CES is here, and it starts NOW!!!
In case you dont already know, CES is the Consumer Electronics Show, happened early of every year, where every main manufacture unveil their latest technology or latest product.
Its held in Vegas this year, and thats why starting from today, i dont get to sleep. I will stay up all night and watch the livestream/liveblog of the show and follow the story.

Luckily CES2011 is held when im having my holiday. I really hope i will get holiday when E3 (Electronic Entertainment Expo) happened.

I wont write about the event much on this blog, anyway, i will tell ou where will i be reading, and watching the news flowing through.

1. Twitter (search CES)
– This stream is overflow with tweets that i cant even read them properly. My tweetdeck getting almost 20 tweets updates every second. But i watch there for any interesting news and links to the other livestream.
2. CNET Livestream (!!Favourite!!)
– I dont really know do they do this every year, but this is the first year im really following the whole thing live.
Their video feed is almost everywhere:

This is like an index to all my HTC Desire Z posted for #Maxis10.

Maxis10: Maxis HTC Desire Z first look
First post after getting the post. Details about pricing, some hardware features, and a group photo of fellow #maxis10 reviewer for this time :D

Maxis10: A day in the life of the HTC Desire Z
In this post, I written about how my HTC Desire Z phone go with me with my daily life. Included some of the highlight of the features of the phone and some of the very nice software I found useful in my everyday life!

Maxis10: HTC Desire Z – Type or Touch?
I had always wanted a phone with physical keyboard, and i finally get to play with HTC Desire Z which has a super nice cute keyboard. Is the keyboard useful? Do i prefer Type (on the physical qwerty keyboard) or Touch (on-screen keyboard)

Maxis10: New HTC Sense, Too good to be true?
A very important feature of the HTC Desire Z is the NEW HTC Sense UI and HTCSense.com web service. The cake is a lie? Well, you can learn more in that post.

Maxis10: Why Android? Why not iPhone?
I know iPhone is nice, but why i think Android is nicer. To be fair, not really a comparison, but some of my opinions and that’s what i thought.

Maxis10: HTC Desire Z Battery Life
Battery life is important to me, and how this phone did. Some of the problem issued and proposed some of the feasible solutions.
If you find yourself having battery life problem, can refer to this post too!

Maxis10: HTC Desire Z Pros and Cons
In this post i focus more on Cons since i wanted to be really picky and write something “bad” about the phone, and at least make the public aware of the problem do/will exist and consider of them when making decisions. And note, there is no product in this world is perfect, and im just being picky in that post. I still love the phone anyway. I really do! Haha

Maxis10: Android Market Alternative and Apps Recommendation
New Android Market, and some Alternative of Android Market. Followed with some of the Apps Recommendation.

Maxis10: Android Games Recommendation
Games Recommendation for Android.

#Maxis10 is a very good program and i like this program because it gave me the opportunity to try the latest model of the phone and maybe own those products too! I enjoy playing with new products and writing reviews about them. I hope i will own the HTC Desire Z phone. And also i hope i will get chosen again for #maxis10 to try out more awesome new technology in the future.

There are parts of the phone which I didn’t cover in my review, so i suggest you check out these post below written by the other #maxis10 reviewer of the phone.
The obvious part which i didn’t talk about is the camera of the phone. You can check out how the phone perform in taking 5mp photo and shooting 720p video.

Maxis 10 – HTC Desire Z Camera & Video Function for Japanese Restaurant Nagomi Food Review
Jason Ong is a photo blogger which i think i did the right think to leave the camera review to him. He took some great pictures and make me hungry, and also explain how the camera of HTC Desire Z perform.

HTC Desire Z, HD Video & iMovie
Jaco Swanepoel explain how did the HTC Desire Z camera perform while shooting 720p video. Sample video also included so you can check out the quality yourself.

Another feature which i didnt touch about is the All In One Mailbox. Which is a sweet feature of the phone. But for me i didnt make use of the feature since i only uses one email inbox as my primary inbox, those other inbox-es are full with spam and unwanted email. Haha

All in One Mailbox – #Maxis10 – HTC Desire Z
Read Muhd Tarmizi write about the All In One Mailbox feature in malay.

Did i missed anything? I hope not.

I really enjoyed the #Maxis10 reviewers Program experienced. I had always wanted to be tech journalist, and maybe #maxis10 is a start for me to do that! Thanks Maxis again for providing this opportunity to do so. (Pssss. maxis ah, will i get a chance to be part of the maxis10 again in the future ah? Im so looking forward for that :D )

To join #maxis10 reviewer program, check out their facebook app, or their facebook page
To learn more about Maxis’s latest products, go to their website at www.maxis.com.my

And this post ended my journey to review Maxis HTC Desire Z. Now what i will do is sit here playing with my phone and hopefully maxis will tell me that i can keep the phone instead of returning it :D (And then i got a free phone wakaka).

Happy New Year everyone!
