Welcome to my Blog!

This post would be more suitable for developers and designers, but its beneficial to see why Android is a better platform for running mobile devices.These videos are made from the developers of the Android Operating system, to show you the architecture of Google’s Android Operating system.

The underlying architecture

How the processes work

And the API

This HTC Dream is loaded with the Android OS, and we can expect more of this Operating system to be installed on new phones in the future. Surprising it is based on Linux 2.6 Kernel, and since this is open source, expect more free software to be built on this platform.

In this second viagra without a prescription review, I’ll talk more on how great this Google G1 phone can do, with the internet enabled applications.

The most common application used is the Gmail mail client. When your 3G connection is enabled, just sign in with your gmail account. After which, your mailbox will be sync. Other Google services like calender, analytics, talk, feedburner, and etc etc will be sync with yor account. A tip where I use to check all my mails, is to configure all mails to be forwarded to my Gmail account. So when there’s a new mail, I will be notified.

Next comes the browser, where I find it lightweight and fast. With this phone’s fast processing power,
Could open a few windows and browse them in a multiple task environment. To open a link in a new Window, just hold onto the link for a second, and a menu pops up asking you to “Open in new Window” or “shae this link”
2 of my commonly used functions.

There’s also this zoom function, where your text will be enlarge. And when your text enlarges, the browser automatically reformats the text so that the passage doesn’t pops out of the screen, and yo ucan view it top down

The youtube app rocks, because again its fast. On the way walking to train, I’ll click a video and let it load, and once I am on it I can view it.

The Android market lists the games and applications that we can download and use. Again if you do not have a data plan, this application will not function.

And overall I give it 9/10 ! Well if you use this phone as a traditional mobile phone, you ain’t gonna get the best out of it. I receive more emails than SMSes, so put this phone into good use!

After using the Android Phone for a week, I would like to let everyone else who want to get this phone some of my own opinions. I guess that you eagerly want this phone, either because it is a new HTC phone, or because it is running on the one Google Android Operating system on the market now?

Firstly I would like to say that I am most probably stuck with this phone for at least the next year or 2, because I don’t change my phone often. Secondly, the main reason why I changed this phone was because my mobile phone contract has ended, which means I am eligible to change a new phone at a good price. Thirdly I needed a device that could connect to the internet and do my stuff while I commute on the train. A laptop would be too bulky, and therefore, the HTC Dream G1 Android phone was the solution.

Now onto the review.

I’ll break this into two parts. The phone functionality and the internet capabilities. This HTC Dream phone does require you to have constant 3G connection to the internet, or known as the data plan. Without this, the phone is pretty much useless.

Phone functionality

When you search for contacts, the big scroll button will shows up and the letters A-Z appears in the center, making it easier to navigate down and find. If you add contacts, there is a function where you probably can save your contacts address on Google maps. The feature is clean and neat.

The SMS isn’t that bad, but I suggest you to get the ChompSMS application. The reason is you can SMS single handedly, without using your keyboard. The SMS are conversation style, like the Gmail or IM. No more annoying “1 New Message” but rather a new “reply” to your conversation. The bad thing here is, I am unable to select multiple sms and delete them.

Maybe there’s a way, do answer and reply to my comments if you know of any. Overall, the SMS and call function are pretty good, and satisfy the least requirement of a phone.

Other Phone functionality

The alarm clock allows you to add multiple clock reminders, and select which day you want it, by ticking it. This is good for me (who always overslept :p)

The main “desktop” or home screen are divided into 3 screens, as shown in my video. This is great because I can put a logical group of applications s to each of these screen. (Entertainment, phone, internet apps) The apps, shortcuts and widgets can be pulled around the interface, leaving you with a customizable desktop.

The keyboard is not too bad, even with my huge fingers, I can type easily without making too much of an error. The main phone interface is very clean and simple, with 6 buttons. The call, home, mouse ball, back, cancel call / lock, and the menu button. There’s this cool unlocking function where you can draw a pattern to unlock the phone. Unfortunately, I have stop using and instead use the normal unlocking method.

There’s this notification bar at the of the phone, so all of your SMSes, new mails, downloads, and other stuff will show as a notification. When you have that, you phone’s LED will show a green blinking light. That is how I tell if there’s a new “message”.

Security with pattern for unlocking function

Settings…

Inside the settings menu, you can toggle wifi, bluetooth, and airplane mode with the wireless controls. There’s also determine location options, where you choose GPS or mobile network signal to find out your location.

There’s also this “About phone”, where useful information about your phone is shown. The battery level is shown in %, and it falls constantly (vs other phones where you have full bar for 2 days and drops to 1 bar within half day) At a galnce you can see your Android and firmware version etc…

For this viagra without prescription week, I needed to recharge my phone every day, so that is something you have to take note. It might be due to the usage of this phone every minute during commute, checking mails and information, writing this blog (Oh yeah), exploring the phone’s functionality, and getting lots and lots of new applications and games for my everyday life.

And so, this will end part 1 of my review. Look out for part 2 in the Categories column !

This is my second review on the Google’s Android G1 HTC Dream Phone.

In this second video review, I have some of the stuff on the internet applications on the HTC Dream phone. There are many cool features with browsing, for those of you who had a hard time navigating around web pages. All this with the HTC Dream powered by Google’s Android Operating System

And the video:

This is my first review on my Google Android G1 HTC Dream Phone, recorded with a “not so clear” camera (Bear with me!)

With this video, it shows you the actions of this cool HTC Dream Phone. I just wanna show you some cool stuff after I used this phone for 2 days. Some of these cool features includes:

- LCD Screen sliding
- QWERTY Keyboard
- Unlock phone drawing pattern
- Main interface in three parts
- Drag Icons around
- Dragging menu
- Dragging notification bar

Look at it right here:

Due to my mistake, or my busy schedule, I missed the due date for my credit card charges payment. I didn’t really paid late, but I paid the bill via one of the bill payment machines after about 6+ pm. To the bank, this is consider “late” because its after their office hour.

So I called UOB Bank, and incredibly, they had an automated call system such that if you are doing a waiver on credit charges, just enter your Identification card no. and your credit card number. After two weeks, an sms was sent to inform me that my charges were waived. Phew…

Here’s this month’s breakdown:

Savings and Earnings

$500/month Citibank Step up Account (I really wondered should I continue with this?)
$300/month POSB MySavings
$8.XX (interest) Passive earnings
+200 from viagra order our government

Expenses

$1550 UOB bill (Last December)
$800 Red Sofa (Last December)

I was very very curious about Google’s latest stuff, not their usual web application this time, but a phone, a mobile phone. As you guessed it, what could an online software maker like Google pack into one phone - the HTC Dream with Google’s latest Operating system called “Android”.

Without much thoughts, I took a look at my local phone company Singtel (the only telco offering HTC Dream in Singapore) about the plans offered that are tied with the sale of this phone. After asking, I realized I am eligibility for the phone upgrade, which will cost me around USD$330 or SGD$488.

The purchase:

As or the plans I took at mobile data line that cost only SGD$13.90 that gives me an always on access to wireless internet anywhere, via 3G. And so, within 3 days I was queuing up for this phone. It never really bother me if this phone was suitable or not, as it had been quite some time since I wanted to change my E61, to something smaller, and something more usable.

And thus the switch.

Keyboard and screen opened up

The unlocking screen

And you draw a “pattern” to unlock the screen

Since it is a new OS, plus it is open source, I was expecting be many great applications out there, just like the Iphone. And I have to say goodbye to Symbian S60, which I didn’t really touch the phones apps after 2 months of purchase.

With a search on the internet, I found the phone with another name, mainly due to the US telco offering it, tying its name together as T-Mobile G1.

A live demo of the HTC Dream phone

This is my current heavy and bulky E61 phone.

My hand is big but not big enough…

Lastly, I will give my own personal review, and its pros and cons about this phone.

Will be blogging free viagra its full potential, update my usage, how I use this phone in many wonderful ways, and how it can help me improve my productivity (especially the ability to blog while traveling !!!), with the first Android™ powered mobile phone in Asia.

Hopefully I can show you the videos and demo some cools tuff here!
