2008 Season round up!!!

Just a simple small blog is not sufficient to cover 2008 season...it is one of the best seasons in the formula 1 history. The championship was down to the last corner of the last race of the season!!!! It just can't get better than this. I am actually short of words to describe or talk about this season.

Brazilian GP was really exciting, rain started to pour down heavily 10 mins before the start of the race. Race control delayed the race for 10 mins, for teams to change to wet weather tires. Massa had a great start, but after first few corners there were collisions; which made the safety car come out :(
David's last race ended in a crash, sad way to end a pretty long career. With Safety car around, only driver to make use of this was Alonso. Then Lewis managed to get to fifth place; a safe place for the championship.

After that the race was pretty boring with Massa set to win the race. But rain gods wanted to add some fun to the race :) it started to rain again on 63rd lap. Almost everybody did a pit stop to change to wet weather tires, with Massa pitting last. It worked well for Ferrari. With all the pit stop drama Vettel was behind Lewis and did manage to overtake him with just one lap to go!! Now Lewis was on 6th place which will put him equal to Massa on championship points. Toyoto's Glock was on sleek tires; as the rain picked up.. he could not maintain the pace. Finally on the last corner, he took a long turn which gave lewis some space to overtake. He did finish 5th which got him 1 point lead over Massa. There we have the new Champion for 2008 season Lewis Hamilton.

But I am expecting the next season to be even more thrilling with 6 drivers really competing for the top place ( Kimi, Massa, Lewis, Alonso, Kubica, Vettel). It should be great fun :)

Slick Messenger app

Slick is a messenger app very similar to Fring app, I liked slick more than fring because it is lot more stable and works well on my Nokia N95. It supports ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, Gtalk and Jabber protocols!!.. supports emotions(smilies) as well :) Most of all chat history is saved!
But since this is a testing version, it is free..but soon LonelycatGames will charge for this :(

This is a really nice app, must have app if you have a Symbian phone.

Fring app for phones!!!

Few days back I came across this wonderful application for my Nokia N95, which is all in one multi chat app. One can chat, talk and share multimedia stuff on your phone!!!
As usual after using this for few days following are the pros and cons:
Pros:
a) Supports Gtalk, Skype, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, AIM, twitter chat protocols..Also orkut!!!
b) One can make voice calls over the above mentioned chat's but Yahoo & AIM are not supported for Voice as of now.
c) I have used this in quite remote places; where there is no EDGE network support as well!!! but it performed quite well, I could make voice chats as well.
d) The best part is one can log into all different chats at one time.

Cons:
a) Keeps crashing a lot!!
b) I am not a fan of the interface, but it serves the propose.
c) chat histories are not saved, so once u close the chat window with one user and again try to continue with the conversation..old conversation which one had closed cannot be viewed!!which is quite annoying

Over all it is quite a good app and more over it is free as of now..so no complaints.

My new N95 8GB!

I had to change my phone from HTC P3300...since it broke :( I had lot of options to choose from... I almost went for HTC touch Diamond. The only reason I did not buy HTC again is; I am not happy with there built quality and re-sale value in India. But if Sony ericsson's X1 was out..i would have got that. Anyways I got N95 8GB; reasons to choose them are:
a) 5 Mpix camera.
b) 8 GB drive :)
c) My budget
d) I have used symbian phones before, and it really has got a lot of 3rd party app's to choose from.

After using N95 from almost a month, following are the pro's and cons I could think off:
Pros:
a) Awesome built quality
b) Pretty good software bundle. I liked the Nokia multimedia converter..which converts most of the available video formats and stores on ur phone!!
c) Camera is quite good, I m not impressed with the Flash... but it is fine for a phone
d) Battery life is good.
e) Syncing the outlook calender/Contacts has been modified by Nokia, and I am quite impressed by it.
f) I found lot of useful apps..and themes as well


Cons:
a) I feel the device is quite slow.. defiantly needs more ram and a better processor.
b) Music playback on A2DP is pretty bad!! I really hate this part.
c) I have seen this device crash many times when using blue tooth modem :(
d) Does not charge on USB. I am not sure why Nokia is not getting this on there phones.
e) retail package does not include any games.
f) GPS is not so great.
