After I found out new HTC EVO installed with the latest Android 2.2, I got my first smart phone Sprint HTC EVO,

I have to pay extra $10/mo just for EVO, after I use it for almost a week, I really like it, so easy to text messages, browse websites, it is like using a mini computer in my palm, except the battery last only one day, but all the smart phones in the market are about the same, stock battery last 1-2 days, I ordered a replacement high capacity battery on Amazon.com,

according to the reviews this battery can last 2-3 days.

This EVO phone is so good, no wonder Apple has to sue HTC.

Pocket Camera for Panorama Picture

I like my compact camera Sony DSC WX1 , it works better than all my other cameras in low light condition, the panorama feature blows me away, take a look at this picture I took, I did not even read the manual when I took this picture, I turned the setting dial to panorama mode, held the shoot button, sweeped from left to right, released the button, and it was done.

This following link is information about Song DSC WX1,

“Sweep Panorama Mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, breathtaking shots of landscapes or skyscrapers. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera does the rest.”

AntennaCraft HBU55 installation

Pictures show how AntennaCraft HBU55 looks, it was not hard to piece together
antenna parts, it was hard to drill the holes on the chimney, I bought the side mount
kit from Radio Shack where I got the antenna, I got a small package with couple of
special screws for concrete and the drilling bit (included) from Walmart, I drilled the
pilot holes, one hole I drilled was a little too big, I put some paper inside the hole,
then put the screws in to secure the mounting kit, after installation, make sure aim
it to the transmitter on the mountain. or go check tvfool.com to enter your
address to find out the directions of channels, the cables runs about 150 feet
without any amplifier, singal is very stable, much better than those small antennas,
I get all the free major channels in bay area CA.

I recommend this antenna to anyone like to play and save money, there is
no contract to be signed with AntennaCraft HBU55:)
