nokia 6300 from CMC markets

woot !! i got my phone yesterday !! it is black in colour and had the cmc market software installed and unlocked ( not sim locked)
so it's good. i can finally retire my nokia 7280 ( incidentally i think it was the first cam phone in the market that i bought years ago in bangsar for about RM 1.8k)

this new phone is slim and a little larger than my ipod nano. bigger screen. the cover for the battery is metal. which is a new to me. because all the nokia i've ever had came with a plastic cover for the battery slide cover thingy.

camera is alright. a little slow so the subject must be still for the photo to be taken.

the menu buttons are a little too small for my hands.. since i've got big hands.. so pressing the menu buttons are like a chore.
other than that.. i have no ideas how to use the phone.
it came with a microsd card.. 128mb .. omg.. that's sooooo small...
anyways, not like i'm gonna use it for anything else

now i think i should be able to take photos with the phone which will enable me to put more photos up.
walking around with the big cam in london is too.... erm.. dunno..

alrighty..
and last nite i played the 0.25 cents buy in + rebuy satellite to another satellite to the LAPT san jose thingy .
i just barely made it to the top 17 .. out of 150 ppl i didn't really wanted to play the game because it was late. 130am. hehe.
so i unregistered and got myself about 8.88W$. ( which there's a site that will buy the W$ for cash)

I remember seeing an ad about CMC Markets giving out free mobile phones in May...but dont recall the specifics. Do you know how to claim the free mobile? Thanks!

ahh in may they still have that promotion ?
to claim the promotion, just sign up and put £200 minimum into the spread bet acct, and then make 2 trades, then the phone will get sent to you in about 2-4 weeks.
in my case i got it in about 2 1/2 weeks i think. after i made the second trade.
each trade means u buy and close your position. so i bought and sold twice.
but of course, the trade might be a bad trade and one can lose money in the trade so becareful though.

i hate my kindle

- reason being i can't put it down when i start a book. and it doesn't make it any better that i can put so many books in there.. OMG.. i can just continue reading.. so far i've used the kindle for like 2 weeks ? or maybe a week.. since i hate it.. i'll say only the bad things i can find about it.. 1. erm.. when eating do not read. - makes it hard to wipe the oil stains off. nothing a cloth wouldn't wipe away. or maybe the hem of your shirt. 2. to jump flip the pages is a little hard. it's made for sequential reading. 3. dictionary is a little hard to use.. it doesn't let you highlight the word and checks it in the dictionary. 4. collections.. i have a few books which i loaded on it. but to actually navigate through them takes some time as i can't seem to organise my books via any book management tool. meaning they can't group the books by folder. kindle just shows everything in one big list. 5. it looks so cool that most of the time when i am readin...
