空軍儀隊駐防生活


所謂
人在軍中
身不由己

沒辦法使用30D來拍下值得紀念的畫面
大多是使用空儀國民招牌機-- Sony Ericsson K800i 來紀錄我們的生活

Nokia 6110 Navigator - 玩樂生活,掌中智慧(規格介紹)

Nokia 6110 Navigator
Nokia 6110 Navigator
這隻手機迷人的地方在哪?

官方主要的features是這樣寫的
  • 單鍵操作 GPS 功能和地圖
  • HSDPA 高速上網和下載地圖
  • 2 百萬畫素相機和 QVGA TFT 2.2 吋螢幕
  • 鏡頭護蓋
  • 擬人語音簡訊功能
其中最具有噱頭的當然就是GPS功能
NOKIA很有誠意的內建了兩套衛星導航軟體:
  1. NOKIA NAVIGATOR (Route66)

    這一套內建了世界50餘國的圖資,但是都是必須要付費的,使用介面以及功能設定都蠻強的,但是軟體介面是國人較不友善的英文介面,所以目前國內使用的人數還不算很多數.

  2. PaPaGo! R12 For S60 (研勤科技)

    這一套就是於國內較風行的趴趴走,內建台灣相當豐富的圖資,主要的景點與生活資訊一應俱全,對於國人來說是相當便利的,使用介面也相當容易,對於完全沒有使用經驗的使用者而言,只要閱讀NOKIA貼心附贈的簡易使用說明,即可馬上上手,開始享受玩樂生活~
由於手中的老Motorola V3i 已經漸漸不敷使用,另外對於MOTO的使用介面一直是很感冒,所以在退伍前夕迎取了Nokia 6110 Navigator,一方面是即將要進入職場工作,必須要有一隻比較具有商務功能的手機,另一方面也是開始人生的另一個階段.

Nokia 6110 Navigator

這隻手機另外一個好玩的地方就是使用了Symbian 60 3rd System,屬於智慧型手機,簡單的說,就是跟PC電腦一樣,可以自行安裝軟體擴充功能,相較於一般的封閉系統手機,也多了許多額外的娛樂與自主性.

Symbian 60 3rd System要介紹起來,就需要較多的時間了!
本篇先暫且說明Nokia 6110 Navigator的主要功能,下次再繼續針對NOKIA電腦端套件以及Symbian 60 3rd System的應用報告使用的心得!另外還有好玩的擬人語音簡訊功能喔~!

退伍前的心情

剩下不到一個月就退伍了
回想起這一年來的儀隊生活
像是一場夢,也像是一場鬧劇
有苦...有樂...
不過一切都過去了!
我即將要邁入社會
當個平凡上班族~

當然在正式上班前
還是要慰勞自己這一年多來當兵的苦悶
月底要去我最喜歡的國家 - 日本
大阪自助旅行
這次是要帶女友一起去玩的~~當然也會拍很多很多的相片回來
希望她玩的開心!!
