As promised, this post will feature the pictures of the ACER Iconia Tab A501^^

Unpacking your courier item is definitely the best!!

Beautiful box comes with handsome device INSIDE!!!

The tab comes with a charger, the charger's plug, USB cabel, some booklets and a wi[ing cloth which I didn't snap.

An informative sticker on the right side of the tab.

Power button and a 3.5mm headphone jack

HDMI port

Power charger port

A tiny reset hole, standard USB port and a mini USB port.

Docking port. I'm going to look for the docking station. There people telling me the docking station can act as the tab charger as well!!

An up and down volume button, rotation lock, and a covered space for the simcard & MiniSD

5.0MP cammy with FLASH! AWW!

Dolby Mobile sound speakers

Handsomely made with brushed Aluminium.

I have to say, this is one handsome device!

Everything on the front is glossy with brushed aluminium on the back!

It has a small camera on the front, just left side beside of the screen;

power button, 3.5mm headphone jack & a HDMI port on the left side of the tab;

power charger port, a small reset hole, mini USB port and a standard USB port on the right side of the tab;

Weight - 777g (the first time I carry it out of the box, I was shock how heavy it feels on my hands)

NicaBell say:~

Touch screen respond is nice, but there are times I have difficulties tiping.

Game playing is marvolous! Games resolution especially games with lots of graphic look great!

Wide view ANGLE, BUT! I don't anyone would enjoy using this tab outdoor. Super glossy under direct light! Ouch!

You will have no worry with audio as it gives out pretty load sound!

I was let down of the battery life. 6 hours? For real? I have to carry the charger wherever I go.

Like I said, its quite heavy. For me at least.

I am not going to say I am dissapointed with the ACER Iconia Tab A501, but I would say it is good enough considering its value which is about RM1700++. This is not a must have product and you can get an ACER laptop with few hundred RM more. But this tab is one of the cheaper but still handsome device out there.

Boyfie & I must thank DIGI Telecommunication Sdn Bhd for this lovely prize. I have been using DIGI line since 2006 and it is the best mobile line if you are on tight budget. Boyfie love it so much but don't have much idea how this thing can benefits him.

I am posting this post with the WordPress apps for Android on this tab. I can't wait to see how my post looks like!

(UPDATED on 12/11/2011, 20:38 Malaysian Time ~ I can't help myself to edit this post with a computer. It's quite hard to edit it with the WordPress app for Android. They should work on something about the uploading media section.)

That is all for today!

From my previous post here.

Finally! I finally got my hands on my winning prize from the DIGI Get That Droid Contest.

The first time I carry the Acer Iconia Tab A501, I realize that it is actually heavy. But it got quit a big screen so there are no comolain here. 

I am very new to this Android thing and I have just installed some games and apps that I find amusing (and free)

I downloaded the Angry Bird games, Slice It (I super <3 this game), zombi booth, and others. 

16gb of flash memory, there plenty more room to be filled^^

I'm going to post the picture in my next post. So stay tune!!!!

Update for my life about EVERYTHING! HAH!

(Copied from my old blog iamnicabell.wordpress.com. I am moving my blog!!!)


Gosh it's been 5 working days but the package isn't here yet!

Urgh! I hate the feeling of waiting!!!! Okay, I'll chill for a while. so please bear with me ;)

So I have been doing some research for the Acer Iconia Tab A501 in the internet. I found out that it is no much of the difference of the previous model of the same brand the A500.  Some gives great reviews on it while others who compare the Iconia to the Samsung Galaxy or other tablets says it's a let down. Of course it's a let down considering they compare Acer Iconia, a cheaper product, to other tablets which is much pricier.

But what can I say, I am getting it for free so no qualms:D

I used to shriek like a little girl whenever I see Samsung Galaxy at the mall. I heard of great review on it. A colleague who own one let me try the device, I have to say, its an amazing device. I am not saying the other tablet is not good, it's just that I have only see and touch the Samsung Galaxy only. Most of those who are around me cannot afford Apple product.

And I am quite busy with my work currently. I need to prepare a minute for our previous meeting for an internal audit. It's exhausting! But in the end of the month, every drop of that sweat is worth it. I need money for my blog material too! nuff said!

I went to an outing with my cousins and their spouse together with my boyfie. We when for a dinner at the McD. I haven't eat junk food for quite sometimes now. Not that I dislike junk food. I LOVE McD actually. It's just expensive here. YEAH! Fast food restaurant always is ripping off their customer wallet here in KK. So back to the story, I ordered their new menu, the Double Quarter Pounder large set for myself, McD Fried Chicken, McD 9pcs Chicken McNuggets, a large cup of Coke and a large french fries for my dear dear boyfie. All for RM 36.++ if I'm not mistaken.

One of my cousin order 2 sets of the Double Quarter Pounder and another set of Big Mac for her hubby and herself. I thought that she will be eating 2 burgers because she is pregnant. But I was totally wrong. The extra Big Mac was for her hubby. LoL! This cousin of mine use to be a stick figure girl and she never finish her burger before. BUT! She definitely finished her Double Quarter Pounder this time. I think it's because of her pregnancy that makes her want to eat more than she usually does. Good for her right! But the point is, she paid for that 3 sets for RM40.90. Unbeknownst to her, she can use that RM40.90 of hers (may be with some extra change for the tax) to get the Quarter Pounder with cheese Family dinner Box! I remember there are 2 Quarter Pounder with cheese, 1 Big Mac, 1 Cheese Burger, 6pcs of Chicken McNuggets, 3 or 4 french fries, 4 carbonated drinks (medium size), & 2 sundae in the family dinner box.  But, I don't think she'll care. She seems like eager to try that DOUBLE QUARTER POUNDER. I must say, I was GREAT! the burger I mean.

We then chat for a while after dinner and decided to watch a movie. We were at 1B hypermall at the time but decided to go to the Centre Point Shopping Centre for a movie because there are not much movie in the GSC movie theater in 1B. There are some good shows I think, but they are not appropriate for my dear preggy cousin (they are some horror flicks! Eeek!)

My preggy cousin's hubby bought us the tickets. Well, there are 8 of us and the tickets are RM7 each. So do the math! We can't decide what to watch but the generous brotha' bought us a movie called What's Your Number starring Chris Evans and Anna Faris. I saw this movie's trailer on Youtube and may I say, it was a brilliant movie. Anna Faris is funny but I just don't think Chris Evans is compatible to be Anna's pair. He need a leading lady like me. LoL! No that's just a joke! But seriously, the chemistry between Faris & Evans are not that strong. And another funny thing about the whole movie experience is that I can hear children giggling. I was thinking, what-the-phat? There are children in the theater? The movie is rated Restricted and there are kids in the theater? I now it's ok for them to be accompanied by parents but they are too young to watch these kind of exposure! Chris Evans talked about how penetrating 'this much' won't count! But still, I think those kids might not understand much. I HOPE!

Oops! I wont too much about everthing in this post. I think it's just enought for today.

See you sooooonnn^^

Get That Droid!!!!

(Copied from my old blog iamnicabell.wordpress.com. I am moving my blog!!!)


OMGee OMGeee OMGeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!

I can't take this out of my mind right now! I am uber excited!!!

I WON AN ACER ICONIA TAB A501!!!!!!!! YYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well technically it is my boyfie who won the prize.

BUT if I have never FORCE him to look for the Digi Prepaid Internet and buy it;

If I have never been reload it RM100 so I can use it for 3months;

If I have never register/enter the Digi Prepaid Internet Get That Droid Contest (because the sim-card is registered under his name);

He will never get IT!

ROFL! Anyhow, congratulation my dear for winning the prize!!

What happen is that I have been looking, searching high and low to get a Prepaid Internet here in KK but never had a chance to get one. Probably because I was looking at the wrong mobile phone shops. So I (technically) force my boyfie (yes, poor him) to get one for me. I was desperate because it was hard to get into the internet in my office at the time. Therefore, I told my boyfie to get one for me no matter how. He was pissed by the way. But he have a strong sense of responsibility to help me because he was unemployed at the time and I have been using my monthly pay to support the both of us including paying one of his car loan. Then, he found that Prepaid Internet sim-packs were sold in Inanam town. Therefore, he bought it and register under his name. I have been reloading the Prepaid Internet for RM10 per 2 day (which mean RM5 per day)  because I wasn't using it regularly at the time. But then I found out that if I pay/reload more, the cheaper the internet service will be.

Reload	Validity
RM10	2 days data access
RM30	10 days data access
RM50	25 days data access
RM100	100 days data access

*note: table above shows the days validity of using or data access of the Prepaid Internet.

So I decided since I getting to get to use more and more internet for research information purposes, I decide to reload RM100! Then, just before I am going to reload the sim, I got a message which remind me (or my boyfie to be exact), to enter the Get That Droid contest via online! I wasn't thinking too much as I just think there are no harm trying. There is only 1 question and it was easy. And below are the 2 snapshot of the contest homepage and its contest form.

So 7pm this evening, boyfie suddenly got a call from Digi Telecommunication helpline. Though I was already informed my boyfie that I entered his name in the Get That Droid Contest, he was still quite puzzled when the operator told him that he won a ACER ICONIA TAB A501! He confirmed his name, Identification Card number as well Prepaid Internet sim card number in his puzzling face. He ask for my house mailing address so I gave him. I was expecting that Digi was going to send some complimentary prize. And when my boyfie hang up his found, he said that if Digi Helpline number could have tricked him? He was skeptical as there are sooo many telephone scam nowadays. So I assured him that the call was from Digi Helpline number so it could not possibly someone trying to scam him. Then, we both became excited! I search for the review of the tab and found out it was just launched around April 2011!!

I am excited to get the prize. I hope they send it tomorrow! I can't wait to get my hand on it!

I'll be keeping update on it. See ya!
