Built-in battery like 17-inch MacBook Pro, up to 7 hours of usage + 1,000 recharges. They added SD card slot which I strongly welcome and also added FW800 on 13-inch MacBook. I love it but they took out express card slot =\

Another Sprint horror story
Posted: June 8, 2009 Filed under: Gadgets, Life | Tags: Horrible, Palm, Palm Pre, Sprint, Sprint sucks, Terrible 1 Comment »It actually happened last saturday and I was way too busy over the weekend to post any… but I still want to spread my terrible experience from sprint to many as possible.
As some of you many know already, I ditched sprint in January after using it for 8 years due to their “non-sense” and “I don’t care about you customer” attitude. Why did I stopped by Sprint again? Simply due to Palm Pre
Palm Pre, I’ve been waiting the phone for past 3 years. maybe even longer since I can’t count how long it has been honestly… anyway, last saturday was lunching day of Palm Pre.
As a long waited fan boy of palm, I wanted to give it a shot even though I hate sprint. So I decided to stop by the store and soon it turned around as bad decision.
So I went to the small sprint store near my work, they actually locked the store with about 10 customers in it. I was wondering what the heck is going on and soon one of the guy told us they were understaffed. Are you serious??? You still can let customer in with a sign in sheet or so. Locking out the customers due to they can’t handle anyone?? Isn’t it illegal to lock customers in due to fire code??? I had to wait about 10 mins outside in cold (I think it was below 60).
So as soon as I walked in I asked the worker there if they have enough stock of pre so I can get one and the guy replied me back with YES we have enough in stock. So i waited another 45 mins in there and finally my turn came and guess what??? They told me it has been SOLD OUT!
I got annoyed by the fact one person telling me they had enough stocks and hearing from the other saying it’s sold out I was kinda complaing and telling them “Don’t you know exact how many your received and how many people wants the phone? A quick sign in sheet and out of stock notice up in the door and let everyone coming to the store know about sold out would saved many people behind me waiting and my time!!”
Their response? “Oh that’s an actully good idea.”
ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? How do you train your people Sprint???
No wonder you are losing couple hundred millions of subscribers annually.
Now I’m debating if I should still get one and have fun or just forget and wait another 6 months or so till AT&T lunches one.
Review: UP 3D

Yes, I finally watched it. Actually in 3D. All the memories of 3D shows I have isn’t that good. I remember last time I watched something in 3D was 1994?? maybe even before that. I was little iffy about wearing those 3D glasses since I do not like to wear any glasses period. Also due to the 3D, some parts were blurry and made me tired here and there but I can’t really compare with non-3D version.. maybe once DVD rolls out i’ll check it and re-post comparison.
The movie was actually great. Somewhat romantic in it’s own way and hilarious in many parts of scenes. Story line was good plus I really loved the ending credits. Very clever and enjoyable haha. No wonder why so many people say “Up 3D” is the best summer movie so far, of course once transformer rolls out we’ll see.
I think this is not really a kid’s movie though. More of a family movie and even adults can sit, relax, and enjoy the movie.
My rating? 4.5/5
