[MISC] HTC HD2 has Arrived!

Hi gamers and collectors!

For sometime I've using a friend's iPhone 3GS as my everyday phone, not until recently I bought my own phone. The 3GS is just getting too slow for my liking, and I couldn't possibly afford a new phone yet. So I jumped on eBay last week and won an auction for a HTC HD2, I researched the phone and found out it's very customizable so that just sealed the deal for me. Anyway, when it arrived I powered it on and greeted with Windows Phone 7.5 which was cool for about 1 hour until I found out how low the app support was. Now don't get me wrong, it was a very fast, smooth OS but when it came to everyday apps "Facebook, eBay etc" it was piss poor. I also hated the way the menus were too, not too keen about the upcoming Windows 8 either which is the style it uses... Now I'm just getting off track lol. So, after about a few hours and a reboot later Windows Phone 7 was telling me the Memory Card was damaged... Derp? So I just gave up with it, there's a bunch of download, installing, cmding bah. Installed Android on SD and it's now functional. Everything is working, Camera, Wi-Fi, Calling, and what not so I'm happy with it.

It was listed as "well kept" and the owner did a great job with taking care of it. Very minimal marks on the panel. The only negative thing about this phone, is the battery cover it's a bitch to get off -_-.

I know this isn't game related, but I'd thought it was worth the share =^^=.
Gaming stuff arrive this week! See you there!

MOMO9 Tablet Review (Short)

Hi gamers!

Last week I received my MOMO9 tablet, I mentioned in my Easter poster I was messing around with it.
Well I thought I'd just do a quick review of the device it's self.

So firstly let's talk about how it performs; When I took it out of the box and powered it on it was running on Android 4.0.0. Which is also known as Ice-Cream Sandwhich or ICS, now while waiting for it to start up and what not it took a while I noticed it was quite unresponsive.
After it finally started up completely I opened the app draw, and holyshit was it full of chinese apps. I started to uninstall most of them and then tried to open the market. I tried installing Twitter and well, it failed. Tried it again it failed... What's going on?

To cut a long story short, the original 4.0 ROM wasn't official, although it supported what it should it was horrible. Many things were overlapping, the UI crashed a lot, it was slow, touch screen was very odd etc. This ROM was surely not meant for the MOMO9!
So I did some research and found a 4.0.3 ROM for the tablet, well kind of... This new ROM I found actually works A LOT faster, it's now performing like it should for a 1GHz tablet, before it felt like it was running at 433MHz.

So now I can test everything. It can run 3D games pretty well and it seems like they're running at 49FPS or so. I've done benchmark tests and it ranks right up there with the Samsung Galaxy S! So what you can run on the Galaxy you can run on this.
It's also able to run flash content without ANY lag what so ever! Simply amazing for the price!

You can find this awesome device for around AU$110-$150 on eBay and maybe cheaper on other sites, just shop around for it. I paid $150 for mine but it came with a few extras, Keyboard and a Car Charger.

There are quite a few things I haven't mentioned here, but only because this is a short review, will be doing a video one soonish.
