Testing wordpress app for blackberry

This post is directed to my sister who recently brought a Iphone 4.
” Ha ha……you cannot use the phone you want to ” – Nelson Muntz
Give the hatred i have for the biggest con man of the century, Steve jobs, My sister , my own blood, went ahead and brought herself an Iphone 4g with out even my consultation.
And now she will be paying for it….very very dearly.With the legendary poor service of AT&T in America, and the fluctuating signals and the grip of death
Now before we proceed I think it is essential that you see this clip from “Futurama” season 6 titled “The killer App”
Coming back to the grip of death, this is what Steve Jobs had to say initially about it
Steve Jobs wrote back to one Engadget reader with a terse one-line response: “Just don’t hold it that way.”
And this is what Nokia said indirectly poking fun on the Iphone.
The Cup
The Thumb
The balance
4 edge grip
You can hold nokia phone in any direction with out effecting the reception and call quality
I mean really Steve? really, You are going to tell people on how to hold a cellphone instead of fixing the glitch.
Then came a series of so called “fixes”.
You need to buy a rubber bar for your iphone if you want proper reception
This is the iphone 4 g bumper that you need to BUY in order to make it work.
Now a few days later Apple guys came to an conclusion and announced that the glitch was in the phone s/w which calculated the bars to be wrong
Upon investigation, we were stunned to find that the formula we use to calculate how many bars of signal strength to display is totally wrong. Our formula, in many instances, mistakenly displays 2 more bars than it should for a given signal strength. For example, we sometimes display 4 bars when we should be displaying as few as 2 bars. Users observing a drop of several bars when they grip their iPhone in a certain way are most likely in an area with very weak signal strength, but they don’t know it because we are erroneously displaying 4 or 5 bars. Their big drop in bars is because their high bars were never real in the first place.
Now I am wondering what good is a cellphone which cannot make calls?
Its just a Ipod touch, is it not.?
Anyway now after that email from Steve jobs there was one more rumour that Apple already knew about the glitch and wanted to ent up the sales of the its iphone covers
Interestingly, a user on our sister forums who took back his phone to complain about this problem was given a free £25 ‘bumper’ case – perhaps adding fuel to the rumor that Apple was fully aware of this issue before launch…
This is just wonderful.
It keeps getting better and better by every single passing day.
I knew some thing was wrong when the iphone 4 demonstration went wrong at the keynote
Do watch.
I love the part when one of the guys says use Verizon !!!
A shorter version of the same
Steve sells you a iphone
Steve tells you how to hold a iphone
Steve tells you how to dress your iphone
Steve tells you who to call from your iphone
Steve tells you what to wear when you use an iphone
Steve tells you how to live with your iphone.
Ahh Steve..you never cease to surprise me.
New features of the Iphone 4
Video calling
My motorazer v 6 ferrari edition had video calling….. I brought it 2 years ago. I used it once as i thought it was redundant but i was very happy with the performance
Video calling, notice two cameras
Multi Tasking
I mean really, I never knew that the iphone did not have multi tasking until now….none of the iphones had multi tasking?
My Motorazer had multi tasking, my nokia N79 had multi tasking, My Blackberry ( my precious ) has multi tasking
No wonder the greatest con man on earth is Steve Jobs….
All his fan boys are like Zombies, o better put by this guy “like democrats”
Also to add that there is one more thing common between Apple fan boys and Aamir Khan fan boys…they will just buy any thing their leader has to offer…even Poop
So in short… to my sister…may the iphone 4g bring a little superficial and pseudo happiness in your life.
This is what happens when you deceive your own blood.
The deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers and mutineers
Given my legendry hatered for Apple products and chinese fake copies… I really want this.
The chinese version of Ipad. The Iped
This one is actually good as it has a Android 2.0 OS blue tooth and is carrier independent and wifi enabled. So instead of spending a bungle of money on a Ipad which you know will be soon outdates as steve will come out with a Ipad 3GS you get yourself a Chinese iped

Well sure the chinese version is a little bit behind in the specs, but its a hell lot cheaper than the Apple version and if you upgrade your android version to 2.1 it will give you a processing at par with the Apple ipad.
Where can you buy your self an Iped???
The same place you can buy a Space suit.
Ebay
Continued from Blackberry my precious
Finding a carrier for blackberry in Australia.
The main functions of a blackberry are the unlimited free email service and the internet browsing experience.
Now both of these are dependent on carrier and the plan you are in.
After a lot of beating around the bush in Australia, I found out that there is a plan on three which allows business people who come into Australia for short periods of time to take a postpaid blackberry plan with all the goodies included. Sorry no prepaid here
- Free unlimited blackberry email
- Free unlimited blackberry internet
- and $350 worth of calling
this cap is called the business cap
http://www.three.com.au/pricing?mod=MobilePlans&planType=New%20Caps&planName=$35%20Cap
Click here and check the “sim only” plan with $35 plan.
You get free unlimited blackberry internet along with $350 of calling value. Its as good as it gets I guess.
Blackberry and an Iphone
Many people tell me that an Apple Ipod is way way better than a Blackberry.
How can you even compare them….Blackberry is for business people who have to be email all the time and replying to emails.
The Blackberry physical keyboard is the best there is …typing on it is like typing on a real keyboard and the Pushmail service makes it being on a messenger.
Now iphone is nothing like that.
Of course you have a Pushmail service in Iphone, they are a paid service they cost some where from $150 a year
http://www.apple.com/mobileme/pricing/
and they are not that good. At that price you can buy a new apple hardware product every 3rd year.
There is one thing that i will give to apple which is the app store. it has million and billions of apps.
Though Blackberry does not have so many apps in its store but you will find an app for pretty much anything you want.
And did you know that anything before iphone 4 does not have multi tasking ( no music and web browsing at the same time)…I mean what the hell, my 4 year old Moto razer had multi tasking!!!! it also had video calling,,,I ve never used video calling in it though…it is a redundant feature…. would you not use Google talk to video call for free rather than use an expensive video call.
Google for Blackberry
You will find google has a host of apps which you will love
http://www.google.com/mobile/blackberry/
There is a Twitter app, Facebook app and a Foursquare app.
If you get a Blackberry I am pretty sure you will love it.
But do keep in mind that a Blackberry is meant to be used in a 3G environment and not a GPRS environment.
My precious
Well this is what I have been after I have laid my hand on my Blackberry Bold 9000.
My sister brought this when she was in India, her plans changed and she moved back from where she came ( No not hell ). As she had brought this Blackberry back in India it was locked to Airtel.The blackberry did not work for her in America.
My Nokia n79 had a problem with the motherboard and the wiring went poof. But I must say that in spite my prejudice for it , it had performed pretty well, The push mail service was okay, there were a few apps in the app store and the OVI suite is apparently the best in its class. I can send a SMS from my computer by plugging in the cellphone. How neat is that.? Well it was a bit slow but well you cannot expect to get every thing right int he first go do you ?
Now coming back to the Blackberry Bold.
The first thing you realize when you first lay your hands on this baby is that it is fucking bold.
The display is relay really bright… and hence the name Bold. This one is a keeper. You can use it under the 12 pm sun with out a hitch.
They have squeezed twice the number of pixels that are required on the same amount of screen and hence the powerful display.
Unlocking the Blackberry from Airtel
Well all blackberries in India are locked to the respective carriers.
I do not exactly know why but they have some kind of a security issue with it.It is easier to track down your BB if some one steals it.
This is how you go about it
You will need to write them (Airtel) an email telling them that you cannot use the Blackberry with them as your dog died or grandma is sick, it doe not really matter. A cellphone carrier in India cannot keep a cellphone locked to himself, Its against the rules refer TRAI guidelines.
I, for example gave this

My precious…
Blackberry is like a drug..you get addicted to it.And I am not kidding. the people at crack berry will tell you better.
The ability to read e-mail that is received in real time, anywhere, has made the BlackBerry devices infamously addictive, earning them the nickname “CrackBerry“, a reference to the freebase form of cocaine known as crack, which is also highly addictive
And really it is.
There is chat program called the Blackberry Messenger, This little tool lets you communicate to anyone in the world if he/she has a Blackberry cellphone, for free! How handy is that!!
You really need to use this to experience the addiction.
Anyone who owns a Blackberry will never move to any other phone. He just cannot. Every other phone will feel mundane to him.
Will he move to an Iphone?
You got to be kidding me!
No way.
And O there is an App Store too.
My love my heart, My preccccccious!!!!
Due to all this above reasons, I am calling it Precious….My precious!
