I got this phone 2 weeks already, it is a great phone as I have upgraded from a pretty lousy phone that I have used for almost 2 years. With the high expectation of getting a phone which could keep up with my online updates, I quickly install some great applications, but come to know that most of the resource hungry application or resource hungry websites actually make my new Nokia E72 restart. This happens without fail, so there is no chance at all for me to log into Nimbuzz, or even Meebo url will cause it to restart. Not to mention website like Facebook (non mobile) will do the same. I can’t tell you how many times my phone restarted….

Overall, I think that the qwerty keyboard and touch scrolling feature is simply great. Makes it look and feel like a blackberry. For a RM1,550, you are getting WiFi, qwerty keyboard, 3G with HSDPA connection speed, GPS (Garmin if you have the map), 5.2mp camera + second camera for 3G, and the mail application is such a great deal.

But the constant restarting of the phone is getting into my nerf, while I tried my friend E71 and they had no such problem. They are discussion about this E72 restarting issue at Nokia forum too.

Looking forward for firmware upgrade, which I heard European version is out, hopefully they fix this problem, or I am getting myself to the Nokia Service Center to bug them for a fix.

It seems that we will be seeing twitter search result when we do a search on Google. Although I would admit that I do not actually search for anything in Twitter before, and including them in Google seems to clutter up the information for me. Also, the twitter search result will update from time to time to get the latest updates.

Yea, I am also taking a look at the latest iPad! Would like to see and feel an actual unit. I believe it is a nice unit to do some reading.

Yes, I am back with Exabytes Hosting. A few months ago I ended my hosting with Exabytes because I am getting quite frequent downtime with Exabytes, then I was offered a free hosting by Exabytes just a week ago. They had given me this hosting for free, to prove that their move to AIMS datacenter will improve their server uptime, previously their servers with TM Net. I did not need any extra hosting but since they are free (I already had 2), I think that it is great to give them a try.

I have transfered one of my website back to Exabytes, it is at Mart.com.my. Although Serverfreak uptime has been great so far, I still miss the Exabytes load speed for Malaysian and it is still the same with AIMS datacenter.

Submit a ticket for SSH in order for me to transfer my domain quickly, and within 2 minutes it is activated. It was pretty much the same as previously.

I am currently exploring the use of email marketing as I know that there are a lot of people in the affiliate marketing uses this. I do not intend to use them for affiliate marketing purpose, but just to keep my members updated, so it may be a monthly thing going on. I tend to keep away from email marketing all this while because I kept the perception of it as spam, but then I notice that some online community are sending monthly newsletter which I am keen to get updated. So will give this a try.

First I will need a good software that supports HTML, if you have any software in mind free/paid is fine, as long the price is decent and I can do a trial before purchasing. Currently I am giving these two software a try for free:-

• MailList Controller Free 7.2
• Sendblaster – Limitation but it is withing my needs

If you have any experience in this field, feel free to drop me a comments as I will need help in this as much as possible. I do not want to do this wrong the first time.

I had always like to make classifieds website as my very first website that makes me some money is my malaysia classifieds (http://www.Syiok.com). At the same time, I also like wordpress a lot because of its user friendliness, great seo, its free themes (also paid theme is just great), plugins, and tones of reason I like wordpress. Having a Classifieds Theme / Plugin for Wordpress is simply superb.

Classipress had made a great classifieds out of Wordpress. I still maintain the permalink, which will be great for seo purpose. Wordpress trackbacks, Update Services for sites like Technorati, user friendliness and other plugins could be added on top of this.

Check out my new classifieds site, Geekyfieds. that is dedicated to trading gadgets, games, console, trading cards and toys. It is targeted towards a specific group. At the front, I just change the logo, and everything else is original.
