If you’ve been holding off from getting the LG G2 until now, well, LG’s got a good news for you. Come October 20 — that’s a Sunday, so work shouldn’t be a reason to miss this one — the Korean company will throw two accessories along with every purchase of an LG G2. Sounds like a good deal, yes?

So what are those accessories? Well, it’s the QuickWindow Case — worth P1,500 — which features a small cut-out on the front so you can check your missed notifications, control music playback, check who’s calling, and check new text messages at one glance without flipping the case.

The other is the LG Pocket Photo Printer, a very mobile and handy printer which was only recently launched. It connects to your Android or iOS devices using Bluetooth or NFC and prints high-quality photos on the go. This alone is already worth P7,999, so go grab it for free while you still can.

The best part? You can get all these at the normal SRP of P27,990.

It also packs a 13 megapixel camera with sapphire crystal lens, 9-point autofocus, 60fps 1080p full HD recording, and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) which should prevent you from taking blurry shots.

Smart’s Piso Sale is back with the iPhone 4, HTC Mozart, Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 and more!

Remember Smart’s Piso Sale that happened back in March where they offered a couple of phones for just a single peso? Well it’s back and Smart is feeling a bit generous and is throwing away a few high-end devices for just P1 too!

The Smart Piso Sale, which started yesterday, gives you the opportunity to grab a device for only P1! Among the devices that are included in the sale is Apple’s iPhone 4, which you can get for a price of a piece of candy under the All-In Plan 1800. That’s the best deal for an iPhone that you can get right now from any carrier here. Along with the iPhone 4, you can choose from the business-centric Nokia E7 or the Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1.

If you’re on a tight budget or just prefer a lower plan, you can choose from the iPhone 3GS or the Nokia E5 which is available at All-In Plan 1200. For the Plan 800, there’s the Samsung N150 netbook and the Nokia N9 in 16 and 64 GB variant, though if you’ll choose the N9, going with the 64 GB one is a logical choice of course. For the lowest All-In Plan 500, the choices are the Nokia E72 which is a great QWERTY phone, the Samsung Wave II S8530 equipped with Bada OS, and the HTC 7 Mozart which is running Windows Phone 7.5 Mango.

There are also phones that are available with Smart’s Unli Plan 599 which comes with unlimited calls and texts to the Smart network too – the Netphone 501, Nokia C2-03, and the Sony Ericsson Cedar J108. All of those phones is only P1 with their respective plans.

So if you’re looking to get a smartphone or even just a phone, this is just the best and only time to do it! Who knows if Smart will do a Piso Sale again or not in the future?

Visit Smart’s Piso Sale website or call their hotline 848-8877 or *887 using your Smart mobile phone.

Nokia Lumianation in the Philippines: The Grand Launch

Yesterday night was a very amazing night for me. Why? Because I was at the very awesome event that I've ever attended in my life! Nokia held their grand launch for the four Nokia Lumia devices at the Bonifacio High Street Central.

The event was attended by people from the traditional and online media, telecom partners and distributors, as well as some people that were luckily picked from Nokia's Facebook page. The venue was designed with colorful Lumia accents with tiles pattern.

The main highlight of the event was the super wowesome 4D projection, similar to what they did in UK. Take a look.

Sorry for the low quality video. I forgot to change the resolution to 720p. Anyway, Nokia took us back in time with a short recap of their long history of innovation dating from 1998. Windows Phone and Nokia Lumia features such as the People hub and Nokia Drive were also shown off at the 4D projection at the Amphitheater building.

Nokia also gave away several Lumia devices including a 900 at the attendees. I was literally 1 number close to winning a Lumia 610. Ha!

Back to the phones, the Nokia Lumia 900 will be coming out in June with the SRP off P27,990 which also comes with a Nokia Purity Headset by Monster. The most affordable Nokia Lumia, the Lumia 610 is now available at Nokia Stores for only P10,980; the Lumia 710 on Unlimited Data Plan 1000 from Smart; the Lumia 800 on Globe on their Unli Surf Combo Plan 1799 and also available at Nokia Stores for P23,500.

Fly All Over the Country for Free with Nokia Lumia
And to celebrate the launch of the Lumia devices, Nokia has teamed up with Microsoft and Philippine Airlines for the Nokia Lumia - PAL Promo where you can win unlimited PAL flights to the top local destinations in the country such as Legaspi, Kalibo, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Davao, and Puerto Princesa!

You must be a Nokia Lumia owner to join this promo. To start, just text I CAN LUMIA <YOUR NOKIA LUMIA IMEI>/<FULL NAME>/<ADDRESS> and send it to 2600 for Globe and Smart subcribers.

All purchases made from May 18 to June 15, 2012 from Nokia, Globe, and Smart, and other participating retail stores are eligible. Travel period is from July 1, 2012 to July 1, 2013. The raffle draw will be held on June 17, 2012. 

*Terms and conditions apply.

So there you go Nokia fans! Be a part of the Lumianation now!

Before I forgot, let me tell you that I spotted two Nokia 808 PureView at the event. First one is when I was being photographed, an unknown guy stood beside the photographer and also took a photo of me. My brother then whispered, "Kuya, yung ginamit na pang-picture sayo Nokia 808 PureView." The last one was when we're already leaving. Unfortunately I didn't had the chance to get a hands-on. Well, there's always next time.

More event photos below.

Just arrived at the venue. Doing some last minute set-ups.

People starting to arrive.

The Amazing Splash Wall where people get to pop small balloons filled with colorful inks.

The bar list.

The colorful stage with some giant rubik's cube. No?

The aftermath of the Amazing Splash Wall. So wonderful.

T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 Appears On eBay Ahead Official Launch

I saw an eBay listing just this morning on a T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 710 but I ignored it because it was already 5AM here and I'm already on the couch lying down. So, here's the story...

There's still 12 days left before the Nokia Lumia 710 arrives on T-Mobile. But that has not stopped an eBay seller to put up an auction on the said device. The seller claims that he/she just won the device from Nokia, or probably from T-Mobile. Right now, the current bid is at $355 and there's still 5 days left before the bidding ends. So, if you want to be the first owner of the Lumia 710 on the US of A, head on to eBay and place your bids now. The seller is also a trusted one, with 100% feedback.

Local network carriers Globe Telecom and Smart Communications has began accepting pre-orders for the iPhone 4S, almost 2 months after it went on sale on U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the U.K last October 14.

Reserve Your iPhone 4S NOW From Globe! No 64GB Available

Just in case you're itching to get your hands on the new iPhone 4S, look! The pre-order page for Globe Telecom has been leaked before the official launch. The page lists the 16GB and 32GB both in Black and White. It looks like they won't offer the new 64GB model.

As for the pricing, I guess they will offer the iPhone 4S for FREE on Plan 3,799 monthly for the 16GB variant.

You can now 'unofficially' pre-order your iPhone 4S here. Hurry up before it's taken down by Globe if you really want to be the first ones to get it.

Nokia Lumia 800 Price Cut on 2012

Eldar Murtazin strikes back again. He just said in a tweet that Nokia has already decided a price cut for the Lumia 800 that will take effect on second half of January or by February 2012. The price of Lumia 800 will be slashed by 15%. Eldar calls it "success", ironically.

Well for me, it has been a tradition of Nokia to slash prices of a product after maybe 6 months or so, but for a newly launched product, I don't think it's good, given that the Lumia 800 is not yet even released in many countries.
