Netgear SPH200W Wi-Fi Skype Phone

admin — Mon, 04 Aug 2008 10:48:29 +0000

I bought this phone at the beginning of April 2008. My intention was to use this phone solely for home use since I have broadband at home. So far I have been satisfied. But not totally! Here’s my review after using it for about three weeks.

I have connected to an unsecured, WEP, and WPA2-PSK access points.
Yes, it does take some time to connect from 5 - 20 mins. Frustrating at times. At home it takes about ten minutes. The best thing to do is fully charge the phone and then turn it on. I have a DLINK DIR-625 router and use WPA2-PSK encryption.

Belgian newspapers asks for $77.5 million from Google

admin — Thu, 29 May 2008 21:06:26 +0000

A group of Belgian newspapers sued Google and are now asking for 49.2 million euros, around 77.5 million dollars.

Belgian newspapers claims that Google violated copyright laws by reading the publisher’s content and posting it in Google News, caching their content.

Google was sued in 2006 but now in 2008 they still didn’t get to a deal.

Google claims that content in Google News is legal and according to Margaret Boribon (secretary general at Copiepresse), Google failed to accept their claims.

Margaret Boribon said that Belgian publishers are still open to a settlement.

Nokia 6600 review

admin — Wed, 21 May 2008 23:23:07 +0000

I used this phone for many years, still works as new. Nokia 6600 is a very smart phone. I like that you can find many programs for it, including flash player, this allows you to run different kind of software.

A nice software that I seen was one that all owes to control computer’s winamp program, you can see playlist and controls on phone.

Other software allowed you to place the phone anywhere with bluetooth activated and it was sending images to computer acting as a wireless security camera.

It can be also used as modem to connect your computer to Internet.

It is very durable, for some reason I hit mine as hard as I could into the car’s windshield, the phone open into its pieces (back cap, battery, sim card, etc) but nothing is broken and it works perfect.

Its shape allows you to have a good grip on it when holding it in hand without talking. Only bad part is that it responds very slow to commands after you install many programs and fill its memory. I understand that this is a common issue with Symbian operating systems.

Some of the features are:

bluetooth connection
infrared connection
camera (photo and video recorder)
modem
java compatible
flash player compatible
