After the successful launch of Blackberry Storm/Thunder (whatever you call it), tech-savvy individuals and geeks might want to take a look into the features and full specifications of the new Blackberry Bold 9000 smartphone (which is already available in the Philippines through Smart and Globe postpaid plans). Prices of Blackberry Bold in the Philippines range from Php54,000-56,000 or about $1,150-1,200. On Ebay, Blackberry Bold 9000 units are sold on auction (bid starting from PhP45,000 or $960).

Globe Telecom’s iPhone 3G Prepaid Kits/Plans in the Philippines
Globe Telecom offers prepaid kits/plans for the iPhone 3G, not just postpaid iPhone 3G plans in the Philippines. This gives possible subscribers more choices. Business-wise, this is Globe’s way of making iPhone 3G more saleable in the Philippines because many Pinoy cell phone addicts are already complaining about the high prices of Globe-powered iPhone 3G in the Philippines. The sad thing is, there is a 2-year lock-in period for all the iPhone 3G plans of Globe (prepaid and post-paid).
Globe Telecom’s iPhone 3G Plans in the Philippines Are Expensive
As a follow up to the article preceding this one titled “Unlocked iPhone 3G in the Philippines Would be Better for Cell Phone Users“, the new Globe iPhone 3G Plans in the Philippines include free Mobile Internet and Wi-Fi hours. But don’t get too excited because you might find the prices of these Globe iPhone 3G plans way too expensive. Yes, for average cell phone users in the Philippines, the Globe iPhone 3G plans are very expensive and I would not recommend it to anyone I know.
Unlocked iPhone 3G in the Philippines Would Be Better for Cell Phone Users
The iPhone 3G in the Philippines is exclusively distributed by Globe Telecom through post-paid plans. This means that iPhone 3G in the Philippines are not unlocked to avail of other services offered by other networks like Smart Telecoms and Sun Cellular. Cell phone buyers do not have a choice but to give in to Globe Telecom’s rates if they buy an iPhone 3G in the Philippines. However, there is a huge possibility that unlocked iPhone 3G mobile phone units could be sold in the Philippines in the near future. Here are the reasons why:
New Features in iTunes 8: Genius Playlist, Genius Sidebar and HD TV Shows
If you have been playing around with Apple iTunes 7 (or should I say using iTunes), then iTunes 8 offers great features you don’t want to miss. First off, it offers a Genius Playlist where it automatically creates a playlist from compatible songs depending on your selection.
According to Apple, iTunes 8′s Genius Playlist “is a brilliant way to create perfect playlists. Play a song, click the Genius button, and iTunes creates a playlist of other songs from your library that go great together. iTunes 8 Genius playlists help you discover songs in your library you never knew you had — and rediscover forgotten favorites.”
New Apple iPod Touch Specifications and Features
Apple is on a roll with its new products like the New iPod Nano-Chromatic (8Gb and 16Gb), iPhone 3G and now, the iPod Touch. Specifications and features of these gadgets are really fantastic but not perfect. They have flaws too like the iPhone 3G’s vulnerability, among others. I just wish all of these gadgets are already available in the Philippines so I can avoid placing orders on Ebay for a New iPod Touch. The prices of New iPod Touch starts at $299. In the Philippines, that would cost around Php 13,200 minimum. But when it hits the stores in the Philippines, I suspect they would cost between Php 15000-20000.
For the technical specs of the New iPod Touch, here are they:
Size and weight
Height:
4.3 inches (110 mm)
Width:
2.4 inches (61.8 mm)
