Ended up buying it and try to see if I can integrate it with Google contacts, voice and maps. I am also trying to buy a data only plan to play with it.
I’d appreciate any inputs you might have on the above topics.
BTW, when you bought stuff from dell.com(small business), did Dell charge you a tax when you bought your N900 there online? I was surprised they did charge tax this time… They did not do this before ( a friend of mine confirmed this but he bought studd from Dell about a year ago; Dell.com used to have legal issues regarding taxes collection for online orders), neither does Amazon.com.
Sent an email to Dell, they automate the response saying they collect taxes for all states. In receipt it was noted as IVR??? What’s that?
By the way, talking about the shopping experience online with dell.com. Surprisedly they only give you one chance to view the receipt, once you passed that page, you have nowhere to find a complete receipt! It took minutes, not seconds, for online order to show up in order history. You HAVE TO add your email again to ask them to notify you if they start shipping your phone.(I was a registered user with email address as log in. Did you hear me, Dell.com?)
They did not automatically sent you an email right after the order. I have to manually input my email address to send the order confirmation page to my email address.
All in all, I like Amazon way better. I bought lots of stuff from Amazon.com and took for granted that I can always get my complete receipt any time, and that I should get a confirmation email the minute I placed the order. But all those do not happen at dell.com.
Just a surprise to me as dell.com only deal with online orders. They have to do something to keep up with other e-commerce web sites.
Ipod touch: jailbreak’ed!
Finally tonight I got iPod touch jailbreaked!
You have to have redra0n and 3.1.2 firmware ready for iphone os 3.1.3. I know this is tricky as per iPhone dev team this is a loophole.
You’d be careful every upgrade past 3.1.2 from apple could wiie out your jailbreak data!

Proof of a big girl
Yesterday during dinner time, mm did not cry even without sitting by mom; this is a Big improvement.
Mm also had soup with her rice; she used to have rice without soup. This the first time in recent time. Or is this because the tomato/egg soup mom prepared too good to resist?
We did not tellmm until she finishes dinner. Yy know what I meant but kept the secret till mmfinishrs her dinner.
Ipad
Got one yesterday on it’s first day release. This is a bigger iPod touch, – I am not joking, it ya exactly bigger iPod touch, no built-in mic or web cam what so ever. By the Way, if you need mic for voice memo or voip calls, buy an apple earphone with remote and mic. It is available in applestore or online And costs about thirty bucks. I tried one in apple store in a mall yesterday.Being the first release of ipad, it’s so crowded over there, so I can not tell if the recotding quality is up to par. But it did record the sound.
Some apps are only avialble for ipad.
Today
