Mr Lee Posted December 24, 2008 Posted December 24, 2008 :1 (235): OK, it is Christmas, did anyone get any neat gifts that they are willing to tell the rest of us about? :th_signs083: keep it clean guys and gals! :th_thanx: I will start offMy wife bought me a new laptop. I guess that was a good gift since I bought her one for our anniversary? Shhhh, don't tell her, the one I already have is probably better but I do have to admit the 15.4 inch screen on the new one is a lot easier to see than the 13" one on my Sony. I guess I am getting old! :cheers: Now I have one for each hand. :AddEmoticons04230: Fun, fun, fun, trying to learn Vista. :1 (103): I was so used to XP and so far I am not at all familiar with Vista, but a friend of mine who is in the security end of the computer business, tells me that Vista is more secure. :1 (235): Is that true? Another problem is that I am also told that Vista will be replaced soon with Windows 7 because Vista supposedly has a lot of problems. :thumbsup: Can anyone elaborate on what my friend told me and on what people have been telling me about the problems that I might expect with Vista, both my wife's laptop and my new one have Vista home premium edition? :why-me: As you can all guess, I am not much of a computer expert and while I do know how to use one, I do not really understand all the works of a lot that goes on in this new electronics world. :th_thanx: Help!!! :3_8_14[1]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a dual Sim card cell phone.So far its good, touch screen takes a bit of getting used to. The dual Sim will come in handy next time I'm in Cebu.Now heres the funny bit,the manual has been translated poorly,example..... do not short circuit the battery,also do not have the battery with with metal and so on necklace to put on the same place otherwise can cause the battery to leak fluid,to be hot,ruptures and cooks meals :AddEmoticons04230: work that one out, phone can cook meals I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Lee Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 (edited) I bought my self a present and it arrived from China yesterday, yes I know some recommend not to buy Chinese made products but I wanted to test this one. Its a dual Sim card cell phone.So far its good, touch screen takes a bit of getting used to. The dual Sim will come in handy next time I'm in Cebu.Now heres the funny bit,the manual has been translated poorly,example..... do not short circuit the battery,also do not have the battery with with metal and so on necklace to put on the same place otherwise can cause the battery to leak fluid,to be hot,ruptures and cooks meals :AddEmoticons04230: work that one out, phone can cook meals I guess You have any pictures of it to share? I do not think I could use one of those because sometimes my cell phones are all three going at once and I think it might be easier to just have separate phones.In case someone is wondering, one Smart for me and one for my wife and she also gets a Sun so she can talk to her relatives and some friends unlimited for 30 days. I also use it to talk to some of my friends, that is, when she is not on it. :th_thanx: Of course on top of those three, we have a home line and a Magic Jack, so I do not know if I could deal with a dual sim phone on top of all the others. :thumbsup: Please let me know how it works out. :cheers:ADDED, Oh, as far as Chinese translations, our condo had not installed the intercoms as of the time we left earlier this year, because they could not understand the instructions that were only in Chinese, so I guess bad translation is better than no translation. :3_8_14[1]: I hope they figure it out and got it installed by now :th_signs083: or at least by the time we get back.

Mr Lee Posted December 25, 2008 Author Posted December 25, 2008 I got a hangover. I would like to return it but I don't know how to get it back into the bottle.That is one of the million dollar questions, :th_thanx: :AddEmoticons04230: along with how to get the smoke back into one of them pesky electronic parts, when the smoke leaks out and they no longer want to work.

TheMason Posted December 25, 2008 Posted December 25, 2008 Hmmm...let's see....I got socks to wear around the house because it's so "cold" here in Baguio, a bath towel, headphones, and a coffee mug. I also got to enjoy my first Filipino Christmas with my new family. It's the best Christmas I've had since I got a new sled when I was 7.Merry Christmas everyone!
