Update / motorola e1000
Been too busy to blog over the week. Wed had Desiyah's first board meeting (the official first one) at Sigma Pharmaceutical's (Sigma's our main sponsor) board room at their HQ in Clayton. Apparently their place's quite large, almost went to the wrong building.. Was busy the 2 nights prior to that preparing the report and updating the costs etc.. Over the weekend was quite overwhelmed with work. Had 2 important things due - Desiyah's business plan (finance part) and presentation. Ended up got both half done and with little, if any, amount of sleep. sigh...
Just had a major presentation worth 20% assessment today, did mine on China while Ben did his on "whether globalisation is a zero-sum game?" I took the easy way out and discussed China. Ben strutted his stuff and my.. its really nice to have informal discussions in lectures and tutes for this unit - INT3015 Production, Consumerisme and the Environment in the Contemporary World. Instead of being spoon-fed and reading from books, we are discussing current issues and exchanging opinions in a very casual relaxed environment. THIS IS UNI SHOULD BE! Just proves my inadequate knowledge on many things (eg I need to update my knowledge on the -isms - capitalism, socialism, communism etc etc and stuff like the international labour movement etc)
Very busy semester this will be, with yet another law unit to take. This time - taxation law. 3 text books (incl legislation) and thousands and thousands of pages. doubt I'll go through half or even a quarter of that. Oh did I mention how expensive these books are??
AUD 250 plus O_o
Hmm the only remotely interesting thing over the last few days: got a new phone.
Motorola e1000 3G phone.
1st impressions: huge screen (its double the size of my old phone's screen!), fairly large size, nifty camera (or should I say cameras since there's 2 - internal and external), decent keypads (easier to use than expected), 5 way joystick thingy
cons (after using it for all of 3 days) -- LOW battery life. Seriously there are pros and cons. The big screen looks nice and all that but REALLY eats into battery consumption. When not in use, the phone totally goes blank-screen and I start wondering whether its on or not. I mean it is, but am used to at least the time being shown on screen..
Will take pics of it when I'm free. Have the black coloured model (which's the only colour available here at the moment). Probably post up a proper review when I've used it longer.
Price? -- nothing. Got it under a special promotion, but in a year's time, will have to fork out about $200. But that's only if I terminate my agreement. If I don't (over 24 months), the phone's FREE.
Heard the price in Malaysia's pretty steep. Anyone care to enlighten me?
