PC with USB cable
Run BlackBerry Desktop Manager
Go to Backup and Restore, select Advance, following screen will appear

Highlight “Address book” & “Address book - ALL”, then click the clear button.
