Yesterday evening, Globe Telecom did a launch of the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 with a couple of offers to prepaid and postpaid subscribers.

Being first to market with the Bold 9700, Globe is offering a pre-paid price of Php28,995.

If you are on Globe Post-paid, you can get the Blackberry Bold 9700 for free starting at Plan 3500. If you want unlimited data surfing with it, there’s a BlackBerry Plan 3799. Post-paid subscribers also get a free Enjoy Philippines kit we featured here before.

If you want the pre-paid option, just get it for Php28,995 and then subscribe to unlimited internet with an additional Php1,200 per month on Super Surf.

Looks like the new Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3 and the S10-3T tablet netbooks are here and local prices aren’t that bad too.

Local PC retailer, Villman, is listing the two new IdeaPad models as follows:


Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3
10.1″ display screen @ 1024×600 pixels
Intel Atom N450 @ 1.66GHz
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150
250GB HDD
1GB DDR2 RAM
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth
6-cell Li-Ion battery
Multi-touch trackpad
Windows 7 Starter
Price: Php23,900


Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3T
10.1″ touch-screen display @ 1024×600 pixels
Intel Atom N450 @ 1.66GHz
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150

1GB DDR2 RAM

The design and form factor looks interesting, especially with the tablet model. The keys on the keyboard also inherited the same edgy & concave shapes.

Nokia Booklet 3G in the flesh!

Posted: 10 Feb 2010 08:10 PM PST


So here we have it — one of the very first few Nokia Booklet 3G in the country. We don’t know when it will be released in the Philippines but if it ever did, at least we’re able to share with you some close-up shots and a review ahead to help you get decided.

I have to admit, the Nokia Booklet 3G is just gorgeous (and I use this word very sparingly). Pretty solid aluminum construction. If it didn’t have the Nokia logo on the glossy-black lid cover, I’d easily mistaken it for an Apple netbook (okay, the non-existent one).

Nokia Booklet 3G specs:
10.1″ display screen @ 1280×720 pixels
Intel Atom Z530 1.6GHz
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 500
1GB DDR2 RAM
120GB HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
3G Modem
Integrated GPS and A-GPS
1.3MP camera
HDMI port, 3 x USB 2.0 ports
SD card reader

The Booklet 3G is Nokia’s first attempt to enter the laptop segment so it will be interesting how it will position itself in this already-crowded market. We’ll have the full review of this unit in a week or two so stay tuned for that.

What’s buzzing with Google Buzz?

Posted: 10 Feb 2010 06:13 PM PST


So I’ve added the new Google Buzz into my GMail and see if I can see some use for it. I’ve also added my YouTube, Twitter and sites like YugaTech.

Now, updates I make on those sites and accounts will also appear in my Google Buzz stream. Likewise, updates made by people (comments, etc.) will also be streamed into my Google Buzz. I only wish though that comments made on the Buzz will also be inserted into those sites (the other way around).

So, I’m looking at my Google Buzz as an stream of alerts. Other than that, I don’t see any use for it now. Feels like channel surfing.

But what happened to Google Wave? Buzz looked like a scaled down Google Wave to me. Hopefully, this won’t be another time-waster. I got some nagging privacy concerns too.

How do you find Google Buzz so far?
