Nokia 2710 review

I've just got my new Nokia 2710 navigation edition, here's the look of it:

It is a fair nice phone for for a very low price.

And it is got integrated GPS that works quite well.
The GPS maps can be updated for free and the GPS feature is free for life! You just got to sign in for an OVI account and install the sotfware, you can install maps for almost every country in the world.

The screen is very clear and sharp.
It has a 2M camera for photos and videos.
The memory can be extended through a Micro SD card.
I've upgraded to a faster Micro SD card and the GPS maps load quite fast!
In general when you upgrade the Micro SD card if you get a good fast one, everything in the phone will work faster too!
Photo and video quality are acceptable, but not the greatest, and one of the greatest things for me is the standard 3.5mm jack, so you can directly plug in your favourite stereo headsets, and the standard micro USB to connect it to your PC.
The battery stands for days.. this feature alogn with the worldwide GPS makes the Nokia 2710 a fantastic phone for travellers!

I've just found a little problem: the speaker volume is very low. This can be a real drawback, if someone calls you and you're on a loud street you wont hear anything.
I've just solved the low volume problem with the Equalizator program by settings the sound more high pitched, and also by activating the extended stereo feature.
When setting the Equalizer it works very well by setting all the high and low pitched sound values to their maximum the equalizer parameters should look like a V, and so the speaker volume is really increased.

    Yes indeed, the Nokia 2710 GPS is fantastic. I'm expecting a new Nokia now with GPS too and a 3MP camera. Photo quality is important to me, I will post a review as soon as I get it!

Repair Dolce Gusto Circolo Leaking Problem

Image
My Dolce Gusto coffee machine started leaking without even plugin in to the socket. Water was leaking at the base, the tank would get completely empty in a few seconds, so I dismounted the back cover to see. Use a Torx tool.  Fisrt start removing the two screws down besides the reservoir connector. Down there you see the join inside the water connector. That small rubber joint was apparently in a good shape but the problem really came from it. I took the small water filter and descaled it by diping it in white vinegar for a few minutes. Then I took a rubber tap joint from my tool box and put it on top of the rubber joint as you see it in the circle. Then I mounted all back again and it works! The joint was just too used, and you can replace it with a tap rubber joint, just find the right size. Descale the coffe machine This is always a good thing to do every two or three months to keep the inside clean. I descaled completely by filling the water tank with a mixture

How to Change the Gear Shift Knob of the Peugeot 306

Image
Well, last week the gear shift knob of my car got teared down in my hand as I was driving as you can see it in the picture. It was so really broken that the official knob from Peugeot would not fit anymore. The good thing about it is that now I can replace it by a nice one. But it was a real pain to figure out how to dismount it, the main thing is to lift up the leather bag around it first, from the bottom and then turn the knob twice to the left and then pull from it till it comes off . As you can see the white base support was broken too, so I had to dismount the whole thing and look for an universal knob to replace it. Well here is the gear shift itself all alone, I had to stick around it a piece of plastic and then tighten it up with a wire (I did this with my pliers to hold it tight), so that the leather bag will not move down later. Here is the new knob, it has a nice fairy on it, well, I know you are smiling :) but it was the only one in the store one that fitted
