It also claims the tallest air control tower in the world if I am not mistaken.


Unlike other airports the KLIA is rather spacious where it will not be too crowded with passengers. Passsengers actually find it easy to check in and walk around the airport.

The most interesting thing that I found in this PDA phone is its screen which is clear, bright, and big. It is made for photo taking and photo viewing. I have tried to download videos into the phone and the quality is superb. This phone comes with a 2-megapixel CMOS camera which is pretty good for a phone. The quality of photo taken using this phone is outstanding because when you take photo on a phone you usually don't get the best quality. But with this phone you can take photo as if using a digital camera. It also comes with two loud speakers which are suitable for listening music and viewing video.

Most of the features in this phone are satisfying. Since It uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 you will have the standard version of application such as Powerpoint and Word. Using applications on this phone is rather a little bit tricky and consuming alot of energy. You cannot open many applications at a time as it take too much memory space and your phone will get slower. If you the applications for two hours after recharging it will get depleted and need to recharge again. But when you don't use the phone you can put it into standby. Just like using a computer it has a manager just like task manager in the computer. When you close an application you need to go to its manager to close it or the application will keep on running and consuming the battery.

Talk time for this phone is 5.5 hours which is fairly short for phone. When you want to dial a phone number you need to use the pen to press the numbers desired or you can go to the menu and choose the recorded numbers.

Recharging the phone usually took 3-5 hours the led on the phone will indicate whether it is fully recharge or not. Active user usually get 2 hours of running time after fully recharge. Passive users who always on a standby mode will get about 100 hours. This phone do not turn off it just standby. When you remove the battery it is consider turn off. A reset button is located under the phone beside headphones port.

Conclusion this phone is suitable for advanced user and gadget geek.

Sony Ericsson W850i

The Sony Ericsson W850I is one of the slide cellphones introduced by Sony Ericsson. Sony Ericsson W850i is a 3G and walkman cellphone. If you ask anybody on the street which cellphone brand provide better sound quality they will tell you it's Sony Ericsson. The W850i has a slick and ergonomical design. When the keypad is closed you can still access its applications by pressing the buttons on the slide. Playing games and listen to the music are made easy with those buttons. The size of the cellphone is not big but thick. The dimensions of the cellphone is 98 x 47 x 21 mm. The screen is fairly big which has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixel and uses 262144 colours TFT lcd screen. It comes in two colours, the Precious Black and Golden White. Like most Sony Ericsson's cellphones this one has a 2-megapixel camera and a loud speaker behind it.

This cellphone has some added features. One of them is the 2-megapixel camera with 2.5 X digital zoom as mentioned. Taking photo using this cellphone is as if using a digital camera. The resolution and quality of the photo taken are incredible for a cellphone. Taking photo using previous model is not as easy where you need bright surrounding to get the best quality. For this cellphone, taking photo is as easy as using a camera and you do not need a bright surrounding to get the best quality. On the other hand this cellphone allows you to do photo blogging and video recording. Each photo that you took with this cellphone can be log as photo blog. Video recording does not change much from the previous model except for the quality.

When you buy a Sony Ericsson cellphone, the first thing comes in mind is the sound. Since W850i is a walkman cellphone you will get better sound quality and better MP3 application. In terms of loudness and the quality of sound from the loud speaker it is still outdone by the W550i. But when you use the headphones you will realise that the sound quality is just as good. What I like about the Sony Ericsson's walkman cellphone is its megabass feature in its MP3 application. You will no longer need a woofer to get the effect. A Sony Ericsson headphones is provided with this cellphone. If you prefer using your own headphones, you can do so because Sony Ericsson has provided an adapter.

Getting entertainment from this cellphone is easy because there are several applications that are preloaded on this cellphone. This cellphone supports 3D and java games suitable for those mobile gamers. The preloaded applications are Radio, video clip and video streaming. The internet feature has not change much, you still has the internet browser like most cellphone. But what I am interested in is the RSS feed reader. With the RSS reader you are able to read some of the topics from your favourite website. The design folder has the standard applications and the new Macromedia Flash lite. I have not explore all of the features and applications but I can tell you that this cellphone is worth the price.

Most of the buttons and keys are easy to pressed. But I don't like about this cellphone is the plastic surrounding the multimedia buttons on the cellphone. It is easily torn when you use it for about a few months.

Conclusion, this cellphone suitable for music and game lovers. It is the far most practical cellphone I have ever seen.
