NOKIA ASHA 501 DS Launch!

I've never been to a Nokia event, nope, I really haven't!

This was my first time; and good thing it's with something BIG (even if the product is small) out of Nokia's shelves. I've seen the preview of this a couple of months ago and now it's finally here! Nokia had some cute things on their sleeve before the big reveal. Trust me, this is quite amusing!

Whimsical Colors!

As if a proper introduction was to take place, Nokia had us wander off this place with Manicure services, live Shirt printing exhibitions and booze at lunch time. It was awesome I tell you! But I asked my self, why are they showing all these colors?

 They've got a manicure corner! :)

They also had Live freehand shirt painting - I now have my first Nokia shirt! :)

And the booze of different colors and mixes! I had three! LOL

Now I asked, why all these colors?... well it made sense once I got to see the same palette on the nearby poster hehe :)

It's the new Nokia Asha 501 Dual Sim, yes you heard that right... it's got 2 SIM card support. Nokia has listened to its consumers and made the perfect smartphone handset for us Filipinos and what's neat is that they also have your Phonebook covered as 4000 Contacts can fit in your phone memory alone. Add to that your dual sim feature and you probably have all your Facebook friends on the list!

There is a FastView feature which remembers all the apps you recently used so you can go back to them easily, just by scrolling up and down.

It's available in Bright Red, Bright Green, Cyan, Yellow, White and Black so if you choose a different cover, it's also available separately and is called the "Nokia Shells. What ever time of day, or if you want to match it with your outfit, a simple flick and the back cover is easy to replace. It's also WIFI capable so if you prefer connecting on wireless B and G standard networks, it's going to be fast and easy! Since ours is a Dual SIM model, the Stand-by time would be 624 h. No joke. The presenter even had the same handset for the Malaysian launch a few weeks before and didn't even charge it. Talk time would be 17 h, but really who's gonna talk that long? LOL! It's one of the best phones at this price point and I couldn't believe Nokia is still earning from this!

It retails for only Php4,490 (VAT inclusive) and comes with the best apps preloaded from the Nokia Store like Facebook, Twitter, The Weather Channel, plus almost all the popular games you see on different OS'. Graphics on the small screen is phenomenal and from the looks of it, they will be even coming out with more very useful apps soon! Get your Nokia ASHA 501 DS handsets now on your local mobile phone operator or retail stores nationwide!

Jake Cuenca Endorses MY|VIEW and MOVE

Jake Cuenca just passed by a store to pick his Mom a gift. He went in and bought a new TV. This TV had all the things he need like HD Video quality, the ports for his consoles, video streaming machines, plus it doesn't rob him of anything because it's so affordable! The TV in this case was manufactured by a brand called MY|VIEW. They invited him back one day and asked about the purchase he did a couple of months ago, then you know what they did? They got him to be the new face of this brand and also it's mobile division called MOVE. Isn't that just fate happening? =)

The executives were more than glad to actually have Jake Cuenca be part of their family. Since they are young, bold and still trying to penetrate the local market, they see it apt to get a person with the same characteristics as their TV's, Android Mobile Phones and Tablets. Pretty soon they even told us that Jake would eventually be involved in design as his name will also be included in one or more products this coming year. This is the start of something big and to get seen, they have over 100 buses in Metro Manila carrying the brand with Jake Cuenca representing them as MOVE and MY|VIEW taps what it considers the start of something BIG.

I got to see what they have for the MY|VIEW TV's and saw some 32inch LED ones costing onl Php10,995. The 40 inch LED TV on the other hand costs around Php15,995 while the 40inch Smart LED TV costs only Php19,995, mind you these would probably cost hundreds of thousands of pesos if it's from other brands. These quality sets have about the same amount of specs and you don't need to shell out that much for it. They also have other sizes like the 42 inch at 24,995, the 24 inch at 6,995, the 42 inch at 19,995 and the 32 inch at 11,995 pesos. You just have to choose what fits your room and get some of these screens at a fraction of a cost!

Their MOVE Tablets on the other hand range from Php3,995 to Php7,995 which are all Android based. Their PLAY by MOVE gaming console is also a hit with the kids who want to get serious with gaming. These are just a few of their products available at all leading appliance establishments nationwide! It's also seen in Lazada.com.ph if you wish to purchase these online instead!

Congratulations to MY|VIEW and MOVE for this successful partnership with Jake Cuenca. I'm sure your brand will go places! Continue to improve lives of your customers by creating simple, high quality and user friendly products! I'll get one of those LED TV sets soon, can I be your next model perhaps? LOL!

Toshiba Launches New High Performance Laptops in the Philippines!

A few days ago I was invited to one of the most entertaining afternoons I have ever been in courtesy of Toshiba, the Philippines number one brand when it comes to laptop computers.They were there to launch new stylish, high performance laptop computers specifically designed for consumers who want the best when it comes to these hardware pieces.

Case in point..

They got these two play roles: a chef, a businessman and what not. I was so afraid of what they did to the laptop computers, why? 

They sliced and diced in it.. cracked chestnuts on its edges, then even stepped on the thing for a couple of minutes! Dang I was not even laughing because I know no laptop computer can probably withstand that! Lo and behold these gadgets all went out still functional as if nothing even happened. Imagine that!

Toshiba's executives were confident that these line of specialized laptop computers can outperform their counterparts in the market. They believe that Filipinos know they are getting high performance and quality laptop computers just by seeing the brand alone. Their track record has proven their worth and they don't stop innovating because they know their market only deserves the best. They came out with these new models.

The Qosmio X Series which is designed for gaming enthusiasts had the right amount of graphics and processing ability to support those hard to play games right in your laptop computer. It's got a massive 17.3 inch display, Intel core processor, 16GB RAM, a GEForce GTX 770M graphics card and a 3GB GDDE5 Video Ram that comes with it. They also have the Harmon Kardon speakers which cannot be seen in other laptop computers as it is specifically designed for Toshiba, how can anyone beat that?

The new Satellite L Series (L40 and L50) is on the other hand designed for heavy multimedia users. Stylish yet very functional, it boasts of the fourth generation of Intel Core processors, GEForce GT 745M card, a frame buffer of 4GB and still has room for an optical drive. It' also got a 15.6 inch screen and a touchpad that also supports 10 point touch and swipe functions not available in other brands of it's equivalent computing power.

The new Satellite S Series (S40) is Toshiba's answer for the consumer who requires both power and a good amount of entertainment capable of making each owner fully productive and still fun because it's got a 14.1 inch display,  750GB HDD storage for all your files to fit in and DTS Sound via the build in Onkyo Speakers. What's even better is that it feels as convenient like using a tablet or smartphone because of its 10 point touch display which functions the same way as these touch enabled devices. Pretty cool!

The new Satellite P Series stays stylish and functional as these are supercomputing powers that exists in reality. These are entertainment optimized too so you never bore out of presentations or watching in the comforts of your own home. It's got 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch versions which could fit your need if you prefer a smaller one but still keeping full HD features. It's got 1 TB drive space, 32 GB of 1600MHz DDR3L memory, new USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI 1.4 standard port and the same Harman Kardon quality speakers capable of producing DTS Studio Sound. How's that for show?

The Protege Z10t is Toshiba's answer for those who want a combined laptop pc and tablet who would definitely fit executives and frequent travelers without lugging around massive piece of equipment since this is a true blue Ultrabook at only 850 grams. It's durable, powerful and convenient and I wanted one for myself. I have yet to ask Toshiba if they can lend us a review unit soon!

Each Toshiba laptop featured here come with service and support within their SelecServ Program. You can opt for customized warranty coverage so you don't have to pay for some things that you don't really need. That's something others brand don't even want to do costing you an arm and a leg just to get your laptop covered.

So cut to the chase and purchase one of these beauties. I know I must have that Protege thing soon. will they listen? LOL
