The Nokia X6 is the latest Symbian-based music phone with 32GB of on-board memory, 3.2inch capacitive touch screen, packed in a candy bar form-factor. Best of all, Nokia has thrown in Comes with Music for the 32GB version, allowing you access to the hottest hits anytime.
The 13.8mm thick Nokia X6 doesn’t come with any slider keyboard. In fact, physical keyboard is redundant due to the capacitive touch screen. Why have a physical keyboard when you have a on screen keyboard? Buttons are also kept to a minimal on the Nokia X6 – Power & USB on the top; Volume controls, unlock & camera on the right side; and SIM card slot on the left of it screen. That’s all.

2nd hand Holux GPSlim 240
Got a second hand Holux GPSlim 240 from a local forumer. Aesthetically-wise, it has got deep scratches. Functionality-wise, ok! Just some basic specifications.
Specifications
- Tracks up to 20 satellites
- Receiver: L1, C/A code
- Update rate: 1 HZ(max)
- Antenna Type: Built in Patch Antenna
- Minimum signal tracked: -159dBm *
- Dimension: 64 x 22 x 15 mm
- Weight : < 35g
- On/off switch: slide switcher
- Lithium-ion battery lasts for more than 8 hours of use
Acquisition time
- Reacquisition 0.1 sec. averaged
- Hot Start 1 sec. averaged
- Warm Start 38 sec. averaged
- Cold Start 42 sec. averaged
Took it out for a “test drive” this afternoon. It seems like the satellite lock on timing is pretty fast (compared to my E66 when assistance is turned off). I think it averaged around 40 seconds to locate enough satellites for a 2D lock, give it a couple of seconds more and it will achieve a 3D lock.
Bringing it around is also simple, there is a catch on the tracker for you to attach lanyard. With that, you can tie the tracker to your backpack or hang it across your chest! Looking forward to using it overseas!
Took some pictures of the PlayOn!HD Full HD Media Player!
Cant wait to unbox the media player!

Noticed the speed of M1’s mobile broadband/broadband on mobile is really irregular. I have had times of terrible speeds, terrible latency in the range of tens of thousands ms. On lucky days I get my fair share of the speed I am entitled to.
My equipments
As I do not have a USB dongle, my Nokia E51 doubled up as my 3.5g modem. The mobile connection is shared out to my iPod Touch (2G) through JoikuSpot.
Monitoring procedure
I use mobile on broadband frequently – reading news and mails, downloading apps on iPod Touch, surfing blogs of friends, etc. At times, the response is really sluggish on mobile broadband. So I would try to do speedtest regularly to track the performance of M1 Mobile Broadband.
The results

It finally arrived! Snapped some pictures of the USB adaptor. It should work perfectly with my DIR-855!

It seems to me that the wireless features of both the DIR-855 and DIR-655 are pretty much the same. The only exception is that DIR-855 came equipped with 5Ghz Wireless A/N band.
I remember being taught that the higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength but higher penetrative strength. Shorter wavelength leads to shorter transmission distance. So I would expect wireless network on 5Ghz band to be shorter in range but packs more punching power through walls or obstacles. I’ve done a simple wireless speed test without any obstacles in this post (DIR-855 wireless speed).
