Reign Lounge in Houston getting mixed reviews

Aug 8, 2009 by Paul White

One of my clients will be doing a promotion at Reign Lounge here in Houston.  Normally I wouldn't give this much thought, but as I was googling for content online, I came across some rather negative reviews of the place.  Granted there were some positive reviews as well, but they didn't have the same impact as the negative ones.

Sony Xperia X1i hand polished chrome battery cover

Jul 22, 2009 by Paul White

Sony Xperia X1i ChromeI like to personalize my gadgets.  One of the nice things about the Sony Xperia X1 is the battery cover is not a cheap piece of plastic.  Its a made of metal, then brushed to give it texture, and painted ( silver or black ). But the paint is not the most scratch resistant stuff.  After a while your Battery cover will look beat up.  So I got out some sand paper, and some metal polish creme, to take my battery cover from dull black, to a near perfect mirrored chrome finish.  I have included before and after shots along with instructions for those who might want to try this on their phone.

T-MobileATT wirelessAfter spending more time than I should have googling for information on how to get my Sony Xperia X1i to work on T-Mobiles G3 network. I have finally accepted that it will never work, and I have now initiated a move to ATT wireless where G3 is supposed to be awesome.  If you just bought some new cool unlocked phone on ebay, hoping to take advantage of tmobile's cheap unlimited data connections,  I suggest you read this blog for more info and be prepared to make the same move I did.
