I just ordered a HTC Touch Pro II. Windows mobile phones get as much stick as any other version of Windows, but I've always been a big fan. Maybe not as slick as an I-Phone but a lot more customizable.

Also, 1am is my favourite time of the day.

I happen to like a lot of Windows mobile capable phones, just hate the OS, however, the HTC touch pro II is skinned very nicely by HTC, it barely even looks like it's running Windows Mobile OS

Yeah, the OS is definitely the weakest link. HTC make some fantastic devices.

Here it's raining really hard, hopefully it wont inturupt our watching Monk, a good show, it's on it's last season though, sadly, it's sad to see a good show go, but it's lasted a solid seven seasons, I guess it was expected to only last 7 seasons.

Yeah, I'm really bored and felt like posting, haha, I'm like addicted to this site. I always go to it, and check to see how everything is going, even if I don't post, I check everyday, lol.

So yeah, I'm bored right now, lol.

I've been trying to treat Leo, my Leopard Gecko's eye problem. Some one told me not to worry but its hard not to.

What's wrong with his eye, knowing he's a Gecko he'll probably be fine, Geckos have an odd ability to heal themselves over time. So don't worry too much.

He can't open it and it looks infected.

Windows mobile isn't that popular over here. Its nationcentric i've seen, we are very fond of Symbian OS, and you are very Windows mobile liking. Android just floats around loving everyone.

My LG GW520 went up the duff already, so I did a deal with my parents to get a Nokia 5530. I have FIINALLY got a Wifi capable device. since Fareham, the local bigger town, is basically just one big huge wifi hotspot, i'm happy :D. I got it on a Vodaphone pay as you go from Carphone Warehouse, but what they dont tell you is, Carphone Warehouse's pay as you go phones are actually all sim free. So I just slip my orange sim into it.

Bit of a story behind this one, bought an HP a little over a year ago and the HDD failed, my father mailed me out a spare which I installed. Couldn't get it to connect to the net so I bought the Vista Upgrade yesterday and tried to install it. No joy there either but I managed to get it on the net with XP only to find that the HDD (or something) is overheating and get this, there's no case cooling fan in the machine! So I've ordered a couple fans to install.

What a pain in the ass.

Next time, I build my own.

The lens is fantastic. I took the following pictures on a trip a few weeks ago. The first one is taken with by 17mm lens (the widest angle lens I have). The second one is the new 100-400mm at maximum zoom. If you look at the first picture the people in the second picture are there, pretty small under the tree. :) Obviously these are scaled down so you can see them fully.

Yup, oh yes, I also have a doubler that can be fitted to the camera that turns the 400mm into 800mm twice the zoom. The only issue is that I have to focus manually, not much of a problem.
