Since I have 2 Lines, I thought it would be handy to have Dual / Ghost Sim on my phone… So I bought one of the Ghost Sim Holder from EBay. When it arrived, I was pretty surprised of its design.

Unfortunately, I had to cut the Sim card into a small piece using a template. So, I cut the Sims… where the T-mobile Sim was straight forward but I had some problem with the O2 Sim… When I put the Sims into the holder and inserted into my phone, It didn’t work at all

So, basically buying this junk cost me around £6, plus £10 for replacement Sim from T-Mobile… Fortunately the O2 one was free of charge… Both my lines were out of order for around 5 Days!

I’ve learnt my lesson…

Another new member to my gadget collection! It is the Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headset HBH-IV835. It’s probably the lightest and the latest one around so I went ahead an ordered it… Looks pretty nice… Here is a picture…

• Weight: 10g.
• Talk Time: Up to 3.5 hours.
• Standby Time: Up to 160 hours.
• Up to 10m range.

This is a paragraph from Sony Ericsson’s site

The diminutive size won’t diminish the sound quality. Clear digital sound is assured with Digital Signal Processing (DSP), fast automatic volume adjustment and Bluetooth 2.0 for a more secure connection. You and the person you are talking to will notice the difference – even if many people won’t even notice you’re wearing a headset at all.

I have been using this Bluetooth Headset for about two weeks now. It’s really good and versatile.

The digital sound quality is exceptional although the talk time of 3.5 Hours is a bit short for someone who talks on the phone for over 3.5 Hours a day needs a recharge… It’s perfect for me because I only need to charge it every 5 days or so…

The design is perfect; you won’t even feel there is something on your ears. It’s pretty much having one side of a headphone in your ears without having a wire coming from it… The earpiece is a bit long in my point of view (3 mm shorter), that’s the only negative point I have about this Headset.

There is this pretty nifty software I’ve came across of, which encrypts the messages you sent via your IM clients. Meaning, this will prevents eavesdroppers from reading your MSN Messenger conversations.

SimpLite-MSN is free for personal use at home or at the office. However, only one product from the SimpLite family can be launched at the same time on your computer.Which means, You can only use SimpLite-MSN… If you use YahooIM, you will need to kill SimpLite-MSN and launch SimpLite-Yahoo, which can be pain on the neck… Unless you have Simp-Pro. Here is a screenshot of my Simp.

You can get the SimpLite Version for FREE at http://www.secway.fr/us/products/all.php

I have been using and evaluating the Perfect Email System for some time and I must say, I am impressed with it. Before I write about it, if you are not a fan of Microsoft like most of my friends are; you might not like it!

If you are one of those people, I suggest you move on

Part I

Unfortunately, the perfect Email system does cost a bit of money (Around $7 For Domain)…In my opinion it’s worth it. The Perfect Email System will have the following…

• E-mail Address - Anything of your choice. i.e. you@yourdomain.com
• Create an unlimited number of accounts in your domain. One for yourself, one for someone else etc…
• Web access to your E-Mail with Hotmail / LiveMail http://ideas.live.com/ Interface
• 2GB of storage Per Account.
• Integrated MSN Messenger - E-mail addresses at your domain can also be used for instant messaging and other services on the MSN and Windows Live network. You can do a LOT of contact maintenances with Windows Live Messenger alone!

To get that, all you need is just a domain name and Access to your Domain’s DNS MX entry.

You can get a domain for under $7 USD at www.godaddy.com which will provide you with total DNS Control Free of charge.

Just follow here for more info https://domains.live.com/

Part II

Unfortunately, the above won’t be classed as a Perfect Email System unless you also have a Client Access. I.e. Access the email via Outlook Live 2003. And it does cost a bit…

There are two Options

• Hotmail Plus - http://join.msn.com/hotmailplus/overview-std (cheaper, mail access only)
• Outlook Live - http://join.msn.com/outlook/overview-std (bit expensive; mail, calender, contacts access)

You will have more flexibility using Outlook live.

For example, You can download your mails to the Outlook (it doesn’t physically download the mail, it uses IMAP protocol which means the mails on your account is synchronized with your client. Which means, you can still see the mails on both Web-Based and on the E-mail Client (Outlook Live).

You can access it plan your schedule on Outlook Live Calendar, Manage your contacts on Outlook Live Contacts and all of them will be synchronized with your account. And when you login to you Hotmail / Live Mail account via web interface, all of the changes you’ve made on Outlook Live will be there!

That’s is what I call a Perfect Email System
