Why hello, Nokia. Another classic phone is on the display stands folks and this time it is the Nokia 6600i slide. The phone comes in Nokia’s classic conservative design with brushed steel and chrome complementing its set of features: 2.2 inch LED display, 5MP camera, and 3G connectivity support. The 6600i slide also makes use of “tap alerts” allowing you ro reject calls and snooze the phone by merely tapping the screen. Perfect if you’re in the middle of a meeting.

In the PH, the phone goes for PHP 13,950 which is roughly equivalent to USD $300.00.

Reminiscent of my Wing Commander days, I haven’t come across a really good space simulation game, save for the time Freelancer came out for the PC. Although it was more of a space shoot em up brought in by Microsoft, it made me miss simulator based games.

And who would have known that Plasq would quell these geeky desires. Known for their popular Comic Life and Skitch apps for OS X, they pulled this one out of the hat thus proving that they can make kick ass games as well for the iPhone and iPod touch. Pharos IV: Assault is …read more

Amidst the kick ass product launches from Nokia Connection 2009, I almost forgot to mention the new Nokia 3710 Fold, which forms part of the latest S40 device offerings of Nokia. Off the bat, it is really thin and considered to be a mid-range 3G unit with a 3.2 MP camera but we won’t be seeing this baby till Q4. I don’t know what’s extremely special about this device (I mean, what makes it worthy of a Q4 announcement?) except for its really thin form factor.

Perhaps the best thing about Skullcandy’s packaging is that the blisterpack wrap can easily be removed by yanking open both sides. Unlike other types of blister packaging which require vigorous feats with your hands and maybe a cutter or scissors, this one was easily opened within 20 seconds. For that alone, I give it two thumbs up!

But seriously, Skullcandy headphones deliver the promise of being all candy around your head. I’ve heard reviews saying that in general, the headphones have very good bass and mid levels, and so-so in the highs. I found this to be true after donning the …read more

Today I attended the launch of Nokia Connect 2009 — presented here is the video demo of the E72 where we talk about the new features, the scrolling user interface, the aesthetics, and of course, the comparison with the predecessor, Nokia E71.

Overall, the E72 is a welcome upgrade from the previous year. The E71 was already a kick ass device when it was launched, and it still is to this very day. The most tempting features that may force you to get the E72 would be the inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack, which made debut with the E63 and …read more

I’ve just been handed a China made TORQUE C100, their entry level phone that has both Bluetooth and a VGA camera. But the most peculiar feature of the C100 is that the battery it uses is exactly the same as th BL-5C batts from Nokia. Interesting.

The logic behind this is simple. In the entry level market, spare parts are always in demand, and knowing that the TORQUE C100’s battery is compatible with the BL-5C makes finding accessories easier. I don’t think there’s any exclusive use clause for the battery, none I’m aware of. [source]
