Got these speed test results for Sun Broadband Wireless from NeoSonick of PEx.

For Php999 a month, unlimited wireless broadband, is Sun Broadband Wireless worth your money? Let me know. Drop a comment. Thanks!

I was finally able to use my Nokia 6630 as a modem with the Mac over bluetooth. With uMobile as mobile carrier, I was able to surf at somewhat very slow speed for a 3G connection. I have to keep in mind though that this connection was made over bluetooth. But either way, I should [...]

Here’s another round of speed tests of Smart 3G. This time, I’m using my Macbook and Nokia 3120 classic as a modem via Bluetooth. I’m still contemplating on getting Sun Broadband Wireless. But I’m holding back until I get enough feedback.

Wifi hotspot hunting proved expensive. And the free wifi at home is intermittent. What’s the last resort? Smart 3G, of course. So what did I need to get this done? Here they are:

Just like this geek, everyone else is waiting for the Apple iPhone 3G to be officially released here in the Philippines. As of now, Globe Telecom has not announced any specific release date yet. A hint, however, points to an August 22, 2008 release date. If the rumors are indeed true, then I’m keeping my [...]

Thanks to Smart’s Retention Program, I could get a new 3G phone for free at Plan 800 consumable. With the retention program, I’m locking myself up with Smart for another two years. But I don’t have to pay to get a new phone. There are four phones to choose from. Which phone should I get?
