The Websolace

We’re at the Buddha bar, twenty four days a week. Seven hours a day. It’s not the alternate reality, you’ve just been living different.

This is the life. A good life.

There you go, this one is fourteen seconds long.

Spiderpig

~Spiderpig, Spiderpig! Does whatever a Spiderpig can. Can he swing.. from a web? No he can’t, cause he’s a pig. Look out, here is Spiderpig!

This movie is promising, the trailers and teasers are incredibly funny!

I noticed a demand for the “Spiderpig” ringtone, so I made my own!

Here you go..

On many occasions, your browser will try to call a plug-in to play it directly, so just right click the link and choose “Save as..” if you’re using IE, else, go away.

I don’t know where I come in at this argument, but it’s really silly.

The N95.

It’s a great phone, tons of features, and I own one.

The iPhone?

I personally think it’s a joke, but I admit.. I was craving for one back then.. but feature wise, it’s really way behind in the lightyears. A complete joke, a good analogy for the iPhone and the N95 would be a jock and a geek respectively. One looks spankin’, but has a peanut for a brain and gets all the hot dumb chicks, the latter, has a lot to boast inside, doesn’t come out that strong to some people, but to those that it does, it’s a great experience.

Robert Scoble?

I don’t really know where he really comes in, he owns an N95 and used to love it and having bought an iPhone, the boat has turned upside down. Doesn’t really matter to me at all.

The N95 community? Good one.

I’ve had my mouth shut for so long, but this has gone far enough.

Please, if I’m being overly redundant (on the tons of times you’ve seen me say this), WE’VE ALREADY WON THE FIGHT. The N95 has a hell lot more to boast that what the iPhone offers. Come on, here’s something from Robert Scoble himself:

1. Replaceable battery.
2. Swapable SIM card capability (unlocked, use with any carrier).
3. GPS.
4. Quad band with 3G capability.
5. Keyboard you can use without looking at the phone.
6. Java application compatibility.
7. .NET application compatibility.
8. Flash application compatibility.
9. Offline internet connected applications.

Lets get back to the N95.

Even the first entry is enough to convince me the iPhone is one of the biggest blunders of all. As a jab to the Apple users in general, only a dimwit would trade off an N95 or most other phones in the market for an iPhone.

So what if..

1. It looks better.
2. Slimmer
3. Is “multi-touch”

As far as the first two are concerned, AESTHETICS!? I have to admit, multi-touch adds up nicely to the overall user experience, but coming from the N95, the iPhone doesn’t get close to the power user my phone has got me to become. I expect nothing but (as a cliché of Mac fans even) for those idiots to always go for the prettier device.

Blindly saying this.. the iPhone lacks innovation. That multi-touch screen has completely gone to waste. An incredibly useful technology from 2007 that got partnered up with crap from the 90s.

I completely understand that it’s not all about the features too. So.. let’s pretend I’m a Apple user, aka a bimbo (no not that first definition).

1. Can I send SMS with one hand with ease and fast as I could with most other phones?
2. Seeing that bimbos tend to have more than just one network to communicate with their bimbo pals, am I able to change the SIM on the phone?
3. It might be totally subjective to use, but how long will it’s screen last compared to screen and keypads on phones through regular use?
4. Bimbos tend to drop their phone a lot, how much beating can it withstand?
5. I personally know a lot of people who send MMSes a lot, DOES IT HAVE THAT? IF NOT, WHY?

That just gets me confused, a lot of people say you can disregard it’s lack of features and is meant for another audience. WHAT AUDIENCE?

Now, somewhat my first and final jab at the iPhone as an N95 user, so you don’t mistake me.

If you really think about it though, the two should be incomparable.

The iPhone was made with the iPod (and it’s hype) in mind, the N95 serves a lot of purposes. It takes a moment to realize that after all, we’ve been comparing an mp3 player (that happens to make calls as well) to a heavily featured cellphone (fine, call it a computer if you will).

There is no competition after all.

It might have bad build quality.

It might be too much tech for some people to handle.

It might be a Nokia.

BUT I LOVE IT.

The N95 is probably my most prized gadget, the RAZR V3 was good.. the N95 wasn’t a jump to better, but best. I adore it’s simple user interface, sleek look and connectivity options. WiFi, Bluetooth, IR, USB, no problem collaborating with other devices. One thing I’d like to note out is the 3.5mm jack, no longer would I need to be stuck with awful Nokia branded headphones that just makes you deaf.

EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, AWESOME. HSDPA is amazingly fast in the Philippines, but ridiculously expensive as well. .25c per Kb which is about 150 Php ~ $3 per megabyte is so wrong. I wish my telecom would give me about 5-15Mb per month free at the least.

The camera is just breath taking, not that it’s a 5 megapixel or anything, disregard that. At the end of the day, you won’t find any mobile phone that steps up to consumer digicam quality, while there’s still visible noise, the overall result is stunning. You can even change light exposure and all the more technical camera tweaks. Will post some pictures I’ve taken soon!

Straight up, Symbian 9.1 (Series 60 version 3) is BUGGY. If you don’t mind a few restarts now and then, then it’s bearable. The huge application catalog is wicked, lots to extend my phone’s functionality. I’d also like to point out that this phone has an onboard graphics adapter, though except for System Rush (a game), no other application has really made use of it.

Having seen that.. there is only one word.. POTENTIAL!
