The Opera Trailer Home is bound to draw attention to its passengers with its design and amenities.  The Opera Trailer Home is as luxurious on the inside as it is on the outside.  The trailer home comes equipped with beds that are considered first-class.  The beds are electronically adjustable and will move with the body to ensure that the camper has the utmost possible comfort.  The home also has a wine cabinet and gorgeous hardwood floors.

Campers are also equipped with hot and cold water, a ceramic toilet, and a barbeque to make cooking outside a convenience. This particular trailer home is for someone who wants to travel in style.

Although the Opera Trailer Home will be available next year the price is not set.  Based on the versatility and luxury of the trailer home, consumers can expect to spend quite a bit of money.

This article will take two separate techniques, and show how to combine them to get Facebook Events into your Symbian phone.

Firstly, using Sean Bonner’s guide, you can configure Google Calendar to subscribe to your Facebook Events, which will result in your Google Calendar now having an additional calendar which contains these events.

However, we want to get them into our phone.  To achieve this, you’ll need to sign up at GooSync and pay for a premium account.  This then allows you to configure GooSync to synchronise multiple Google Calendars, and you’ll need to include this additional Facebook Events calendar in the sync process.  GooSync costs £20 for 12 months, £30 for 24 months, or £40 for a lifetime subscription.

Then, and finally, you need to use the built in SyncML services within Symbian to point to GooSync (GooSync will lead you through this process) which will then result in the calendars all coming down to your Symbian phone.

Finally, if you want to make the whole process look even smoother on your Symbian phone, invest a few extra pounds for a copy of SBSH Calendar (formally Papyrus), which has built in GooSync support to separate out the multiple calendars into different categories, which will allow you to colour code them too (something we find very useful).

If you don’t want all the hassle and faff of paying and setting up all these different tools just to achieve this single function, then head to an Android phone, as these natively support multiple Google Calendars, allowing you to achieve the same thing for free!

INQ Chat 3G additional features

INQ Chat & INQ Mini

Having released the main technical specs for this device a while ago, there’s been little news since then on the INQ Chat 3G, although as it shares a lot of common code with the INQ Mini 3G, we can at least see how it should perform by looking at this unit.

However, little bits of additional information are starting to be released by INQ…

  • In terms of the SD card support, they have confirmed it’s the same as the INQ Mini 3G, so both devices will support microSD cards upto “at least 8GB”.
  • The main 3.2 megapixel camera will be referred to as the “Facebook Camera”.  “Itss a bit different to typical cameras as its built to be logged in 24/7 to Facebook. So you point, snap and one-click upload straight to your Facebook account”.  INQ go on that it “is optimised for Facebook to ensure it doesn’t take hours to upload your snaps”.
  • INQ’s real life trials of the device show even with heavy usage, the battery will last between 1 and 1.5 days, which makes it better than some smartphones on the market today that struggle to complete a business day.

The device is pretty much ready (from the manufacturer’s point of view), so we should see it being released on 3UK soon.  We suspect it’ll either be in the December catalogue, or the January 2010 Catalogue, ready for the New Year Sales, but we’ll let you know once we hear an exact date.
