Photo c/o Kimstore

It's like a bullet struck my head and hit me where if freakin hurts! and then wooooshhh (IDEA)! I was thinking "Oh yeah apple fans from the Philippines are gonna love this!".

Kimstore has finally done something amazing, AGAIN (ok that's besides the fact that they are the most successful and also THE BEST online shop for gadgets, cameras, gaming console, etc in the Philippines. Oh and I am not being paid to say this stuff...) they made it possible to pre - order the iphone 5 through their online shop! all you have to do is fill up this forms from this link: Pre-Order Form

Ok the only downside to it is that they don't have the prices yet, but I know those itching hands of yours would not care about that! (ok just trying to be funny). But don't lose hope I know they will update the public ASAP regarding the prices of the units (REALLY hoping and praying that the prices would be a little lower than on the 2 huge companies contract binding deals).

I hope you guys found this article really helpfull.

Thanks for reading! til next post!

We Will Rule You!!!

It's been a week since the release of the Iphone 5. And everything is still in chaos! it was like martial law was declared again! ( ok so I was exaggerating a little bit ). It really is annoying actually that everyone is already debating on what phone is better, comparing it to the SGSIII the fact that the iphone hasn't really been released yet and I believe that nobody has used it. Funny how a lot of people tend to declare which is better based on specs that 90% of the consumers don't really understand! wew. . . digitaltrends.com made a really nice article on the Iphone5 Vs. Samsung Galaxy SIII specs showdown which is something you guys should check out!

So after days of silence Samsung threw a really large stone on apple this week by releasing a controversial print ad, that shows the comparison between the specs of the iphone 5 and the SIII, which has the tag " It doesn't take a genius ". And apparently some apple fans really got pissed off, which was in my opinion really funny and immature at some point. Check out the Ad!

Iphone5 vs. Samsung Galaxy S3 Ad

Ok so after searching the web i found lots and lots of parodies about the ad that somehow gave Samsung a taste of their own medicine. After all of this it just made me hungry and think of funny ideas regarding the ongoing debate!

THINGS I REALIZED!!!!

1. Apple fans might kill for the iphone5!
2. Samsung fans will laugh at Apple fans for the course of time that this ad will be placed publicly
3. Nokia, HTC, LG, and other mobile companies are still waiting for Apple and Samsung to destroy each other  fighting for the control over people's minds on which phone is better!
4. Whatever Samsung does they still have to pay that 1billion dollars that they owe to Apple. Hence the title We Will Rule You!!!
5. Due to that Apple is now 1billion dollars richer!
6. People will buy whatever this 2 companies make and sell. They got us hypnotized!
7. Now size doesn't only matter physically, it also matters gadgetly! (wow GADGETLY????!!!)
8. No matter what specs they place on their ads 70%-80% of people still looks at what MP is the camera of the phones and what Gb the memory of the phones are! better MP and Gb = BEST PHONE EVER!!!

*** 

Having said all that, I would like to reiterate that those are just ideas and are not pertaining to reality or are considered as opinions only.

***

In the end I really don't care about which Phone is better for me what's important is what phone I CAN AFFORD! you can't blame me i'm a very practical person. 

Being the best phone or gadget will still be opinionated and will always be reliant on the needs of the users, and people please wait until after the iphone5 is released and being used before the declarations of being the best. I also believe that the declarations and decisions on which phone is better is placed solely on the people who had the privilege of using both phones.

I give a thumbs up for Samsung for having the guts to make that ad, and a thumbs up to Iphone 5 just because they got Samsung to a point that they decided to make that ad!

Oh well! That's it for this rant I guess. Til next post!

Hello to the New Iphone 5! in a layman's stand point

Elo!

So I stood up all night (ok well until 3am here) excitedly waiting for the release of the Iphone 5 by Apple. The tension was building up in my mind because really, with all of the fearless forecast of the people regarding the new features and the new look of the new phone who wouldn't be curious? It even came to a point that I would dream about holding it in my hands, cuddling it, tucking it in bed, and continously... Oh well that's a story that's way off topic. Anyways after the much awaited release of the Iphone 5, this is what I got.

Apple Iphone 5 Specs:

***
The Iphone 5 has a LONGER screen than that of it's older generations, it has a good 4 inch screen which is also containing more vivid and clearer display.

They boasted a longer battery life for the phone compared to the 4 and 4s. (yet to be tested personally).

It's lighter and thinner. 18% lighter than the 4s as they claimed. made entirely of aluminum and glass. ( ok please of course the insides and other hardware are not made of aluminum and glass!!)

They basically said that everything will be faster on the Iphone 5. an A6 chip meaning faster app loading time and gaming experience, Ultrafast LTE and Wireless connection (150mbps).

Camera still at 8mp on the back, better aperture, better speaker, better videos taken, better front face camera.

Alot of improvements due to the IOS6. SIRI just became smarter!

It comes in black and slate, and white and silver combo!

The Dock port is now smaller and they called it LIGHTNING! (iCloud, iLightning, iThunder? haha)


Well i wouldn't go too deep on the specs, I just stated everything that a layman would look for if he was reading a specs review of the gadget because seriously we only look for 3 things when checking out a phone especially here in the Philippines.

(photo taken from http://www.tourism.gov.ph)

1.) HOW MANY MEGAPIXELS IS THE CAMERA?
2.) DOES IT HAVE WIFI?
3.) HOW MUCH IS IT?

Funny isn't it but that's the reality, even I'm guilty of those most of the time!

Alright then! all in all I must say after all the waiting I was a little bit disappointed with what I got. Is it just me or were my hopes really too high for the ip5? I was kinda hoping for much better specs, and even on the design, Literally I was in my seat and said "So we have a longer Iphone? what now???". I even got the same reactions from my friends when they heard the news. Although I really am applauding all the new features and functions the new iphone has for me I think it just have that wow factor that's missing, or maybe it's because of all those tease and speculations that people gave that lead me to a very high expectation.

And so for all the readers, if you live in a third world country like ours and you might want to buy an iphone 5 and you already have a 4s or you already have the SIII or Galaxy note and you are not really using your phone for anything else but playing, communications, and music please be WISE and PRACTICAL, maybe you should stick with your current phone. But if you are part of that "intsy bitsy tiny" percentage of REALLY RICH people here in our country, go ahead and buy it's not like anyone's stopping you from spending your money, (i'm silently thinking now that maybe you have already pre-ordered from apple while reading this LOL!). In my opinion I think I'd keep the iphone5 in my wants list and not really on the needs list.



For those who would want to buy, and are capable of buying. the release dates are as follows:

US, Canada, UK, Germany, Australia, France, Japan, Hongkong and Singapore - September 21, 2012.

Philippines and other 3WC - No idea yet whatsoever haha. maybe on October or the holidays season (I'll update you on that)

Prices are the same as the ones on the release of the 4S, carriers are both SMART and GLOBE. (still waiting for both carriers to announce their plans, and if LTE will be available here in the Philippines)

In case you are wondering what LTE is it stands for Long-Term Evolution simply put its the 3G's better brighter faster stronger brother!


Still in the end I think I'm sticking with my GALAXY NOTE.


So you were waiting for a cool and awesome in-depth look at the specs right? ain't gonna happen because as you can see in the title this would be on a layman's view. If you really want a good review and a reliable source regarding the Iphone5 please visit Sir Abe's site at yugatech.com, or you can follow their facebook account https://www.facebook.com/YugaTech. He has a good review of the Phone and tons of gadgets and techstuff that you might want to see. (thanks Sir Abe I borrowed the Iphone 5 photo from your site hehe).

ok that's all I'm sleepy and tired, this is hard! hehe til next post! ^^,
