Unboxing the Dell Vostro A90/Mini 9

Over a month ago, I ordered a Dell Vostro A90 (the all black “business” version of the Dell Mini 9) with Ubuntu, 1 GB RAM, 8 GB SSD, Bluetooth, and VGA webcam for about $200 on sale.

I also picked up a 2 GB RAM module and a Runcore 16 GB SSD for another $100…

The Vostro A90 finally arrived last week, and after upgrading the RAM and SSD, I promptly installed Mac OS X 10.5.7 on it for some tasty HackBook nano action – take a look at my pictures.

Everything is supported and working like a charm via the Type11/DellEFI method – it’s truly remarkable!

Nokia E75 camera

There’s no doubt the Nokia E75 is a great device. But the camera really surprised me…

With 3.2 a megapixel sensor, auto-focus, macro, a single LED flash, and VGA video recording at 30 fps, the E75 camera specs fall somewhere in between the “meh” Nokia 5800 camera (which features dual LED flash and Zeiss optics) and the mediocre E66/E71 camera (which only features QVGA video recording at 15 fps).

But in reality, the E75 leaves the 5800 in the dust, beats the decent T-Mobile G1 and teases the excellent BlackBerry Storm to the finish line – check out the pictures and judge for yourself!
