Note: I regard Edition 9 as an "upgrade" from SA5000. Now I feel I did make a fairly good decision. This short review is written after a burn-in process of about 200 hours. My system, if you really want to know, is: mac pro > (larocco diablo >) edition 9.


Fit
- A bit heavier than average headphones.
- It's "tight".
- If you wear glasses then you might have a problem with it. At least I do. But Edition 9 is very adjustable.
- All the above "problems" disappear after listening for about ten minutes. I feel comfortable wearing it for three hours, at least.

Sound
Since I do not have a good amp or source, my judgement on Edition 9 could be unfair.
- It has a pretty decent bass and mid-range, in terms of metal. I listen to Witchery btw.
- Sound stage is not what I was expecting of. I usually prefer "vast" sound stage, so, I need some time getting use to a closed headphone. However, the positioning is very precise and natural/real. The sound stage is "unique".
- You cannot enjoy it with a low volume. That sucks, for me.
- The highs are crisp. I really don't have much to say about this part. Decay is just right.
- Detail is immense. You can hear everything. However, the details are not distracting.

Upgrading from 1.0.2(unlocked) to 1.1.4 & other issues

Today I finally decided to go through all that hassles again to upgrade my outdated iPhone from 1.0.2 to 1.1.4. Basically I just followed this guide, but I did have a problem when I tried to restore(upgrade) to 1.1.4 after virginized it.

First I tried to restore on a MBP, which was running Leopard. And unfortunately it failed, gave me error 1603 and 50. I tried restart, change USB port, reset iSync history, let iTunes download the firmware, but nothing worked. So I switched to a mac pro running mac os x, and everything just worked like charm.

After upgrading to 1.1.4, what appeared on my iphone screen was an iTunes icon and a USB cable, I don't know if this has happened to others but it doesn't matter anyway. I still got the correct IMEI #, and I put a T-mobile sim card in iPhone just in case. Opened up Ziphone(version 3.0), click "Unlock, Jailbreak & Active", wait for several minutes, voila!

To disable EDGE: replace APN field with DISABLED.

My solution for the error "Package download failed":

  • Go to Sources, delete Conceited Software and Ste Packaging.
  • Install Community Sources under Sources. If the error occurs, tap Clear Queue then Install.
  • Now you should be able to install.
  • You should also install an app called BossTool, and move your apps.

Changing root/mobile passwords:

  • Open Installer
  • Go to Sources > Edit > Add source http://i.unlock.no, and refresh.
  • Install: Unlocking Tools > Ziphone Ibrickr fix.
  • Reboot.
  • Use iNdependence or iBrickr to change passwords.

If Terminal (Term-vt100) is not working properly, read this. If that fails to solve your problem, follow the steps below.

  • Add iphone.lenlolabs.com to your Installer sources, and install version 207.
  • Then install BSD Subsystem 2.x SU Replacement in under Tweaks, in order to login as root using su.

Note: I assume you did not use the method described here, if you did.....:

  • Download this .zip file: lib.zip
  • Extract the content, ssh to your iphone, copy the two files into /usr/lib/, overwrite if prompted. If fails to overwrite, delete the original ones.
  • Then go back and install the proper version of Terminal.

Good luck.

Nooka Zen-H White Review

Received my nooka watch this week, it is really fabulous, not that I really care about its 'large' size even if it is a bit large for me since my wrist is small.

The leather is actually quite good, and the lining is really comfortable. Below is a full length shot of it.

Only thing I didn't like is that the leather was too rigid. You need to bend it with full force for several times before you could wear it. I don't really get how the calendar works, but other functions work like wonders. Alarm volume is loud enough for me, I put it on night-stand and it can wake me up every morning, so far so good. So some more photos(not accurate colors).
