Samsung Monte S5620 goes for Php11,000

(Update: Read our Samsung Monte Review) A new touchscreen phone from Samsung is now out and selling for just Php11,000. The Samsung S5620 (Monte) has everything but the price should shake up the competition.

Last time we saw touchscreen phones selling within the vicinity of Php11,000 was with the LG Cookie and Samsung Star, both of which were huge hits.

    GREAT PHONE:

    if you want to maximize the use of GPS

    Repost:

    In phone settings > GPS settings > GPS+ settings > download data. After download is complete, press back to GPS Position > satellite status. You’ll get all the satellites available in your area. Press back and you’ll get your coordinates.

    set the auto download to ‘On’ in GPS+ settings in order to get ‘My location’ in Google Map.

    Im very disappointed sa samsung monte. Meron ba sa inyo nakaexperience na nagrerestart ung cp nila for unknown reason? May kakilala din ako na may samsung monte at ganun din daw naexperience nya. Pinalitan ung board nya at nireformat naman ung sakin ng mas upgraded OS pero pareho pa din nagrerestart ung cp namin.

    Any advice?

    i have this phone. ganda. di ako nagsisisi na binili ko to. very responsive ang touch screen compare sa mga mga nahawakan ko nang phone. :) 8.5/10 ang rating ko. hindi kasi nag qwerty ang pag nilandscape mo pag nagtetext.
