BlackBerry Curve 3G 9300 Review

I’ve been using smartphones for more than half a decade now having tried almost all types of smartphones except for one, the BlackBerry. Five years ago, BlackBerry would be synonymous to enterprise phones. An ordinary consumer wouldn’t even dare to get one. But now, it’s totally different. You’d see normal people carrying a BlackBerry even if they don’t have an Outlook email. “CrackBerries” are so addicted with their phones. Check out our full review of the BlackBerry Curve 3G after the jump, my first for a BlackBerry smartphone.

PLDT DSL Subscribers get Free WiFi

Just got my latest PLDT DSL Billing today and found several brochures for a couple of promos on myDSL. One of them is labeled “Exclusive Rewards for myDSL Subscribers” which gives free unlimited internet access in over 500 wifi hotspots nationwide (of course, via Airborne Access).

If you are on any of the myDSL Biz package of the residential myDSL Xcel plan, you automatically get the free WiFi. If you are in one of the lower residential packages (Xcite, Xperience, Xtra Value Plan), there’s a monthly additional fee of Php199 per month. However, between now and April 25, 2007, you can get that for a promo price of Php99 and it will be effective for 6 months after activation after which the price goes back to Php199.

Still, if it’s an additional Php199 to my monthly subscription and I always go out with my laptop a lot, this is really good promo. Looks like their previous Smart WiFly promo for Smart Bro subscribers had good results so they’re offering the same to PLDT DSL subscribers.

Here’s how you activate your WiFi access:

Step 1: Go to www.mypad.net and click on WiFi Registration link

Step 2: Register. You will need to provide the ff: PLDT account number, telephone number, name, and email where they’ll send you your access codes.

Step 3: That’s it! Use the access codes to log on to any of the Airborne Access hotspots nationwide.
