I’ve got myself a Blackberry 8320 from Maxis KLCC
Amazed on how do I get myself a Blackberry Curve 8320 instead of 8310 and/or 8300? Last time, I still can’t decide which model to buy, but that day must be my lucky day.
Go browse Maxis Blackberry website. Surprisingly, you wont find Blackberry 8320 in there.
Luckily, I came to Maxis KLCC. Initially, the salesgirl brought a Blackberry 8310 for me. While she keyed in the details and to receive payment, she asked the other girl in front on her regarding the Blackberry 8310.
Her friends shouted, “Why do you give him Blackberry 8310. Go for Blackberry 8320. It’s the same price anyway”.
Lucky me. The BB 8320 comes with Wifi unlike BB 8310 and BB 8300.
Brought back home and play around with it. Need to connect to my Linksys dd-wrt router to the new BB 8320.
First of all, I need to register the Blackberry on the wireless.
- On the Home screen, click Options, or click Settings > Options. Note: The location of the Options screen depends on the BlackBerry Device Software and theme you are running on your device.
- Complete the step associated with the software version you are running:
- If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 4.1 or later, click Advanced Options > Host Routing Table.
- If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 3.7.1 to 4.0.2, click Host Routing Table.
- If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 3.0 to 3.7, click Network.
- If you are running BlackBerry Device Software 2.0 to 2.7, click Network Settings.
Note: Some users running BlackBerry Device Software 3.7.1 might find the Register Now option on the Network screen menu.
- Display the menu and click Register Now. Your BlackBerry device connects to the wireless network.
To register a RIM 850 device, RIM 857 device, RIM 950 device, or RIM 957 device on the Mobitex or DataTac networks, complete the following steps:
- On the Home screen, click Options.
- Click Network Settings.
- Verify that the Roaming field is set to the appropriate country.
- Verify that the Radio field is set to On.
- Click the trackwheel and select Register Now.
- Click the trackwheel and select Save Options. Your RIM device connects to the wireless network. Once it is registered, the RIM device will display Active in the Status field.
The rest is history. I start to configure and install a lot of stuff.

HP to Acquire EDS for $13.9 Billion vs Microsoft-Yahoo!
May 13, 2008 — HP today announced that it has signed a definitive merger agreement to purchase EDS at a price of $25.00 per share, or an enterprise value of approximately $13.9 billion.
Read the official news here.
Several friends of mine working in these two companies. Mostly on the enterprise side such as networking, servers and storage.
IT has become so fragile and we don’t know what will happen in the future. Lay-offs for sure.
That’s the similarities with Yahoo! staff. Being taken over with Microsoft only creates uncertainties.
Steve Ballmer in Budapest – Get Egged
I watched Buletin Utama at TV3 during the prime time just now. Suprisingly, this news must be already stale by the time you’re reading this.
I may be too busy, not having a time to go through my Google Reader subscription.
Maxis Blackberry – Only EDGE, no 3G?
UPDATE: I bought myself a Blackberry Curve 8320 from Maxis for RM1999.
I was thinking to get myself a Blackberry 8707v. But the drawback is that Blackberry 8707v only provide internal memory, 64MB.
And yes, it’s from Maxis Blackberry for Enterprise, not the Celcom-Vodafone Blackberry Powertools.
Now, Maxis offered many ‘updated’ Blackberry devices available from selected Maxis stores.
Sadly, no Blackberry 3G (except 8707v) offered. All with EDGE connectivity, the fastest of 128Mbps.
Should I wait for Blackberry Bold? It comes with HSDPA. Or maybe I could just live along with two mobile phone.
- Maxis – For voice only
- Celcom – For only data plan, especially with Celcom Powertools plan
Need to finalize this, by myself.
