Haaay, Phone....

So, this baby was finally launched in the Philippines last August 22. Question is, Is it worth the wait? The iPhone3G is probably the slickest and coolest phone, but will it make it to the text capital of the world? It sells at Php 41,899.00 thru Globe. Let's see, There are still little things that many Filipino mobile users will find lacking in the iPhone 3G. Halimbawa, it does not accept business cards nor can contacts from other handsets be sent through Bluetooth, Tapos, it does not have a text-forwarding function. For the heavy phone users, they cannot just bring a spare battery to replace a drained one. Oh, btw, the iPhone 3G does not have an accessible battery compartment for easy replacement of a drained battery. iPhone 3G battery life is shorter than the first iPhone, especially when 3G is turned on. Haaay, Phone.

"Let's Volt Innnn!!!" I guess Filipinos my age remember this famous line by heart! Well, who would ever forget this amazing (back in the 70s) Ultraelectromagnetic Japanese creation? I really have to have this posted here, well, a part of my robot collections, it's a Voltes Five Soul of Chogokin Gx-31 Die-cast metal. Cool, huh? It's an amazing collection, a must-have for people who grew up with these series of robot-animes back in the days! For some of you whose not aware of the Voltes Five robot and how it works check this video out! (photos by Gilbert Semillano 2008)
