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 »
Samsung M8800 Pixon, officially launched
On my previous post, I wrote about the rumors of having the Samsung M8800 Pixon here in the Philippines. The long wait is over. Last December 3, Samsung Philippines launched in Metro Manila this 8.0-megapixel full touch camera phone. The phone was launched in The A Venue in Makati City where a lot of people from media, telecommunication companies, cellphone sellers, and bloggers attended.
I thought at first that Samsung M8800 Pixon is just one of those typical camera phones, but it’s not. Everytime Samsung launches a new top of the line product, they always make sure that it outstands all the existing products in the market and the Pixon made this remark into reality.

Changing W960i Fonts
One thing I hate about my Sony Ericsson W960i is its pre-installed font. The SE’s default UIQ3 font is quite wide. I always use small font for my phone and it does not look good when using that setting. So, I decided to mod my Walkman phone and change the its default font.
The default font (left) is much wider than the Motorola Z8′s font (right).
Sony Ericsson T303
Sony Ericsson is one of the best manufacturers of slide-phone in the industry. I always admire each of their slide-phone designs. Sony Ericsson did it again. They have produced another cool slide phone, the Sony Ericsson T303.
If you are looking for a sleek and compact phone, the new Sony Ericsson T303 is the right one for you. This 83 x 47 x 14.7 mm slider phone features a metal finish which gives it a classy look.
Did I say ‘classy’? But don’t be fooled by the looks because the Sony Ericsson T303 is an entry level phone for those who are tight on budget. The last time I checked with Sony Ericsson (Philippines), they sell this gadget for PhP 5, 300.00 (approx $115.00)
