I don’t plan to buy an Apple iPhone anytime soon. A new product is bound to have bugs. I should know. I bought the entry level white macbook and I’ve been to Apple Support 5 times. So if you’re not ready to shelve out $600.00 yet, you might as well fool your current phone into believing it is an iphone. And pretend it’s an iphone.

GLOBE Telecoms now offersoffer Globe Mobile Broadband 3G with HSDPA.
It is better and more powerful than 3G. On top of the regular 3G services like Video Call and Multimedia Streaming, HSDPA allows for high-speed Internet browsing of up to 1.4 Mbps (megabits/second), with peaks of up to 1.8 Mbps – rather than the previous 384 kbps (kilobits/second) available on 3G. With an HSDPA data card for example, browsing the Internet on your laptop will be up to 25 times faster than dial-up speeds.
From being the first in the Philippines to offer GSM/SMS, Video Call, and Video IDD, Globe is now the 1st mobile network operator in the Asia Pacific region to have deployed a commercial HSDPA service!
Globe has simultaneously launched 3G and a technology called High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA), also known as 3.5G. Globe Mobile Broadband integrates these two technologies and Globe now offers this to its subscribers. This technology drastically increases the download speeds of 3G networks, delivering speeds of up to 1.4 Mbps with peaks of up to 1.8 Mbps – rather than the maximum 384 kilobits/sec. offered by regular 3G.
From May 5 till May 7, GLOBE is offering zero interest plans on their Nokia N70, Well of course, they need to make it affordable so that 3 G services can be availed.
Like I said in an earlier post, my lost cellphone was recovered by some person named Ren. I was too scared to meet up with Ren because “he” wanted to meet me only in Fairview which is far from my school. I also got suspicious. So I told him that I can let my mother pick it up for me . I also got scared for my mom so I told her to bring some sort of “bodyguard”. I told her it’s a dude wearing blue uniform with glasses. My mom was totally surprised to find out Ren was a lovely girl. Me and my paranoia and stereotyping. I now realize that good people still live in this crazy world. She didn’t also accept reward money. The strange thing though is she found my cellphone in a taxicab but I was never rode a cab that day. So now, I am wondering how I lost my cellphone. Was it stolen in the jeepney, or at the fair or did I drop it somewhere and some dude picked it up?
I lost my cellphone last Friday while riding a jeepney from Ateneo to UP Campus. Yeah, two lost phones in a year. So I thought it was lost forever when I received a text message in my other cellphone . He said he found my phone in the jeepney. I’m getting it back on wednesday.
This is a useful site for those that use pre-paid phone cards. Yeah, you can now load your Cellphone online.
It’s quite convenient for SMART, Globe, Suncellular prepaid subscribers. You can also buy Cellphone cards, Game cards like Gunbound, Khan, MU, PristonTale, Level Up, SkyBlade,
Tantra , internet cards and phone cards.
I didn’t realize there are so many pre-paid cards for those online games. I guess it must be fun if played with a group of friends. But anyway….

I got this as an email forward and wonder if it’s true.
Just sharing stuff about your mobile phone that could be worth knowing
1) Emergency number
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112.
If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and
there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any
existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and
interestingly…this number112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked.
Try it out.
