I was looking around for a U3 drive to buy and I found out there is an open source portable application loader called Portableapps which is gr8 and has all my favorite applications running directly from the drive.

It can even run from my mobile…:) I’m on my way to order a non U3 drive…

Finally I have lost my thumb drive . This is one of the few things that stuck for more than 3 years before I loose or misplace it some where.

For every pen that I have lost if i get a dollar I would have at least a 1000$.

Yes finally I got my unlock code for my buggy but gr8 Tmobile SDA phone.

Its unlocked now but it did put up a show of not showing me any signs of activity,not even a single blimp. I was damn pissed after spending so much time to get the correct unlock code from Tmobile. Good they trained at least one person to do the work properly others weren’t gr8 and always had problem understanding when I give out the IMEI number.

On a scale of 10 I was pissed 100 thats how mad I was when my phone didn’t show any signs of life. Now I know y people get mad for small issues.

Beware people U have been warned..

its been more than 2 year since I got the phone and still good..one good product from Microsoft..

Its been a long time since I have posted to my blog. I have become more lazy now a days that’s the reason. Well I recently upgraded my Bluetooth headset to Plantronics Voyager 520.

I had a Plantronics Voyager 510 a big fan of that device and the best in the market till to date for the cost. I got the 510 for 45 bugs 18 months before I didn’t have a single problem and lot of my friends got that and are really satisfied with it. But the 510 couldn’t survive my rough handling so the windscreen got broken a month before. Since the Plantronics started offering the voyager 520 I decided to go for it.

It was really tough finding Voyager 520 in stock as it always ran out of stock at many sites I ordered. Finally I got mine from a site called www.chumbo.com for 60$.

Here is a picture of comparing the voyager series size with orbitz chewing gum. The Plantronics voyager 520 has been reviewed by so many time by pros on the web. I will basically tell you the pros and cons of 520 over 510.

Voyager 520 in its desktop Charger

Pros:

• Its smaller than the Voyager 510.
• Has a talk time of 8hrs.2 hrs more than 510 although my 510 talk time went down after a 6 months of use to 3 – 4hrs still good.
• Feels light and won’t even notice it if you R used to wearing the 510 for long time.
• Seamlessly connects with my Laptop and phones.

Cons:

• USB charger is not part of package its available as a accessory. It would have been good if they have shipped it along with the package like the Discovery 655 BT headset.
• No improvements over 510 in range.Still causes static once I cross 20 feet from source.
• The volume control is little hard to press especially when increasing the volume sometimes I end up disconnecting the call.
• No big improvements in wind noise canceling same as 510.

If you are looking for a mid range Bluetooth headset that connects with almost any Bluetooth device around the price range of 50$ – 60$ then this is the headset for you. if you have decided to buy Plantronics Voyager 510 then you can certainly buy 520 which has longer talk time and smaller.

I will attach a voice test Mp3 file later.

Thx
