Guests are visiting

wooden setting area

I usually hang out in this place, very relaxing and specially when the weather is clear, the mountains looks so amazing.

oh right, we had some guests visiting, but I liked their way of transport

Helicopter

sides

I always wanted to fly one of those, but I think it’s not easy as it looks. I’ve been in this particular one couple of times and the it doesn’t have lots of stuff and buttons, but still scares me to try flying it.

cockpit doesn’t look scary to be honest, but I usually suck at RC ones, so I’m not going to fly the real one “Just Yet”

Why “Not” buy a Vertu

February 26, 2010 - 2:24 am 2 Comments

I used to like the Vertu mobiles because of ites uniqnes “Not anymore”, its design and the luxury of combination of titanium and fine leather.

I’ve been using Vertu mobile phones for about five to six years now and used many different types, from the ascent to constellation to signature, but as they always say beauty hurts and I’ll tell you why in a second.

vertu keypad

The mobile looks great, of course because it cost more than 40 000 Dirhams or 15 000$. There are cheaper models, not this! but does it worth this amount? hmm lets see

vertu side

I have to be honest, the metal never scratched, screen looks great as always, I bought this model for two years I guess and it still shine, But . . .

vertu leather

The leather will look like this after a short period, depends how you take care of it, my mobile is older than my brother’s Vertu, but lets look at his

summer collection vertu leather

The trick is never place the Vertu on its back when you are in a restaurant or home or anywhere ! When you place it on its face, don’t worry about the screen, it will never get scratched and the leather will live longer.

You always can change the leather, but it will cost you some thousands.

battery cover

When you need to remove the battery cover, you’ll need a special key that comes in a box, using key to open a battery cover is a nice touch by Vertu, but its annoying .. actually I lost all my keys lol, I use a coin or my nail sometime, but be careful, long nail can be broken easily !!

vertu battery

Major problem with Vertu is the battery. It is the worst I ever saw and used, it can be done with couple of hours or 30-60 mins talking and sometime less. When the battery is new, it last longer, but after couple of months, forget it. I’ve been using several vertu’s in the past 5-6 years and the problem still exist with them all. look at the battery how thin, and you’ll understand why.

Insert SimCard

I’m not sure if this problem is a major or not, but it happens with my current phone, on the picture, I actually removed the sim, but sometime I get this message even when sim is in. Annoying ..

Finally, there are millions of fake vertu’s allover the world now, and they look exactly like the original, but I still can tell the different .

  • every vertu has a serial number, or if its limited it’ll have a number for example 699/1000 as mine says. the fake ones always will be 1/1000.
  • the leather will feel cheap and somehow like nylon and not leather
  • the menu somehow is different
  • on the second picture there is a button on the left side of the phone to call the concierge service, on the fake ones it won’t work.

That’s what in my mind for now I guess there are much more, but I never cared about the fake ones only to catch my friends when they use one haha.

The Lost Shilling

February 14, 2010 - 1:50 pm 2 Comments

I’m not a big fan of antique, but some are great to have for the historical value or a historical character who owned that antique long time ago.

I was kind off attached to the English history and wanted to own something special, such as an old British pound, but I found something even better. I went to auction for an old shilling 1697. this Shilling was in a box in a ship that was sailing from England to the English Colony on North America, but the ship was drawn. On 1700’s they recovered the treasure box from the ship and my coin was one of them.

After I got the coin,  I was received a very special gift from a special person. The gift was a model of the same ship type that sank with the coins on the 1700’s. That made my day :)
