  • Sony Ericsson T616


    The other day I decided to upgrade my phone from the Sony Ericsson T68i. I’d had mine for probably close to a year and while it has been a pretty decent phone, I’d been waiting for the ability to take the next step up for a while now. Luckily, AT&T started offering the Sony Ericsson T616, and was letting me get the rebate on the phone so that it was pretty cheap. I’ve had it for two days now and love it. Here’s some initial thoughts on the phone.

    One of my biggest complaints about the T68i was the screen. Yes, it was color, but it was small, and I always felt like it would be nicer if it was a little bit bigger. The T616’s screen is beautiful, very much an improvement over the T68i. The next thing I really like on the phone is the T9 support. It always felt fairly kludgy on the the T68i. The interface to it on the T616 is much cleaner, making it very easy to add words to the dictionary and switch to the old fashioned method of typing in words.

    The next cool thing is the camera. It lets you take pictures at either 288×352 or 120×160, and then lets you either send them via MMS or an email. Pretty slick. So far I’ve enjoyed it a bunch and even started posting to the new part of my blog with it. The phone also comes with bluetooth support, which is a must for me (and made moving to the phone very easy). And it even lets you play games on it (though I could care less about that feature).

    Moving to the phone was trivial. When I bought the phone the salesperson (who was extremely helpful and helped me figure out if I should update my service or not). And all it took to activate was moving the SIM card from one phone to the other. So far, I’m digging this phone a lot. My only complaint is that it is taking a little to get used to the buttons on the phone, they’re just different enough in feel from the T68i that I can’t dial w/out looking… yet.

  • The Anime Network

    I posted about The Anime Network a few months ago. At that point in time it was only available in the Philly area. I just looked at what On Demand (the video on demand service that Comcast uses) and noticed that I have access to it. I’ll probably try ordering something to watch tomorrow, but I’m a little concerned about the cost. From what I read on Comcast’s site it will cost me around $3/program to watch. $3 for 30 minutes is a bit steep. I can rent an anime DVD for around that and keep it for a few days. Why can’t they just include it in one of the cable packages along with On Demand? The next thing to find out if they offer subtitled versions of the shows.

  • ARRRRRR

    BOOTY! WENCHES! ARRRR!

    That’s right, it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day. So go out there and have some pirate goodness. Me, I’m gonna watch a buncha One Piece.

  • WWYS

    I just visited the wonderful folks at wewanteryoursoul.com and found that my soul is worth 7518 GBP (12,151.44 USD). Also 87% of people have a purer soul than you. Rock. I’m pretty EVIL!

  • Moblog Madness

    Well. I’ve finally taken the next stop in blogging. I now have a moblog. Since I have a swanky camera phone now I decided to set one up. I’m not sure how much I’ll post to it, but it was a neat exercise to get it working. Big thanks go out to Erik Benson for his moblog guide. Without that I would have been lost.
