Torque Droidz Sport Versus the Arc Mobile Prime 350 Mobile Phone Review

Written By Wazzup Pilipinas on Martes, Hulyo 23, 2013 | 6:56 AM


Let's go straight to the point.

The Torque Droidz Sport and the Arc Mobile Prime 350 are so affordable yet they have features too good for their price range. With the addition of extra memory to improve storage space, they could very well be the promising units enough to satisfy the basic mobile needs of an individual.

But, of course I would let you know which one between the two is more superior.

I usually do my reviews after more than a week of usage so as to make sure everything was well checked and tested. We can't afford to rush things. We need to be able to present the actual daily experience with the device.

WD My Passport Air 500 GB Review : It's Time To Throw Away My Old USBs and Portable Drives

Written By Wazzup Pilipinas on Lunes, Hulyo 22, 2013 | 1:42 AM


Well, I definitely need more hard drive space. That would always be a requirement every after few months since I deal with lots of photos that I take during events - and product reviews would be one of them busy activities that will add more files on my USB storage drives.

I really do not want to fill my MacBook  hard drive with all my files. It's so difficult to organize with the very limited space taht I most likely will just reserve for my Photo and Video Editing applications. Most of the time I would like to carry the photos and videos around in several USB drives to show them to my clients.

However, dangling with me several USB drives just won't do any more. I need more storage space but I want a durable storage space at the same time. I'm even willing to pay more just to keep my data safe, and I prefer a storage space that will let me access my data fast - with ease and convenience. Having no worries means a lot especially when your files mean more expensive than the gadget itself.

Luckily, I stumbled upon the WD My Passport Air.

Asus Fonepad Review : Will It Be Your Next Tablet Upgrade?


Wazzup Pilipinas!

From the same brand that gave us the Transformer Pad and the Taichi, now comes the Fonepad, one of the few seven-inch tablets with 3G phone and internet access ever introduced here in the Philippines.

You must admit that a seven-inch tablet pressed to your ear will surely turn a few heads. You should be prepared for some rather odd stares from strangers should you decide to put the FonePad to your ear and make a phone call in public. A device or gadget that can be used as a standard smartphone aside from being a tablet, will surely looked great as promised.

The strikingly cool looking Asus FonePad is one of those combination or merging of a Smartphone and a tablet - more widely accepted to be called a "Phablet".

Arc Mobile Prime 350 Review : Bang for the Buck Mobile Phone

Written By Wazzup Pilipinas on Miyerkules, Hulyo 3, 2013 | 6:17 AM


Arc Mobile Prime 350 Review


Arc Mobile phones are so feature-filled yet very affordable and quite sturdy. The Arc mobile Prime 350 proves my point that you can get quality mobile phones for just a few thousand bucks.

The retail price is only an approximate Php 2, 500 more or less - give and take a few pesos. But every peso is worth it.

It has a  3.5" Capacitive Touch Screen, 1.3 MP back + VGA Front camera, FM Radio, TV, MP3 Player, Dual SIM, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc....


Its running on Android 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) and you have access to 100+ games and Apps via Play Store.


The battery is a 2000 mAh Li-ion Battery.


External memory is up to 32 GB MicroSD.


I've been taking the unit with me everywhere I go and it has not failed on me yet except for the following:


1. Touch Screen - The 3.5" screen may be too small for my fingers because most of the time I miss on the keys and keep hitting other letters when I try to draft a message or SMS. I keep hitting the wrong letters on its QWERTY touch screen keypad. But there are times, its OK and I'm not having any problems especially if I use the phones on a landscape display. 



2. TV - It could only get a few clear receptions. But I guess that's the same experience for all mobile phones with TV,  though the clarity of reception varies depending on your location.



Since the case color is a combination of black and white, the body of the mobile phone looks thick as compared to the more expensive high-end branded one. But that's quite negligible if you're only looking for a mobile phone that is reliable and filled with nice features. The grasps is actually convenient and is comfortable enough to hold..



At the top portion of the Arc Mobile Prime350, we can see the slots for the headset, the power, the on-off button, and the antenna.



The left side has the ringer control to increase or decrease sound.



Though I'm not yet finish trying to install apps on the phone, I might just post this now before I forget everything else worth mentioning.



And since there are others that are requesting we review their products, we may have to schedule it appropriately.



Like what they've been saying "You get what you paid for." but this particular  mobile phone is quite a great value.

I enjoyed using the Arc Mobile Prime 350 if not for the touch screen keypad dilemma.
