I realized that my Nexus One uses a lot of data. Although I do have a data plan, but sadly, it’s not unlimited, I only have the 500mb data plan and unlimited data plan is rather expensive for Maxis.I turned of Gmail syncing and now it only auto sync Calendar and Contact.
I need to test use for another month to see whether 500mb is enough for me or not. The only thing I must not do to make sure that I won’t use a lot of data is Youtube, as you know Youtube sucks a lot of data.
Unlike my old Nokia N95, there’s no data counter on the Android. But after some searching in the Market, I found an application that can shows how much data you have used and auto resets every month. It’s called NetSentry, better than NetCounter IMO.
I set 500MB data limit, so I assume there will be a notification when reaching the limit. Hopefully, 500MB is enough for me or Maxis must revise their data plan rate.

Although iPhone has support from major game developer, Android also not bad too! Just found out this video that shows you that Android has many good games too. =)
Now many people keep on talking about the Google Nexus One and the iPhone 3GS is still always a hit. Nokia N900 was once very anticipated and now getting quiet already, seldom hear people talk about it or read about it.
Though, it’s not out yet, only that it keeps quiet and turned on silent mode, it still vibrates. Some hacker installed Android OS on the Nokia N900 and it dual boot Maemo and Android too! A little bit cool, but I prefer running just one OS. The most important of all still is SPEED!
What this tell us is not running Android on N900, it is telling us that Maemo on N900 is open source, and it is possible to run other OS.
I love Google Maps both on my PC and the mobile! I plan my trips with it and when I get lost on the road, it helps me a lot. Although it lack voice navigation on my Nokia N95 8GB, the “get direction” do helps too.
I also use it to favourite an eating place when I visit, then later use as reference for my food blog. With the latest version 3.3.1, I can sync my favourited/starred location to my Google Maps account online.
Previously, I can’t do that. Frankly, I kinda out-date because I only update my Google Maps now, but I believe some still stuck with old Google Maps on their phone, so faster update yours now!
By the way, if you are using Android, you get extra navigation feature and don’t forget, this is data-based, so you need a data plan for it. =)
Do you have anti virus software installed in your computer? I am using AVG Free Edition, and it’s free, I don’t pay for anti virus because it’s not easy to get virus into your computer if you know what you are doing with the Internet, the site you surf and your firewall security.
After all the convincing and the attractions, I am still not into buying a anti virus copy yet.
There’s 2 more popular anti virus out there, one is Karpersky which has Jackie Chan as their ambassador and you can always listen to the radio commercial on our local radio station and another is Avira with no famous super ambassador but they got have Show Girl.
They call them the Show Girl, that’s what I was being told and this is Penang, a small island and we only have 3 show girls, that sucks. We need more. Penang has demand!
PC Fair Penang is not like Tokyo Game Show where there’s a lot of booth babe, it’s so so different here.
Since Kaspersky has got no show girl, booth babe and only have a fake Jackie Chan poster on it, my (handsome) friends here helped them for promotion.
Kaspersky and Avira, which will you pick? I am serious.
