Buy from BB AppWorld with XL Axiata Credit

Okay, some of you may have already know this... but a few telco operators in Indonesia have actually made a contract with RIM regarding to BlackBerry App World. Yes, if you're using XL Axiata and Indosat, then you can purchase apps directly from BlackBerry AppWorld using your credit balance instead of credit card or PayPal. This is great for us Indonesians (at least for me), since I'm still afraid to give up a credit card's information. For example, I bought my Steam games by borrowing my aunt's credit card. She lives in United States, so she's familiar with online shopping. Call me a conservative guy, but credit cards are easy to hack. Once it's hacked, your bill will skyrocket, and that's what I'm afraid of the most.
So, it's fairly easy to do this. Here are the steps you need to follow:

From Handset (OS6 and above)

  1. Open BlackBerry AppWorld from your homescreen.
  2. Select 'My Account' from the menu just below the featured apps slider.
  3. Choose 'Payment Options'. Wait and let the app download your account details. You may need to re-enter your password, just to make sure it's really you messing with your own account.
  4. Choose your operator (mine's XL Axiata). Tap on 'Finish' or 'Next', it depends.
  5. Happy Shopping! (The currency should already be in IDR. If not, don't worry, during the checkout, the application will convert the price for you.)

From AppWorld Web Store (Desktop Browser)

  1. Install BlackBerry AppWorld WebStore Plug-In here, and restart your browser once it's done installing.
  2. Get to the App World web store. Find 'sign-in', and log in with your BlackBerry ID. 
  3. You should see 'My Payment Options' in the top-right corner of the page.
  4. Pick your operator in 'Change Payment Option To' box.
  5. Click Next and follow the steps.
  6. Happy Shopping!
Oh, just for a reminder. This method is only available for GSM-based handsets. For CDMA-based handsets like the 9930 Montana (the one that I started using yesterday) or 9850 or 9360, this option won't be available, until a CDMA telco operator decide to take the same step.

I know this news has been in the net for a while, but... maybe there are those who don't know about this stuff, and I should write about it nevertheless. Anyway, happy trying and thanks for reading, Guys! :D

BOLT! 4G Mobile Wi-Fi Review

If you're a guy who always follows how technologies advance, then you must know 4G. Yes, the next generation of GSM network (and also CDMA) promises clearer voice quality and significantly faster data transfer. Though that sounds fantastic, the availability of such network is currently limited to a handful of countries. Heck, even the next generation 4G (like LTE-A and 5G) is currently being deployed and developed respectively as we speak. BOLT! is the first operator to offer 4G network in Indonesia One of the countries that is currently preparing for 4G network is Indonesia. No offense, but I'm kind of pessimistic, since the 3G networks here suck pretty bad. But it's not that all bad. While telco operators are testing 4G networks in various locations, there's already one new kid on the block offering the sweetness of 4G network. Well, Folks, let me introduce you to BOLT!, a new operator which focuses on delivering 4G data. Unfortunately, it's currently av

Which WinRAR Compression Do You Need? [GUIDE]

Okay, this is finally the time when I write a serious (and perhaps useful) post. The last time I wrote a post was about the first anniversary for Steve Jobs' passing. You can read it below this post. He was one of great people that mankind will miss. Anyway, the post before the anniversary was already weeks ago. Thanks to the busy routines and tons of assignments in my lecture, I almost abandoned by beloved blog. Today, though... marks the day for my return. Hit the break if you're interested about the meaning behind 'Store', 'Fast', 'Best', etc. :D

Logitech mk240 Mouse Combo Review

What do you do when you have a Windows tablet that doesn't include a keyboard dock? No, you neither throw it into the trash can or merely play games with it. You'll buy a set of wireless mouse and keyboard and of course, a USB OTG cable and put them together. That way, you'll have yourself a complete 'hybrid' notebook, albeit cheap. Now, I'm pretty certain that you're thinking that there's no such set that has the right size for your tablet. It'd make you look very ridiculous, and you'll be ashamed to bring it with you, even to your favorite café. Fortunately, I have a solution that I recently found. The Logitech mk240 Keyboard + Mouse Combo. It's not the best solution, but at least it can save you some cash and a little bit of embarrassment. Logitech mk240 Mouse Combo Official Shot (White) With the width almost equal to a widescreen 10" tablet, this might be the closest-to-perfection keyboard to pair with yo
