Apple iPad Hitting Stores on April 3, Pre-Order Starts March 12 – For U.S. Only!
Why Apple? Why are you not including our humble country from the list of countries where your magical Apple iPad will make an appearance soon? Most of us Pinoy geeks love Apple products. We’ve patronized the iPhone, iPod Touch, Nanos, Mac’s, iMacs and even the faulty Magic Mouse. So, how come you’re not making the iPad available to us the same day that other countries will be getting it? Read more
Globe BlackBerry Bold 9700 Review
With already two weeks of using the BlackBerry Bold 9700 which I got through Globe Telecom’s BlackBerry Plan Php1599, it’s just about the right time to come up with a review. This review will be centered on the Bold 9700’s features and functionality as applied to Philippine setting. For a more general review, please check out this article.
Now on with my Globe BlackBerry Bold 9700 review: Read more
Sony Ericsson is Sending a Filipino Flag Bearer to FIFA World Cup
Got this from my email inbox and thought some of you who stumble upon this blog will find this interesting and perhaps join the contest as well. It’s Sony Ericsson’s gig that will send a Filipino child ages 10-16 years to be a flag bearer during the FIFA World Cup. Details and full information on how to join the contest follow after the jump. Good luck folks!
BlackBerry Bold 9700 Unboxing Photos, First Impressions
So Globe Telecoms finally informed me that they got a stock of BlackBerry Bold 9700 for me. I wasted no time in claiming it and so after some paperworks since I got the unit under the Globe BlackBerry Plan 1599 (cash out is 4,500+ for first month MSF and unit cost). Read more
Globe Offers the BlackBerry Bold 9700 for Free!
Of course there’s a catch to the title of this post and that is to get the latest and possibly the best BlackBerry device to date, the Bold 9700 you have to shell out at least Php 3,799 a month for 24 months lock-in period. The lowest BlackBerry Plan would cost you Php 1,599 monthly with a 24-months lock-in period. If you don’t want to get tied-up on a 24 binding contract, you can get the BlackBerry Bold 9700 unlock for Php 28, 995.
If there is such a thing as Gadget Acquisition Syndrome (GAS), there must be a SAS (Smartphone Acquisition Syndrome) as well. And I think I’m getting hit by it badly. In other words I want this BlackBerry Bold 9700 and I want it now.

Finally, the Apple Magic Mouse that Costs Me Php4K
So, after 15 days my Apple Magic Mouse finally arrived. I ordered it from the online Apple Store (US) and had it delivered to my favorite Johnny Air Cargo. Ironically, right after I ordered, I’ve heard that more stocks came in to various Apple resellers, with prices ranging from Php 3,500 – up. Read more
Google Nexus One Owners in the Philippines
So I was searching for other Google Nexus One users in the Philippines and so far I can only name three bloggers who got their Nexus One. Abe Olandres of Yugatech.com got his a couple of days ago and so is Aileen Apollo of An Apple a Day. I wonder if she got it free from Google? And of course yours truly who got it two weeks ago.
Google Nexus One Review Philippines
So after a couple of days using the Google Nexus One, I guess it’s time to come up with a review. This post is actually a shorter version of the full review that I published here. This is more of an initial comment, view on the Nexus One that will most probably answer the queries of those who are planning to take the “hard route” of geting this precious Google phone despite the fact that it is not yet available for sale in other countries other than U.K., U.S., Hong Kong and Singapore.
So here goes, my quick review of the Google Nexus One in the Philippines: Read more
Google Nexus One Arrives in the Philippines, Unboxing Photos
Finally, after 10 days of waiting, my Google Nexus One arrived this afternoon via Johnny Air Cargo. In case you’re wondering how I was able to get it shipped via Johnny Air, the work-around was suggested by Yugatech. But instead of using MyUSMailbox, I used Johnny Air Cargo instead since I’ve already coursed several of my Amazon orders through them and I did not experience any hitches.
To cut the long story short, I got my Google Nexus One. And just like a child who just received a new toy, I was overwhelmed by the fact that I am now a proud owner of a Google Android Phone.
The Nexus One one works fine with my 3G postpaid sim. But I haven’t really tested the 3G functionality. I tried connecting to the Internet using 3G but kept on getting errors. Will have to take a closer look into this issue as this might be the same issue encountered by others who have the unlocked Google Nexus One.
But if you hooked it up to the Internet via 3G, the phone runs well. Android is definitely fast.
I’m loving the interface as well. The apps icon are smaller than the iPhone apps icons but both look sleek. Downloading apps from the Android Market was a breeze as well. I quickly downloaded and installed Twidroid app and it runs great.
So, far, I’m loving it. If the iPhone is like a high-end version of a Nokia fun mobile phone, the Google Nexus One is more like a Sony Ericsson. Geeks would definitely love it.
Will post a detailed review as soon as I get to play with the Google Nexus One in the next few days. In the meantime, here are some more photos. Read more
