We’ve had over a dozen high-end phones reviewed and tested in the last couple of months, including the yet-to-be-released Samsung Galaxy S4. We gathered a lot of them and ranked each one based on their Quadrant and Antutu Benchmark scores.
There are already a number of WiFi-enabled SD cards like EyeFi but they’re still very expensive. PQI is doing another approach in making SD cards accessible wirelessly — make the portable card reader WiFi capable.
Lats week’s @geekynights show introduced us to the Motorola Razr i (XT890) which is one of the very few Intel-powered Android smartphones in the market. It’s been released in the US about two quarters ago but never officially arrived in the country.
Windows 8 is still in its adoption stage, but we’re already seeing tons of pushes from manufacturers such as Samsung. The Korean company takes a shot with an Ultrabook – one with a touchscreen in the form of the Series 5 Ultra Touch. Is it worth your money? Check out our review after the break.
Four months after we gave you guys a sneak preview of the Ascend P1, Huawei Philippines has finally announced the arrival of their dual-core, SGS2-looking handset. With this late announcement, we can’t help but wonder if this is a case of “too little, too late” for the promising Ascend P1.
It’s been raining the entire week but the last two days have been the heaviest. Majority of the areas in Metro Manila and nearby areas are flooded. Suspension of classes, work and gov’t offices have been raised since this morning. We’ve collated all important online information you can refer to for efforts during situations like [...]
Nokia continues to churn out a lot of feature phones and has recently been very active in offering dual-SIM handsets. The latest one is the Nokia Asha 305 which retails for Php3,890.
Finally received the PS Vita I earlier ordered via the Multiply Marketplace and managed to unbox and play with it before my flight to Europe earlier this week. It has been a while since I used one like this (got a PSP a couple of years ago but rarely used it) so I was a [...]
It’s been a long time since we had a contest that’s focused on our fellow bloggers. So this one’s in partnership with Globe and we’ll be giving away a couple of cool gadgets to help promote new mobile service called My Apps Mall.

Smart Comm. is set to announce its own branded Android phone called the Smart Netphone, a Froyo handset originally manufactured as the ZTE Blade.
Looks like Alcatel Philippines also has their own dual-SIM Android smartphone called the OneTouch Blaze Duo 890D. It has a suggested retail price but Alcatel is giving it for an introductory price of Php4,999.
Looks like Nokia wants to redeem itself and will be doing another sale this December 4. And this time, they’re promising up to 70% off on several handsets, including the C6 they put on sale a few weeks back.
[Updated: Read our full review of the SE Xperia X10 ] Finally gotten my hands on the new Sony-Ericsson Xperia X10 and this was after visiting at least four SE stores in the Metro. Either this handset is very in demand or Sony-Ericsson just didn’t ship in enough units to sell.

Microsoft has finally announced the SKUs of their upcoming OS, Windows 7. The line-up didn’t come as a surprise but it sure does tell us MS learned from their mistakes with Vista.
The last quarter numbers from Microsoft are out and it’s not looking very good. As such, Microsoft has announced it will lay off 5,000 workers in the next 18 months including the 1,800 it sent out the door earlier today.
I wonder why Nokia Philippines isn’t offering this to other WiFi-capable NSeries phones but they keep on giving away free wifi from Airborne Access to owners of Nokia E66 and E71.
The New Year’s blog entry of Joey Alarilla over at CNET Asia was titled “Filipinos taking over blogosphere“. Found it from The Blogging Journalist who read it from Duncan Riley himself. The term “taking over” seemed too sensational to me. Actually, what we did was basically join the mainstream western blogosphere, nothing more. There are [...]
