haha, wow, nanotice yung ring hehe :D my dad has the same kind of ring; he was an airforce officer kasi, anyway :D
Wow, first reaction; “phone-minibook crossover”, Pero kahit ganun, asteeg to sir Yuga. If there was a version of this with a “Xenon Flash”, God, I would want to buy this one; imagine, I can blog away when I’m in starbucks (care of wi-fi)and take pictures worth blogging about at the same time! wah!
for a computer, this one’s an underdog;
for a smartphone, this one’s THE DOG.
(ok mejo exagg na ako,)
Sir Yuga update mo kami sa “feel” of this hot gadget :D
