Sony Ericsson Satio

Sony Ericsson Satio is still the best camera phone on the market even with the release of Xperia X10. Satio has got Red Eye Reduction and Touch Focus but these two functions are missing from Xperia X10. In addition, Satio is using LED Photo Light & Xenon Flash which allows photo taking in poor lighting conditions while Xperia X10 is using Photo Light only.

Satio has the combination of the Cyber-Shot Camera Phones and Walkman Music Phones. Previously Sony Ericsson has market them as 2 different types. Satio is a 12.1 Megapixel camera and the camera recharges quickly so that you can takes one photo after another. This is an advantage over the Samsung Pixon 12 M8910 slow charging camera. It also equipped with Best Pic, Smile Detection and Photo Fix.

Satio also has the function of Walkman Phones. I assured you will be happy with the music quality. But the main defects about this is the missing 3.5 mm jack.

Using advanced motion sensor technology, the LG-KP501 adds more fun interactivity to games so users can enjoy mobile entertainment in a more dynamic and exciting way. The games loaded on the LG KP500 use a motion sensor that requires the user’s eye-hand coordination to balance, flip, shift, and twist the handset to play the games.

The Silver LG Cookie offers a 3.0 inch wide full touch screen which allowed you to enjoy watching videos, playing games, and looking at photos on a bigger screen. Bigger is better and that also makes it easier to use by physical touch since larger icons are easier to navigate than smaller ones.

The era has finally arrive in Singapore, all mobile phone users will get to keep one mobile phone number for life. The full mobile number portability will kicks in on 13 June 2008. Consumers will be able to keep their existing mobile number when they switch mobile operators.

Porting Existing Number
Currently we need to port our existing number to another mobile operator. One time administration fee will apply unless waive by the mobile operator due to promotion. It takes one working day to port the existing number to another telco. Your existing mobile number will then appear on another party's caller-ID when you Call, SMS or MMS.

Ported Already
Subscribers who have switched operators and currently have their calls forwarded from their old mobile numbers, will be moved to the new service for free. From April 22, the telcos will start informing the 130,000 subscribers using the call-forwarding service to decide which number they would like to keep. They will have until May 14 to decide, and the migration will be completed by June 13.

Telcos will offer more competitive prices and plans in their bid to keep their existing subscribers. There will not be any price war but of course there will be promotions to lure consumers to switch Telcos.

Java Extractor

The EQ java Extractor will help you to extract java files out from your mobile phone so that you can upload to your PC. It can extract any java applications or java games on your mobile phone. You must ensure the java applications or games are install on your memory card. It will not work if the applications or games are installed on the phone.
In this case, I am testing it out on a Sony Ericsson Phone.
1.Install java program "EQ Java Extractor"on phone
2.Please move the games you want to extract to memory card
3.Start for "EQ Java Extractor".
4.Select the java games or apps press SELECT.
5."EQ Java Extractor" is closed.
6. The file with game or apps will move to a folder Other.

Please use your SE File Manager and click on Other. You will see the games or apps you have extracted to be inside the folder. It should work with other java enable phone but I am not sure where the files will be extracted to.
