In a daring heist, thieves took anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 iPhones from a warehouse in Belgium, with a street value of up to 2 million euro, or $3 million US. The robbers may be foiled, however: wireless carrier Mobistar, for whom the phones were intended, say they have a list of all the serial numbers and that they will block the phones from accessing their network. The thieves climbed a fire ladder to the roof of a warehouse owned by CEVA Logistics, a Netherlands-based logistics company in Willebroek, Belgium. They then cut a hole in the roof of the large building directly above where the iPhones were located. Reports in the De Standaard newspaper suggested the thieves knew about iPhone delivery and storage location details, and that the robbery may have been an inside job. Mobistar, which has had problems keeping the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS in stock, is reportedly in an urgent search for more devices before inventory runs low. With the holiday season coming, the breakin could prove costly to the carrier’s business. Mobistar has prepared for a large number of devices coming onto the black market by blocking them from accessing the Mobistar network. However, the strong likelihood is that these phones will be unlocked before they are sold. Police say they have no leads. image from Gizmodo

I’ve tested out the new Google Chrome OS, and am not sure if I like it or not.  Its very much like Linux, but would not switch it with Windows 7…  The screenshots below were taken by me.  It does come with Gimp and OpenOffice.

So You’ve decided you want a new Smartphone. And you’ve considered the usual contenders, such as : various Android phones, an iPhone 3GS, or perhaps a sexy new Motorola Cliq. But you’ve settled on having trusty RIM provide you with your next device, only one problem though, you can’t decide which Device is right for you.

RIM has a vast offering of devices  that can meet various needs and wallets. There are numerous devices, but for the purposes of this post I’m gonna look at  just 4 devices, at least one of which should appeal to everyone(if not, go get yourself something running Google’s sexy new Donut )

So these 4 RIM Devices are the  Gemini, Tour, Javelin and Storm . (No complaints about the “Bold 2″, or “Storm 2″ being missing, I’m working with officially available models here-my post, my rules)

Now I’m gonna break this down pretty simply, detailed reviews are readily available but for the layman the decision usually comes down to  a few key features and of course Price. So below is a breakdown of the availability of those key features as well as the price of the Device.

Gemini (8520) – GPS: No , Wifi: Yes 3g : NO , Camera : 2.0MP(No Flash) —Cost : as low as  $339

Tour :                      GPS: Yes, Wifi : No, 3G :Yes   , Camera : 3.2MP               —Cost :  as low as $415

Yes, you’re not seeing things, another Operating System is going to hit the market together with Windows, OS X, all the Linux OSs, and Google Chrome.  Like Chrome, the Intel Moblin is targeted at netbooks, smartphones,  and nettops.  This OS will have good touch screen capabilities and gesture input.  Its web browser will also support flash and silverlight.  even though it does look stylish and sleek, I will probably still prefer installing Windows 7 starter edition on my laptop, but wont mind trying it out.

Hey everyone!  I’m back from my vacation in Rome…  Which in my opinion is one of the most beautiful places in Europe.  Whilst there I took some photos using my Nokia 5800 (just to have some memories stored of Rome)…  I have uploaded 2 pictures as tests for the camera quality of its 3.2mp camera…  The pictures are 2048 x 1536 for landscape view and 1536 x 2048 for portrait.  I would appreciate comments of what you think of the quality…

Nokia have unofficially released the latest Software update for the Nokia 5800 to V31. I have a 5800 and I can personally verify this. Though there is no Kinetic srolling and a home screen that everyone was hoping for… The only difference is the new Maps 3 and better touch t experience.
