Cherry Mobile Magnum 2X Review

We know that this may be out-dated by all standards but we never really had the chance to do a full review of the dual-core smartphone from Cherry Mobile locally known as the Magnum 2X. Now that we have a review unit from the Philippine-based cellphone manufacturer, we thought to give it a fair airtime.

BlackBerry Playbook Review

We’re all too familiar with Android tablets and the iPad so when we were introduced to the BlackBerry Playbook with its own mobile operating system, we paused for a while to re-think the UI, navigation and over-all usability. Read our full review of RIM’s BlackBerry Playbook after the jump.

I’m ready to quit my iPhone 3G

I’ve been on prepaid since I got a mobile phone ten years ago. The only time I was convince to get into a postpaid plan was when I got an iPhone 3G subscription plan from Globe. And for the last 12 months, I thought it was well worth it.

Verzio Duplii Review: A closer look at the dual-SIM phone

November last year, Verzio launched two dual-SIM mobile phones in the Philippines. One is the 3G capable Duplii and the other is the stylus touting Twinn. This month, I got to extensibly check out the Verzio Duplii for several weeks and here’s what I think about it.

Finally gave in to the Nokia 6233


Last Friday, I finally bought a new 3G phone. I initially wanted to get the Nokia N73 as it looks really nice but the feature-set wasn’t that impressive for its price. Yeah, there’s that nice megapixel camera but I don’t need one on a phone. The only other feature I really liked about it was the horizontal view — good for internet browsing.

But alas, it was slower than my old and buggy N3230 so I ditched it. Next in line was the N6233. I just wanted 3G capability and for only Php12,900 (cash) it was a steal for me. See full specs here.

Nokia 6233

Haven’t fully discovered all the functionalities of this one but my initial impression was great. The phone was surprisingly fast, with almost unnoticeable delays in loading the basic texting or calling functions.

Got this one at MOA. Will post a more detailed review once I’ve tested all the neat features.

P.S.
Smart’s OTA setup of GRPS/3G settings isn’t supported yet so I had to call *888 support to get their tech guys to give me the settings, which until now, 72 hours later, still hasn’t arrived.

Google’s GMail Mobile Email App

Last Thursday, Google announced a new Mobile Java Application based for GMail. This mobile client can be downloaded and installed in a lot of supported handheld devices.

Gmail users can already access their accounts through the browser on their mobile devices, but this application brings users the same great Gmail experience — complete with search, conversation view, and automatic synchronization with the desktop version — with the following new benefits:

* Up to five times faster access and use, thanks to automatic pre-fetching of messages
* Drastically reduced clicks and scrolling to access email
* Fewer keystrokes for reading, composing, or searching mail
* Attachments, including files and photos, viewable and automatically resized to fit the user’s phone

I wanted to blog about it then but I was trying to access gmail.com/app to download the client on my Nokia 3230 but it seems my GPRS settings would not work. I tried downloading the new settings for SmartInternet/SmartGPRS today and was able to successfully install the Java app.

Mobile Gmail

Yes, it’s faster indeed, and the interface is mobile-friendly. I’d usually get a notice to “use network to connect” which is kinda bug me for a while but checking and replying to emails is way easier than before. And, with Smart’s GPRS rate of Php10 per 30 minutes, this beats going to the net cafe to check your GMail.
