Acura Integra

 
Accidentally met this 91/92 model integra. It is eaxctly the same model, color and trim as my first car - the first car I have ever bought. I drove it almost 2 years, went around mid west and later Texas. Put a lot of mileage on it and have great memory. 1.8 liter Vtec engine. Powerful, smoothy, and spacy. Steering is agile and great for some actions. Nothing I can complain except the doggy smell left from previous owner.

I still miss it.

T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, aka HTC Rhodium

new phone new phone...

I finally got a new phone after losing MDA and then took CHT9000 as the temporary replacement
Wooops, I should not say CHT9000 is a replacement, even that was the initial intention.
CHT9000 runs so well that pretty much does whatever I asked it to do.. So, I lost the intention and kept using it until recent.

I was playing around internet and noticed that on auction site (everyone knows what it is), there are quite some good deals for newer phone. After checking around, I still stay with HTC (not only because it is a Taiwan company), and really not many slide form Android phones on the market yet (G1? yak... that is not sleek looking at all). iphone? sorry, I am not in the mist that paying call girl premium just because she is blonde (sound irrelevant). Anyway, I managed to get one (slightly used) with less than 200 bucks. That is even less than what it is asking with two years contract!

 

So, I was relatively surprised by the progess it had since wm6. it has been a huge leap from CHT9000, not even comparable to MDA. Want to mention I started using the smartphone from the first generation - the "VisorPhone", a springboard module for Headspring Visor??? sadly I lost it on the flight, otherwise it will be such a nice antique decoration ..

If you manage it well, it can run on CDMA (sprint and Verizon) or GSM(T-mobile and AT&T). Did I mention that CHT9000 worked perfectly on Japan, even better than in US territory because it switched to HSDPA by itself? It does hotspot. It has GPS with geo-tag camera. Whatever, it has too much features that I even don't want to use. And don't tell me you want to use it for games or social network... screw, it is for productivity.

Anyway, I am pleased with what it is offering, can do my job easier and faster, with some other entertainment. My wife is also impressed (she was a palm user, stuck with PDA concept and did not buy in this all-in-one pholosophy) so we ended up getting second unit. Brand new with even cheaper price!!!!! what else we can ask for??
