Thanks to SGregory and others from xda-developers, the latest Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard custom ROM is released. The WM6.5 files are extracted from the emulator as currently HTC seemed to be focusing on PDA devices that they sort of neglected smartphones. For HTC Tornado users, my guide has been updated and you can get the ROM now.
Let's flash the ROM
Side by side comparison of Windows Mobile 6.1 and Windows Mobile 6.5 homescreen. (Left is WM6.1 previewed using MyMobiler and right is WM6.5)
Windows Mobile 6.5 also features a new File Explorer and Widget installer
Overall, the ROM seems to be much faster and more responsive.
Watch the video below to see WM6.5 in action (The video is very laggy as the frame rates have been reduced)

Find My iPhone works, and it is awesome.
Myself and two compadres, Ryan and Mark, are in Chicago (each of us for the first time) to attend Brickworld, the world's largest Lego convention. Yes we're a bunch of dorks. Yes you totally wish you were here too.
Last
night, after seeing Second City improv, we ate at a pleasantly sketchy
dive bar in uptown Chicago, where the food was mediocre and the
characters were questionable. I definitely had my iPhone while at our
table, and I definitely did NOT have it (whoops!) when we were 100 feet
down the street.
I raced back into the bar, not even
particularly concerned, but it was gone like baby. In less than five
minutes, with very few people in the small place, my beloved JesusPhone
had managed to vanish into a black hole. Our waitress was sympathetic,
and I left a number, but I was immediately glum about my prospects of
seeing it again.

GSC has just opened its latest cineplex at Tropicana City Mall and since they are providing free screening for old movies on the first 3 days, I grabbed my brothers and we headed to Tropicana City Mall to claim the free tickets.
We reached there slightly late and the line was already very long, we were afraid that we were not able to claim the free tickets. In the end, we managed to claim a total of 16 tickets for 3 movies.
So these are the 3 movies we watched.
12.30p.m - Paul Blart - Mall Cop
3p.m. - IpMan
7.15p.m. - Race to Witch Mountain.
My eyes never felt tired despite watching 3 movies, but it's totally difference once I reached home. We only spent RM100 the whole day for food and snacks. Kinda worth it.

On Friday, Jenny organized a one day trip to Melaka. The main purpose of the trip is to, surprisingly - eat. Secondary purpose includes visiting historical places.
It was a day packed with fun-filling activities. Click Read More to read the rest of the story.

It has been two weeks since the ACCA June 2009 exam. So what have I been doing since then?
Well, first of all, I managed to do some housekeeping to all the PC in my house, performing the much needed fresh installations. Unfortunately, while trying to sync back my contacts from my phone to Outlook, I accidentaly deleted the ActiveSync partnership and all my contacts were wiped out. I managed to salvage most of my contacts via recent SMS list and my SIM contacts but some of the important contacts are gone forever.
I tried to console myself by saying "Well, at least now my phonebook will be cleaner."
After that, I took up a job offer to work as a brand promoter for Edifer at Sri Computers, Lowyat Plaza, a job I abandoned 2 years ago. During that 2 days of working there, I could see that the number of customers have declined tremendously, definitely due to the recession. People are spending lesser, especially on non-essential items such as computer speakers.
After working, I had the chance to play with the just arrived HTC Touch Pro 2 , the latest PDA from HTC. This PDA is definitely more than meet-the-eyes. Priced at RM3099, the first batch is bundled with a Canon Selphy printer, TV Out cable and a 4GB memory card.
The screen is bigger than Iphone, and the keyboard just feels so nice to use.
Touch Pro 2 and Touch HD.
I won't be getting any of these either because Windows Mobile 6.5 Standard is now available for my Dopod 577w.
That's all for now, it's time to sleep and I will be heading to Malacca tomorow !
