I’ve been using the UMTS phone for the last 1 week. Unfortunately the coverage for the service is quite sparse. Sparse is not even the wod to describe it. There are a few different vendors testing their equipment using the same MNC code here in KL, so in some areas you get a signal but can’t log on since all the networks are not connected together. As for me, my network is just in my office and along a major highway.

Just received a demo unit of the Motorola A935 UMTS mobile to play with. Its part of a trial network here in Kuala Lumpur. Still charging it and no time to use it yet, but first opinion of the mobile is… its quite flimsy at least physically. With all those new functions in UMTS networks, I expect the menus to be quite complex. Will have to wait till I get a few days with the phone first.

Saw the Nikon D70 in stores already today. Managed to play with it a while in the shop. Although its made of plastic it definitely still feels sturdy. Feels rather light also. In Malaysia they bundle it with a 18-70mm DX lens which I hear is one of the first lens made specifically for Digital SLRs.

Its selling out fast. About 5 of the SLR was delivered to the shop and only 1 was left when I was there. And they expect it to be gone by the time the weekend arrives because typically they get most of their businesses on weekends. The only thing keeping me back from buying it today is that I’ve not planned for this. Although its one of the cheapest Digital SLRs on the market today its still one expensive camera…

As part of a new webpage based on MT, I needed to have the first entry in every category to be displayed, but no built in code in MT could do it. So I posted something on the MovableType forum and the reply came up. It uses a plug-in and apparently plays around with the MySQL database.

I wont know if it works yet, need to work on it tonight and find out.

Caught the advertisement for the new Nikon D70 digital SLR camera in one of Malaysia’s newspaper today. Looks like the retail price is around RM3888 according to this newspaper scan…. its a little small here though…
