The good thing about moonlighting as a tech writer is that a) I get to earn extra income b) I get to play with toys that I normally wouldn’t have the moolah to purchase. It makes me very happy in orgasmic techland, of course, but it creates a problem as well.
You see, I am running out of power sockets in my room.
Currently, I have the Canon Digital IXUS 900Ti, the Samsung Z400, the Sony Ericsson Z610i, the Apple 12-inch Powerbook and the LG810 in my possession. Add that on to my own Sony Ericsson K700i and my trusty Panasonic FZ10 and you can see why I have an overcrowding problem.
Plus, I am likely to obtain a Samsung Ultra phone in the coming weeks in exchange for blogging about it. Mmmmm.
Anyway, here is my take on the newly-reviewed gadgets in a nutshell:
Canon IXUS 900Ti - a very solid 10-megapixel camera that produces quality images. Its sleek looks don’t hurt either though I suspect its high price will.
Sony Ericsson Z610i - The external LCD is truly a work of art though its interior leaves less to be desired. The plastic feeling is not too great and its hefty bulk doesn’t help either. But as a 3G phone, it is probably the best looking in the market right now. Currently, I think the SE user interface is probably the best and easiest to use.
Samsung Z400 - Nice, decent 3G phone although it’s just too bland and boring to really make an impact. But nice features and good performance.
LG810 - Do not buy it under any circumstance. The user interface of the LG phone is not intuitive and during my review, the phone could not recognise the headset. It’s quite a joke given that the phone is touted as a MP3 player.
