Some interesting stuff to see:



Yes, for those of you who could still remember; that's Day of The Tentacle running on our beloved Tubes... SCUMMV woohoo!

Enjoying the utter uselessness of the lightsabre app...

Get it here for the Star Whars geek in you: http://rs691.rapidshare.com/files/20930199...re5th_V0_1s.sis

The force is strong in this wan!

Nope, turns your Tube into an accelerometer driven LightSabre... Heck yeah baby!

Make sure you turn off your sensors (Menu --> Settings --> Sensor Settings --> SENSORS - OFF - ) as it doesn't play well with the screen auto-rotation... Other then that, pew pew!

Really cool to use to fight with your friends (others with Tubes, N95s or anything else Nokia with an accelerometer that's not the N96)... Swinging around will result in the voooooong voooooooong sound while forcefully shaking it (with hit detection set on auto) will result in a lightsabre clashing sound...

Buuuuuuuuuuut, other than that, it's completely useless...

No idea, I use phone memory and backup from time to time to a TXT file using ListSMS + Virtual Key...

Need V20 firmware for it to work...

ALL THAT, and the battery lasts around a day...

I'd want the batt to last for 4 days with heavy use and the OMAP 3 in it to make it crazy fast, but I can't have everything now can I?

Trial and error, as they will either:

1) Work
2) Not work
3) Work with Virtual Key

You called?

I'm a Marble Maze guy... When I'm not going lightsabre on people, that is...

But seriously, full accelerometer gameplay? Marble Maze all the way man...

IINM, backup and soft settings reset (the reset settings ONLY one, NOT *#7737*, forgot the code)...

6] They have not discovered its true purpose, as the only weapon fit for the Jedi...

*swings his TubeSabre around*

Impatient, they all are...

Don't worry, I've gone nuts trying to find the same thing almost 3 months ago...

Really Nokia Malaysia... Cut a deal with LEAR to bundle the LE01 together asso ok what? It's 80 bucks, come on...

Seriously, Crossroads gotta think of some GREAT sounding, yet affordable A2DP earbuds...

Why CR? I can't really think of anybody else who can pull that kinda crazy stuff off...

If you're the analytical type (read: everything must sound clear), then the X3i cannot be beat, although the Bijou's are worth it if you want more bass...

And with proper burn-in it should be more then JUST bass...

A comparison of the Bijou numbers: http://jaben.net/forums/index.php?topic=5630.0;topicseen

BUT, the Bijou + 5800 combo sounds like crap to my newbie ears unEQed (gotta agree with you here Aspire, the 5800 unEQed + Crossroads combo just doesn't work), you need to play with the EQ for it to reach its full potential...

And as for wireless headphones:


The Sleek Audio Kleer SA6


The (supposedly much cheaper) Digi-Fi Opera

Both of these blow A2DP kleer (forgive the pun) out of the water...

Ur call man, although the guy here IINM only sells the Bijou (haven't asked)... Read up the comparison linky I gave you, should provide you with a better idea of how things are...

Bassy Bass = Bijou (3-4)
Not so much Bass = (Bijou 1-2)

+ Better Build Quality

IINM

Clear sound, plastic build quality = X3i...

Ur call...

And nope, Marble Maze isn't only for india sims, if you can ask Uncle Google REAL nicely lar...

Playing with it rite now...

It's subjective really, on the same HPM-70s I prefer the output from my Tube in comparison to my W810i and even my bro's W980i...

Seriously, if you already have a rough idea how SE phones sound, go test the Tube lar at Nokia center (or your friendly neighbourhood Phone Seller - WITH your own earbuds lar)... IINM some songs already come with the phone to test...

But still, for the general populace, if you tweak the EQ enough, the SQ is more then fine...

And J-, the SE Idou runs on Symbian - the next Gen Symbian Foundation OS (should replace our S60v5)... Funny, but true...

Check the netty tubes, it runs on the Symbian Foundation's next gen platform - an extension to our S60v5...

Which really is funny if you ask me... Everyone seems to want a piece of the Symbian pie nowadays... Next, we might even see a HTC (or, God forbid, a Motorola) running on Symbian - the harbinger of the end times...

Theres also the best financial manager on s60, FlyingMoney. Google and enjoy...

I use both, need both... UNLESS JBAK TUNES HIS TASKMAN FOR S60V5 (hoping he'd google and see this)...

And I set my taskman to kill all as well... Alah, I got Phone Guardian + Tektonic Lock + Push Exchange Mail + Taskman (always killed when I don't need it, it can restart by itself asso) running constantly (plus music player when I'm in the mood for constant music) and still get 1-1.5 days of use...

Good enough for me...

OMG, a lemon...

Yes, do go and fire the heck out of the Nokia people and get a replacement... Lemons exist for all electronics (lemon = kaw kaw kenot help gila set), even for my M1210 a while back (so many lemons I tell you, lucky I got a good - not perfect, mind you - one)... And if you get one, YOU DESERVE a replacement...

But yeah, the Tube = low cost, high manufacturing volume HP... High volume = more chances of lemons, unfortunately... It's just statistics at work...

About the light leakage/gaps (a bit off topic, I know), THERE ARE some reports over at the Nokia discussion forums about the gaps being intentional, IE Nokia designed it that way to allow for better ventilation for the internal parts... Chips and antennae generate heat due to heavy use, correct? And the tube has 3G, EDGE/GSM, GPS, WIFI transmitters built in = gila heat generation...

After seeing my pal's tight no gap E71 becoming REALLY hot (the entire body) and dying repeatedly within a few hours while serving as a 3G-WIFI hotspot router (using Joikuspot) - and my Tube serving for days on end doing the same thing (while only the battery especially becoming a bit warm in the process), I tend to agree with this, however unproven it may be.

SO, do you REALLY want your Tube to be screwed tight?

Somebody asked for screenies? Mine normal2 only...



On a later note, when's the gathering anyhow?

Yep, had to personally mod the font first so that it will show most of the symbols we use... Hard work man...

But every day I look at the curvy, funky font + it's equally nice Japanese Kanji (it's actually a Japanese Font to begin with) - well worth the pain...
