According to the latest stats from Admob, the Nokia N70 still tops as the top handset used to connect to the web in the Philippines. This despite the fact that the model has already been discontinued for distribution.

The Nokia N70 took 9.2% share of ad request from the Admob network in the month of November 2009. here’s the top 10 handset in terms of usage for internet browsing:

Good post. I learn something more difficult on totally different blogs everyday. It would always be stimulating to read content material from other writers and apply a little one thing from their store. IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢d desire to make use of some with the content material on my blog whether or not you donÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t mind. Natually IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll give you a link in your internet blog. Thanks for sharing.

How much na po ngayon ang N70 I’am willing to buy one kasi easy lang sya. I used it last year sa pinsan ko. and I’m planning to buy one. do you know kung saan ako bibili?

Nokia is a mobile brand that offers user friendly handsets. That’s why this news is not really shocking.

@Yuga

Actually, the 5800XM isn’t nokia’s 1st touchscreen phone. Just saying ;)

Abe Olandres Editor-in-chief · 16 years ago

@ZJ – yes, I mentioned that in my 5800XM review. The first one came out 5 years ago but was immediately pulled off the shelf.

Oh well, I used to have an N70 but I did not use it for surfing the web. My 5800 XM does and it works just like a laptop or a desktop. Whenever I feel like not bringing my laptop, my 5800 is a good substitute as it is light and pocketable.

Surprising but let us give a round of applause to the ever-trusted N70.

It used to be the King of Convergence during its hey day in 2005. I can still remember the price when it came out, more than 30k!

Haha! How times have changed.

Onwards to technology revolution.

@Victor: i just finished doing my survey and the survey said your the only one spreading sh*t here..

most of the comments here are just based on reader’s opinions not necessarily fact(s), so if we somehow don’t agree with the article, it should be ok to share your comment(s), it’s not exactly spreading sh*t as you eloquently term it

Victor · 16 years ago

hats off to N70, I used to have the phone but I gave it to my brother. Handy, tama lang sa bulsa.. though minsan medyo malaki daw pero ok lang naman. No wonder it tops these stats.

guys guys, if you dispute the stats posted.. just do you own survey and dont spread sh*t.. okay? ^_^

Using the expensive 3G in the Philippines? geez.

Andre Marcelo-Tanner · 16 years ago

stats from where?

iamupset · 16 years ago

hmmm.. very intriguing.. most of the people i know who connect to the internet use smartphones and yet a lot of them somehow did not make it.. besides how can you win as THE MOST CONNECTED PHONE when the article said it only covers the month of November 2009

if you also notice a number of the mentioned phones are a bit outdated and not the most effective phone for browsing (except for the iphone/itouch). i think connected doesn’t necessarily mean browsing the internet rather connected to specific value added data services of telcos like SMART’s sandbox

Doodles · 16 years ago

I think there’s a little misunderstanding here. It meant the most share of “ad request from Admob network” and not internet connection in general. I use my e61i on wifi regularly and I don’t remember doing ad request from Admob at all. Maybe it also depends on which site you visit.

Most of these N70 users have OM installed on their phone. I wonder why? ;Ã¾
For me P990i is the best. I have been using mine for 3 years. oM, google maps, and mig33.
