Nokia N86

Here the Nokia N86 the only Nokia phone (currently) that comes in 8.0 megapixel.... a great new gadget to own if you dont wish to carry a compact camera with you on the street and still wish to take nice picture.

Compare with my N79... the screen is a lot more bigger and comes in QLED, it has faster respond than mine (some features only). The size is bigger and heavier (due to the metal finishing) and black color does attract some finger prints.... but that doesnt matter anyway.

The screen is big and bright.... and it make the N79 color look so dull.

It is a two way slider (i dunno the official term) just like his brothers (N95, N96, N85,....), playing Ngage game on it will definitely be better than N79.

It comes with a stand in the back and i guess this is not a new feature anyway... so skip.

This is the major feature of this phone... 8.0 megapixel camera. It also comes with autofocus, and other features like setting the exposure rate, scene mode, white balance, and some basic ISO setting (they is only three choices for it)

OK the picture above i took it with the N86, picture quality are wonderful... really a lot greater than my N79... the only complain is the white balance for this gadget doesnt really perform well under artificial lighting.

I dun own any other 8.0 megapixel phone, so i cant compare it with others... but i would said this is a great phone to own, overall built quality and interface itself is simple enough to be used by any ppl out there.

Panasonic 42" Plasma TV TH42S10K

Purchase this TV about 2 weeks ago, the price of Plasma and LCD this day are getting cheap. Now i can finally said goodbye to my good old Dell 24" LCD monitor, and no more see 6ft in front of the desk to play games and watch movies/anime.

Remember 3 years ago i bought my Dell 24" LCD for RM2.4k+- and back then it was the only LCD monitor in the market that supported FullHD, why i choose it.... mainly because Plasma and LCD TV that has FullHD cost about RM6 - 9k.

Now why Plasma over LCD, I would said that i have no special reason choosing so... although i heard that Plasma TV got lots of issue with IE Ghosting and Burn in.

To be honest ever since i got my TV i havent actually play any nice HD game on it yet... reason is there is none currently... the most i play is the Fat Princess which is a cute 3D cartoon type game, most if the time i am spending time watching downloaded anime through streaming.

PS3 is really and entertainment system that gives you everything, streaming all those video frm my PC to my PS3 is easy with the help of Tversity and PS3MediaServer.
You will need this 2 software on your PC to enable your PS3 to play every format of videos files.


Tversity is good for watching RMVB files which PS3MediaServer fail to do so (It is freaking hard to setup the PS3MediaServer to run the RMVB file smoothly), no setup is required just add the file in your library and press share it then you can view those video on your PS3.

PS3MediaServer requires more setting than the Tversity but the pros of doing so is you get better result... but still i cant find anyway to run my RMVB files on it without having it to stop every 3 sec. Then again MKV files are fully supported along with surround and subtitle function. Hope the newer version will solve the problem with RMVB so we wont need to have both software running on the PC.

Soon i will be playing the upcoming Batman Arkham Asylum on my precious Plasma then i can finally feel the great effect and graphics on my TV.

Diablo III's Monk

The Monk the new class of DiabloIII (D3), just announce last week on the Blizzcon. I know this is quite some old news by now I am just so happy to see some progress of D3 although i would be happier if Blizzard would just declare on when they gonna put Starcraft 2 on shelf.




Remember on the previous Blizzcon, we already have 3 classes announce, Barbarian, WitchDoctor and the Socerror/Wizzard. They did not show much different from the previous installment D2, all standard hack and slash movement plus some new skill. But this Monk seems to be different it has its own unique combo system, and the skill you used will have 3 stages each and can interchange with each others making it like something unique (Something like those combo in DMC series).



I guess this monk is some ShaoLin Monk, his skill are awesome and full surprise... who wont want to try the explodding palm.



This is any finish product yet... so who know wat Blizzard will do later on, we wont know what they would do to this D3 project... they may even cancel it (just like SC Ghost) and we wont see a launching of this game for years to come. I am guessing at least 4-5 years time because SC2 havent launch and may be launch next year 2010, then its 2 expansion will come after it with each using 1 year time, then after that will have some Beta testing of D3 and debugging... so guess will be around year 2014 onwards.
