yes, I did it. I could not hold it any longer. This is great so far.
I love how it recharges the phone pretty well, speaker phone works great, navigation seems working better than my Garmin nuvi 255wt.
here are improvements I want google to work on it
- When the navigation destination is not set, default map viewer is google map, which isn’t as nice as navigation view.
- Voice search searches internet before contacts on my address book
- Every screen doesn’t change its orientations
- Does not have way to tell me how many miles i have left for my trip. It only tells me how many minutes i have left. =(
- wish it has speed limit display
Android 2.2 supposed to come out shortly, I don’t know how many of this google has thought about it and planning to change it. What can I do other than just wait and see?

This is Porsche 918 Spyder Concept just announced at Geneve Motor Show.
The hottest hybrid concept I’ve ever seen!
horsepower: 718 hp (500 hp from V8 and 218 hp from a pair of electric motors (one for each axle))
0-62 mph in 3.7 seconds
192 mph top speed
More than anything, Porsche claims 918 can get up to 78 mpg!!!
This is how hybrid should be done!!!

Traffic Ticket.

I wanted to take I80/I94 but ended up taking I90 skyline due to some guy pushed me off to the right lane to avoid an accident. Did I mention that I was tired?? Yes, it all started from there. I was in the mode of driving, not caring my surroundings, and of course neither speed limit… I got pulled over going 25 over the speed limit and got a ticket from Indiana state trooper. yadi yadi yada, the officer wrote me a ticket. It was the first one for my past 3 years and I forgot how much it will cost.
Today I received a letter from the court in Indiana, my fine came out to be creazy $225… plus with online transection fee everything came out to be $235!!
Gosh what a way to waste money..
I better drive slower and cruise 10 over the limit.
The first oil change.

She was at 5,280 miles and at 15% oil life.
I’m debating when I should transmission fluid and go synthetic next time. What should I do?
