Well it is 03:01 GMT and I wish everyone a happy 2012, hope it brings much happiness

Well it’s been a while again but I have yet more gadgets to talk about and write pages for so here goes. Recently I have acquired the following that I’m going to write as much information as possible about:

• 2 CB Radios
• Open pandora handheld
• Remote control helicopter
• New TV
• Radio scanner

I have also upgraded wordpress and chose the new theme

I managed to bag myself an HTC HD2 on O2 the other day because my upgrade date was up.

I’ve been playing around with the phone for about a week now and can’t get along with it!  I have had quite a few windows mobile phones over the years so am use to the way they work.  I have been using my iphone now since it came out and have been spoilt by it.  Both the ease of use and how it just works.  I thought that microsoft would have at least cause up with apple in the OS front, but dissapointingly they haven’t!

Because this phone doesn’t have a physical keyboard it needs to have a really good virtual one to make it useable, unfortunately it does not.  T9 auto correction is good when it works, but sometimes it just turns itself off without warning which can be annoying.

So, on monday i will be returning this phone and going for the Palm Pre, hopefully this will be a better experience.

Below if a gallery of the unboxing if anyones interested:

I’ve installed the wordpress program for the iPhone. I’ll have to see how it goes. .
I received my first push notification on my iPhone today aswell. Very exciting!

Well its finally time for a change.  I have been happily using my iMac for a little over 2 years now but its starting to get old and i fancy something i can carry around with me.  I was following the announcement of the new MacBooks at WWDC live and thought that it was the right time to upgrade.  I’ve ordered my MacBook through the apple online store and am happily awaiting delivery in a few days .

I have managed to get my average MPG for this tank up to 54.3 MPG (over 450miles)

Awesome!

Today I bought a new car. A Toyota Prius, I’ll start posting some reviews of it and some photographs soon.

My first impressions are very good.  I purchased the car because i like gadgets and this car certainly has lots of them!  I’m getting around 55MPG at the moment, but that changes depending on how i drive it.  I’ll post some more information soon.
