K1 a volta triunfal aos palcos
Eu já estava esperando a transportadora passar para levar ele de volta para ser substituído, quando hoje pela manha conversando com o meu amigo Earlie dono do fórum Gsmmasters.com.br (vale apena conhecer), me encorajou a atualizar o firmware dele e me guiou via MSN, de inicio fiquei com medo, mais a adrenalina subiu e resolvi meter mão pois antes fizemos um back-up completo para retornar a versão original caso algo desse errado.
E não é que deu errado logo na primeira tentativa de atualizar o bicho, porem com muita tranquilidade ele me mandou voltar o back-up original e logo em seguida o aparelho estava funcionando, pronto, me senti mais seguro e fomos atras de uma outra firm para o aparelho, uma chamada, mp by_gaziro tuning_motokrzr_k1.
Atualizei com essa firmware e o aparelho ficou 100% sem nenhum erro, com varias funções habilitadas, o som 40% mais alto e de quebra um menu lindo do Sony Ericsson C902.
Resumindo, apesar de muitos falarem que eu fiz besteira, que a Motorola é isso é aquilo, eu acho que o K1 faz bem a sua função, o sinal e bom, o som é bom, a câmera pra 2mp tira fotos satisfatórias, tem slot para cartão de memoria e funciona como pen drive alem de ser leve fino discreto e elegante, eu com certeza irei ficar com ele ate o fim do ano como já disse antes. A baixo tem um vídeo do youtube com a firm que eu instalei.
Gostaria de agradecer ao Earlie do www.gsmmasters.com.br pela sua ajuda, pois sem ela essa hora o K1 ainda estaria na caixa esperando para ser levado.
The Pirate Bay to be sold by August 2009
gaming company called the Global Gaming Factory X by August 2009. The Pirate Bay was in controversies many a times, the recent
being when the website's servers located in Stockholm were raided by Swedish police causing it to go offline for three days.
What exactly does The Pirate Bay website do ? Well basically it indexes and tracks BitTorrent (.torrent) files available online. In other words this website is useded by thousands of people to download free softwares, games, video, movies the site is used for free.
The website features efficient browse function which enables users to see what is available in categories like Audio, Video and Games as well as more specific categories like Audio books, Highres Movies, and Comics also enabling them to download these
files absolutely free. The contents which are mostly illegal can then be sorted basis categories by file name, number of seeds or leechers, dates posted, etc.
Global Gaming Factorywill acquire the site’s domain names and sites for SEK 60,000,000 ($7.8 million) - SEK 30,000,000 in cash and the rest in newly issue shares. Once taken over the Pirate Bay would have a new business model and probably a paid service.
Before it disappears do check out the website and its features...
Farra Online Legalizada.
Dizer que a Lei Azeredo é censura? Perfeita ela está longe de ser, há muitos detalhes que precisam ser melhorados, principalmente nos ditos pontos polêmicos.
Leiam a bobagem que o presidente disse Nesse Link
Chamar de censura? Censura é um certo "conselho nacional de jornalismo", mas como os nossos ministros do STF, fizeram em um ato a oficialização da desregulamentação do jornalismo, acabaram sem querer, cortando as asas da FENAJ, já que parte da verdadeira idéia do CNJ perdeu o sentido, pois "qualquer um pode ser jornalista".
Calar-se diante de uma tentativa de organizar a bagunça na internet brasileira é o máximo do aceitável, mas tentar usar a teoria geral da bravata para justificar o injustificável, algo que pode se tornar um avanço na lei brasileira, ultrapassou o limite do razoavel, ao criticar um projeto da oposição que é bom para o país. pagamos nosso presidente para ele fazer o que é melhor para o
Acabou? Não, tem mais AQUI
A culpa agora não é do Lula, mas vejam só
"Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, MSN Messenger, torpedo, vale tudo", afirmou Dino.
Que cada candidato tenha um perfil em cada site eu não ligo, agora SMS? "Entre as restrições de atuação, a nova lei eleitoral obriga candidatos a bloquearem o envio de mensagens para eleitores que expressarem o desejo de não recebê-las".
Alem de favorecer aqueles com mais poder econômico na campanha, que é uma distorção, eu duvido que a maioria das pessoas queiram receber SMS ou MMS de candidatos. o processo devera ser inverso, quem quer receber mensagem dos candidatos no celular, que corra atrás.
Isso sem falar de cada candidato poder ter mais de um site... alem de autorizar sites .com que SAEM DA JURISDIÇÃO BRASILEIRA. Já que existe toda uma tramitação legal no exterior para retirar sites do ar, já que a justiça no Brasil peca pelo excesso de celeridade, talvez seja hora de colocar um pé no freio, se não podem estragar a farra em Brasília.
Morrison Android Phone By Motorola
A recently-leaked live image is apparently showing the unannounced device in the wild.
Similar to what we’ve seen before, the Motorola Morrison is a touchscreen handset with a sliding QWERTY keyboard. It has a pretty nice design, and the keyboard layout is surely interesting.
Also interesting is the black-blue-white color combination that Motorola used:
It’s said that Motorola Morrison will be released by T-Mobile USA sometime in the fourth quarter of 2009 (probably not under this name). Until then, however, we should see several other Android handsets launched, with MyTouch 3G being the first.

Motorola K1 péssimo começo de relação
Porem tudo seria bom se não fosse um problema ainda maior, o aparelho que me foi entregue veio com um problema, o visor externo permanece ligado o tempo todo com baixa iluminação mostrando o relógio, e mesmo eu tendo tentado varias configurações, inclusive com o suporte da Motorola, o atendente concluiu que o aparelho realmente estava com defeito, o visor só apaga a iluminação se o cabo USB ou o carregador forem inseridos, fora isso a luz fica acessa o que diminui a vida da bateria.
Só para vocês terem uma idéia, carreguei ele ontem a noite e hoje pela manha sem fazer ou receber nenhuma ligação a bateria já estava em 60%, resumindo entrei em contato com o Submarino e solicitei a troca do aparelho, sera que deveria ter solicitado a devolução do meu dinheiro?. Como gostei do aparelho resolvi dar mais uma chance e pegar outro, agora é só esperar a transportadora passar para pegar o aparelho.
Meu que azar hein

Cell Phones for Arthritic Seniors
Shaw narrated that the elderly lady's daughter and brother-in-law signed her up for a cell phone plan, and bought her a cell phone. After exploring her new cell phone, the senior made an interesting comment. She said:
“Don’t the people who make these cellphones realize that these tiny keys are very difficult for older users with arthritic hands?”
Well, I made a post on large button cell phones for seniors last month. I gave some examples of handsets that would be ideal cell phones for arthritic seniors. These handsets have wide keypads with large buttons.
I pointed out that the Jitterbug, UTStarcom Coupe 8630, and Sanyo SCP 7050 are good choices for mobile phones for the elderly because of their special buttons and keypad. There is no doubt that these phones will be useful for a senior citizen suffering from arthritis.
There are cellphones for arthritic seniors in the market but they are few in number. With the exception of the Jitterbug J, no other large button cell phones for seniors have been released. This probably due to the fact that manufacturers are paying more attention to younger users.
That's it for this post on large button cell phones for seniors suffering from arthritis. Tune in to this blog for more news and updates on mobile phones for senor citizens.

The role of word-of-mouth in MFS adoption
Experience seems to indicate that word-of-mouth almost invariably plays the biggest role in ensuring a fast roll-out. The need to engender trust in a foreign product is best accomplished by what people you trust tell you. If it is possible to get clients to start convincing prospective clients to join this works best and this is the way that a revolution is started. Some MFS operators have attempted to stimulate Word-of-Mouth campaigns by actually paying clients for signing up new clients. It turns out that the only way that it is possible to achieve a true Word-of-Mouth campaign is by delivering a product that meet the needs of clients. Actually exceeds the needs of clients.
The need for financial services in poor communities
- They have the need to be able to receive remote payments electronically, without having to take a day out and to travel. Many people in poor communities need payments from families working in cities or elsewhere or use government grants as the means for subsistence. The act of receiving these payments are often expensive and complex.
- The ability to be able to save towards a target is not really available to poor people. Even if some-one cultivates the discipline, the actual mechanisms (putting cash in a bottle etc.) is not convenient or safe. Many people want to buy something big or are planning a major expense (e.g. sending their kids to university etc.). The only way that they can do this is by means of targeted savings.
- If something happens (like an accident or an unplanned expense for instance), poor people also need access to lending products.
- I do believe that poor people also need to be able to have a record of their financial transactions. This is important from a number of perspectives, but the most important is that such a transaction records will assist in financial education. It is (for instance) extremely difficult to produce and manage a budget, if no record of financial transactions exist.
Mobile payments' transaction costs
Below is a list of the different sources that will contribute to the ultimate cost of the solution. This is not comprehensive list and I would not like to put specific values to each as they tend to differ from one deployment to another, but I hope this will get the ball rolling, and stimulate further discussion:
- The first contribution is capital cost. It is impossible to offer these services without investing in systems, infrastructure and equipment. I have found that this is the cost element that is most vigorously attacked. Mobile payment operators are of the opinion that if they can cut this to the bone they will be able to deliver a cheap service. The contrary is true: spend on the installation and the rest of the cost will be lower.
- Registration costs are often bigger than expected. Preparation of registration material, the people required in support of the process and of course marketing cost all contribute to this. It may be a good idea to ensure that the subscriber pays for this.
- We have found that the biggest cost is often the cost of support. The cost of a call center, support center, people that reset errors and technical support. This is often under-estimated and sometimes escalate if the system selected is not meeting the need. This cost is a recurring cost and should be balanced with capital cost. If the right investment is made in the beginning, operational support will be much less.
- Cost elements that are often not catered for (or not properly understood), include the cost of compliance, the cost of fraud and theft, the cost of lost opportunities etc. Systems that does not work or allows loop-holes for fraudulent attacks etc. will ultimately be more expensive than others.
Different ways to integrate Card with Mobile
The first integration that one usually sees is the connection of a card to a mobile so that alerts can be sent to the phone when the card is used.
The biggest challenge, of course, is to ensure that a credit card payment can be accepted (or received) utilising a mobile phone. Many solutions have been deployed and today mobile phone subscribers utilise their phone to pay for goods and services using credit cards - in a similar way to using your credit card on the Internet. Some solution providers have utilised different ways of making these transactions more secure and more innovations will happen.
Another approach is to issue a new type of card that is tightly integrated with the cellphone. Some of the more famous examples are Smartmoney in the Philippines and also Mobile Money in South Africa. Many more examples exist, for instance a recent announcement of Romania's Raiffeisen Bank, with a dedicated card that can be used to send money via mobile phones. (See here).
I am actually more interested in other innovative ways that a card can be integrated to a phone: Like being able to disable the card and again enable it via the mobile phone. This feature was recently announced by Veritec (they called it MTC - Mobile Toggle Card) (Read more here). I think that these type of solutions are really innovative and adds a lot of value. So are the ability to change your card PIN on the phone and to be able to link a new card on the phone. These and more functionality are all available on the Fundamo platform out of the box.
Mobile Money Summit introduces a spirit of collaboration
This is a good sign and will lead to a massive growth in successful deployments and operations. By enabling the transactions generated by specific solutions to be made accessible to others the combined growth will benefit every-one. The Western Union announcements specifically is an indication of a willingness to collaborate and changes the dynamics of the different players. I would suggest that it is now important to look at mechanisms that will ensure more connections to as many players as possible.
Mobile Money Operators that do not inter-operate will become less relevant.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2
Slide-out QWERTY X2 is probably still a little cornered characterize X1. However, if the note further, the type of key used by Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 more similar with the computer keyboard. X2 superior features include 3.5 WVGA OLED display, GPS, accelerometer, 8.1 MP autofocus camera, VGA 30fps video recorder, the processor is faster than the X1, 512 RAM, the XPERIA panel has been modified to support remote play PS3, and the ability to upgrade to OS Windows Mobile 7. But, the specification of Sony Ericsson XPERIA X2 is still a rumor, so that the data likely will be different from the final version.
Efficient text input shortcuts on N800/N810
These "tricks" are scattered around the web, but I have not found a compact, to-the-point post with all the shortcuts that we can use on the on-screen (stylus) keyboard and with the hardware keyboard, so here it is:
N800/N810 on-screen stylus keyboard gestures
- Space: Tap and move right
- Enter: Tap and move down
- Backspace: Tap and move left (keep the stylus on the touchscreen and move to the right, then left again, etc.. for multiple backspace keypresses)
- Shift inversion: Tap the character you want shifted and move up (also works for the number block and its special characters)
N810 hardware keyboard shift+Fn alternatives
- Shift single character: Press shift, release shift, then press character
- Single "blue" character: Press Fn, release Fn, then press character
- Shift lock: Press Shift twice (press shift once to leave the shift lock mode)
- Fn lock/"Number mode": Press Fn twice (press Fn once to leave the Fn lock mode)
The Single "blue" character shortcut is helpful to enter special characters and numbers on the left side of the hardware keyboard with your left thumb only, as there is no Fn key on the right side of the keyboard.
Update: Timeless pointed out that these are well documented in the OS2008 "Help" application under "Text input methods" and then "Virtual keyboards" and "Integrated keyboard". The latter even includes another hint for entering accented letters and umlauts: Hold down Chr and press the letter key repeated until the desired accented letter appears. Even if you normally don't read the online manual, these two pages are worth reading.
