Yeah, Friday again, time passes so fast. But I still feel excited when I back from Macau, may be Hong Kong is my home country. I have watched “Wall-E” in Element. This is a lovely animation, because it is from Pixel, quality is guaranteed. And I just went home now. And the 3G dock already on my table. Let me show you some photos,

Macau is my current working location, and I DON’T get free GPRS for my Pay-as-you-go plan. I tried to put a empty value in the APN setting , it can still use the EDGE service with its own detection. And I have been riped off $50 (US$ 7) at the first day. And finally, i can stop it from request data by doing the following setting.  I would like to share this method to the people has the same situation.  

1. go to -> Settings -> General -> Network -> Cellular Data Network
2. In the APN field , enter a Dummy value , like “NOAPN”, and that’s it.  

You can restore the EDGE if you wanna use the service later on.  Hope it can help someone to save a beer.

I am so happy to get this device in hand, since i was the first-gen iphone user as well. In here, I need to provide some casual facts that i like this device.

1.  A Good 2G basic phone ( not classified as a 3G since there is no video conferencing)
2. A good email client for most of the webmail service (except Hotmail/Live Mail)
3. The best internet mobile device
4. multi-touch screen to let the user interact faster than other device
5. Chinese handwriting input 
6. GPS to locate the current position in the earth
7. Apps Store to let developer like me that to create or to get apps easily
8. A decent camera to take photos with friends

Although it is so great, there are still cons about it.

1. Camera is only 2-mega pixels
2. Auto reset / reboot itself if you try to doing too many things at the same time
3. Apps deliver conflicts with itune
4. the first-gen iphone docks doesn’t fit it in
5. EDGE can’t be turn off to save money
6. Notes doesn’t sync to my Mac in anyway
7.  The contact search bar is on the top of the contact list (not floating on top while you search contacts)
8. Hong Kong Apps store doesn’t come with all Apps that US had. ( I mean even some Free Apps is US or Europe Only Apps)
9. Wall paper inside the interface can’t be changed
