Anyone get any good gadgets or geeky things for Christmas?

What did I get? A battery fail warning on my UPS...

There's always *something*.

HAHA think of it as christmas lights with a slightly annoying high pitch beep in the background :P

Didn't get anything, although I belive a few people have presents with my name on them... which is odd because I don't remember buying them.

I'm personally hiding from the whole "happ families" rubbish the inlaws put on this time of year.

I got a dead exchange server - deep joy

Sonos, how disappointingly simple is this stuff to setup. Took 5 mins, for full house streaming music. Not that I have checked, but this must have won a few awords just for good design...

I reviewed the Sonos for a mag a few years ago. It's pure genius. Such a cool toy and like you say, incredibly simple to use.

I got one of these:

My only gadget was SE K800i phone which my girlfriend got me. gotta be the best phone on the market for taking photos! only phone that I've seen with a PROPER flash

Oh and i spent 4 hours setting up a kenetix or sumet roller coaster for my girlfriends litle brother lol


Who brought you an exchange server for Christmas? or did Santa fall out the chimney and kick it?

Technically-speaking it is probably the best widely available phone for taking photos, although the Nokia N73 does run it very close in this respect (the Nokia has less user-adjustable settings but a better screen, both actual lenses are as good as each other).

This will probably remain the case until the Nokia N95 is released early next year.

I got (or rather I bought my wife) a nice 120gig external hard drive to back up the photo's and stuff of baby Tong that we could't bare to lose if ever the worst happened and the internal failed, which it's bound to do one day after all.

Thinking about it, should I back up my whole hard drive, and if so, what's the best way to do that?
