All I have to say is everyone should be on twitter!

This is a great website for people who uses the King Fahad Causeway often. it has a live update of the traffic status on the bridge for both ways. I can’t say how accurate is it because I haven’t compared it to real time and I’m not a frequent traveller on this route.

My new addiction! black berry.. I have to admit it.. i’m so blackberried its not even funny… Im holding it the whole time as long as i’m not working, sleeping or showering!

Things I like about it:

  • Emails.. Simple, clean and fast
  • No errors or hanging like Nokia.
  • Blackberry messenger (Blackberry connecting people.. Not Nokia)
    • Cheap and fast way of communicating with other blackberry users
    • Sending pictures and voice notes.
    • Sending your location to other users (AMAZING)
  • Easily synced with outlook and other devices.
  • GPS with google maps (I know nokia has it but it works once every 10 times, if so)
  • SMS as a conversation, I love that since i’m addicted to sms
  • Browser is acceptable, not iPhone but good enough.
  • Camera is pretty good (3.22 MP)
  • Facebook, Msn, Twitter..
  • Of course you might not be all interested but Bloomberg ANY Where ROCKS !

Things I Don’t like about it:

  • Battery life sucks ass.. few adjustments helped but I need more.
  • Settings and menus remind me of the old linux X shell.
  • It doesn’t have 3G.. EDGE only
  • You can’t charge your phone anywhere like the case of Nokia.
