[3 December] Two weeks ago, I blogged about the the icombi AP21 Bluetooth dongle from Infinxx that can pair off your stereo headphones with your iPhone for both calls and listening to music and podcast at the same time. This week, I want to introduce to those of you in Hong Kong, a great promotion deal from Plantronics, the Voyager 855AIQ iPod limited edition which comes with the Plantronics Voyager 855 stereo/mono headphones and the icombi AP21 Bluetooth dongle for just HK$1,288. You can get it now at shop.esd.life online shop (subsidiary of Hutchison Whampao), link here. Too bad the site is in Chinese. For overseas customers, they do have an English site catering for them, link here, but the iPod limited edition was not listed on it. You can try calling them at their hotline, TEL: (852)3151 2288 if you want to find out more.

LG KS20 vs HTC Touch Dual vs HTC Cruise Full Comparison

Come this Christmas if you’re going to shop for a 3G Windows Mobile 6 phone, you might have a tough time deciding on which one to get as there are some really nice phones launched or going to launch right before Christmas. The 3 strong candidates are the HTC Touch Dual, the HTC Cruise and the LG KS20 aka the next generation Prada phone. As I have been receiving much queries on the 3 phones, I think it’s best to put together a comparison chart to help people decide.

It’s hard to say who’s the outright winner but my votes goes with the HTC Cruise due to the next generation TouchFLO user-interface and the battery life. For more info, check my previous posts on the 3 phones.
