Wet! Wet! Wet!

We were on an island tour from Batanes to Sabtang. These are the northernmost islands in the Philippines which means that storms and winds are magnified to an absurd level. I’ve heard of some horror stories of the small boats taking in loads of water at given points, but silly me, I went commando with […]

Lost Stylus? Get them at the flea market :)

How much do “legit” PDA styli cost? Around USD $10.00 right? I just find it funny how in the flea markets, you can get a stylus for almost any touch screen phone for roughly USD $2.00. These guys have a whole can of PDA styli hanging around, it makes me wonder how they got there. […]

Xenon Flash: the new thing with camera phones

First it was the accelerometer. Now it’s Xenon powered flash.
Nokia was probably the first in the Asian region to release a Xenon flash equipped camera phone with the Nokia N82. Now Sony Ericsson as well as Samsung have released their own versions of Xenon flash enabled phones as well. The demand for Xenon flash came […]

Wilson Electronics Cellphone signal booster

Patrick Norton and Kevin Rose demoed Wilson Electronics’ signal booster for mobile phones in episode 2/2/08 of Tekzilla. The signal booster is a solution to zero bar cellphone signal reception inside concrete structures.

Have you ever wondered what makes the iPhone recognize that you’re tilting its screen horizontally or vertically? Or what makes the new Sony Ericsson W760 browse through your music library with a firm shake?

R.I.P. Cellphone, I knew thee well.

“The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.” - Dave Barry
Alas, when the time comes where I will have no more use for my mobile phone, I will bid it farewell and cast it into the bowels of the Kursk Magnetic Anomaly in Russia. It’s true!

C228s Bayan “Wireless Landline”

I was sent over a HUAWEI CDMA-based C228s phone, aptly known as the “Bayan wireless landline.” With GSM being the primary network used for mobile phones in Asia, CDMA still has its niche. In the Philippines, the wireless landline concept has become a favorite among vendors and stall owners that don’t have access to a […]

Cute leather bags for your cellphone

Hey guys, I think these would make really good gifts for your significant other. You’re quite sure she has a mobile phone so why not get her a bag for it? I never understood how women can have a small purse and put it into another bag that’s just a wee bit bigger. It’s sorta […]

Some consumers are the perfect target for things like this. Nokia sent over an email a few days ago exposing how owners of NOKLA phones are sending them to NOKIA service centers for repairs. Because of the inferior design quality, these phones tend to break. The problem with consumers is that they tend to mistake […]
