Sun Broadband Quest to Culminate with a Bang via Rock Fest

The search for the next big rock group comes full circle as ten college bands compete head to head in a rock concert finale as Sun Broadband Quest Battle of the Bands stage a music fest at Music Museum on July 12.

Among over a hundred of hopefuls that registered, the final ten bands from all over the country have been selected to battle it out for rock supremacy. To help every team to be on their top shape at the finale, Sun Broadband even held an intensive workshop for each member of the band from voice to instruments with mentors such as local industry greats Nyoy Volante, Ebe Dancel, Francis Reyes, Mally Paraguya, Eunice Jorge and Mike Dizon. Needless to say, the competition is fierce and the battle arena is serious.

“We have a ton of musical talents today and Sun Cellular, in partnership with MCA Music Inc, is dedicated to discover new talents and provide opportunities to our greatest, undiscovered talents today,” says Neph Denosta, Assistant-Vice President for Broadband Postpaid Marketing of Sun Cellular. “We’ve pulled together all the possible avenues and means to make each team not only be more prepared for the finale, but also prosper as a veritable musical act beyond the competition.”

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The explosion of mobile devices has gone exponential. Whether powered by Apple iOS, Android,Blacberry, Windows, or any of the other mobile OS, it is with no doubt that everyone has gone mobile and online.


Imagine a world were everyone is always connected and informed. Now that is something great to look forward to - unless somebody uses it for an evil scheme - Nah! but maybe - along with the development comes coders, programmers or developers with the skills to dramatically change the world through apps and the codes running them.

Right now the "in" thing to keep connected and look "cool" at the same time are the tablet PCs, and what makes them fascinating is that they keep becoming as powerful as the PC.

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

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.
