Vertu Constellation Ayxta Update! It’s Broken!

Vertu Constellation Ayxta If you noticed last week, we did an unboxing on the Vertu Constellation Ayxta. A gorgeous new flip phone that costs oodles and oodles.. Well this week its broken! I put one of my 3 SIMs in it to start using it and absorbing it into my daily repertoire. And then it [...]

Unboxing the Vertu Constellation Ayxta

Vertu, the high-end Nokia luxury handset company, released a flip version of their phone towards the end of 2009 and I finally got my hands on one! So this is the unboxing view, and I’ll come back in a few weeks and do a proper review of the phone whilst in use. I purchased the [...]

What does an iPhone cost in your country, are you getting the best deal?

Carriers across the world insist on a 2 year contract when they hand out a new phone, such as an iPhone for a low price of say $199. But what does the same phone cost in Europe or in Australia? Which country is getting the best deal? Are you getting ripped off?

Carrying a Blackberry and an iPhone?

photo courtesy of CapMac iPhone SIG So much has already been written about the iPhone versus Blackberry, but what about some peaceful co-existence, or maybe overlapping contentment?

Tired of those high Int’l roaming charges? Move to the EU

As I mentioned the other day, the European Union was reviewing capping the rates carriers can charge on international roaming across Europe. Looks like it got resolved today!

Initial Thoughts on the HTC Touch Pro2

Judie: When HTC first sent news of their upcoming Touch Pro2 back in February, the personal note from my HTC contact said “PS: Know you have been waiting for the next Universal for awhile now…” Heck yeah I have, and that was a bit of a tease if there ever was one! Sure the radios, [...]

Tony Bennett needs one of these! Cable Car USB Drive

The iconic San Francisco Cable Car! Why would you carry around some black plastic stick or something looks like a key on your key ring when you could have one of these!

Patek Philippe has Arrived!

“You never really own a Patek Philippe, you merely take care of it for the next generation,” or so we are meant to believe. Rubbish! Buy one for yourself and if you are lucky enough to have a son who understands and appreciates it, you can then not concern yourself to its whereabouts beyond your [...]
