Did you miss Spidey? Well, he’s back! But The Amazing Spider Man is a reboot of the franchise so don’t expect that Harry is already dead. Tobey isn’t playing Spidey anymore. The one who plays the role of Peter Parker is Andrew Garfield, the guy who played Eduardo Saverin on the Social Network.

| R9 Tough and R7 Vigor |
Last Thursday I was invited by Cherry Mobile for the Media launch of the two newest shockproof phones that will hit the market – R7 Vigor and R9 Tough. Both phones supports Dual SIM/Dual Standby and can withstand. Shocks against drop impacts as high as 1.5 meters. Along with those phones, Cherry Mobile introduced their newest ambassador, Mr. Robin Padilla
UPDATE: Some Pictures Added
I want to thank the guys at Cherry Mobile for the warm welcome. They’re so friendly and kind.

| Robin Padilla Endorses Cherry Mobile Shockproof phones |
We all know that Mr. Robin Padilla is the “Bad boy of Philippine Cinema”, He always have a tough role in action movies. Just like the new shockproof phones of Cherry mobile, R7 Vigor and R9 Tough are very tough.
R7 Vigor is a bar type of phone while the R9 Tough is a QWERTY phone. Both phones features a easy-grip rubber casing, Dual Sim/Dual Standby, loudspeaker, camera, FM Radio, Flashlight, MMS/WAP/GPRS, Bluetooth, Java/Built-in games and an expandable storage up to 4GB.

When I got the chance to hold the R7 vigor, the bar type shockproof phone of CM. I felt that the phone is heavy for its size maybe because of the shockproof feature. The phone feels comfortable to hold, thanks to the easy-grip rubber material. The R9 tough, the QWERTY one feels heavy and comfortable to hold too. The things that I notice on both phones are they are really tough…. and tough to open. You’ll need a screwdriver to open those back cover.

Cherry Mobile phone also offers new services such as Cherry Shop, Cherry Mail and Cherry Messenger. Cherry shop acts like the App store — You can download Apps, Games and Wallpapers for your cherry phone. Cherry Mail is Cherry Mobile’s email client for cherry phones while Cherry Messenger acts like a BBM of Blackberry and I heard they’re working on the data plans.

| R7 Vigor |
The phone is tough but the price is not that tough on the pocket. R7 Vigor has a SRP of PHP 1,999.00 while the R9 tough has a SRP of PHP 2,399.00. It is available in different colors. I believe that these prices are cheap for a shockproof phone.

| Nokia Philippines |
Here’s interesting news. Nokia has taken the title of being the Top brand in the Philippines. Nokia bested other top brands such as Nescafe, Lucky Me and Jollibee, among others according to Nielsen.
According to the survey, Nokia is the dominant market leader in the country, besting other top brands that are mostly categorized as Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG)
It is very interesting to see that a cellphone manufacturer bested other manufacturers producing food and drinks which are very essential in our lives.
One thousand respondents in randomly selected urban areas nationwide were asked through a face-to-face interview which one (1) brand of a specific product category they consider as their favorite brand. The ranking was then determined through the number of respondents who chose the brand.
The other brand giants that made it in Nielsen’s Top 10 brands list were Nescafe, Lucky Me, Energizer, Jollibee, Selecta, C2, Gatorade, Cobra, and SM Malls.

Yes, A smartphone has shot this music video, not a professional video camera nor a DSLR. Well, it is kinda surprising to see that they used a Smartphone for a music video. Hopefully in the future, DSLR will be replaced by Smartphones.
