to me...it certainly looks tat way....
they are not one of the biggest player...plus the division provides them no synergy with other product also...

So seems like no more bang for bucks lappies from benq....

you don't have to mod the driver..just get it from AMD's site and install...there's official support for mobility chips now..

hey guys..is it possible for ram to cause power instability? I'm having this USB related issue (USB ports failing after using the computer randomly)..And if i use DC+batt or batt alone, the usb ports will be normal..tested that for 3 days already..

Technet has 10... nod.gif

only time when i had problem is when i mixed up the key... used the same one on 2 computers... solved after putting in a new one on one of them...

highwind:
by right no... if there's really such issue, u probably can't even boot up in the first place... looks more like some power issues with the USB port to me (insufficient power or sth)...

dackson:
DX11 has got both DX10.1 and DX10.0 included...
*
It's really very funny...they usb port will eventually fail if i use DC only without any USB devices attached (tried plugging in a pendrive but couldn't recognize it)
If I DC + Batt or Batt only, the usb ports are normal...motherboard power problem?
i got another funny issue..My speakers are not working..It shows that headphone are plugged on eventhough they are not...

Seems like so many problem with S57..previous got problem with the charging, now got problem with USB ports...and also the audio port...sweat.gif..all related to MOBO sweat.gif

@miahaha: yeah...and it happens when i'm so far away from malaysia...damn...need to find the nearest service centre from my place...
@astria: i think it's driver related too...but i already tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver from realtek website..my wifi button isn't working either...that is definitely driver related. but i couldn't fix it..

yup, i hate to admit, but imho Apple did do their homework on the design...

the more conventional "brick" look is pleasing for both the eyes and the hands...

but but but, i still love my Hero... laugh.gif

yup..the design looks nicer...and they rectify some of the missing key features in OS 4.....but i still prefer HTC desire...let's see how it fare when it is released...

Yeah...competition for smartphone market is very stiff now...with strong showing of Blackberry and Apple, promising emergence of android, Nokia is delaying the update to symbian and slashing prices for smartphones....

Haha..i guess both android and iphone are competing on different grounds...just like PC and Mac..i remember reading some article describing Apple is like christian, they believe in "one god" (iphone) where as android is like polytheistic religion (HTC desire, Nexus One, Moto Droid)...so eventually the scenario would be like what in PC world..Android would undoubtedly surpass iphone in a not too distant future..


Added on April 23, 2010, 8:32 amyeah..the waiting game is a pain in the arse...vodafone uk also said that update would be available for magic..but no specified date given...and also the lower RAM (192mb) of vodafone magics is really a turn off..HTC sense couldn't run smoothly...Rooting is simple...juz a few minutes...i used the "one key root" method instead of "gold card"...gold card seems complicated... rclxub.gif rclxub.gif
