What I did was to ‘unroot’ my phone and there it goes, I got the update notification

I downloaded the file, installed it on my phone, restarted, and done.. My phone now caries the official Froyo with HTC sense. I’m so happy!

i had the same problem before i got my phone. inisip ko rin mag samsung galaxy s. inaamin ko na masmaganda sa features ang samsung kasi:
* faster ang processing nya – playing doom in samsung is alot smoother than in the desire (pero im not into playing games)
* capable mag video call ang samsung galaxy s, sa htc desire walang video call – pero i never did use this feature on my old phone, and besides i have a second phone that can do video calls naman so i can just use that incase i need it
* mas magaan ang samsung galaxy
* malaki ang internal memory ng samsung galaxy s

pero pinili ko parin mag desire dahil:
* when i saw my friend’s galaxy, gawa lang pala sa plastic yung phone, it felt so cheap on my hands, parang hindi worth 32,000
* samsung does’t support their phones. I got a samsung jet august of last year, and until now wala silang nilalabas na new widget for it or any software update. baka pabayaan din nila yung galaxy. buti pa ang desire may froyo update, ang samsung wala (pa) at hindi ako sure kung magkakaron
* i dont like the icons ng galaxy, parang trying hard maging iphone kasi naka box din yung icons, plus pa side din yung sweep ng icons nila, parang sa iphone
* ang daming murang samsung na phone, and if my phone looked cheap because of the plastic, people might think na cheap din cya. iba kasi yung feel ng htc, rubber and metal siya kaya mukhang mahal

tingnan mo muna kung ano mas importante sayo. kasi i think both have their selling points, depende na sayo yon kung ano yung mas mahalaga sayo

I’m really excited to try this service so I tried to transfer 100 pesos from my paypal account to my gcash account…

The result was:

Thank you for using GCASH Online.

DUH!!!!

Only verified US PayPal accounts are allowed to use this online facility.

Well, yeah, I am not a Nokia Phone fan, but Nokia N900 will be my next phone (I’m addicted to mobile phones ok lol). Nah! I have been using a basic phone since last year, this is to accommodate my dual sim need.

But I guess using 2 SIMs at the same time is not that practical at all. So I decided to cancel one of the network’s plan that I am using as soon as it expires.

My need right now, is a smart phone that is capable of anything online . A fast machine that will keep me organized and will keep me connected to the internet whenever I need to, and a lot of things of course

I guess my intro is long enough lol! yeah, I have been eyeing on the Nokia N900. This is the first ever Nokia phone that I intent to buy, and I will buy it soon!!!!!

Why Nokia N900?

Nokia N900 Features and Specifications

(will update this post later)

So How much does Nokia N900 costs here in the Philippines? I already went to two stores so far, and here are their prices:

(Will update the store name later)

Store 1: Php27,000

Store2: 28,000

All in cash basis

Why buy the Myphone Q22 Qwerty Phone?

This is a cheap phone. If you are on a tight budget yet you want a dual SIM qwerty talk and text phone, then this phone is for you. As I mentioned earlier this is a super cheap phone, so don’t expect it to do a lot of things except for talk and texting (and then some).

I’m really sorry for the delay, my camera and video camera were stolen.
To be updated later……

But in case where the settings are not installed, you can get the settings here

To check if the settings are installed, go to Main menu – > Services -> Data Account – >GPRS

Basically, you should see entries like Smart MMS,Smart GPRS,myGlobe MMS,myGlobe GPRS etc etc…..

Assuming you have installed the correct settings, go to Main Menu -> Services -> WAP -> (Sim 1 or Sim2) – > Settings -> Edit Account -> (Sim 1 or Sim2) -> Select the appropriate settings for that SIMs network. (i.e. If Globe is installed on SIM slot 1, you should select myGlobe WAP) etc.

Do the same for SIM2

To test,Go to Main Menu – > Services -> WAP – > Sim 1 or Sim 2 -> Homepage. This should display the WAP homepage of that particular network.

For GPRS/MMS activation, please call the respective customer service of your SIMs network provider
