The Daily Dog for Friday, July 03, 2009

I wont to know if you can tether with this phone? I currently have the Blackberry 8830 and I am due for a upgrade. I really like this phone and that would be my only draw back from getting it. I travel alot with my job and I use my BB as a dail up modem alot. Can some one please let me know.

Ok, so being a PC Engineer, I am always looking/seeking out the next best device for anything related to cellphones/texting..etc...I ended up googling best texting device one night and stumbled upon www.getpeek.com which has an amazing device for $15-$20/month you can email/txt anyone/anytime/anywhere!!

It's called a Peek Pronto which is the latest version..originally there was a Peek, then came the Peek Classic..the Peek classic is really cheap @ $15-$20 but you would have to upgrade to the latest Peek Pronto software which would cost you about $40..yah not my best idea either so I went to www.costco.com where they have the peak pronto with acessories at no charge for $60 (90 day store return poliy as usual if I'm not happy).  But don't stop there..if you get the device from www.getpeek.com they will refund your money in full...but the monthly subrscription can't go anywhere as far as being credited or refunded (duh) .

  So back to the device specs..it is a 2.5 QVGA 240x320 QVGA display..the OS is running Linux soyou know it won't gohaywire on you and the device weighs only 3.8oz.  The device actually runs off of Tmobile's GSM network..another option if you are an international traveler and don't wanna leave yer peek at home alone is a $60 montly subscription to send/receive international texting all your thumbs desire!

   Anyways, hope this is a good enough description on the device..ohh..BTW..Kodak originally ame up with this device but lost its finances for it so anIndian company took it over whih you now see on selet store shelves...their customer service is just as warm n nice as tmo cellphone sertvice ;-)

New photos have been leaked FINALLY.....

The phone has samsungs touch wiz interface

My samsung glyde has been acting weird so i decided it was time to get a new phone the 2 phones that i like the most are the Samsung Omnia or the Blackberry Storm i like both and i still can't decide.

ummm... You can pick any number up to 100 for each color... You can go higher if you change [7] in the menu to a higher number (this will drain more power from the battery, however... and possibly burn out your LEDs faster if you set it too high.)

a.) press the number you want to edit (1-7)

b.) touch the text bar

c.) type in the value (1-100)

d.) click OK

e.) click OK again

so today i stumbled on an article today that htc hero passed fcc with approved bands of 850/1900 with a detailed picture of the backing and having a "sim" slot. so then i did more research and it turns out that both tmobile and at&t uses those bands but to my knowledge at&t does not use sim cards. We should start doing some research on this cause another highly unlikely reason at&t will not get the phone because it would just be a war within themselves trying to sell the hero and the iphone especially since they also just released the 3gs. but who knows companies nowdays are trying to find every bit of way to make a buck. on the other note it was really funny reading all these comments and posts about if the hero goes to at&t that they will drop iphone and what not or people will switch carriers for sure.

well  reply back with what you guys come up with or think about this.
