Samsung Galaxy S II – Reliable, Fast & Stylish
Sep 24th
This is just a sequel to my previous post The Galaxies.
Well, Jun guessed it right that I am gonna go with Samsung Galaxy S II. If Samsung ever gonna come up with Samsung Galaxy S III, with better specs of course I will get it without doubt.
Many friends have raised their doubts towards the brand particularly of Samsung, well not I. A little bit the hard sell, but I’ve been a proud user of Samsung for more than 5 years.
But, let me just share the things I like about this phone that sums the Reliable, Fast & Stylish.
1) Android – Google & Open Source
I can go on and on about how Android could be your better option. These are the applications that I used mostly.
I use Polaris Office pretty much on the go basis for work.
I use TweetDeck to keep my sanity at below danger level while I spy at other people’s daily life.
I’ve got plenty of Google Email account and my contacts are all sync with Google.
QuickPic as I camwhore and snap throughout the day.
2) Powerful Processor!
This monster is a Dual-Core 1.2Ghz running on Android version 2.3 Gingerbread. The phone’s performance is just magnificent. I can’t complaint much except the battery drains like crazy that I have to charge my phone twice a day.
3) Business Tools – Polaris Office!
This application, Polaris Office comes with the phone. This is just another great tool to help in my business. I can read, create and edit document just as I can on PC. Not many devices carry this application as it is an OEM application. Hence, Samsung Galaxy S II is just great for business people like I am. 
4) Kies Air!
This is just another great tool by Samsung which allows me to move files to my PC easily, as compared to the previously chunky Samsung Kies which is just plain pain but great improvement here! I need to get things done fast, snap picture and post just like how I am doing now!
5) Camera & Video
Excellent quality of pictures and video that is satisfactory to me. This is a picture of the ancient city walls and entrance gateway to Toledo city in Spain.
Check out also the video I took at night when I was in Madrid.
There you go! I’ve state my claim on why I like my Samsung Galaxy S II.
Many more great products at Samsung U-nivez for Ur liking to suit Ur style.
If you are a Samsung Galaxy S II user or you are a fan, why not share your affections here at Love Galaxy S II.
This microsite is all about fun fun fun…
Maybe I should do a video about it. What do you think?

For those living in a nutshell, RSS is Really Simple Sindication. Okay, geddit? Now, let me continue with that I wanna talk about.

Step 3 – A pop up box will appear and you can key in your desired category/group name and then click “Add”.
Step 4 – Just wait for a moment or you just need to logout and login again to see the updated RSS feeds that you just entered.
To input any info on News category, just search for RSS News that interest you. In the example, the feeds gather from The star newspaper.
Just go to the The Star Url – http://thestar.com.my
Scroll further down till the end of the webpage and you will see image as below:
The RSS icon placed on the right side and click on it – 
You may input or place any RSS in iTalk Whoa! for any website that have the RSS icon that looks like this >
Oh, do you know that you can get RSS Feeds from:

Shown above the link for RSS Feeds in The Star newspaper. Thus you can just choose any topic that interests you the most. In this example, Sport under News been selected.
Just right click on the RSS icon besides the Sport News and select ‘Copy Link Location’.
Go back to your iTalk Whoa’s account and highlight the News icon, input ‘Sport’ under ‘Feed Description’ and paste the url copied previously.
The Sport RSS url will appear and click ‘Add New’ button and the Sport RSS will appear in the Feed Name Box as below:
To view all the RSS Feeds for sport, just click on Sport under News at the Mail Panel:
All the Sport highlights will be display in split second and you can just click on any link to read/view the full story of the day.
Notes:
Sometimes, the link create does not appear immediately. Thus user need to wait for a few minutes before the link to appear. Or user may logout and login again into iTalk Whoa! to view the link.
Okay, you read it all here at YapThomas.Com
Don’t worry Ma! My Celcom can roam at very low rates!
Nov 11th
My mom ah, always wants me to call her whenever I go on any trips. Well, all moms are like that lah hor? They never cease to be worried.
I used to carry two lines (wait, I still does) and one is personal and the other is business. When I travel, I always switch my personal line and set it to divert to my business line which is active throughout (*cough*company pay ma*cough*). I am still keeping both numbers anyways as they both have similar last four (4) digits.
Oh! Separate news! I have BB Torch to play with for a few weeks…
Anyways… I am not too sure if you have heard of this company name Axiata? If you haven’t, you better kick yourself now! Hello! It is a Malaysian owned company! For the past one year, Axiata has rebranded itself as they are expanding over the South East and West Asia region.
They are currently operating in Malaysia (Celcom), Sri Lanka (Dialog), Indonesia (XL), Bangladesh (Robi) and Cambodia (hello) while having strategic stakes in India, Singapore, Iran, Thailand and Pakistan. Not bad huh?
What this tells me? I can now travel with ease of mind not thinking of what telco company to use as Axiata is all over the place man…!! Already in Malaysia, Celcom has a very wide coverage, they also sapu the region pulak now! Keng!
I was actually looking at Celcom website because I wanna grab a Blackberry service package so I can BBM with people around me mah, then mana tau, saw this banner running across their main page.
Whoa! Not bad! I am planning to go Indonesia this year end and Cambodia next year January. Seems like Celcom is already giving my Christmas and Birthday (Hint! Hint!) present already now.
The rates are quite attractive also lah! From RM 0.30 cents per minute I can call back and it’s quite cheap what! Compared to the usual which I am usually charged of RM 10-15 (when I was in Indonesia previously).
What’s more interesting is that I can Tweet while I’m traveling so, to make you jealous! RM 38/day for UNLIMITED data plan! OMG! *jumps with joy* Click HERE for more info!
At least, when I am traveling so many people can keep in touch with me.
The rates are from now till 28th February 2011. Okay lah, a lot of people are traveling during that period of time. Not bad huh! Celcom better give me some rebate for using their service so much!
Oh! Not only us Malaysians should be in joy, but our fellow neighbours from Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Cambodia and Bangladesh who is using their respective country’s telco line can enjoy the same rate as well when roaming here in Malaysia.
Axiata! I will support you all the way lah! Please expand to Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Australia and Macau! I am planning to travel there also lah…
please PLease PLEEASSSEEEE…
I promise I will pay my Celcom bill on time next time okay?
