New Project...Need Help and Advice..

Dear Sifus,

I will be embarking on a major project which I hope will be done by this December 2009. I am planning to get all the major consoles, PS2, PS3, Wii and Xbox360 as I am a gaming freak and finally I am working and earning money.

Phase 1 which will be completed by August 09 is getting a PS2 and a Wii.

Phase 2:- October 09 PS3

Phase 3:- December 09...Xbox360 or a 32" TV.

Major question now is can all these consoles be hooked up to a PC monitor? I have a TV in the living room but it is a common TV so every1 wans to rebut for it. My PC monitor currently is a CRT, will upgrade when the time comes. PS2 most likely coming in by this month so I'm in a rush to prepare all the necessary adapters/cables/converters.

I've seen some sifus connect their consoles to their monitors. Can I know specifically what other parts to buy? Also, what about the sound?

Thanks in advance for the help. Don't know where else to look for help d. Cheers.

Dear Sifus, Phone Experts and all forumers,

Need help badly. I can't decide between the Nokia 5800 and Samsung Omnia. I have saved like mad and I have the money for Omnia. But I wouldn't mind if i can get a less pricier phone with about the same functions.

Which phone would you guys suggest? What I know so far about the major differences is that Omnia is Windows based while 5800 is S60. Omnia 5MP cam. 5800 3.2MP. Omnia 8gb with memory slot. 5800 also got memory slot. Omnia has document stuff like word/excel (which I might use occasionally) and nokia...have? or not? Both have wifi/browser/msn....is it?

Major question is...what other features does Omnia have over the 5800 to warrant a price tag of 800-1000 more than the Nokia?

Also need some feedback from phone owners. How's the Omnia so far? How's the 5800 so far?

Many many many thanks in advance. Hope to get all your advice soon cos i'll be buying 1 of the phones this weekend.

Cheers and Gong Xi Fa Cai
