So how are you liking Ubuntu 7.10? {Engadget}
Oct 25th 2007 7:43AM Using kubuntu and wish I hadn't bothered upgrading really.
Laptop (Panasonic R5) didn't resume at all with default ACPI settings and still doesn't suspend and resume well (takes ages and sometimes fails) after fiddling around for a few hours to find the best combination.
Sound only works when headphones are plugged in - an ALSA regression it seems. Something similar happened with 6.04 and 6.10 but in reverse: internal speaker would work but no sound from headphones.
Not very impressed and thinking of returning to 7.04 which had none of these issues, or perhaps openSuSE 10.3
Hands-on with Qool: hip, stylish... qool {Engadget}
Mar 26th 2007 4:33AM parry: there's loads of dual-SIM adapters but nor this one nor any of the others allow both lines to be active at once. That requires at least software support from the phone and perhaps hardware support too (two radios/baseband processors?)

Mar 19th 2007 2:03PM Twin SIM cards is the dogs danglies. I'm often travelling around the same 3 countries roaming on GSM and generally have two phones on me at all times: one with my home/personal mobile and one with a local SIM card to not pay extortionate rates for data. With this I could just take one phone with me. Why has nobody done this before?
(I know there are all types of twin-SIM adapters for phone but AFAIK none that allow BOTH SIMs to be active at once)
Hands-on with ASUS' Lamborghini VX2 {Engadget}
Mar 16th 2007 10:55AM Looks like it's got an HDMI port on the right-hand side - that's pretty cool.
Nokia E90 hits FCC with lots of 3G bands -- destination T-Mobile? {Engadget Mobile}
Mar 3rd 2007 11:53AM I've looked through all of them and I can't see 1700MHz mentioned anywhere in any of the documents. I don't see any with a page corresponding to the above image. Have they removed the offending document? Or is the above image a screenshot of a hallucination?
Nokia's E90 Communicator: first pics! {Engadget}
Feb 9th 2007 12:38PM Confirmed by people who have used/reviewed the pre-release versions:
- it DOES have real GPS, like the N95
- it vibrates (finally)
- no touch screen (communicators never have had touch-screens and have never really needed them)
- backlit keyboard (finally)
Kowalskitg: the LG vx9900 is hardly comparable: the external screen on the E90's the same as the internal screen on the vx9900; the internal on the E90 has 3.7x as many pixels; the E90's a smart phone (install your own proper applications, not Java); E90 has 3.6Mbit/s HSDPA download, video-calling, 128MB RAM, more flash, Wi-Fi, integrated VoIP etc. etc.
SimpleTech announces "world's thinnest" 2.5-inch 64GB SSD {Engadget}
Jan 31st 2007 10:59PM All standard 2.5-inch laptop drives are 9.5mm thick.
12.5mm thick used to be the standard for all but thin/light laptops (and 15mm and maybe even thicker way back when) but I haven't seen one for at least 5 years.
