We have put a TON of work into this, and still more is needed. We are looking for another “Web” developer to assist us with the additions that need to be put into the site. Please contact me directly to submit your request to work for us.  Also, your comments are appreciated. We need to know if you find ANYTHING wrong with the site at all. Submit anything you find to our site Admin.

We are currently accepting applications for our paid blogging positions. Also accepting “free” writers as well. If you would like your voice heard (or read) by thousands of people every month, this is the place for that. Negri Electronics is one of the only (strictly) high end wireless electronics stores online, so we have a unique niche. Your posts mean alot to us and to our customers. The more information that is posted the more information that can be shared throughout the web. Please apply to me directly for more information on Blogging for NE!

The Symbian Foundation has announced that Symbian OS (330,000,000 shipped) is now fully Open Source from today.  Members of the foundation include Nokia, AT&T, LG, Motorola, NTT Docomo, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, STMicroelectronics, Texas Instruments and Vodafone.  This is the result of the weird timer over at Countdown.Symbian.Org.  More news soon.



Last Monday, Glen Murphy a user interface designer for Google’s Chrome browser and the Chrome operating system pointed out on twitter that new image and video concepts of a Chrome OS-based tablet that nobody had noticed, that were released 2 days before the iPad release (great timing).  He ointed this out by tweeting “Apparently our tablet mocks have been unearthed.”  As stated on the Chromium form factors site “its primary focus is Netbooks, Chrome OS could eventually scale to a wide variety of devices. Each would have vastly different input methods, available screen space, and processing power,”.

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.

Well folk AT&T has officially released 4.6.0.297! At first it was only available by OTA upgrade, but it has finally made it onto the Blackberry download page.

After much anticipation, I had a successful Windows 7 upgrade, but thought it would be a good idea to share a few tips on upgrading. As the DVD/ISO is shipped, you cannot upgrade from RC to RTM. To fix this, as with previous versions, copy the files to a folder on your local hard drive. There is a file located in the sources folder called cversion.ini. Edit this file with notepad and change the value of the WinClient to less than or equal to 7100 (the RC build). This will allow you to upgrade.

Additionally, if you download the ISO and will be installing multiple flavors of Win 7 (professional, enterprise, home premium), you can delete the ei.cfg file and you will be prompted which version to install.

One last note, if you are using an ATI video card, it’s best to uninstall the Catalyst Control Center before upgrading as you will have to reinstall it once you have completely upgraded. Feel free to share your upgrade experiences in the comments below!

Well after days of waiting Tmobile UK has finally released OS 4.6.0.291 for the Blackberry Bold.

Well, it took some time to put this one together and hope you all like it. This Hybrid is built off the OS v4.6.0.282 and has the 5.0.0.100 browser files as well as the new BBM 5.0. All applications work with this Hybrid. It installs the same as my Hybrids for the Storm. You will need to download the the OS if you dont have it already installed.

4.6.0.282

Bold v1.0

Download and install the 4.6.0.282 to your PC, then follow the directions below to install the Hybrid. Once the Hybrid is installed go to C:/Program Files/Common Files/Research in Motion/Apploader, there you will delete the vendor.xml file and double click the Loader.exe program (looks like a phone) this is how you will install the OS with the Hybrid. If you run into any issues just post in the thread and we will be there to help.

The install procedure is the same as for the Storm install so I am using those photos. Hope you all dont mind.

Once downloaded double click to run the installer

Click the next button to continue install

It will ask you if you want to create the destination directory click no

Click the browse button and navigate to C>program files>common files>research in motion>shared>loader Files>and highlight your OS folder

Once highlighted click next to load the hybrid

Once finished click next and then use apploader to install on your phone
