Sun Cellular’s Name Ur Number Sim: Choose your own number!
Maja Salvador and Solenn Heussaff for Sun Cellular

Sun invited us over at one of their stores and they just unveiled some of their products this year. One of their exciting products for this year is the Name ur Number Prepaid Sim. This is just one of their exciting products this year aside from having Solenn Heussaff as their newest Brand Ambassador. I know Solenn is too hot but let’s talk about the Name ur Number Sim from Sun. We all know that they’ve introduced the unlimited texting and calling before and now, It’s another first from Sun Cellular. So what’s up with this thing? Check it out after the break

From the name itself, the Name Ur Number Sim lets you choose your own number. And no, you don’t need a postpaid plan for that. All you need is P59 and commute to the nearest Sun shop out there. And then once you inserted your Name Ur Number Sim on your phone, you can choose any number that you want as long as the number is available. 
You can choose the last 6 digits of your number but you either have to choose if you want a 0942 or 0943 and then followed 8 or 9. Be it 0943-9-SO-POGI, 0942-8-I-KIKAY or 0943-8-INLOVE. The Name ur Number Sim also comes with 200 Sun Texts, 200 texts to other networks and 70 minutes of Sun Calls. All that for P59. If you’re planning on getting one then better hurry up because someone else might have your chosen number. And I also heard that the name ur Number Sim sells like hotcake.

Blackberry Z10 and Q10 Unveiled

Blackberry Z10 and Q10 Unveiled
Blackberry Z10 and the Blackberry Q10

After the long wait, the Blackberry Z10 and the Blackberry Q10 has finally been unveiled. I got the chance to attend the launch party here in the Philippines at Makati but I didn’t stayed there until the end of the livestream. Blackberry announced 2 devices at the launch of the Blackberry 10 OS. They unveiled the Blackberry Z10 which is a full touch device and the Blackberry Q10 which is a QWERTY Device with a square touch-screen which is kinda unorthodox. Want to know more about the devices? Check it out after the break.

Blackberry was known for having devices with a nice QWERTY keyboard. I thought they’ll ditch it in favor of on-screen keyboard. Instead, they included both the QWERTY and the touch screen on the Blackberry Q10. Nice move Blackberry. Some people still want to have a physical QWERTY on their devices especially on devices like Blackberry which are made for messaging.

The Blackberry Q10 is the device for the people who still want a physical keyboard on their device. It has a touchscreen 3.1-inch 720×720 display which is very odd. There’s the Bold-inspired physical keyboard. It has a dual-core Krait chipset. They should’ve made it a quad-core. It has a steel frame and edge-to-edge glass on the front.

The Blackberry Z10 is their newest flagship phone. It has a 4.2-inch 1280×768 display. Not bad at all. There’s a 8-megapixel camera which is enough for your multimedia needs. There’s the microSD SD slot and 16 GB Storage just like the Q10. And yeah. The Q10 and the Z10 are pretty much similar in terms of specs

The question still remains for Blackberry. Can it bring back Blackberry back to its former glory?

iPad now comes in 128 GB

iPad now comes in 128 GB

So you want to replace your laptop with a brand new, sparkling and shiny iPad? If you are not opting for an iPad just because of the low storage then worry no more because the new iPad 128 GB is here! Yep, a brand new iPad 128 GB is coming to empty out your pockets filled with kachings kachings $$$. I still wonder why Apple can’t wait for the refresh of the iPad before upgrading the memory. Not to mention, the entry level Macbook Air is still at 64 GB. But of course, the iPad doesn’t have a 128 GB in real life. They’ll trim a little bit of that big storage. Want to know the price of the 128 GB? Check it out after the break.

The iPad 128 GB is priced at $799 and $929 for the Wi-Fi version and the cellular version respectively which is quite pricey. It isn’t available yet in the Philippines but when it arrives here, my guess estimate is at P38,000 and P44,000. If you are the type of guy who loves to install a lot of apps and if you are a movie junkie then I recommend you to buy this one. It is expected to arrive in the US stores this February 5. I don’t why they made a bold move like this. Maybe they just want to increase those dwindling stocks. Oh and if you didn’t know yet, Apple has lose its title of being the most valuable company in the world. Poor Apple.

Cherry Mobile Omega Specifications and Price: The Biggest and Meanest Cherry Mobile Android phone

Cherry Mobile Omega Specifications and Price: The Biggest and Meanest Cherry Mobile Android phone

Here’s the phone that every Cherry Mobile fan have been waiting for. The Cherry Mobile Omega is here! They finally revealed the Jelly Bean powered Android Smartphone after they teased us for some time. So what can we expect on this phone? It has a pretty large screen that can catch up with most phablets out there but do remember that this phone doesn’t have a HD screen. Just a WVGA (800×480). But why in the world would you expect a large resolution on this phone? This phone will be available at a very affordable price. The Cherry Mobile Omega also packs a dual-core just like the other Android phones of Cherry Mobile. Want to know more about the Cherry Mobile Omega? Click read more for more information.

I haven’t tried this phone yet but by just looking into the picture and the screen size, this phone would be very gigantic. Its screen size can match up with the Samsung Galaxy Note II and most 2013 flagship phone since they are expected to sport 1080p 5-inch screens. The other thing that I like about this phone is that Jelly Bean powers the phone. I love Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. It’s faster than the old Android versions.

Some people say that 5-inch phones are too big. I have to disagree. It would still depend on the person who’ll use the smartphone. And in my opinion, larger screens are much better for browsing the web and playing games. And speaking of games, this phone packs a dual-core processor which is already enough to play the latest games on the Play Store without a hitch.

There’s the large 2300 mAh battery too which I think can suffice more than a day of battery life. There’s a 5 Megapixel Rear camera and a VGA front camera that can be use for Skype. And just like its brothers, the phone will have a 512 MB RAM and a 4 GB internal memory. Don’t worry guys, you can put a MicroSD that can support up to 32 GB. And yes, there’s Dual-Sim on the phone too. Awesome right?

Temple Run 2 is now available on Android!

If you have an Android device or an iOS device, I’m pretty sure that you’ve downloaded Temple Run if your device can run it. If you don’t have a capable device, well, I think you’ve played it on your friend’s device. This is one of the most popular games created for mobile devices. I remember when this game was release in Android, I got addicted to it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab. I played that game for hours but I still suck at that game. Anyway, Imangi Studios released Temple Run 2 almost a week ago on iOS and then they promised that they’ll release Temple Run 2 for Android a week after. And here it is as promised. It is now available on Android and as expected, it has a much better graphics. It’s fast and I didn’t experience any lags on my Samsung Galaxy S3. Want to download it on your Android device? Check out the link after the break.

There’s only one problem on the Temple Run 2 V1.0 for Android. There’s no exit button on the app so you’ll have to use the home button to exit the game. I didn’t have any issues aside from that but I’m very sure that Imangi Studios will fix that on their next update. So you want to download the Temple Run 2 but you can’t find Temple Run 2 on the Play store? Here, check this link. Not all devices can run Temple Run 2 so better check if your device can run Temple Run 2

Cherry Mobile Cruize Specifications and Price: The affordable Gigantic Smartphone

Cherry Mobile doesn’t get tired releasing a lot of Android phones lately. I think they want to release an Android phone every month. And earlier today, they just announced the rumoured Cherry Mobile Cruize (Not the Chevy one!). The Cherry Mobile Cruize is one heck of a monster with a very very very affordable price. Yes, the price of this phone is very near to the Cherry Mobile Flare. This gigantic phone packs a 5.2″ Capacitive touch screen which I think is a WVGA screen. And yes, this is bigger than the Cherry Mobile Titan and very close to the Samsung Galaxy Note. The only thing that I hate about the Cherry Mobile Cruize is that this one uses a Single core Processor. Quite disappointing since most Android phones that was released recently by Cherry Mobile are mostly dual-cores. But if you’re just the type of guy or a gal who just want to play some light games, browse the internet on a gigantic screen, chit chat on Facebook and posting status on Twitter. One thing that you gotta love about this phone is the large battery capacity.  Check out the white paper after the break

The Cherry Mobile Cruize packs a 2500mAh battery which I think can last long even though it has a very large screen thanks to the low resolution and the single core processor. But of course, this is just the specs. A real life tests would prove how long the battery can last. Don’t fret about the processor my friends because the Cherry Mobile Cruize got a Dual-Sim, 5 megapixel camera and a VGA front camera, 4 GB of storage with MicroSD slot, 3G and it is powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. Not bad. So if you’re the type of person who just wants to have a larger screen and doesn’t care about the processing power of the phone then you might want to check this phone out because this one is a very affordable device for P4,499. Not bad Cherry Mobile. I wish you could release a Quad-Core processor phone this year.

Smart LTE is now available at Plan 1299!

Smart LTE is now available at Plan 1299!

Good news! LTE now comes in a new more affordable Plan 1299! The announcement of LTE was one of the most exciting tech news last year. Both Globe and Smart announced and launched their LTE services last year. For those people who doesn’t know how LTE can affect your boring internet lives, the Smart LTE can theoretically bring up to 42 mbps of internet wirelessly in some spots in Metro Manila. In real life tests, the speeds that you can mostly get with LTE is at around 20-40 mbps. Not bad at all. I believe that is 4x-20x faster than your most wired internet connection at home. But of course this service comes with a data cap. If you love to download movies, games or whatever large files you have there to download. Then I recommend that you just use your wired connection. Anyway, do you want to know more about the Smart LTE Plan 1299? Check out the details after the break

Cheaper plans comes with smaller data caps. If you just love to have a fast internet and you don’t surf that much and download too much then you might want to choose the Plan 1299. Here’s the plan details:

The Smart LTE modem comes free so you don’t have to worry about that one time payment. I feel that the 5 GB of data per month is too small but if you’re just into checking your E-mails, Twitter and Facebook then this would be great for you. Since this is an affordable plan, this plan would be great for students too. Oh and before you get a Smart LTE plan, Be sure to check your area if you’re covered with LTE.

Want to know more? Check out the Smart LTE here.

Samsung Galaxy S II Plus Specifications and Price in the Philippines: Same design with more Jelly Bean

Samsung Galaxy S II is one of the most popular Smartphones back in 2011 and it was succeeded by the Samsung Galaxy S III the following year. And just as expected, it was one of the best selling smartphones of Samsung. To give you some refresh, the Samsung Galaxy S II has a 4.3-inch WVGA screen which was considered big that time. (And now, 4.3-inch is too small for some people). Anyway, the Samsung Galaxy S II is powered by a Dual-Core Exynos processor. This one has the 1.2 GHz processor but they didn’t announce the specific processor on this one. I hope that it will be the Exynos or better. But I doubt that it will be better. There only a few difference between the original SGSII and this one. This one has Android 4.1 Jelly Bean already and this one will have a zero shutter lag so you can take a lot of photos and you don’t need to wait for it. The support for MicroSD is now up to 64 GB while the storage is down to 8 GB from 16 GB. So much for that plus on the name.

ASUS announces the Asus Vivotab Smart: Windows 8 Tablet at P26k!

Another Windows 8 tablet was announced that’ll arrive in the Philippines with a very affordable price tag. The Asus Vivotab Smart is a Windows 8 tablet powered by Intel Atom Z2760 which can be found on Samsung ATIV Smart PC and the one that I recently had a hands-on, the Acer Iconia Tab W510. I’ve said this before and I’ll share it again, this is a Full Windows 8 tablet and not Windows RT. The Vivotab Smart can run legacy x86 applications. In plain and simple English, you can play your old games or old applications on this tablet unlike Surface RT which can only play and use apps from the Windows Store.

The Asus Vivotab Smart got a 10.1-inch with 1366×768 display. If you are an iPad 3 or 4 user. Don’t worry guys, it doesn’t suck that much from what I experience on other Windows 8 tablets. The Asus Vivotab Smart also has an optional Transleeve keyboard that magnetically combines screen protection and a wireless keyboard. I guess the Transleeve keyboard acts just like the Smart Cover of iPad.

ASUS Vivotab Smart Specifications

  • 10.1-inch LED IPS Backlit-Display (1366×768)
  • Intel® Atom™ Z2760 Dual Core CPU @ 1.8GHz
  • 64 GB Storage with 32 GB ASUS Webstorage
  • 8 Megapixel Rear Camera w/ LED Flash and 2 Megapixel Front Camera
  • Wi-Fi
  • Bluetooth
  • NFC
  • Micro HDMI
  • Micro USB
  • MicroSD Card Reader
  • Windows 8

It will be available in the Philppines this Q1 in Black & White for P25,995. Not bad Asus. If you want some more storage and a lot less of iPad and more of a Windows 8, this is good one.
