Os - Olympics and O2

Did you catch the opening ceremony of Beijing Olympics 2008 yesterday?!

Hairs on my arm stood, particularly during the first 1hr cultural segment. Goodness gracious me... that precision, the beautiful and meaningful choreography, that riot of fireworks, the rotating globe with its acrobatic dancers, the fluidly practised motions of the whole field of master puligists... the sheer scale of the whole set-up obviously illustrated the tenacity of this emerging/emerged giant. Clearly, no expense is spared this time. All one can do is to stare and gape as the Chinese merrily showcase their rising prowress and determination. Good luck to anyone who (still) takes China lightly.

And 9mths into O2 zinc, I'm ready to throw in the towel. The weak battery life, the drop call rates and the poor camera functions are the major gripes. The last I heard, it can still fetch a worldly $300 upon trade-in. And I'm thinking of switching to an LG model next - either Viewty or Secret. Looks like I am as adventurous when it comes to hps.
