BlackBerry Malaysia Country Director, Mr. Annamalai Muthu is really good in answering media's question. Someone asked when will Instagram comes to BlackBerry and of course Mr. Annamalai said that the tech team are working on the application and please be patience with them.
 |
| Lucky draw for media friends to be the first few in Malaysia to own Blackberry Q5 |
 |
| Jackie from Dygadget was one of the lucky winner. Congratz! |
 |
| BlackBerry Q5 will be available in Pure Red, Black and Pure White color Unfortunately no pink for Malaysia. |
 |
| My favourite color for BlackBerry Q5 is white color =) It just look sleek and clean |
 |
| Internet browsing speed comparison between BlackBerry Q5 and HTC One |
My blogger buddies did a comparison between BlackBerry Q5 and HTC One on their internet browsing speed and found out that BB Q5 has way faster browsing speed than any the other smartphone. Well, as you can see the BB Q5 on the left has almost load finish a website while HTC One still has things to finish.
Will this convince you to upgrade/buy BlackBerry Q5 to be your new awesome gadget?
Who should buy the new BlackBerry Q5?
Well, to be honest, I used to be a BB Bold user and it was really helpful in getting my work done especially their fast email system and the amazing QWERTY keypads. I was comfortable with it until Instagram, the photo apps brought me to an Android phone and I never go back since then. If you are a person into photography and like to share them on your social network, BlackBerry Q5 is not for you then. BlackBerry Q5 has a different camera focusing system and trust me you gotta learn how to use the user interface when you get it =) It is basically the same thing, just like when Apple user who trying out Android phone find it hard to operate their function and features. Ever since the existance of Whatsapp and other chat/video app, I believe BBM has slowly losing its magic and attractiveness.
Who should get the new BlackBerry Q5? A person who is looking for a simple working phone that includes basic social media tools (it has Facebook, Twitter but no Instagram yet) and like to type swiftly with the QWERTY keypads should get this phone as your working phone. BlackBerry Q5 is more affordable too (RM1,299) if compared to other premium smartphones. Another thing that's pro for BlackBerry phone is their fast speed web-browser. We've compared the browsing speed ebtween BB Q5 and HTC One and the browsing speed for BB Q5 is amazingly fast!

My New Cam Nikon D800 First Time-lapse Video. Why not D600?
By TianChad田七 - November 08, 2012
 |
| Nikon D800 with my always cheerful Kido Daruma |
Early in October 2012, I went to YL Camera @ Jaya 33 after knowing that the brand new Nikon D600 is available there. Before I reach there, Alvin (from YL Camera) message me that there is a second-hand Nikon D800 available and is in very good condition =) That made me wonder at first as I need to do a quick decision.
 |
| Nikon D600 vs D800 |
I've read several DSLR camera reviews on the internet and the article that helped me made my decision would be from NPhotoMag.com. It made me easier to decide which DSLR to go for in just one day.
D600 is a more affordable full-frame DSLR when compared with D800. D600's weight is lighter too; However what makes me go for D800 is because of its 1/8000sec shutter speed, 1/250sec flash sync speed. These are the main reasons why I go for D800 as I don't mind carry a heavier camera that can help me produce a better image quality photos with more flexibility.
I've been using D800 for quite some time and gotta say it is a good choice when you know you can capture more with it's better sensor in full-frame format. That makes my life easier when I need to take camwhore picture (including 50mm f1.8 yo) with friends especially when I couldn't find a kind soul to be the good photographer.
PS: Most of the time people are afraid of being the photographer using huge DSLR. So the best thing to do is do all the correct setting before ask them to press the correct button. It is funny when some are waiting for live-view instead of peeping through the hole haha.
 |
| Nikon D800 put to use to capture time-lapse photos/video PS: Make sure it is stable on the window or else... |
With Nikon D800 I don't need a time-lapse remote to do this kind of photography. Always want to do star trail photography but let's try with something simple. Sunset/sunrise will be a good start right? Check out my first time-lapse video and see how the weather changed from sunny day to rainy night.
Sunny day turn into rainy and stormy night, and with flood?
So from now on you will see more photos snapped using my new Nikon D800. If you've noticed the black corner/vignette thing on my photos, it is because I am still using a DX lens and doing 1.2x image crop instead of the DX crop. Currently looking for a new/good condition Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8G ED. If you think you have new one/ in good condition do email/PM me your best price. Serious buyer here =D
Stay tuned and feel free to check out my photos @ Sky Arts Production! Always want to snap better photos that can tell better stories too. Cheers!

| The lucky media member who won himself a brand new Google Nexus 7. Congratz! Finger crossed for their slogan contest and hope I can win! |
Anyhow, still manage to catch up with some of the media friends there. RM999 is the official price that you can get in Malaysia. When I was in London for Olympic Games, there was one blogger who already bought the Google Nexus 7 in UK. I guess the main selling point of Google Nexus 7 is the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS that allows you to enjoy new features. Of course, including their built-in parts that combined together to form a high performance 7" tablet.
Now please imagine you need to depends on the wireless connection around you to connect to the internet in Malaysia... For now, yeah you can use tethering or WIFi direct to connect your Google Nexus 7 to the internet. However, I believe it would be great if we can insert our Micro SIM or even Nano SIM Card (Maxis is implementing it soon) into Google Nexus 7 so that it is available for making calls and surf the net anywhere anytime. This will makes Google Nexus 7 makes even more wonders!
 |
| Would you get your Google Nexus 7 from Malaysia? Wanna get your USD 25 Google Play money? |
The current main downside about Google Nexus 7 in Malaysia is the unavailability of music, movies and books for Malaysians on Google Play. It will need some time for it to be available throughout the world. Considering the price, is it okay for you to own a gadget without extra SD card slot, without HDMI port, without rear-facing camera and WiFi only?
So yeah, with the price of RM 999 offered to everyone who resides in Malaysia. Would you prefer to get your Google Nexus 7 locally or through other country? What's the main reason you wanna one this cool gadget co-created by ASUS and Google? Leave a comment below!

When compared with the live demo during the launching of Samsung GALAXY S3. This time the demo was done better with more fluent animation on the huge screen and with CCTV-like-camera live showing the demo. Multiscreen features and Pop Up Play function was showcased during the Note 10.1 launch. One thing I wanna comment is there was too much tendency of the speaker looking at the screen for the scripts.
This time Samsung Malaysia is partnering with four telco including Celcom, DiGi, Maxis and U Mobile. You will able to get a brand new Samsung GALAXY Note 10.1 at cheaper price while having data plan contract with selected telco.
