Belkin Wi-Fi Phone For Skype
I’ve had one for a couple months and i love it.
Went out and got my self the $14.95 Skype Unlimited calling to go with it.
On maybe 1 out of 5 Skype to landline/cell calls I get a slight delay.
it syncs up with my Skype account on my computer, so i don’t spend the time entering numbers into the phone. I enter them into my Skype account and then they show up on the phone.
It does take a little bit to turn on, find the wi-fi and get going, which can be a bit annoying when you just want to make a call and not stare at your phone for a few seconds.
I use it at home with my wifi network and have used it at coffee shops and at the mall when i found a open wifi network.
Seems to hold a charge well, I’ve never ran it dry.
Nothing fancy in the phone, just makes call. No blue tooth, no text msg.
It does have a cool little knob in the middle for navagation.
I give it two thumbs up.

Thick Box is a nice little Javascript tool that can display content on the web is a less linear click-for-new-page format.
The html is pulled from the server using AXAH (because they couldn’t continue to call it AJAX).
Used here – http://cortneykelleyphotography.com/gallery.html, quite simply to create a photo gallery, Thick Box can be used with Prototype & Scriptaculous, but you’ll want to modify your Javascript a bit.
Download it and get examples of code here – http://codylindley.com/Javascript/257/thickbox-one-box-to-rule-them-all
Beware of what the stylesheet will do to your layouts.

My Treo would be lacking with out the additional software I have added.
I was pretty excited when GMail announced its Mobile App. Works great. You have to have Java installed o make it work, but for quickly getting to my gmail account, it rocks.
Opera Mini is a better web browser than the Blazer that it came with. Its faster, more options for the display, but crashes (which requires the Treo 650 battery removal reboot).
I tried the trial version of Ringo, to add some MP3s to my ringtones, but it expired and I don’t think I’ll pay for it. TCPMP kicks ass to view video and listen to music. I’ve watched movies on the bus and keep some MP3s on a SD card to listen to. The only bummer there is a hardware issue where normal headphones don’t work in the Treo without an adapter. Verichat is great, I use it with my MSN chat and it works great.

I love my Treo 650 (Cingular).
Its a bit of a brick compared to everyone else’s sleek and slim phones (my girlfriend has a pink Razr), but it does the job.
I bought it ‘unlocked’ thru craigslist from a guy in Seattle.
With a little creative banking, I was able to get Matt Hickey the money and he brought the phone down to Oly the next day.
I tried a leather case on it for a while, but adding more bulk to it wasn’t working for me.
I settled for a screen cover and it seems to be doing OK. A couple little scratches.
I’ve switched my TitanWest.com blog to a Word Press blog.
I think, i’m a bit of a WP addict (more on that later)
I will go find my old post and port them over.
And of course, I have to try to make it look sorta not like a Word Press Blog, but it alway will
more to come… I know, you’ve heard that before
