Geocaching

Today I went geocaching. I used to go often, last summer, but since then I haven't gone hardly at all. Back then I went with friends who had gps's, then they all went to college, and a didn't have access to a gps. Now that I have the N810 I can start geocaching again. I upgraded to a premium account at http://www.geocaching.com so that I could use the gpx waypoint files with the gpview application on my tablet. I downloaded about 30 caches from the Internet, and headed out on my bike. I used the map from the website to get close, then used the stats from the application to find the cache. It worked pretty well, the only issue was that the compass never pointed in the right direction, but as long as you know which way is north it works great. I'm very excited about this and plan on doing it more and more.

N810 Update

So now I've had my N810 now for two days. I still absolutely love it. The browser is great, Canola is awesome, gps is really cool, I can finally geocache. The unit came without a usb cable, but the seller is sending it to me, it was an innocent mistake. I can't wait to get it so I can update to Diablo, the new version of the os. I will keep posting as I continue to use the device.

Nokia N810!

Today I recieved my nokia N810! First impressions of the device were "wow, tthis thing is really small" So far I'm loving it, the browsing and keyboard are both much better than my ipod touch. The gps seems very promising, i haven't had time to really use that yet. I feel it is definitely worth the $275 I paid for it. I will keep posting as I spend more time with the device.

Nokia N810

So I got the chance to purchase a Nokia N810 for $275, and jumped on it. It should be here by monday. I'm very excited, with a bluetooth keyboard it should be able to do everything I need it to. A netbook probably would have been a little bit better, but I'm impulsive and it was too good a deal to pass up so. I'll be doing an unboxing/first impressions video for sure, and hopefully more once i start doing things with the device.

Next Gadget

So i'm getting close to being able to afford a new gadget. I know that it won't be a new phone, as my mom will kill me if I upgrade again this soon. It's most like going to be mini laptop. I been considerin the MSI Wind, Asus eee pc 900, and Nokia N810. I like the N810 because it's small, but I have my ipod for ultimate portability, and the others can do more, so that's probably out. The Wind is the same price as the eee, but offers longer battery life, bluetooth, and a larger screen and keyboard, so right now it's what I'll be getting. I'm also very excited to see what happens with the Dell mini Inspiron, Dell E? It looks promising. I probably won't be able to afford any of these for 2 weeks to a month. Let me know if you guys have any suggestions. I'll keep you updated.

New Phone!!!

I recently purchased a new phone, the Nokia 5700 Express Music. i bought it from Bachviet on HOFO for $180. It also came with the Motorola HT820 stereo bluetooth headphones and a 8gb micro sd card. So far I love it, the only thing is I miss having qwerty and wifi, so I'll be buying the E71 hopefully as soon as it comes out. Below is the unboxing video i did of it.

Update

So just a quick update on things...

I'm out of school now, which I'm very excited about. I've also been working quite a bit, which is excellent as it provides funds with which to purchase new tech stuff. I should have several packages coming in the next week, I'll be recording videos about all of them once they arrive.

I also upgraded my shadow to WM6.1 again, I figured out that I just needed to configure the data service for everything to work. It also provides much better reception in school.
