I finally found the local agents for Sony Ericsson in Colombo, and managed to pick up a M600i. The reviews for this have mostly been great but since it doesn’t have a camera nor does it have WiFi, some people decide to ignore it.
However, if taking shoddy pictures isn’t a priority and with 3G (UMTS), does one really need WiFi? Since shifting to DSLR, all these ‘integrated camera’ jobbies just don’t feel right, but at times it does come in handy for various things. I may have to look into something like a Casio Exilim (tiny and portable)…
The phone is sturdy and the keys have a very nice backlight. The OS is great and I’ve got 3G, GPRS and emails all setup including RSS feeds. This has been made with a sole purpose - to satisfy the needs of PDA+Mobility - and this has been done very nicely. I’m quite happy with this and would recommend this to anyone looking for a decent mobile to upgrade to.
Christmas is around the corner, and most people are buzzing about getting their shopping sorted. Today I managed to pick up some gifts, apart from other things, but will be busy over the next few days.

This game has simply blown me away. The hype is no longer simply hype, it’s reality.
Simply put, if you haven’t, get it now, and if you haven’t got a 360 go get one now too. This is an ‘epic’ game and is going to be the cornerstone by which future console games are going to be judged. It delivers graphically like never before and the gameplay is astonishingly impressive. This is now my all time #1 game!

Even though I posted this a while back and even suggested Google correct this error, it is STILL showing the same mistake,
…and to make sure that it isn’t I that is making an error, I found this online calculator that spits out the same result as my own obervations,
I guess the only way I can get this fixed is by making enough noise about it, so I’m hoping by have this ‘dugg’ it will get Google’s attention
