Phone Review for Samsung Beat DJ

Thank you 24seven for the invitation to try out this cool phone - Samsung Beat DJ. I would say it's really cool. Some features inside the phone really took me away. It's my first time using a touch-screen phone. It's interface is quite similar to Omnia. it's one of the most user friendly interface that I had came across with and I got the hang of it in less than 15 minutes of exploring the phone.

After the initial exploration, I went straight into it's unique feature in this phone called the Beat DJ. basically, it has the basic tools that a real DJ has. After selecting your favourite tune, you can start to play it and while it play, you can actually either scratch the song or add effects to it. There's this filter function, where there is a range of 10 choices for you to choose. One of the functions, they called the "looper" function, allows you to loop the part of song where you selected the loop function and they have a range of beats that you can choose, like how many beats you want that part to loop. Not forgetting the 9 other effect which you can play with. It's a totally cool program which you can impress your friends with (of course with adequete practice). The coolest part is that you can record your own version of mix.

The most important function for people nowadays would be sms I think. So to me, the sms function of a phone matters alot. I'm not a fan of touch screen smsing but this phone's touch screen sms is still ok. At least the "buttons" on the screen are large enough for me to key in the right numbers.

The design of the phone is trendy and special. Unlike the normal squarish phones, this one is more of an oval shape and it allows better grip while scrolling through or doing the "scratch". It's lightweight is also a plus point.

Some features that I dislike

The volume of it's speakers can still be improved since it's a phone that it's supposed be able to blast party music and doing a live DJ out of it, it should be able to project louder music.

The phone tends to lags too when I try to get to the menu and it get's pretty sensitive after a few touches while viewing photos.

It's 3.2mp camera was also a disappointment too. Being someone who takes photos pretty often, I'd prefer it to be at least 5mp.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would say this phone is good. it's screen colours are also bright and brillant. I would recommend it to people who like light weighted, small, cool, trendy looking phones. and I would recommend it even more to people who likes music and likes mixing music around like a DJ. It's "swing" function further brings out the cool-ness in it. To view the next picture, swing it to the left or right! I can also do it by scrolling my thumb across the screen. A worthwhile phone to buy.

Overall rating: 4/5

Good comment on my acting

I woke up especially early yesterday because I have a filming. Dewei picked me up and we cabbed to the first location, and we got lost because I conveniently mistaken the gathering location as Hall 4 instead of Canteen A. So we cabbed to Canteen A, only to get lost again. This time we didnt know where the exact gathering place is. Cindy came to bring us. It is actually the old Canteen A. Lol!

The rest of the details of yesterday filming cannot be revealed, so you guys will have to wait till August 2009!

I m surprised and happy to see my xiao di Joseph and Evon coming down to support me, and also poor Dewei for helping me out the entire day, even missing his lunch. thanks alot guys. (",)

After filming we went to Donut Factory for some light snacks. We ordered 6 donuts, which were entirely finished by me and dewei because the two of them didnt want to help us! Faint!

Dinner with Carol, Daniel, Mandy, Boss, Dewei, Evon and Joseph at Vista Point. We had tze char. Very full liao. As usual, Boss always ordered alot of food.

Anyway some unhappy issues happened yesterday. I dont want to elaborate or say who or bitch about the person here but I m glad Boss helped me solve the problem. Boss had been in this industry for more than 10 years. He advise me that this trade is like that, people just like to backstab people due to jealousy and many other factor at time. So stay strong and ignore these type of people.

Just want to share with that person the advise by a well-known celebrity in Singapore; "Remember when you are not famous, please do not behave like a BIG STAR! Even if you are famous, you also have to be humble and take care of your junior."

Thanks the director Siang Hui for your good comment on my acting. This is my first time involved in drama acting and thanks for the opportunity and guidance. (",)

One last thing, I really hope you all can understand me sometimes. I really do try my best to try to cater time to each and everyone of you. But sometimes when I really cant, I hope you all dont get emo or what because it makes me really sad and I dont like that kind of feeling. Always remember, there is always a next time. 来日方长. it is not as if you will not see me anymore or what. So please, give me a break sometimes. Thanks.

Been rather busy lately. I told Yujing, I can feel my body crumbling yesterday. Totally shacked out. Today is a resting day for me as Pin Ming Laoshi and Teacher John Lee both not free, as I told them that I might have filming. Hoping to see both of you next Tuesday. Oh ya! Next Tuesday, I will be attending the TV acting class at Mediacorp. Need to learn and upgrade my talent skills to catch up with the industry. Hope everybody can also learn something new in their life too!
