Mini-Review
To start, I want to say that the gesture recognition was very nice. Being able to zoom, rotate, scroll, switch windows, open apps, and numerous other actions with a few fingers was exciting.

LG Cyon LH 2300
Apr 18th
Author: autiger_seoul
About six months ago I joined the touch phone revolution by purchasing the LG Cyon LH2300 from my local LG OZ store here in Korea. Ever since the iPhone launched I had wanted one, but I’m a Verizon guy and AT&T’s service wasn’t very good at my house, so I was stuck with a regular slide phone. When I moved back to Seoul in 2008 I decided to do some internet searching about Korean handsets and buy a nice phone. I soon realized that the cell phone here is much more than a phone. Locals here use their handsets for everything from paying bills to watching free live TV (T-DMB) to scanning to ride public transportation and even to buy a whopper at BK.
After searching around, I decided to purchase an LG LH2300 partly because of the price. Korean phones are immensely expensive, to the tune of 800 dollars or more. When I purchased my phone, it had been out for about 4 months and therefore had come done in price, to a more reasonable price of 200 dollars.
The first thing I noticed when I powered on the phone was an OZ enabled screen, this means that the phone has full internet capabilities (as long as you pay for it) as there is no WIFI, which is something I wish it had. One helpful feature that it does have is a wireless phonebook and data port. You just place your old phone next to it and use the transfer data feature on each phone and all of your old contacts are synced, even if your old phone is not LG. I also noticed that the phone has Bluetooth and easily syncs with my Macbook Pro (after I set my own password). At first glance, I was pretty happy with my purchase.
Logitech Rebate Scam
Feb 25th
Note: The following article is intended as a warning for consumers who naively believe they will actually receive a rebate from Logitech. It has been submitted to Logitech and will soon be delivered to the Better Business Bureau, Ripoff Report, Rebate Reportcard, Newegg.com, Amazon.com and others.
Who would have ever thought, in these harsh economic times if you need profits just make them yourself. Well, it appears as though Logitech has been taking lessons from those Nigerian Scammers. Do those scammers teach courses now? I bet Logitech was an A+ student.
Logitech’s/Parago, Inc’s obviously fraudulent business practices might have been more believable had they placed the blame on the Postal Service. However, they decide to CLAIM that consumers are submitting the wrong UPCs. Truth or a new method of making lots of money? How many of you out there have purchased items JUST because they currently had a rebate you couldn’t pass up. Well, that’s what happened to me this past Christmas when I needed a few things for my parents. Amazon was advertising a 20% off Logitech rebate so I decided to go with a few products that would fulfill that rebate. A month or so later things got frustrating…
The following is my recent submission to Logitech Customer Service emailed Feb. 9th, 2010 (Full PDF: Response to Logitech):

Dear Logitech,
I would appreciate you looking into the matter discussed below.

I swear, one of these days I will make it out to CES (Consumer Electronics Show). I mean 8000 vendors with new unseen gadgets would be like Heaven on Earth.
Nexus One Review (all the apps he shows are on the Droid) Apparently he’s impressed with the 1ghz Snapdragon cpu in the Nexus One. “I will abandon the iPhone because I think this is in many ways much better than the iPhone”, said Leo Laporte. This will be available on the Verizon network Spring of 2010. Seriously, watch these videos. If you don’t have time now, then check them out when you can.

Forza 3 Reviewed by IGN
Oct 9th
“Simply put, Forza 3 is one of the best racers ever made.”—–IGN
Finally a detailed review of one of the most anticipated future titles on Xbox 360. I’m not completely sure how I’m going to like some of the features like the “auto-braking” and the “rewind” button. Seems like they are going to have to cripple these for multiplayer or there won’t be any fair races. Oh well, regardless, I know I’m taking it for a spin, how about you?
After the release, I’m sure several of us will be posting a review of it. Look forward to it.
