I’ve been traveling around Mindanao these past few months and, to keep myself connected to the Internet I’ve been bringing along my Globe Tattoo broadband device. No matter where I am, and even if I’m on vacation, I can’t imagine not being able to connect to my email, social networking services, etc., so I don’t [...]
So far, I’ve been quite happy with my SmartBro Plug-It USB modem — in several areas in Davao City, I do get sustained download speeds of up to 60-70kbps. (Only certain areas have cellsites that are enabled with HSDPA.) At a charity concert where I volunteered as amateur videographer, I used SmartBro as my Internet [...]

It can be extremely stressful for businesspeople in these uncertain times. To put more time and energy on work may seem like the most practical way to survive and succeed in the global financial crisis, but doing so can also take its toll. Play and relaxation are much needed after a long day of [...]
No matter how splendid Apple® headsets are, sometimes your ears get sore when you have earphones plugged into them for too long. Sometimes you want to be surrounded by perfect-sounding tunes without being aurally isolated from the world.
You’re the type who likes things portable and compact (which also refers to what you spend for them). [...]
The Symbian S60 on the Nokia N-Series mobile phones offers a wide range of applications that are Internet-enabled. Here are the apps that I currently have on my Nokia N82.
One of my favorites: Nimbuzz. Basically, it’s a chat program that consolidates your accounts on Yahoo! Messenger, Google Talk, AIM/ICQ, and a few others into one [...]
In this age of high technology, you find an increasing number of people with more than just cellular phones — there are PSPs, iPods, smart devices with a huge identity crisis (are they phones or cameras or something else entirely?), and there are more to come for sure.
Suffice it to say that we are now [...]
After romancing the awesome Nokia N82 for nearly four months, WOM World is now asking for it back… (sigh) However, I’ve gotten yet another mobile phone: the N96. While the N82, like I’ve mentioned before, is a camera phone, the N96 is reportedly a video phone. This I have to see.
I’ll take some videos and [...]
I am lucky that I was accepted as a reviewer of gadgets by a global distributorship of mobile phones. Several times a year, I receive Nokia units (cellular phones and paraphernalia) from WOM World for review, and for participating in Nokia-specific programs. I just wish I’d get phones from Samsung (the Omnia would be nice!) [...]
The Nokia N82 is one impressive mobile camera phone. While its predecessor, the N81, was a rather klunky music phone, the N82 definitely lives up to expectations.
Case in point: the N82 5-megapixel camera is equipped with Carl Zeiss optics, Xenon flash, autofocus, plus a secondary CIF camera in front for video calls.
