Lumix DMC-FX150 review

  • comes in 3 colors: black, gold and silver
  • RAW format support
  • face detection
  • great built quality. I expect nothing less from Panasonic
  • costs $399
  • available next month

In future, they should bundle a 48 or 64GB SSD to store those BIG and I mean BIG pictures. But, is not the Mega-pixel war getting TOO MUCH?

  • Their mid range phones have not sold too well.
  • Their high-end phones are poor to what the market is currently offering.
  • Clearly, a lack of innovation.
  • They completely lack WOW-factor phones like iPhone, Nokia N95 and Nokia E90
  • Sony Ericsson X1is still to be launched.

Make your HTC Touch DIAMOND Quad-Band

Impossible has been done again by the folks at XDA-devs. They have been able to add/activate 850mhz band to the HTC Touch Diamond. All you need to get the Quad Band radio available there.

Please note that the faint-hearted should not do this. If anything goes wrong, you may be left with a bricked diamond.

..and I apologize not to mentioning the URL of ROM as it is against our website’s policies. But, hey it is easy :!:
