Deep’s “not so evil” lair

Another diving humpback

Here are some of our pictures from our whale trip last month. I also took some videos that I plan to upload to youtube or google video sometime soon. Needless to say, we thoroughly enjoyed the trip! My first time looking at any kind of baleen whales. We saw about 12 to 15 humpback whales, 2 finback whales, 2 Minke whales and even a 30 foot basking shark!

Now that I have been using my new T-mobile SDA for a while, I have been pretty pleased with it on occasions. It is a decent phone with a plethora of features. Lots of software available for download. Good predictive text features. It is a decent phone with a plethora of features. Lots of software available for download. Good predictive text features.
It does serve my basic needs of a phone that can check email and browse the web for some quick stuff. It has already come in handy a couple of times.

• I was able to check my email on my way to work when I was running late and was able to call the sender back with answers to his queries. He would have had to wait for me to come in if I did not have the phone
• Benita has been able to chat with my parents online while we were driving to our whale trip near Boston.
• I usually take pictures and forget to email them to other people, having a phone handy helps. I took a picture of my friend Nishant at Times Square and emailed it to him from Times Square! How cool!
• It helped Benita and me get driving directions when we were lost in Queens trying to get to the US Open.
• I have been able to watch the BBC news, check my gmail account, read engadget while waiting in line for tickets at the US Open.

Now the bad:

• Windows mobile sucks sucks sucks!!!
  • I have had to deal with multiple hangs and reboots/resets.
  • The only way to close out apps is via the task manager.
  • The phone went into “hang mode” one night and my alarm never rang!
• Camera quality sucks but I did not buy this phone for it’s picture taking abilities. But a better camera would have been kinda cool.

All in all it is a decent phone with many features. It is not a PDA-phone but definitely a phone with some PDA features which seems to suffice my needs for the time being.

hoping to catch some action
