Hands on Photos of Samsung Omnia HD
Having techie friends has its perks. I was able to borrow a (beta) test unit of the new Samsung Omnia HD from Kuya Jayvee. I took advantage by taking these photos.
Since Samsung Omnia HD runs on the latest Symbian Foundation software, the new user interface (UI) looks pretty similar to that of Nokia 5800’s.

Google Map View now available for Manila, Cebu, and Davao Maps
More than a month ago, I blogged about Google’s silent deployment of the Philippine street maps in Google Maps for Mobile and Google Maps for web. The new map data were taken from the Google’s Mapmaker for Philippines, a web application which allows user to openly plot streets, places, landmarks, and establishments in the map. Though the initial deployment of the said project was only available on the Satellite View, it was very note worthy since it’s a major milestone for the history of Google Maps for Philippines.
But recently, after I missed checking Google Maps Mobile for a couple of weeks, I learned that Google finally deployed on the Map View the street maps of Philippine’s key cities like Manila, Cebu, and Davao among others. You can now make use of the map view to check your approximate location (for non-GPS phones) or pinpoint your exact latitudes and longitudes if you’re using a GPS-enabled mobile phone.
Here are some of the sample screenshots taken from my Nokia N82’s Google Maps. These are the screens (from left to right) of Davao Map, Metro Manila Map and Cebu Map. More »
