What is it with me? Every UMPC I touch seems to fall apart in my hands!
I’ve got the Samsung Q1b HSDPA up and running now so I thought I would wander into the local Vodafone shop and see if I can get a second SIM card. It turns out that Vodafone don´t have the multi-SIM option that allows you to have both devices active at the same time but no worry, Ive just transfered my data contract onto a new SIM card which is now sitting in the Samsung Q1b. Lets see how that goes for a few months. So far it seems pretty good. The guys in the Vodafone shop where certainly impressed!
Whats the first thing you do when you get a new UMPC and new HSDPA contract? Go to Starbucks and show-off of course! And whats the first email I read with my Latte Grande? “Please can you send the Q1b back to the distributor as it looks like you have a faulty unit.” Oh the luck of the gods!
Some of you might have seen me try to demo the organiser pack on the Q1b last week. There was a slight problem because it wouldnt work when plugged into the RHS USB port. (although a USB memory stick worked fine!) Its a major issue becuase the organiser pack will probably be an important part of my kit when I do the Solar UMPC tour so I contacted TheTabletStore yesterday and they quickly determined that its a fault. I promise you TTS, I didnt do anything! The funny thing is that just before I made the new data contract, I picked up the Nokia N800 that was in for repair. (new screen 150 Euro thank you very much.)
Looks like i´ll be on the Q1P for the rest of the week now which will give me a chance to optimise Vista. Having used the Vista T770 and Medion UMPCs for a few days I think i’m ready to dive into Vista again. Ctitanic will be happy!
